Dedicated to my best friend who spread her wings and flew from this realm.  I love you Sandra <3 <3

serenity

But we don't run away - 
Cause everything's at stake -
To give up now - 
Would be the greatest mistake -

Fate

Kickin off with press secretary Leavitt
She's as grating a toy that squeaks when you squeeze it
When she speaks there's no way she believes it
spewing Lies with ease with the cross above her cleavage 

comin up is another corrupt blondie 
Big money lobbyist AG PJ bondi 
 its her job to clean daddys dirty laundry 
deceipt is how you earn your keep as a maga barbie 

moving on to kristi "puppy slayer" Noem
banned by the tribes - thats a fifth of her home
waged a war on masks while corona roamed the globe
they only work if you're armed and your blood is ice cold

meet Marjorie Taylor got me sick till I'm green
Georgia's cross fit karen & conspiracy queen 
blamig space lasers for the smoke in the trees
and saying  it was the dems who sent hurricane Helene

Eyes like a snake, its the blankly staring kari lake 
claims the only way she'd lose a race is if results are fake
said she’d lock up Hobbs, but got tossed from the case 
GOP denial with a fox tox frozen face
  
Donni loves the dummies so here comes McMahon
defundin education for millions across the land 
A rich old puppet with a billion dollar brand 
Got us in a chokehold while our future turns to sand
   
Damn, I feel so full of patriotism
knowing the regime has such respectable women
But in this patriarchal hegemony 
we must be never slip into feminism
its the enemy 
Men under God and Women under men
So lets go further in
to the real brain and brawn of the system
A greet our rightrous boys who keep the whole thing spinning
putting  the people  before corruption or any other kind of sinning


Creeper of the House, it’s MAGA Mike Johnson
Would watch porn all day if his kid didn’t stop him
Says “praise the Lord” while he pockets oil profits
underneath a polished shell hides SOMETHING rotten

Hoarse man of pestilence presenting RFK
An animated corpse that has already half decayed
name says legacy but the mouth breaths a plague 
of anti-science lies within a thousand heinous claims

You can guess whose next by the scent of whiskey breath  
head of  leaky ops propaganda petey heggseth
Send him back to fox, federal's beyond his depth
honor is lost with a War Hawk jock  at the desk

Our next star is border czar tom homan 
deport him back to Geidi Prime the fucks a harkonnen
wants the innocent in chains like a wicked warden
no trial,  no pardon when he comes kickin the door in

When you see the baby face its shady JD Vance
hillbilly elegy to flip flopping on his stance
see the strings that Thiels using to make the traitor dance
and pave the way for palantirs techno fascist plans

Patron saint of fever dreams its scheming Steven miller 
hatred of a demon behind dead eyes like a killer
Drafting policies like his dream is to be Himmler
maga ideology beyond the optics and the  filler

   I think that is everyone who I wanted to cover 
 well, the relevant ones there's likely some others
If there is anybody who I might have missed
im sure you'll find them all over the epstein list

Maybe even with a little side of justice 
but I know that is an outlandish wish 
but it doesn't really take a genius 
To know those names  are all over the epstein list

Meet The Regime

The Idea of Hope

The master of drivel 
division and vitriol   
whos soul must have shriveled 
or sold to the highest bidder
wants to be given 
control over the living
for us all to live in
a gruesome gilded prison 

fashioned in its image
of fast food materialism
cash grabs, scams  and grifting
malignant narcissism
mindless fanatacism 
silencing all wisdom
violence enforced submission
worshipping the schism

A counterfeit religion 
Sermons of derision 
Vile, Sightless vision 
A virus in the system 
Corruption without limits 
A cycle becoming vicious  
Destruction of whats gives us
whats priceless , pure and precious 

a calling to the children 
the spirits of the kindred 
their ilk and all the willing 
and those who share this feeling 
of our  future ill gotten
by the few and the rotten 
that there is no other option 
than to stand up and stop them

