The Gardener 04:27
lyrics
buy track
That look in your eyes Petrifies me The radiant smile Couldn’t do a damn thing Are you the same? One might say you’ve changed An absence of guilt Is leading your course You’re offering pity Devoid of remorse Well don’t delay I know you’ve got a lot of ground to break I’d fight for your time Your clock is just slightly off from mine It’s hard to hear You’re getting old Compete and sow seeds If you wanted a garden Don’t bury the weeds You’re finding diamonds And I’m seeing mold Running from truth Recycling your lies You can’t be a victim And an offender at the same time Will you be asked To remove that awful mask (Chorus) So you’re obeying your own rules To show your etiquette to all the fools How could they resist you What a way to finally get you down (Chorus)

The Narcissist 03:50
lyrics
buy track
You’re hugging your pillow Reviewing the chaos in your dreams You woke up or did you Give in to a thirst for the morning All of the records show You’re living in somebody’s old days You might as well hold your nose If you don’t like how the mold tastes Go on and feast Sink your teeth into that splendor Say your grace while we all thank you for surrender You know it’s rude to look at mirrors at the table Better stop if you’re able Better stop if you’re able You’re feeling some pressure You’re noticing trap doors at your feet Wouldn’t it be a gesture If you willingly dove in for safety All of these friends you own They’re clearing their desks of your letters Will they remain loyal drones When you call them to loosen your fetters (Chorus) Nothing to hold on to Better step down, better step down Who is gonna catch you Figure it out, figure it out Forgive me if I lack surprise (Chorus)

Semantics 04:01
lyrics
buy track
Hold onto your words with those Calloused hands of yours 'Cause if you let go they won't be heard By all those eager ears When you rely on a hastened reply Fallacies are assured And often we miss what there is to learn A message spoken lost in space Our syllables broken dissipate But while a voice begins to fade A song still plays For lack of a better word Why would I choose to say a thing When I can just play the same An obsession with semantics is to blame We give into an enticing sin that Knock knocks a rhythm at all of our doors It opens our minds rather than our hearts And now we're letting all the cold inside We settle beneath unhumble beliefs As we embark the search for more No need to explain before the music starts Leave your words on the outside I wouldn't care, I wouldn't care What the letters make 'Cause there is strength in what you say Don't give into your own light You shouldn't care, you shouldn't care What honesty takes Leave the answers where they lay For lack of a better word Why would I choose to say a thing When I can just play the same I'm sorry there wasn't a better refrain But an obsession with semantics is to blame

Logistics 04:12
lyrics
buy track
I’m fond of my expressions lacking Pharmaceuticals and questions But my mind won’t seem to ease And I can’t speak to your reason You’re caught up in all the things that she did You’re driving while she’s searching for the keys And I don’t owe you I don’t owe no one I don’t have to speak And say what I don’t mean Maybe it’s time to look into your mind And erase the hate to which you prescribe You only abide by friendly advice it seems I don’t want to wait another decade To think about what I should see When you look back at me Your shadow fits you nicely A pleasant place to look when lights are blinding But when you stand still it’s just staining the concrete I can’t place your logistics You talk as if you might have finally fixed this I’ll allow you to engage in your hyperbole (Chorus) Familiar emotions Inviting me to stay But the roads that I rely on are eroding away Empowered by our grievances Our demons remain At least for one more decade ...I say what I don’t mean (Chorus)

Warmer In The Rain 03:25
lyrics
buy track
Once there was a girl who woke up And she spoke of dreams of rain She couldn't remember if the clouds ever did part again She wore her disguise and hid her green eyes Neath a bouquet of purple and blues She shivered at the thought of somebody learning her truth Moving mouths and blackened clouds Engulfed her every day And only when she cried the winds would break Calming down meant leaving town Find a corner that felt safe She only could feel warmer in the rain Then one autumn evening she looked up Feeling shook up by the trees A beauty so finite would soon just depart with it's leaves She bumped into a man said he knew her But she couldn't be sure where from She fled the conversation in fear of what it might become Moving mouths and blackened clouds Engulfed her every day And only when she cried the winds would break Calming down meant leaving town Find a corner that felt safe She only could feel warmer in the rain Crawling through these moments In silence I'd prevail Hoping that they'll listen for once Listen to what actions tell Moving mouths and blackened clouds Engulfed her every day And only when she cried the winds would break Calming down meant leaving town Find a corner that felt safe She only could feel warmer in the rain

Ready 03:42
lyrics

Pain pt.2... Ready is written about the hardships of being an artist and the sometimes crippling self-doubt many of us must overcome to pursue our craft. The lyrics are very real to me and I hope the song speaks to you too!

Iron Wings 04:09
lyrics
buy track
In another world You never walked away Like living in a dream You were always there Night and day both stayed the same In my design But you could light up any landscape When you tried Exchanging all our secrets While we bask in sleep With only barriers of silk between us Blushing spirits, wild and weary Stopped in time All entangled in the fabric of desire In another life You sang a song to me Yet here I’m confined To a cold reality Unfolds from what we see And I've chosen not to sink But to fly with iron wings In someone else's story You might have adored me Emancipated by the love You rent for free But you knew that you'd wind up alone Wishing I would be shown to another girl Well how naive to think I'd ever leave that world (Chorus) I turn on the lights So I can watch you leave And you will find me soaring Further from your reach I hope you don’t mind Being stranded underneath As you will watch me soaring Higher with these wings (Chorus)

Tethered 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Do you remember that secret place? A riverbed where beauty laid And with those crystal eyes you persuaded me To drown within your gaze And then we tumbled into our lives Tormented and chastised It was often I’d recall your smile Taking refuge in my mind We sneak out our rooms just to see the moon It’s much better with the windows open Tried to walk slowly, so afraid to proceed If not today than we’ll know when We’re young We’re still young The worlds turning and we’re Tethered in a moment in love I’m in love Let’s stay here, forever Tethered in a moment of love Do you remember when we were told All that is good will remain gold Well I still see now that you’re older That brilliant gleam within your soul Now I’m being told to be a man Juggle obligation with demand But my arms fail to support these plans when neither gets to hold your hand We sneak out our rooms just to see the moon It’s much better with the windows open Tried to walk slowly, so afraid to proceed If not today than we’ll know when We’re young We’re still young There went another moment If we will it so, time will back down Preserve what we had, what we found What we found We sneak out our rooms just to see the moon It’s much better with the windows open Tried to walk slowly, so afraid to proceed If not today than we’ll know when We’re young We’re still young The worlds turning and we’re Tethered in a moment in love I’m in love Let’s stay here, forever Tethered in a moment of love
