Lyrics:
We spend our lives drifting In and out of circles
Dancing with our shadows thinking somethings not quite right
Every indication tells me I'm moving closer
But in reality, I'm fading from plain sight

Drifting in and out
Spinning all around
Can't seem to find myself
It's like I'm living on the bounce

I tried to fix the fractures; those times my heart endured
Still seeking answers;  and I'm far from being cured
Drifting through these empty circles like a feather on the wind
I have a sinking feeling I'm just spinning around again

I'm spinning around again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Death Is Calling
Words by G. Washington
Music by D. D'Ambrosia

Can you hear me calling?
Do you wonder what went wrong?
That cocktail you were shooting
It was just a little too strong
Now the ceiling is melting
And the walls are bending
Spatial distortion: physical contortion

Your breathing is getting slower
Your pulse is getting weak
Your chance of Earthly future
Well,,,,,it's getting bleak
You had your chance at life
But now you made your choice
Now there's nothing left to do
Except to listen to my voice

Death is calling; He'll be your guide
There's no redemption; no place to hide
Death is calling the fallen sheep
Your soul is weary; just go to sleep

Turn your gaze away 
From the gleaming starry skies
Just hold my bony hand
And close your weary eyes
It's a shame you have to leave
With so much life ahead
But it's too late to believe
And the Master knows,,,,you are dead!!!!

Children Of The Garden
Words by G. Washington & D. D'Ambrosia
Music by D. D'Ambrosia
©2017
Vocals : Glen Washington
Dan D'Ambrosia: Bass, guitar, Programming

Lyrics:
Where did you come from?
Where are you now?
Where do you want to be?
Are you committed; are you willing to try
To see past yourself to what lies beyond?

Children of the garden 
Dancing in the dirt
Children gather round now
Listen to your heart; for what it's worth

"Days pass so quickly as time marches on"
"There's so much to learn before it's ever done"

Searching for a better place
(It wasn't meant to be this way)
Searching for a better place
(No it wasn't meant to be this way)

When you stare in the mirror: deep in your reflection
Do you like the image you've made?
Is it already too late by any estimation
On the journey from the womb to the grave?

Do you hear the cries of silent revelation?
Why is there hopelessness inside?
We're all children of the garden
Searching for a better place
To be alive
To be alive
To be alive

Children Of The Garden     Collab w/ Collecting Pool

Lyrics: Dan Dambrosia

Original drum concept: Narziss Malestrom

Musical adaptation: Dan Dambrosia

I find myself looking for the rock falling from the sky
I firmly stand on this ground just waiting to die
And while I wait, I might catch some exotic disease
A Mosquito's bite will cause a rise of ten degrees

Ah you just never know; it's all speculation
Planting seeds of rumors to grow
Harvesting fears to feed a Nation

I find myself wondering bought the sun getting too close
I fear the Cancer will spread from my head down to my toes
And while I dance to the sound of this heavy beat
The ground will crack and crumble disappearing under my feet
(Chorus)

Control yourselves; stop parading negativity
Like a Model with some fashion sensibility
It's not all doom and gloom like they portray on TV
It's just somebody toying with your sensitivity

Alone With You

Lyrics:
Midnight, darkness all around me I can hear you calling
Whitecaps crashing on the Breakers in the pale moonlight
Alone with you I am calm; I am safe
Watching the eternal waves I'm at peace; centered
While the World spins around me in a rush........
When I'm hidden in the shadows you will always find me
Cleanse my mind; wash me with the rising tide
Alone with you I am calm; I am safe

Alone With You

Totally unprepared for the digital age.  I still think analog tape reel.  Tells you how old I am I guess.  Don't do Facebook either; not because I'm anti-social, just too lazy to learn it.

All the posted(and reposted) tracks here are collaborations with Collecting Pool (Dan Dambrosia) unless specified.  We have been neighbors 4 doors down for over 25 years. I thank him greatly for helping me remember how much fun this is.

@collecting-pool.
My goal is to produce some of my own stuff in the future.  But I'm a slug and I admit it, so for the near future anyway, I'll be reposting collabs with Collecting Pool and all you fine Cloudseeders.  Thanks to all of you for being so warm and welcoming to this community.  I will strive every day to be worthy of that acceptance.  Looking forward to participating and listening.  Ciao!!!!
