Lyrics:

Take off from the nocturnal pool
The minutes on the clock summon you
Disrobe from the comfort cloak
Undiscovered truth..awaits you

Like the streaks across the sky
Leave your trail as you diffuse
One with the orange hues
Go afloat to be amused..

Layers upon layers to this haven
No longer mystery...discovery
Truth and all of its serenity
Shall win over your assumptions..arbitrary

Like these numbers
Behold more than pretty pictures
They are the clouds your perceive
Oblivious to insecurity..

Like the streaks..
Are a part of you
Let the numbers on the sheet consume you..
Wake up to its beauty
Sing praises for all of eternity
Dive....Dive....
You're sure to find your wings in this bounty...

No fear of darkness
No fear of rain
Get all the freedom you deserve
Beyond the lines of liberation
More than the love you didn't deserve
And the joy of its illusion..
Let it reflect the colours obscured by the haze
Give in and turn the page..

So...as you climb the stairs to paradise
Take another look at green Bardeen in the moonlight
Whisper...to the silent night your lullaby
You've paid in full..to see the brightest moon..
With your sacrifice...

Bask..
In the rays...
That coruscate..
Every layer of these feathers...

Layers of Feathers

Lyrics: 

The tedium of the bright skies, veiled by the blinds
Sanity..escaped..resurrects..to haunt you in this lullaby..
Dig ...deep...and find...the chasm...chasm

Verse 1:
Slip away..a step from the stupor...(Whisper..hear the whisper)
Lose grip of the blue (visions)..hole and its chatter..(the stench in your
room)
Clasp the illusion of slumber (we can fake this laughter)
You'll soon rouse to the pat of thunder (for today).

Chorus:
Begin your trip to the bottomless pit
When in REM you'll feel the cataclysmic hit
Resounding silence will welcome you to the tunnel of grim
Cold beams of light though bright
Won't illuminate any of these sensory lies

Bridge:
There goes your alarm clock..twice..thrice
Wake up it says..to another bad dream..to realize

Outro I:
The perils of comfort
Have caused you to lose the world between your ears
Shallow satisfaction
Has made you apathetic to the curse

Outro II:
Lose your marbles
All for the sake of her gaze
Use all the hate..to justify your rage..
But break..don't you break...

Pensive Lullaby

I am looking for someone to collaborate with on this track. 
I think electronic soundscapes or an orchestral string section would fit well with what I have so far. 
Feel free to get in touch if interested. 

Thanks for listening.
Cheers.

Lyrics:

Let me clarify your familiarity with this moment
You've been here before
there's your mask mutilated..much like your conscience
Orbiting around the clock..around the bowl of perdition
That'll suck you as you spiral out

Memory of...yesterdays surrendered in the name of fate
Still flickering...somewhere in your fading brain
Stale benevolent thoughts...suffocating
Precious gobbledegook...desiccated

Rising waves pull you down into the cave 
because of your hedonistic ways
You're too heavy to float like the whales, too weak to fight the waves
because of your gluttonous ways
Barely on your own can you bear to move the stone
yet you choose to hate your foes
Loitering all alone you thought you'd spear through the storm 
because your ego told you so!

Blows to your head (this was a mistake)
Broken bones (despising mediocrity)
Squandered chances (not bending backwards for her acceptance)
All of you...is such a waste of space

Stay
Shackled
Only once
You terminate

Blows to your head you've mistaken
for the thrill of the adventure
blinding lights
you see as harbinger
of the future tide
shutting eyes!

Point of view...written in stone
One that drowns you...to the ocean floor
Aren't you keenly looking...for that open door?
That shows you glimpses...of the road you trode.
You're still adapting...you look for familiar pieces
And peels of your skin...from your crawl uphill
For you...have questions of your will
For you see yourself orbiting

Orbiting

KK_Ancient River_Remix

Greetings!

Musically, I am currently exploring progressive rhythmic and melodic elements (inspired by The Ocean Collective, Meshuggah, Periphery, Psychonaut, Karnivool, Ulcerate  and Animals as Leaders).

I am yet to find my sound and hone my skills as a producer and mixer but I lean towards more natural production styles like Porcupine Tree. 
To that end, I am open to producing and mixing songs for bands/artists that are new to the whole DIY scene. 
Feel free to get in touch if you want me to mix your song (for free ofc). 

Cheers (V)