This may be our only moment
Before the window closes
Our strongest and last resort is 
Our numbers and our voices  
we must make the whole world notice 1
Grind it a hault in protest
We'll move as one and won't succomb
Until justice is what has been done 

Until we all see 
what it means to be 
a solidarity 
a unified humanity 
against the sick and greedy
that deal in fear and tyranny 
so we must gather, be brave and sing 
The songs of love that set us free


We are nothing to you
but you are nothing without us
You are no king 
just a fool with stolen power
time won't stop ticking 
down towards the golden hour 
faced with true majesty 
 you will run, hide and cower

Our Majesty

Time a funny thing

Lyrics: 

This is it isn’t it
What we worked for minutes into hours 
Days and years
Through the anger fear and tears  
What we dreamed about gazing at the stars
 Making up stories about the future called ours
Cruising down the road  in the city at night
Underneath the gorgeous glow of the  city lights
With you by my side it always felt so right
No worries, no hurry always taking our timer

Time is a funny thing
You never really know what it is gonna bring
Moment to moment always in between 
Past and future memories hopes and dreams
The scenes play out but the images remain 
Of happiness and love regret loss joy and pain
Changing constantly but somehow the same
Working and building a lifelong frame

I got it in my mind but I can’t quite make it fit 
Restlessly arranging all the letters in the alphabet 
 Anxiously waiting for a bright  idea to hit 
Taking much longer than I’d ever care to admit
The way you make me feel is a little bit absurd
Like The fuzzy weird feeling that I get with the herbs
variety's spice of life but I want you all the same
I’ll take all the credit if you need someone to blame

It wouldn’t be life it something wasn't in the way
Let me show you the scenario play by play
For everyone there comes a time Where they gotta choose
Their direction and path, what they gain what they lose
You had an opportunity to go score your goal
To kick the winning punt between the two forked poles
That night we talked for hours and  it was hard find
Common ground to stand on and see eye to eye

Time is a funny thing
You never really know what it is gonna bring
Moment to moment always in between 
Past and future memories hopes and dreams
The scenes play out images remain 
Of happiness and love regret loss joy and pain
Changing constantly but somehow the same
Working and building a lifelong frame

The day finally came when it was time for you to leave
It was a late fall day and I felt like all the trees 
After the cold winds blow and they lose all their leaves
Baren branches wishing they had cover from the breeze
It was bitter sweet If I had to  say the least 
I wanted to say more but you said to me please
Don’t make this harder than it already has to be
I love you dearly and it was who taught me how to be free

Time is the strangest thing
You never really know when its gonna sting
Moment to moment always in between 
Past and future memories hopes and dreams
The scenes play out but the images remain 
Of happiness and love regret loss and pain
Changing constantly but somehow the same
Working and building a lifelong frame

Life Long Frame

Musical Rants!! Here is the transcript: 


This is what I feel like inside my mind
Every day I wake up restless two steps behind
Drink a cup of coffee just to feel alive
Eventually I’m caught covering my eyes
I avoid all the news for my well being 
As pessimist its hard enough
Without seeing 
swarms of stupidity 
Hypocrisy and secrecy 
the anthem of  society 
And they wonder why we
Struggle with

 sobriety 
Suicide, sweet irony
Hiding in trivial fiction
Depictions and pcitures
Of worlds without 
Dictators
 corrupt leaders
And schemers
Sinking their teeth
Into any profit
 they can squeeze
From people barely scraping means
 Enough
 To live with dignity and self esteem
No love
 New apple head phones to
Drown out all their pleas 
Macbook and PC’s 
Have  us addicted to
their smoke screens

Millions of starving children 
Needing medicine and vaccine
From the poison of the rust 
Falling off the machine
Military intervene 
By bombing  innocent civilians
Billions spent inventing weapons
That wipe clean a world blue and green
Of peaceful people caught in-between
Petty wars raging with no end seen
The scene blazes on, if everyone is dead and gone
Can anyone say they really won? 

