Acoustic Rock to Hard Rock and plenty in between.
Five Years Solitary is a one man project for now. Its something that I do to stay sharp in between the Army and family. I have hopes of putting a band together so I am always writing and recording songs.

Story behind the song
I grew up in a household with a lot of domestic abuse, and I often wondered if my mom ever thought about using the end of a shotgun either on herself or him to end it.
Lyrics
Try to play dumb but you see it Hide all the black around your eyes Say that you're numb but you feel it It's time to face down all the lies Wake up, face the music Stand up for yourself Fight back, no more excuses No one know if you don't tell A dead man will tell no tales [Chorus 1] You don't know what you don't want to know And you'll never show how much is wrong You're only hoping when he's finally done That the end of a shotgun's not the only way out Try to stay alive through the beating Try to get away just to hide Momma bought a gun in secret Daddy has real fear in his eyes Wake up, face the music Point it at his chest Breath out, pull the trigger No one knows if you don't tell A dead man will tell no tales [Chorus 2] You don't know what you don't want to know And you'll never show how much is wrong Now you know that he will never be done And the end of a shotgun is the only way out [Chorus 3] You don't know what you don't want to know And you'll never show how much is wrong Now you know that he will never be done And the end of a shotgun is your only way out
