Composed this exactly one year ago and I decided to finally post this as well as add it as the concluding track to another thing a did.

Soul (Instrumental)

Released this (technically) yesterday.

Outside Of The Fever Dream

Lyrics:
I got a ticket to the heavens.
This fever dream’s got to end soon.
I know that time can never go back.
This fever dream’s got to end soon.

Get on the plane, it’s time to go.
Forget your name, no desire to know.
I’ll leave it all behind once I’ve awoken
from a nightmare to a coma.
Say your goodbyes, close the door.
Embrace the skies, below it no more.
The world has let me down, so let me up.
Shellshock in the warcry of the angels.

Why can’t the world become normal again?
I’m sick of the fever dream.
Don’t lose my mind waiting for it to end.
Snap out of the fever dream.
Because
I got a ticket to the heavens.
This fever dream’s got to end soon.
I know that time can never go back.
This fever dream’s got to end soon.

Sometimes I got nothing to say.
It’s like we’re all becoming insane.
Sometimes I think ignoring it is better.
Sometimes I can go on forever.
Did I pass away unable to tell?
Is this purgatory, heaven or hell?
Sleep paralysis locked me out of my life.
I don’t belong in this timeline.

Why can’t the world become normal again?
I’m sick of the fever dream.
Don’t lose my mind waiting for it to end.
Snap out of the fever dream.
Because
I got a ticket to the heavens.
This fever dream’s got to end soon.
I know that time can never go back.
This fever dream’s got to end soon.

Every decade is the same old story now.
Of the decadence of fame and the glory now.
Desperation to remember how it was before.
It’s just a fraction of the long term.
Like thunder clapping in applause.
To the lightning acting as the cause.
Our soul has been gradually falling within.
Can’t notice till after our calling begins.

It’s just worse than it’s ever been.
Wake Up.
Wake Up.
Wake Up.

I'm usually not thrilled about my singing but it's important that I take the risk of being rejected as an artist.

This Fever Dream

A quick loop I composed on June 1st as a connector track between:
https://soundcloud.com/alexvylen/outside-of-the-fever-dream
and
https://soundcloud.com/alexvylen/this-fever-dream
Which technically completes this as a three-piece suite, if that would be the proper name for it.

Enter The Fever Dream (Loop)

A song I composed, wrote and sang in September of last year but then finished doing the best I can at mixing and mastering it just now. I hope to get all these older projects out and published first before working on my newer projects.

Lyrics:
Tossing and turning. (x4) 
Every night I’m tossing and turning. (x2) 
I can’t pretend that it’s over.
Too addicted to being sober.
Reminiscence now is soaking up my eyes.
Like distant clouds floating in the skies.
Bad blood was going down and out, but water made it thin.
No bones about it now, it’s gone with the wind.
It’s rainwater under the bridge.
And I can smell the scent of the rains in the air, after the thunderstorm, heaaah, after the thunderstorm.
Tossing and turning. (x4) 
I can’t remember what it was like before.
Drops are coating everything that’s outside the door.
But now I have another way to go.
I’m bound to never have to lay low.
I’m scared to discover what’s next for me.
Cause I remember how the thunder affected me.
The lightning’s so electrifying.
And I can smell the scent of the rains in the air, after the thunderstorm, heaaah, after the thunderstorm.

After The Thunderstorm

Originally from December 2020. This color reminds me of this kind of sound in a track and this kind of sound in a track reminds me of this color.

Indigo Violet Vibe

Lyrics:

Like VHS at night.
Up till the morning light.
Sound familiar?
Found it peculiar.
Must be nowstalgia.

That song I heard before.
A thousand times or more.
Sound familiar?
Found it peculiar.
Must be nowstalgia.

Re-resurrecting the past.
We never guessed it won’t last.
Sound familiar?
Found it peculiar.
Must be nowstalgia.

Throwbacks now a main event.
I know that’s not the same intent.
Sound familiar?
Found it peculiar.
Must be nowstalgia.

Pay homage like it’s rent.
How days constantly are spent.
Yeah sound familiar?
Found it peculiar.
Must be nowstalgia.

Days I was not extant to see.
My present day identity.
Sound familiar?
Found it peculiar.
Must be nowstalgia.

Ask me why I sorely miss it.
Age was just a single digit.
Sound familiar?
Found it peculiar.
Must be nowstalgia.

Remember this? Remember that?
Today you exist but we’re bringing it back.
Sound familiar?
Found it peculiar.
Must be nowstalgia.

No conscience in you no pain.
No contribution no gain.
Sound familiar?
Found it peculiar.
Must be nowstalgia.

No inspiration to miss.
No ignorance no bliss.
Yeah sound familiar?
Found it peculiar.
Must be nowstalgia.

And now the world is raging on.
The problems like to stay along.
Sound familiar?
Found it peculiar.
Must be nowstalgia.

Repetition till the next day.
Repetition over decades.
Sound familiar?
Found it peculiar.
Must be nowstalgia.

Reassert forgotten idols.
We deserve a prophet/profit, I know, but
We desert our prophets/profits idle.
Must be nowstalgia.

I swear it’s gotta be.
I swear it’s gotta be that.
I swear it’s gotta be.
Must be nowstalgia.

Nowstalgia

From July 2021, a year ago. 

