Know You're Wild
Walking Bombs
Made up my mind/no distractions except you Made up my mind/to burn at the stake if i have to Do I detect a pulse? Are you ready to live? Are you willing to die? Do you know you're wild inside? Made up my mind. This fairy tale better not be grim So let down your hair and let me in. Are you ready to live in the name of the rose or is that just how it goes? Do you know you're wild inside? In the name of the stars/sky/days that we spent getting bent learning how to fly. how to fly. so baby ride or die.

Festiva Maxima
Walking Bombs
She don't need rescuing/she'll do it herself and I'm no punching bag...not here for my health but you captured my attention, my faith in the human race when you walked in the room.

Wilt
Walking Bombs
little flower , smell so sweet first you're growing then you wilt in the heat, leaving only memories behind from all the things we didn't try, a color wheel of suicides and the man says i've got the good book for you to rely on salvation but if you let me choose i just might let you down, with a smile never a frown, just call me stubborn if you choose, if you choose you just might let me down too we do it to each other. go ahead and lock your doors, it's always the easy answer ask yourself if only the worst is still in store a karma cloud we all ignore, lying broken on the floor and the man says i've got to hear a few acts you deplore but if you let me choose i just might let you down with a smile, never a frown. just call me stubborn if you choose, if you choose you just might let me down to you stupid motherfucker.

Carve That Name
Walking Bombs
Carve that name into a tree Just like you carved it in me I hope that we can really last the night I hope that nobody'll die of a fright I know that there are so many more ways we can hurt each other Don't look back Let's get it right Let's go...I know it's time to see a perfect opportunity to shine and be. Let's ruin every chance we're given Cuz even in a furtive stare I know the fear is gonna kill it Cuz even in a furtive stare, but I'd rather hear it...in your words.

Bulletproof Bonfires
Walking Bombs
nobody wants to go nuclear/but they're eating up the shit til their stomachs are full you still think that i'm jealous of you but i'd rather be lesser known than pulling the wool see i believe in the spontaneity/i believe everything can be alright i remember there used to be unity. how worthwhile is the divide but people like to talk or live in a bubble/even when it's so obvious and i'm a fire distinguisher/it's not subjective it's fucking true... and i'm just looking for some kindred spirits to dance around the bonfire i'm just looking for some kindred kids to dance around the bonfire. i'm not a fan of amnesia or one sided conversations. i'm happy in my cave with Satan and a dimebag and the truth. and your version of events is far from bulletproof (fuck you) i'm just looking for some kindred kids to dance around the bonfire.

Plus Side (For Eos)
Walking Bombs
Today I was up with the dawn I can't give up/no matter how hopeless. Wont stay curled up in a bal but I've got to pay attention to the details. And while it's ture that you don't have and I don't have the best mechanisms for coping with all of this, who gives a shit? C'mon baby, let's get with the program. The plus side of an endless war is finding out who your real friends are It's a simple and effective way of taking out the trash c'mon, can you handle the pressure? Fold the room in half and start over. Just get up/face the tribunals Don't deserve so much criticism just because we need to transmit these signals And maybe it's not lead into gold/sure I'm getting older but it still has value I don't care if you've never heard of me or a word I've said before Now I'm knocking down your door The plus side of an endless war is finding out who your real friends are It's a simple and effective way of taking out the trash c'mon, can you handle the pressure? We revere these spaces where we remember to breathe long enough to communicate Revere these spaces/i revere your face We'll remember to breathe today I don't want to live my life so afraid/afraid of double agents Cuz we all bleed red and we all make mistakes So enough with the bullshit. On the plus side, on the plus side.

Anticipation Of Falling
Walking Bombs
Don't be so paralyzed You've been living a life of desperation Taking other people's dictation/hollow expectations I know it kills at times/feeling like there is more to this than displacement It gets tasteless, but I've still got my dreams to chase it. Set aside your fear/embrace your true calling Try to push down the anticipation of falling For all those years, you stood at the waters edge/ So afraid you'd get in over your head. Oh to be an amputee/could I erase my debts with fingers? Would it buy me eight more hours away from the ringing in my ears? The frequency of fantasy/oh so violent in their nature I want to make the ocean calmer and dive headfirst off the pier. And She said to "hold fast" We're out here...out in the wilderness. With just out hearts and our wits. Wonder who gives a shit. Lookin' for true north with a drunken compass. Nobody's perfect.

Driving Sawkill
Walking Bombs
driving sawkill wrestling with lost memories thrilled to be sensing the dead earth thawing out around me millions of spectres reaching up w stretching hands like the pale branches of trees like the stale topics at hand and oh my aching head all these thoughts colliding wondering if my days would have been better spent deciding not to beat my head against the wall again. a field of dead soldiers. a field of refreshments. when will you learn. i'm dog fucking tired. with miles to go before we sleep. when will you learn. oh my everything.

Snowglobe
Walking Bombs
they want to put her in a snow globe and stare at her naked body/but she's staring back now with eyes of fire/she's melting the glass/she'll burn them alive...

The debut Walking Bombs album turns 10 years old in October of 2025 and was never mastered until now. I figured I should fix that. Hope you’ll enjoy it. It is the most distilled essence of the project…the initial steps that made me brave enough to “go solo”. The two songs with the I Multiply kids are literally the first tunes I wrote for this project.

Recorded hot on the heels of the passing of my father amidst a very emotional time in Saugerties, NY… back when I showed my Beatles and Nirvana influences a lil more. The title track is still by far one of my favorite songs to play live, when I ever actually play live anymore (USX fans will want to check out Nate Hall’s absolutely scorching guest solo).

Cover photo is my kid sister Cambria and I jumping off our old house porch from where we grew up as kids in Shokan, NY.