So whats the purpose 
Does anyone deserve this
Assault on this precious 
Gift of life given us
Ripping up Forrests 
Putting  profit before us
Saying its for us
But all we want is 
Is less fuss
 
And more trust 
In our fellow  man
 No rush a better plan
People reaching out a helping hand
Lifting up until  we all stand
Leaving no one in the sand
Nod if you can understand

I hope its not Too late 
to set the record straight
To fix the skip taking  
Us To a date 
not worth a double take
 too much at stake 
To sit back and wait 
In our hands we hold our fate

 If we don’t act now we could be shut down
Hands behind our back and face in the ground 
This is not a drill, exercise or a false alarm 
The power is the still the peoples and our powers not gone

Anthem

This song is about the fact that we are all one but some people decide to raise themselves way too high above people and consequently fuck up many lives.


You know, I think about this a lot
Especially when I’m driving in the city
Seeing the miserable people on the way to work
Wishing I could shake them or hug them
Just do something to wake them from their 
9 to 5 nightmare.. Just show them something beautiful
Thant reminds them of what we truly are
And what we could really be

I want to connect all the scattered pieces
Gather the missing links that seek allegiance 
Align the isolated, fresh shine for eyes faded
Make a path for the afraid and their related
I want you to see its easier than breathing
To leave all your pain that you think you’ve been needing
No need to cling to beliefs that are impeding 
Your importance to a collective heart beating

We are all  in this together
Whether or not you acknowledge the tether
That ties and binds us -  birds of feather
Words  to help you remember 
 A time beyond time
Wrapped in forever 
Of beginnings ending never
In this ephemeral temporal temple 
We tamper with mental tendencies 
 and maladies - adapting to 
 Tragedy, calamity, insanity
 attempting to claim a sense of individuality 

But is an individual really that free?
Isolated from his own extended family tree
Hiding high in towers from those down beneath
 Keeping position of power and his heart far out of reach
 I’m usually not the type to write out and give a speech
 But if I have something to say I might as well start to preach
 If I have any wisdom it  would be wrong not to teach  
Anything thats mine was never all mine to keep

I want to connect all the scattered pieces
Gather the missing links that seek allegiance 
Align the isolated, fresh shine for eyes faded
Make a path for the afraid and their related
I want you to see its easier than breathing
To leave all your pain that you think you’ve been needing
No need to cling to beliefs that are impeding 
Your importance to a collective heart beating

You say you are free but I hear your chains rattle
Walking to and from no different than a common cattle 
Somethings wrong if you don’t know its a battle 
For your mind and soul so find a way to stay agile 
Any moment they can shut down your revenue 
Take your house and cars and kids so easily  from you
With just one command machine kicks into gear 
Making damn sure you know exactly who to fear 

So keep telling me about your liberation
when you’re in a prison nation
This is not a fantasy you’re living in
Giving your  identity to a massive entity
Working hard for pennies for the price all your energy
And the Empathy is lost in these monsters 
Honestly I’m convinced they have no conscience
Constantly crossing boundaries no one should ever reach
With all that money they probably feel like everyone is the enemy

 they hire  entire armies  to keep us tired on our knees
 legions of swat teams, federals  and the police  
Any civil unrest is a punishable crime
Just Keep your head down off the radar and in line
You have the right to remain silent, if you’re violent
They will silence you, open fire with no chance to make it though
If you want to rise they got devices  spying the sky
Gps trackers an cameras have you in their sight

I want to connect all the scattered pieces
Gather the missing links that seek allegiance 
Align the isolated, fresh shine for eyes faded
Make a path for the afraid and their related
I want you to see its easier than breathing
To leave all your pain that you think you’ve been needing
No need to cling to beliefs that are impeding 
Your importance to a collective heart beating

Allegiance

This is a beat for someone who wants to Rap over it. yeeee.

I mean you could sing over it too..

If nothing it is groovy

Azure ( free beat for collaboration )

Very happy to release this Collobaration with *Thommo*!

Upon hearing his music and especially his collaboration with @vizualye I definitely wanted to see where it would go.  From the moment I messaged him he crafted a quality beat In like, I swear it was only a few hours.  

