All things in moderation 03:42

Ah, I'm in the middle of it now, And I don't want to get out. This time, I'm gonna have to say goodbye, Cause I don't want to get out. This train is run away and I can't Find the mechanism to stop it Machinery everywhere and I can't I can't find the button you push to stop I'm shooting off into space and There's no chance of finding an escape but I see the planets getting closer And I'm loving the momentum so...

Delay Cycle 03:00

In just another second I'll turn around In just another minute I'll stop following the crowd In just another hour I'll hit the ground In just another day I'll let morals in I'll wake up really knowing like a kick in the shin I'll wake up in the morning and start again I'm in a trap, I am surrounded And I can't get out I can't get out Will you bail me out Will you bail me out I am surrounded I do what I want, but I don't want what I do I'll never admit it but I'm hiding from you Clean me, can you make me new? I'm in a trap, I am surrounded And I can't get out I can't get out Will you bail me out Will you bail me out I am surrounded

Let go on three 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Like gears interlocked And turning Is your life locked to mine And I know I'm left stranded If you go I'll be slowing all the time But I have to take apart this machine of shining poetry And start the design somewhere else, slowly, gently Should I brace myself Against your wall Or straighten for the fall? I want to stay But I know Foundations fade away I will keep on Drawing pictures Of places that I go And whether or not You'll be in them Only God can know

Praesidio 02:40
lyrics
buy track
I woke, and saw for the first time A picture printed on my eyes A figure, glowing brightest white Its eyes warm but dispassionate It said “I am Praesidio, And I created you.” I grew And nights merged into days All the time I felt its gaze. It told me That if I would just believe I would be given everything. It said “I am Praesidio, And I created you.” You know, I never knew that Love Could so quickly drain Away, and what I needed Was the gift of space But pressure built and When I had found my voice At the end I didn’t have a choice I went And followed close behind In its chains it trapped my mind It wasn't right, it wasn't wrong It was self preservation all along

Used up 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Yesterday I saw the start Of your smile Yesterday the truest part In a long long while But then a stab of pain The memories came Hold your breath, freeze the heart And try again And now that I can breathe The wide open spaces reach The wind blows away the leaves And I'm scattered with breeze The knot tightens in my chest At your request Traveling parallel We never rest You've got the grief and me My distractions work slowly Then you take a different street And I'm empty and free

about

I'm still learning about mixing, writing for performance, singing, and communicating, but this is the result of that knowledge so far and a group of songs lovingly selected for you, dear listeners. Enjoy, and don't forget to push the plus button until the volume doesn't get any louder!
