There's a quiet sleepy forest that I roam in on my way to Isn't this how it always begins An exposition of the origin Maybe this beginning's gone too long Through a meadow or a river alive with magical features It's a story of our hopes and dreams Daring conflict and happy endings Couldn't we just skip right on to the end Take me Along with the memories Deliver me into a world where I'm meant to be Silence Be still please, my beating mind Bring me to a world where my spirit is free Take me Along with the memories To a place where the love of my life is awaiting Silence Be still please, my beating mind Bring me to a world where our spirits are free to be free Come with me through snow-capped mountains, desert islands and blue waters Expectations are the fantasy Your desires are within your reach This pained existence is a thing of the Take me Along with the memories Deliver me into a world where I'm meant to be Silence Be still please, my beating mind Bring me to a world where my spirit is free

Dream 03:09
She's a vibrant streak of starlight He's a ship sailing through the night She is scarlet full of life He is gold in a sea of pyrite As, I, first looked to your eyes how the sparks, fly, hand in hand into the dark, I, will see you again in my ... In my Dreams ... In my Dreams ... In our Dreams There is no chain that could hold me from running to Ocean so vast that I could not swim through to you Into the dark just us two She's the fire raging through me He's the wave crashing into me As, I, first looked to your eyes how the sparks, fly, hand in hand into the dark, I, will see you again in my ... In my Dreams ... In my Dreams ... In our Dreams There is no chain that could hold me from running to Ocean so vast that I could not swim through to you Into the dark just us two

Unrequited 05:09
Dreams are apocryphal visions Dreams to keep your mind deluded On euphoric expeditions that remain unattainable Nightmares are your clairvoyant voice Showing you inevitable Nightmares are the only thing that's real Dreams are apocryphal visions Showing ships sailing in starlight Nightmares are the voice of reason Showing you that dreams are not to be

Despair your last gasp has Aired And all that's left - is the Ghost of your high Lost in your mind Ever out of reach Give up and give into Fear will destroy you - grab your Spear and drive out - that Voice in your head Words left unsaid will not help you here Fight The battle for your Life And pray to - any God that will hear Break to the clear Choose which one to Kill

Tonight Stay with me tonight Hold me close and watch as the stars fly Away to another place and Time Fading to the dark So stay here and sing with me love songs Until the sun takes it all a- Last night on earth as we page through our memories Hoping the clock stops and hoping the sun will never Rise Stay with me here And watch as the world goes up in flames burning bright as the fire in our Hearts Running out of air So stay here and sing out of key with me Until the sun takes it all a- Last night on earth as we page through our memories Hoping the clock stops and hoping the sun will never Rise Stay with me tonight Hold me close and watch as the stars fly Away to another place and Time

There's a place and time where our stories end Somewhere between dreams and what we intend lesson to be learned that went unobserved Deep down in my mind crying to be heard Singing Words are our escape Teaching us to love and hate Bringing all our dreams to life Even if just for one night So far away and so long ago I brought that dream right to its end And for all that the beauty and ecstasy brought me I could only so long pretend Dreams are visions of paradise A guide for our lives to become But losing yourself in those dreams will remind you just what you have been running from Silently place your hand on the edge against mine one last time you go back to your world and I'll go back to mine So far away and so long ago I brought that dream right to its end And for all that the beauty and ecstasy brought me I could only so long pretend Dreams are visions of paradise A guide for our lives to become But losing yourself in those dreams will remind you just what you have been running from Silently place your hand on the edge against mine one last time you go back to your world and I'll go back to mine

about

A slightly conceptual album detailing one person's attempt to find the love seemingly only captured in stories and songs.

This demo release is a product of several months of writing and recording by myself, with a Yamaha practice amp, amateur mixing experience, and a mic borrowed from a friend and a voice from another.