I added some live elements and the vocals and sent it back to him and he mixed it all up into this final piece. We even collaborated up to the Art! I fashioned *thommo*'s sweet headphone logo onto my head. You should definitely follow in suit and put the music of @thommo_tunes into you heard and drift off into a musical paradise hehe. 

If you like what you hear feel free to give a shout out for collaborations!

Lyrics:

When an unstoppable force 
Meets an unyielding object 
All bets are off 
On your mark ready set
Go if you know To remember to forget 
Everything you were ever told About lead turning gold
Lyrical alchemy
Empirically Clear to see
Feel and hear Verifiably 
No need To bring A theory 
When you feel me 
Whenever you and near me
And my energy coming through the 
Air clearly

If you want to learn you can mirror me
Don’t let fear hang and linger like an earring 
If you tear it off clean it will sting
But it is critical for healing
Steering a ship into shores in sight nearing
Harbors full of people cheering
And waving, anticipating 
What you found beyond
The sky line sailing
a sky high chance of failing
Dancing through waves raging 
Laughing at the siren song wailing

Surrounded by a stream of information
Losing myself in the vibration
Wave forms making me lose inhibition 
It’s my mission to mix matter with the 
vision of alchemical solutions
That can shatter these collective delusions
Diluting our roots in defective excess
That dulls our soul until there's nothing left

As a matter of fact
The fact is this 
Success is not guarenteed
It is hit or miss.
No second tries
3rd 4th 5th or 6th
If you lose your balance
Salutations to the pit
Get your ass into gear hit the gas now steer 
Keep its straight and steady hardly any room to veer
Congratulations you’re the captain now
Celebrations when we get the hell out of here

Don’t think about what you had to leave behind
Break apart the tape to escape the need to rewind 
In time you will understand why 
But for now keep your mind tight and your eyes wide
Hide the weakness creeping down your spine
Try to breath deeply keeping peace in mind
Find your feet proceeding in a straight line
Ride the beat let the tempo speak 
Metronome is key let it sync 
Find the wavelength and the strength to survive

Because everybody needs you to be alive 
You’re tied to our hearts and you’re part of our light
These days we can’t afford to lose any more pieces of our core
We may be cornered but we can still fight
may the lord bless our plight and grant a faint shimmer in the night
Even a spark would do, just anything we could use
To raise our flame brighter and hotter and higher
Until we light the way with a blazing fire

Surrounded by a stream of information
Losing myself in the vibration
Wave forms making me lose inhibition 
It’s my mission to mix matter with the 
vision of alchemical solutions
That can shatter these collective delusions
Diluting our roots in defective excess
That dulls our soul until there's nothing left

Alchemy (Prod. *thommo*)

I was perusing the Soundcloud and I stumbled upon this acoustic, Creative Commons piece by @liluiinwild. It moved me, and reinterpreting this song was a thing that I really wanted to do.. So in a few hours on a laptop I have come up with this little piece.

I am little nervous to release this because of how raw it is.. But the song itself is very raw - So I wanted to keep that feeling. The microphone I used was just my laptop microphone since I am out of studio zone working in the city for a few extra days. 

I could take it back to the studio but I think this is where it needs to be and how it needs to sound. 

You can hear the original at - -https://soundcloud.com/liluiinwild/twisted-butterfly

Lyrics:

Let us breath, let us sleep
Let sink down into the deep
By now, we are just a broken shell
With our last words we will tell
We just want to sink, we don’t want to think
We just want to breath, we just want to sing
But we are butterflies with broken wings
It doesn’t matter now - with these broken dreams

I don’t want to be this broken 
I want it to be dream in which I will be woken
Into a field of green,  with beautiful words being spoken
Lulling me back and forth as the gentle winds blow in
I want to fly free to wherever I please
Soaring above the clouds, and landing into peaceful sleep
No more painful cracks to slip in between 
Where my pleas can’t be heard, and where my spirit can’t be 
seen

In the end it doesn’t matter why
All there is - is the tears that we cry
All the years that we must march through life
All the fears that keep us all from the light
So twisted butterfly break both your wings
Let us comprehend the effect that it brings
Let us breath in and let it sink in
Let us all cry and weep for new beginnings

Into the Deep ( reinterpretation of Twisted Butterfly )

As soon as I heard the news about Mac Miller's untimely passing I knew that I had to make this. This song has been one of my favorite song since about when it came out. I actually even tried to make an experimental down tempo thing with the main synth / keyboard line in the song earlier this year.

