@windfall-267994103: Great song! Thanks for sharing

Adam, I'm just now listening to your work and I gotta ask. Will you create a christmas song one year? Your voice is too stunning to go unnoticed.

Here is my debut album in its entirety!

Past The Hypothetical


I'm no angel, I have a history
Of acting on impulses of jealousy
I said some things that I know will haunt me to the grave
But there's nothing to do about a lit fuse except look back and wave...

Waiting at a stop sign, I can't relax
I've never been more cautious, she's like walking on glass
This girl is giving me a taste of my old self
I've been made the fool playing under her rules, and now I'm going on the shelf

Other end of the switch
She's cutting the lights and I can't see anything
Heading straight for the ditch
She set the hook and I'm tied up
Divide up what's left of our shares
She's getting them all cause I gave her everything
There's no way to repair a heart that's stolen away

Walk through the sequence and check the time-logs
There's gotta be a punch out when she turned off
Hiding in the fine print is a silver lining
She's taking me in, trading all of my sins, my bad karma's released

Other end of the switch
She's cutting the lights and I can't see anything
Heading straight for the ditch
She set the hook and I'm tied up
Divide up what's left of our shares
She's getting them all cause I gave her everything
There's no way to repair a heart that's MIA
A heart that's stolen away...

Other End


Woke up in sweat
My body's way of making sure that I can't forget
The dream is the same
You're always gone when I call your name

The world was afire
We were young and getting high on desire
No, but you didn't stay
And I'm still trying to recalibrate

It ended with me and what I believed
Was hiding underneath the surfaces of relief
You offered me peace, I gathered for war
I didn't even know what I was fighting for
I was looking for clues that didn't exist
A superficial smile, a hesitated kiss
I had it all wrong, and you made it right
You showed me the truth in what I lost that night

Play it again
That's the melody we lived in when we were friends
Four minutes of you
It always ends before I want it to

Savor the sky
This shade of blue could take me back to July
Summer was so long ago
Now I'm drowning in April snow

It ended with me and what I believed
Was hiding underneath the surfaces of relief
You offered me peace, I gathered for war
I didn't even know what I was fighting for
I was looking for clues that didn't exist
A superficial smile, a hesitated kiss
I had it all wrong, and you made it right
You showed me the truth in what I lost that night

It ended with me and what I believed
Was hiding underneath the surfaces of relief
You offered me peace, I gathered for war
I didn't even know what I was fighting for

Let's not dwell on this; mistakes happen, let's move on
We shouldn't take tallies. They proved that system wrong
If you wash your hands, use my dirty water
We can come clean and we should do it together
We've got stories, roller coaster stories
And we can make this moment a tale of conquered seas
Cause I would cross an ocean of all our worst emotions
To never lose the feeling your smile gives me

We're standing on a solid base
This house just needs a coat of paint
Attention falls on tainted walls
If we can't look away, we'll lose it all

Conversation crash, never mind, that came out wrong, don't listen to me
Let me rephrase the way I sing your song
Everything to lose, I won't take you for granted
Why say it plainly over something romantic
We've got mem'ries, disenchanted mem'ries
But we can overwhelm them with time we frame today
And give us new perspective for when we feel reflective
We can't be naive but we can meet halfway

We're standing on a solid base
This house just needs a coat of paint
Attention falls on tainted walls
If we can't look away, we'll lose it all

All we know is what we choose to see
And all we are is whom we choose to be

We're standing on a solid base
This house just needs a coat of paint
Attention falls on tainted walls
If we can't look away, we've already lost it all



Coat Of Paint


If there's anything that you want me to do for you, tell me now
I wanna get a head start. I've cleaned myself up, turned myself around
You make it easy to being glad. You are the love I've never had

I love it when you laugh at me. I'd make myself look a fool to make you smile
Your love is like ecstasy. I'm digging your details, I love your style
You make it easy to believe that you and I are meant to be

So many things that I've said are simply not what I meant
So put this on the record: You make me who I want to be
You make the best person out of me
You make it easy

You brighten up my Mondays. They don't feel like they're the end of my life
I love our sweet goodbyes, with none of that stupid, "say you love me twice!"
You make it easy to forget all of my closely held regrets
All of my, all of my, all of my...

So many things that I've said are simply not what I meant
So put this on the record: You make me who I want to be
You make the best person out of me
You make it easy
The best person out of me
You make it easy
The best person out of me, yeah

Who I am now is not who I was then
I'm moving on to much better things
If you'd ever known me you'd walk right past me
But while my heart is healing stay close to me

So many things that I've said are simply not what I meant
So put this on the record: You make me who I want to be
You make the best person out of me
You make it easy


You Make It Easy


15 minutes gone, lost myself again
I'm thinking negatives, forgetting all my friends
Scared of where I'm going, hating where I've been
Wishing I could be in someone else's skin

Dreams are going great but then I spring awake
If I can leave my room, I might make it through the day
I need a new routine, I need something to say
I need to show myself an unfamiliar face

It's hard to train a train of thought that goes to places you don't wanna see again
Too many things to criticize. Somebody let me know I'm overthinking
It's hard to find some peace of mind when you're at war with who you are and who you've been
I've run it through a million times. I'm too convinced I'm not just overthinking

"Don't you ever change" is too common a phrase
That friends and family give out without delay
I need to shift my sails, face the other way
I'm tired of living life like its a losing game

Maybe I need a drive under the moon all alone
Maybe I'll clear my head all the way 'til I get home
But when the sun peaks through I know what he will say,
"You shouldn't let the stars steal away your days"

It's hard to train a train of thought that goes to places you don't wanna see again
Too many things to criticize. Somebody let me know I'm overthinking
It's hard to find some peace of mind when you're at war with who you are and who you've been
Cause I've run it through a million times. I'm so convinced I'm not just overthinking

No, I'm not just overthinking...

It's hard to train a train of thought
Too many things to criticize
It's hard to find some peace of mind
I've run it through a million times



Overthinking


So young, soft tongue
Who knows what she's gonna do
Bu there's cake and she wastes
No time at all to tell you
She'll be sweeter than mom
And much stronger than daddy
But there's one big wish
She saves every year for the fire
They know her desires
Her wishes come true
She believes that they do

Wish (Intro)

Second song off the new album, Peripheries. Had fun with the chaos on this one.

Like Transfer Orbit, I made most of this one by layering sequences from the LXR-02 (sequenced by the Oxi One) recording as I was tweaking it. It has a great internal distortion, and I also ran it through the Soma Lyra's distortion.

Hope you dig it!

Full album out June 20th.

Scramble to the Bottom

This Time with Feeling is the sister album to my upcoming album Peripheries. While Peripheries is an aggressive journey into the outer reaches, TTWF is about being present and peaceful in the here and now. I hope you enjoy and can listen in full as much as possible.