Lyrics:
I swear that I’m not lonely.
Don’t care that you don’t know me.
I am my friend you won’t be.
Feelin’ left out but I’m not lonely.
Have fun without me.
And I’m glad, you never found me.
You and your friends could help me, but we’ve never met.
(I have)
So much to say.
But I’m not here to stay.
Because nobody up there acknowledges me when I did my best.
I swear that I’m not lonely.
Don’t care that you don’t know me.
I am my friend you won’t be.
Feelin’ left out but I’m not lonely.
Nobody knows my history.
Nobody paid attention.
Of course I can’t build a castle like you.
While you’re all joining hands, I have only two.
None of you know me, I’m here but you don’t see.
Myself and me only, I swear
The future’s too
Unpredictable
Something’s missing you’ll
Come to miss it like they took it away.
It don’t belong to you, but you’ll stutter to them.
Like you’re longing for the middle of the summer again.
Come to think of it,
Nothing rings a bit
Of a singular bell about it in my memory. Is it dead to me?
Oooooh it’s a little late for you to understand.
Oooooh it’s a little late for me to take your hand.
Aftermath of Actium.
Solitude is back again.
Can’t sound professional but no one controls me.
I’m ruling over nothing but I swear I’m not lonely.
~
Everywhere is quiet except my mind.
Happiness is something I’ll never find.
The final foe to defeat was myself.
Soul is damaged beyond repair.
I’m without any studio.
This is nothing that you would know.
This song is about to end, but I’m not stopping there.
(I feel so left out)
I swear that I’m not lonely.
Don’t care that you don’t know me.
I am my friend you won’t be.
Feelin’ left out but I’m not lonely.
I swear that I’m not lonely.
Don’t care that you don’t know me.
I am my friend you won’t be.
Feelin’ left out but I’m not lonely.

I'm Not Lonely

Lyrics:

Across the universe, I lie myself down.
Atop the pool’s surface I can rest now.
My own mall and my own stairway.
Draft in the hall is in my own airways.

How did I get here?
How can I leave?
How did I get here?
I’ll never leave.

I never estimated it would be this way
I underestimated that I’d see it today.
I wasn’t ready for the feeling I’d get.
I’m rising through the water and the ceiling is next.

Can’t believe that I won’t wanna stay here.
Wanted to be all alone with no neighbors near.
This isn’t fair I demand to enjoy this.
Can’t escape but waking up can destroy it.

How did I get here?
How can I leave?
How did I get here?
I’ll never leave.

I never estimated it would be this way
I underestimated that I’d see it today.
I wasn’t ready for the feeling I’d get.
I’m rising through the water and the ceiling is next.

My Very Own Liminal Space For Fun

Slightly older track.

Lyrics:
Let’s get started with the frontier.
Your position’s uncharted when you come here.
But anybody here can die.
Life is a dream just passing you by.
Take a breath, now take another.
The stakes are this when we hate eachother.
Unofficial truth sinking under.
One day you’ll remember that, with-
-no way it’ll ever matter.
Venturing west with your life.
And only the best will survive.
Yeah.
Don’t you wanna make it?
You gotta be the danger out here.
Don’t you miss the peaceful times?
Don’t you wish to be confined?
And don’t you wish you had the will to sleep at night?
Before the future, it’s the wild west. Only a champion can stay there.
Life’s not fair at the end of the day. So why should I play fair?
Step on over the plate, take control of your fate.
Every single curveball is bound to disorientate.
Gotta make sure it’s actually done right.
To swing so hard you can afford to bring a bat to a gunfight.
Soon, every single drop of your life is spent.
But it’s already obvious where all of the time went.
You had to use it up staying alive.
And now you’re on your death bed, waiting till the angel arrives.

Part of my (unofficial) EP from June last year:

Fairplay

Photosynthesis (Instrumental)

I guess just lean back and try to imagine whatever you want to this. That's what I do, at least.

The Extinct Gloomy Ambience Of Harmony

The Leading Track of my first official album.
This one in particular was originally a 3 part suite, but that seemed pointless and I made it all into one song.

Alexander Grey's Silly Little Mixtape

Forget The Rules Of Music

A quick beat I made. Little side project that I thought turned out okay. Free download. Planning on releasing more actual full length songs shortly.

Dopamine

Ans Logeles

Felt like putting together a quick little digital (uncompressed to preserve timbre) jam track to commemorate the Woodstock 50 festival that didn't happen because I love music too much to not do anything in honor of this. R.I.P. Woodstock 50, I would have loved to attend through audience, artist or otherwise.
Originally released on released August 18, 2019.
Dedicated to everyone who attended, planned and/or performed at Woodstock 50 years ago and to everyone who wishes they could have done so this year. I know this one simple track isn't much, but I hope at least someone out there enjoys this little tribute I made.

Woodstock 50 Instrumental Tribute

Made in January 2019, and like most others I sort of waited a long time before deciding to release this.

Adapt And Push Forward

Forgot about this one a while ago. Was bored and playing with chords in March 2019 when I made this. Nothing special.

Mood1

This one's more recent, made in July 2020. It's sort of to convey a new vibe I'm going for.

New Vibe

Miline Hotami 2

The predecessor to the other track I just uploaded.

Miline Hotami 1 (From December 14th, 2018)

Decided to make this today. Happy Conjunction.
Big thanks to Jupiter, Saturn, Earth's tilt, etc.
