Dead Original

Dead Original is the new hard rock trio w/ grunge undertones from Chicago, IL started by Paul Wandtke whom got his start in the music industry as a work for hire drummer over the years drumming for such acts as Trivium, Kill Hannah and even the hit musical Rock of Ages. Feeling inspired to pick up a guitar after always feeling like something was missing in life, he now fronts Dead Original with Benny “Boomba” Piazza on drums and Mike Petrasek (Bedlem) on bass. Dead Original is a blend of grunge, groove power, simple riffs, melodic hooks and some progressive elements via some tastefully placed odd meters. Their motto and creed is #grungelives #makerockgreatagain #makegrungegreatagain

Produced by Dead Original

V1

I’m under the bridge and screaming, I’m cold

I can’t feel my lips they’re bleeding, I’m broke

PCH1:

Waiting for, nothing

Ch 1:

and I’ll wait for them to

Change the world

While we wait for them to

disease the world

Verse 2:

I’m playing the hand life’s dealing, I’ve lost control

These feelings keep on feeding, my lost soul

PC2: waiting for, nothing x2

Ch 2:

and I’ll wait for them to

Change the world

While we wait for them to

disease the world

and I’ll wait for them to

Change the world

while we all just watch them, Rape the world

Bridge:

I’m making plans to leave now, to make amends at home

The world is superseding my only chance of hope

But it’s up to me

To make the best of this

It’s up to me

I’m letting go, finding hope I know, by letting go x2

I’m letting go X2

We’re BOUGHT AND SOLD x2

Ch 3

and I’ll wait for them to

Change the world

While we wait for them to

disease the world

and I’ll wait for them to

Change the world

while we all just watch them, Rape the world

Restrained

Mixed by syftspoductions & Stem Mastered by Nick Nativo The Nook Recording Studio

V1:

Take, take your medicine go to sleep again cold

Try to find your place, never ever grow old

CH1:

But I feel restrained

And I can’t complain

V2:

Blood like water, barely holding together

Sober shoulders, getting colder (worried)

We are the air that we all breathe

We all pretend what we all see

CH2:

And I can’t complain

But I feel restrained

Just take your medicine x 2

CH3:

And I can’t complain

But I feel Restrained

Hard to SEE

Hard to See

Stem Mixed Nick Nativo The Nook Recording Studio

V1

I’ve been wasting

Thoughts on nothing

Mind is worried,

on something unknowing

PC1

I confess, I’ll live tomorrow

Born into this life of sorrow

Ch1, 2, 3

It’s so hard to see the light

When your falling down confined

It’s so hard to see the light

When you waste away your life

V2

Open your eyes

What do you see?

Are you still here? Waiting like me?

Pc2

Don’t wait to fix tomorrow

The time is now, because it is borrowed

Ch3

It’s so hard to see the light

When your falling down confined

Open your eyes

Stay alive tonite

I can’t see what your doing to me x 4

It’s so hard to see, when it’s make believe x2

Fade to Light

Fade to Light

Mixed and mastered Chuck Macak Electrowerks Recording

V1:

I’ve been trying to figure out,

where we go when we fade out

I’ve been trying to stand my ground, even though I’m filled

with doubt

PC1: I stand my ground but I’m filled with doubt

CH 1/2/3

Crash, Burn, Die

Fade to Light

Crash, Burn, Die

But we don’t know why

V2: What’s the point of doing this now? The Sky is close and dimming out

Cherry Blossoms are falling down, I can’t believe I’m fading out

PC2: I stand my ground but I’m filled with doubt

CH 2 and 3

Crash, Burn, Die

Fade to Light

Crash, Burn, Die

But we don’t know why