The first time I ever heard it I was in a shitty situation with people. However, when this song came on things somehow just chilled out a little bit. Ever since I could always go back to it to help me through good and bad times. The emotional depth of Mac's voice in this song is incredibly deep and always has a profound effect on me. I will admit tears were shed a few times I listened to this after he passed.

The main synth, keyboard line that is the main theme of the song always made me nostalgic, happy and some other feeling I cannot easily describe.

I'm just so happy I have the tools to make a tribute to one of my favorite voices in music. If you listen I hope you enjoy it - but don't forget to listen to the original !

Rest in peace Mac Miller - Hope where you went is much more dope than this place.

Mac Miller - Thoughts From A Balcony ( Cover and Tribute )

I was very stoked when Jinen Tronic  reached out to me for a collaboration.  It has been a pleasure to work with him, and make something happen above his energetic yet melancholy synth track.  The mixing was definitely a bit of a challenge as he would have to bounce down a version, send it to me, wait till I heard it to give opinion, then make time in his busy life to try another mix. . I appreciate his dedication to music and how fun it was to work with him.  You should definitely go check his page out and give it a healthy listen - https://soundcloud.com/jinen-tronic-672201966

I am sad that I can not put the lyrics here. No matter what I did they exceeded 4000 characters.

LYRICS:

Here we are we're traveling round in space
moving slowly through the Milky Way
In a space ship looking out into space
see the amazement on each others face

I put extra in terrestrial 
New textures in a world gone dull
Infections lectures that protect
Your head from feeling miserable 
So do indulge in my impulsive, bold 
And wholesome gold
Coming out speaker cones
From a world unknown
Where the aliens roam
Where the air is never cold
Where the stars are born
I’m coming down from who knows where
To show you that theres more out there
Vast beyond your wildest dreams
It’s all waiting for you if you dare
So take my hand and I’ll take you far
We will be dancing among the brightest stars
Washing our worries in a meteor shower
Skating on the ring around Saturns heart

We are, among the stars
traveling so fast, we are
Among the Stars

It’s okay to be intimidated
Its not everyday you’re in a spaceship
Seeing once distant constellations
At speeds beyond imagination
ugh
So say good day to Milky Way
Our destination is a ways away 
My suggestion is for you to stay
Collected and calm
As we ride this wave
While we glide through space
While we dine on tastes 
Exotic to your native land scape 
Break any notions of your new found fate 
For what awaits is nothing short of great
Face the facts theres no need to go back
This path is packed with action and that 
Which will crack your conception and 
 Stretch your perception I’m betting
This will be something you won’t be forgetting 
As long as you heart beats and spirit is living
As long as the charge keeps firing your engine
We’ve gone star leaping and we’re not found quitting
We’ve gone far creeping past black holes spinning 
Our strong arms steering this boat to the finish 
To a place where matter never gets diminished
 Your race won’t believe what things are hidden 
In the middle of the end thats just  beginning 
A riddle of the bend in space that is giving 
Life to the rest of everything that living 
 the bright   crest of energy that is lifting 
The weight of eternity as it is shifting 
Through dimensions upwards of eleven
Everything that is ever known and is written 
From the deepest roots up to the highest heaven

Can you feel it coursing through you 
This force profound raw and new
Charges from purest form of energy
Lighting up your essence till your soul is free 
So take this final step into the beyond
Where your questions are answered before they spawn
Where everything meets and where it says so long
Where the meaning of life is a never ending song

We are, among the stars
traveling so fast, we are
Among the Stars

See you space cowboy...

