A Magical Place 03:53
lyrics
a magical place to focus the soul  a magical place anything’s possible whatever you need  whatever you make, believe a magical place the focus is free a magical place anything we see anything is possible Whatever you want  whatever you need You can make - but you have to Believe This beautiful place  I used to know welcome me home welcome me home This beautiful place we all used to know with open arms it welcomes you home Make & Believe & believe & believe  We all know what to expect  We just don’t know how to react A magical Place to focus the soul a magical place we always can know a magical place anything’s possible whatever you want  whatever you need whatever you need from the cold anything is possible

Sparks 04:41
lyrics
I see you everywhere I love your face your hair  I don’t know what it is why we crossed paths here I feel like I’ve seen you before You caught my eye  as soon as you met the door I hit the floor I just felt a spark across my heart maybe it’s a memory  maybe it’s a future thing maybe I just like your vibe We appear in the strangest places I could be anywhere They say that people move in circles and those intersect somewhere like gears I just felt a spark across my heart maybe this was meant to be maybe it’s just what I need maybe it’s just small talk  I take this breath and let it begin  let the laugh reign, let the laughter reign now we can share the name let the laughter rain sparks fly across the sky jump my heart with a start I don’t know why sparks fly across the sky  I know why we spark !

Here on the Ground 03:19
lyrics
Well I guess I saw it coming I was too late to breathe oblivion Too much faith in one man So much hope in our hands kaleidoscope from your clouds Im looking up your looking down I’m here on the ground I always meet the beast in this defeat I’m riding on doubt Well I always saw it coming When you’re so far down kaleidoscope from your clouds Im looking up your looking down I’m here on the ground So I get into position gonna find a mission gonna find the answers going to find myself going through the list of every inquisition everything that was everything you are floating on the clouds floating on the clouds oh im here on the ground floating on the clouds floating on the clouds i found my ground i found my ground i found my ground on your cloud

The Color of Tears 03:08
lyrics
the color of tears the color of fear the color of love a color we share The water is clear flowing free After the tears we see we can rebuild anything we need Let go everything we know After the tears clouds clear and we see more than we ever did before the color of tears the color of fear the color of love a color of fear the color of tears Wash it out of me Please wash these old ways out of you Old hate old weight gone stale Can a man ever know what it’s like to Come undone the insides dropping down so hard we hit the ground to know the lowest place and restart the color of tears the color of fear the color of love a color of fear the color we share the color of tears nothing to fear nothing to fear nothing to fear

The World Stopped Spinning (twss2) 00:42
lyrics
I felt a comfort in your eyes that blew away the skies arms like oceans A journey to your mind standing here would you say we are wasting time losing focus I didn’t look until there was nothing left to begin if whatever could be cant was & is always here The way to the ocean its filled up We’ll make room forgive Sobbing and sulking there’s always a way to feel safe Sitting where I was 10 years ago life was a different picture show we make it up as we go all the ways to know I was ok, i was no dungeons no judging no fun no fun The way to the ocean its filling up Make room forgive older and told her That's something you never do  You choose and you race for appreciation soars But nobody was here to begin with in June I know it’s nothing if we don’t try So why do all the mice pick the cocaine we’re choking on Everyday heroes deceived by the same old jokers and morons pathetic no wonder We show up ready for combat just need a little action just need some reaction Teach them to refocus their worlds their “un-holies” But nothing could be the same anyway The weight of the ocean It's filling up  I forgive It’s nothing like memories So I let go and I swim in

The Dream Pool 03:13
lyrics
You don't know the words but they know you You don't make the sound it speaks through you You don't need to touch it to know it's real I learned from you I learned from you there is grace in how we move through the truth to the dream pool The Dream Pool sleep sleep sleep I’ve got you I’ve got you through the window you're ok see just dream just dream You don't know the words but they know you You don't make the sound it speaks through you You don't need to touch to make me feel you in the dream pool

Blurry Head 04:38
lyrics
Get out of my head this voice this ghost this silhouette taunting and doubting poking and prodding trying to connect what makes no sense or perfect sense well it’s getting all blurry if i could just catch it out of the corner of my eye another layer another layer of my mind seeping out in song oh music music to my ears sometimes my own voice is almost clear it's getting all blurry if i could just catch it out of the corner of my eye it’s the crazy thoughts and feeling lost and feeling hot and drive all around to get lost and find a new way home the great adventure the great adventure after all I get so scared it really means nothing at all it’s getting all blurry if i look directly at this love will my eyes burn oh it burns oh it always will burn

Smoke Screens 05:52
lyrics
The future is the truth no keeping it from you no keeping it from you The future is the proof no keeping it from you no keeping it from you Smoke screens just out of reach from your hand I fall behind you look back military crowding in There are no more Buildings. No more Walls Only Dust swelling Create veils Thick Enough to Distance us Smoke Screens Just out of Reach from your Hand I Fall Behind you Look Back, Military crowding in The roads a memory of the path. The past is forward now There’s nothing to hold on to after everything we've said it's just an old excuse...cause we always knew we always knew we always knew - The future was the proof  After the Dirt Settles We Let go of all that Held ours We Return with something Bigger than Ourselves We are the Keepers of the Spark its Running all Through us all We don’t Need the Proof We are More than Truth  After Everything we've said, it's just a Damn Excuse We always Knew There is no Absolute …A Memory we Let Go There are Keepers of the Spark We Keep it in the Dark We Keep it Safe & Sound We Keep it and Now after Everything we've said it’s just an old Excuse because we always knew after everything we’ve said….. Smoke screens Keeping us apart keeping me from You You're just out of Reach . Smoke Screen. The future is the truth, no Keeping it from you, No Keeping it from you… We Are the Keepers of the Spark It’s Running through us all We don’t need the Proof. We are More than Truth After Everything we’ve said It’s just a damn excuse We always knew the Future was the Proof

A Light in the Distance 05:52
lyrics
There's a light in the distance  it seems to be inside you can hold it in your mind just in the distance it seems to be just outside your body keeping you in line It's not where your going it's your zenith always knowing It's time to go outside Sing to the moon  Sing to the sky Sing to the stars  Let them know you’re alive why you survive Why you cry  There's a light in the distance  you can hold it inside your mind Seems to be just outside in the distance In the distance it’s not where you’re going it’s your zenith always knowing it’s time to go outside Sing to the moon  Sing to the sky Sing to the stars  Let them know you’re alive Sing to the night Sing to the sky let them know why you cry let them know you survive let them know why you cry let them know why you oh There's a light in the distance  you can hold it inside your mind

about

Recorded in an attic completely alone with thoughts and reflection, wisdom & intention, over the course of a week, the songs on this album were recorded in one-take for the purpose of capturing the moments as they existed in time. If you listen closely you hear the nuance of a recording space, of the breath as it hesitates, and becomes determined again to the commitment of surrendering ... to" unlearn what I was, to become what I am " There is a Light in Distance. You Can Hold it inside Your Mind.
