Hatred and emotion, won't take it all away These tidings of emotions, you know they're here to stay But I don't have the words to say to you I'm hiding in my solitude From you From you Don't want to say goodbye x8 And I don't have the words to say to you I'm hiding in my solitude From you From you And I don't want to live this life alone But I can't help to feel I'm far from home

What I Fear 02:16
I Don't know what, I fear I won't let satan, steal my tears And you don't know what I'm like, Finding the joy, in the strife So take it from here, what I fear I don't fear the end, More what happens from now thill then And I don't know what, I'd like So show me the patch for my life So take it from here, what I fear What's here today will fade away So take it from here, what I fear What's here today must pass away

When it hurts to remember, but I don't want to forget I'll always cherish those days, I couldn't wait till December Elora now you're gone, i'll miss you forever Now that you have gone and I'm still here You're like a precious gift I gave to your mother Elora now you're gone, you'll always be a ray of sunshine Memories that bring us pain, forget them all, forget them all I'll always cherish those days, I couldn't wait till December Elora now you're gone, i'll miss you forever Now that you have gone and I'm still here I am left to wonder, just who would you become Elora now you're gone, you'll always be my ray of sunshine Ahh ahhh My ray of sunshine

Curses 03:46
You curse the ground, now I spend my days alone You cures the gounnd, spend my days in agony You sharpened the pain, now that's all for you and me Dust to dust all around, how could love ever be found If it's not good to be alone give me peace, give me a home I learned my lesson, I just want to be left alone Do you hate, do you hate me now? x4 If you are love if you are light, all I feel is evil You turn your back, turned your back on me now I'm just looking, for the answer I'm just looking, for an answer

If you truly knew me, you wouldn't be talking to me Clutch your sinners close, I know what they've been Immoral, un-sacred views, are vile and deeply skewed And I I can't believe what it would take, And then what difference would it make I'm still the same as, I've always been You'd share my darkness You'd take it all in stride You'd listen every night But I'll never find you ... I can't believe what it would take, And then what difference would it make I'm still the same man, that I've always been You'd share my darkness You'd take it all in stride You'd listen every night But I'll never find you Can't you see, How much you'd like, For me to tell you this tonight

Respite 05:57
Think I need a respite I'm tired of sleepless nights I have gone to hide Stain glass mysteries of old, crashing through my mind. Think I need a respite Tired of sleepless nights I have gone to hide Stain glass mysteries of old, come crashing through my mind

about

This album is a collection of selected works written primarily from 2019 to 2023. A lot has changed for me since 2018 when I put out my debut EP. I'm sure I don't have to explain to you all why this decade has been wild for us all, but the last few years have been time of incredible change, joy, growth and hardships. Hopefully you can hear that in the songs,

All created in my home with my hybrid digital/analog synthesizer studio. Picked up a guitar since last time.