Among The Stars (ft. Skyline Tigers)

It is with a heavy heart I release this song today. I usually don't put things besides what I have been doing in the alternative rap/hiphop vein of sounds. However, I just wanted to share this because of a recent event. Thought it might be cathartic to release this into the world. 

I had a terrible misunderstandings with one of my best friends who I've been friends with for a really long time. All of a sudden she decided to completely cut me out of her life.  

I'll be the first to tell anybody that I am far from a perfect human being and that I make mistakes, but this was so uncalled for I was left in a horribly sad and shocked state.. Complete disbelief in what had just happened. 

No need for gruesome details.. But this is my Goodbye letter to an amazing human and friend who I care about incredibly deeply, and always will

Lyrics:

I hope you know I would never try to hurt you
I only want whats best for you
And I know I can careless, pushy and mean
But It’s only because of the pain underneath

I have no excuses 
I should have been better 
I’ve already done the damage
This is my goodbye letter

You taught me, so much about myself 
You understood me like no one else
 It couldn’t have been easy to deal with someone like me
So I understand now, why you should be free

I have no excuses 
I should have been better 
I’ve already done the damage
This is my goodbye letter

 I can’t believe this is how it ends
Cut off and no chance to mend
So with tears I seal 
My goodbye letter

I have no excuses 
I should have been better 
I’ve already done the damage
This is my goodbye letter

No Excuses (Goodbye Letter)

Take the archetypical journey into darkness and the rise back into  the light.

Celestial Symphony

This is one of my most important songs. I made it around 6 years ago. It tells a story of a Unicorn that must keep its loves safe from the forces of darkness.

UNTAMED  (prod. 2013)

Groovy ass beat with soft, smooth, fluid and cutting cadence that leads to a catchy ass chorus hoping to remind you of your true majesty beyond this half lucid realm of malaise and the monsters who delight in draining you of your vivid love and life.  The bridge reminds you there are many like minded individuals all around you who are awakening from the collective daze and feeling the urgency to throw their entirety into fighting for what truly matters. 

The song is Imperfect. The perfect version would never be heard and this song desperately wants to be heard. It finally was fed up just sitting in the private folder.  Uncertainty be damned.  If you find this song, listen to it and read this description then tag, you’re it.  Throw your imperfect, uncertain self and/or art into the world and reach those who need to be reached.  

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for to come save us.

We Are The Ones

Well.. I started this track almost a year ago? Thank goodness for Sander's (https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer) patience. This track means a lot to me in a lot of ways.. The longer I didn't move forward the harder it was to return to it.  However, I got really inspired when the fall and winter came back because this song definitely has a late fall / wintery feel. 

I go from feeling really good about it to OMG I need to delete all my vocals and start over. However, it must be released regardless. It may not be perfect but that is fine. It is a song from two people who don't live remotely near each other. That in itself is a beautiful feat that must be appreciated. On top of that Sander's music meeting my strange cadence and expression creates a vibe never before experienced. Of course there is the story.  

The story is of course lovers caught in a 1984-esque scenario. However, I also wrote with the inspiration of current events.  I think that is also why I wanted to release it as soon as I could.. I think it has an element of needed catharsis.  However, I am very joyful to finally release this!! so much thanks for listening if you do <3

lyrics:


 Underneath it all 
 Behind the brick and mortar tall 
Slowly becoming barren like the  fall
Trees that wish to stalll 
The distance from the sun the Earth revolves
Spring time rebirth is far 
And they're putting on the final straw

People watching revert to simple awe
As so many lines start becoming crossed
Power through crimes whats the cost
Of an entire world bound and lost
Warming up but still crowned in frost
Made hostage by the hostile law 
The coverage is constant like a coke withdrawal 
Never budging like a water soaked log
We need a fire but all we got is smoke like fog 
That obscures our view of hope till its gone

Try
Try to smile for me
Lets pretend we are free
Right Here 
While we’re Wrapped in each others arms
We know we are safe from harm


 Please turn off the radio 
When its on your eyes lose their glow 
Those voices speak poison don't you know 
They’ve chosen to keep us dull and low
Stay poised and don’t let you mind go
To where it naturally wants to the most 
Keep your cards close 

