Formula for Starting Over:

This is how it begins
My formula for starting over
My blueprint to reinvent myself again
I try to fit in
Though I'm not much of a Casanova
Sometimes I color outside the lines where you might not expect
We try to be friends
And hope we don't blow our cover
Why bring it up when it's easier to pretend?
This is how it begins
My formula for growing older
Take a moment to breathe
Before you dive back in

This is my formula for starting over
Formula for starting over

Tell me how have you been?
Wish I was better at conversation
I hide my frustration behind a fleeting smile
So you tell me when
Yeah, you tell me when we're okay again
Though I don't suppose that will be for quite awhile

This is my formula for starting over
Starting over now
Formula for starting over

I will admit
Sometimes I still get jealous
I shouldn't be possessive
I've struggled to let you go
This may be hard to hear
I really wish things were different
But I know we won't regret this down the road

Formula for starting over
Formula for starting over
Starting over now
This is my formula for starting over
Starting over now
Formula for starting over

This is how it begins
My formula for getting over
Our history, and everything we knew
Everything has an end
And even though we're short of closure
Starting over's all that's left to do

Formula for Starting Over

This is the intro song for my upcoming album, Napsütést a Polgárok Életébe! (Sunshine to the Lives of Citizens!), out in the summer.
The song is also available on YouTube and other music platforms.

Emlékszem mikor gyerek voltam én
A Moszkva téren néztem ahogy ragyog a város tetején
Most hosszú ködök után újra őt látom 
A szmoggal teli levegőben, egy utcát metsző sávon

És szinte hallom a gyárak hangját 
Füst száll fel a levegőben 
Kutyák ugatnak a panelből 
A szirénák zaján

Éjfél előtt kettő perccel
Az elso éjszakai Ikarus 
Ugyanolyan nehezen
A hegyre feltalál

A mozgólépcsőn lemenni még féltem
Ezért egy taxit hívott mama, hogy jöjjön értem
És mikor betértem, a hídon
A parlamenten fénylett
Akkor éreztem, hogy hívott
A barackkrémes égbe

Hozzád úgysem érek fel
Csak ódát zengek hajnalán
Milyen furcsa véletlen
Hogy bejossz a szobám ablakán
Ez a te rejtélyed és én
Ebbe úgysem szólhatok
És te mégis tudhatod
A városban hol lakok

Este hatkor a rádióban
Bemondja egy hang
Holnap fellegek érkeznek
Mire szól majd a harang

Az ablakban ültem 
Néztem hogy borul sötétbe minden
És én előre megmondtam 
Napfényben ritkán lehet hinnem
Most az eső is eleredt
És én nyitott ablakkal érzem
Az illatát, míg a villám lecsap 
Ezt kell tovább vinnem

Hozzád most sem értem fel
Zengett ódák hajnalán
Nincsen furcsa véletlen
Villám a szobám ablakán
A te rejtélyed és én
Ezzel külön tünemény
Vihar az utolsó estén
Mielőtt jönne a napfény


English:

Sunlight 

I remember when I was a kid
I watched Moscow Square shine on top of the city
Now, after the longing mist, I've seen him again
In the air full of smog, on a lane crossing a street

And still I can hear the sound of the plants
As smoke rises in the air
Dogs are barking from the panel
At the sound of sirens

Two minutes before midnight
The first overnight Ikarus
Gets closer, and just as hardly
He gets himself to the mountain

I was still afraid to go down the escalator back then
That's why Mama called a taxi to come for me
And when I got in, on the bridge
The Parliament shone
There I felt like he was calling me
To the peach cream sky

I can't reach you anyway
I'm just chanting ode at dawn
What a strange coincidence
You walked through my room window
This is your mystery and me
I can't talk about that anyway
And yet you can still know
Where I live in the city?

At six in the evening on the radio
It is announced by a voice
Clouds are coming tomorrow
What the bell will ring for

I was sitting by the window
I watched everything fall into the dark
And I told you in advance
I can rarely believe in sunlight
Now it was raining
And I feel it with the window open
The scent while lightning strikes
I have to take this further

I can't reach you now either
It resounded at the dawn of ode
There is no strange coincidence
Lightning through my room window
Your mystery and me
This is a special phenomenon
Storm comes on the last night
Before the sunlight arrives

Napfény.

Many thanks to Mephisto Waltz for letting me work with him and being such cool dudes.

Sweet C

A return to metal after the more shoegaze influenced Somniferum.

This track was initially much darker lyrically. But I found that I just couldn't continue writing such depressing lyrics. So it became more positive, rather than being a song entirely about darkness and struggle; it became one more about resiliance and strength. It became especially about the role my religion plays in my life.

I am also really happy with how the production turned out on this. I learnt a lot while making Somniferum and I hope it reflects in the song. Let me know what you think of the mixing and mastering.

As a general update, I actually still am working on that album I started back when Wither... dropped at the start of the year. I'd hoped to have had it done by now but my poor physical health over the last few months has made it incredibly difficult to maintain any sort of consistant working schedule. I've also decided to take a couple of weeks off from making music. In the last few months, I've released a mixtape and several singles, all entirely written, recorded and produced by me. While I absolutely love doing this, I think I need a short break mainly for my physical health. When I start back up, I'll be working on that album. Thank you for being patient. If you have any complaints, write a detailed letter adressed to the entire species of staphylococcus aureus, the world's supply seems to be currently concentrated in my lungs. 

Hope you enjoy!

90 night

cut off my hands
could you hear it from the stands?
I got the bends
a long time ago
how many more thoughts?
take 'em to the top.
even though I didn't go,
I still know you

I put you down (down)
(I'm alive)

did I miss the chance,
for some Marble Hands,
And that light in the distance,
shining off "Coming Soon"?

I put you down (down)
(I'm alive)

Put You Down

open up and swallow

Throwing my bit of copper into the heavily bronzed well of honey-inspired tunes. Been relatively busy with other's music, so it feels good to get *something* out, albeit the vocals being rushed, but that's just cuz I'm more of an instrumentalist. Whaddya gonna do, I've exercised my vocal writing muscle for this track and hopefully next track will be better, who knows, just glad to take sail ya know.

Written, performed, mixed, mastered by Empty Angels
Additional Keys (the fast ones especially) by Ian Clark

Lyrics:
I met her in my dreams, we'd been
Takin our time like it never ends
It kinda hurt to play my part
Knowin that I'll wake without her in my arms

My face melt like cake in a desert
I couldn't stand up
Took almost three days to recover
Is this love

She's so sweet
Honeycream

I met her in my dreams again
She had a cardinal primed at the hip
To set its perch upon my heart
You know that these branches aren't fallin apart

My face melt like cake in a desert
I couldn't stand up
Took almost three days to recover
Is this love

She's so sweet
Honeycream

Liquidated in a lake with you
Like an atom smasher we fuse
