I got to see Counterparts for the third time last Thursday. I was proud to see that a band which has done so much for me, was getting the recognition they deserved and had earned. I had doubts that the wave of fans coming in were real, I thought they were all just bandwagoners or stupid pop punk kids who found Counterparts on tumblr with their lyrics over a mountain or some shit, but I was really happy to see that people actually have a fuck about the band and knew the words and went crazy. For the final two songs I had what were arguably the best moments of my life. I got to scream "you are the difference between hell and home" right into the mic. All I could think about was her. All she's done for me and what she means. Maybe I'm just some stupid kid who doesn't know the first thing about love, but what I do know is that there is no better description of her than that. She is the difference between hell and home. And on the last song "The disconnect", I finally got to say what I've always wanted to say. "I fucking hate the world, I fucking hate myself, I fucking swore I'd never feel like this." I screamed that right into the mic. The whole room was screaming with me but I could only hear myself. I have never felt so at peace as I did in that moment. I know everyone heard me and I'm okay with that. Maybe all I wanted was to be heard, to be understood. I screamed at the top of my lungs and from the bottom of my heart. I meant it. I fucking hate everything, but I do love some things. Her, shows and music. Her and these shows I go to and the bands I love and respect are the difference between hell and home. Thanks Counterparts.

Here's another track by me and my boy RJ, who makes his vocal debut! Enjoy and share. LYRICS: We are all meant to feel heart ache How could you build the highest mountain  And cause the worst avalanche They look at me and see the scars "How many times have you put yourself back together?"  These do not compare to crossing rivers The pain is all numb and yet my insides burn Love is finite Love it always dies Your voice was home to me Your arms were home to me Your heart was home to me But now the house empty Can the heart hold memories? Its the moments when I'm alone That I know that you don't love me The house that love built  Was made from lies The house that love built  Is empty There is no tomorrow for dead lovers Remove the romance and you're left with a tic The annoyances of love lost The memories that don't fade away I often confuse your voice with the creaks of the floorboards constant reminders that our pasts walk with us And every time I sing this song Ill hear the voice you cry with And every time I sing this song Ill hear the voice we died with

Yo tumblr I'd really appreciate it if you listened to a song me and my friend wrote called "Fate Has It". Its for our acoustic project River Bird. His last name is Piccioni which means "Pigeon" and mine is Rivas which means "Lives by the river" so that's how we got the name. Im the guy on the right singing and attempting to hold back burps ahahahha (note to self don't eat pizza before recording). I apologize for the going flat at times I was improving some parts. Share it with everyone you can and maybe Ill post some solo covers this week or the next. Hopefully you all like it. Criticisms are welcome. Subscribe cuz reasons! :)