To your chest 
And never tell the rest 
Keep your secrets buried deep within your breath 
People can be trusted less and less
This is all for your best interest 
I can already tell when your thoughts want to burst from your head

I know it hurts but think of our past blessings instead
Remember when I met you back in summer of 07?
As soon as I saw you I knew within just a couple of seconds
That you were someone who was homesick for heaven 

It was a bit of a miracle you even talked to me
I was never social my thoughts never Let me be free
But you fought through my walls so playfully 
Your kiss must have worked like an open sesame 
You showed me a whole world anew a little like Disney 
It’s a little cheesy and thinking of it has me dizzy 
Your love has always made me sick like a disease 
Butterflies from you make a hurricane erupt in me


I was hoping this day would never come
But I think it was time to grab our things and run
I’d rather die than see you under a gun
Being forced to give in and succumb 
To these wicked men or whatever they have become

I no longer see any trace of love in their eyes
They despise anything that looks like life
Reflecting off of the sheen of their knives
If we leave now there is cover under disguise of night
It’s fight or flight and we both know what is right

Try (Wane of Summer & Cycle of Hands)

wow. WOW. It is released. It has been "finished".

This has been one of the most challenging and rewarding collaborations to date. Interesting as *thommo* (https://soundcloud.com/thommo_tunes) was the first person I ever collaborated with over soundcloud. Our first track "Alchemy" kind of just fell together within weeks.  4am not only took over a year but has 3 very different versions.   The first version was 6 minutes long, very fast and the lyrics were much darker.  The second had the same lyrics but the beat was much different. 
*thommo* and I started going in different directions and we both kind of threw our hands up. My communication dropped off due to life changes. *thommo* every now and then would send a message reflecting on wanting to revisiting the track but I was consumed with a far different life than I was living the first time we collaborated. 

However, *thommo* kept pushing on this track and eventually sent me the first draft of this newest version and all of the excitement and passion jumped alive. It was the best of what both of us saw the tracks potential as.  

So HERE WE ARE! Full circle with our completed collaboration ready for your listening enjoyment.  From EllE of Cycle of Hands and *thommo* we bring you: 

4 A.M.

lyrics:

There are some things that wait until the quiet
Time of night
To take over your mind before the day gets bright
When everyone’s still asleep I feel like I might
Be the only one alive so I look to the sky

I take comfort in the stars and the moon in despite
Of their distance from my room where I sit and write
Pieces of ideas from this muse deep inside
She’s the higher form I use to free my light

It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end 
No sleep then
For me this night

It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind 
I wonder 
I hunt for 
What is life

I Ignite a little fire to see where I am
In the A.M. I get tired but I still can’t land
Mayhem of creation doesn’t care about plans
I made when my intention was lights out by 9

But Inspiration beckons and I can’t reject the call
If it is passed to me it’s disrespect if I drop the ball
Of energy like electricity from the wall
It’s all I see and I know its me who needs to crack this vault

It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end 
No sleep then
For me this night

It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind 
I wonder 
I hunt for 
What is life

It’s 4 am and 
The world is small
This screen the window 
And my wall

No sounds are heard
Except my own thoughts
They go Back and forth 
And it ticks me off

My eyes are glued to this new creation 
I can’t stop, drop or leave this inspiration 
Inside me theres a key to the ignition 
When its turned There is no chance of intermission 
I’ve been hitting on something much bigger than fiction 
I know Because it comes straight from my deepest intuition 
It can’t wait to escape from everything I’ve written 
Leaping from the words the moment you see em

So tonightt I am defying my sleep cycle 
Gonna try to give life to these dreams that I pull
From the hat on my skull That been getting too full 
With ideas and scenarios playing like a film roll 
On repeat so I need to hit focus and record
Can’t miss a thing double checking every cord
I know that the final piece is my only reward 
I blow through minutes and hours with every step taken towards
My gold

4am (*thommo* and EllE)
