After listening to this track from The Anthropophobia Project for months, I decide that I just had write something to go with it, and I am grateful that Mike was so open and helpful to the cause.

I sing, and I declare that song
Is my highest form of communication.

I am because I sing.
Because I have a voice, 
And ears with which to hear it.

Because I was born into a world with
Vast musical geography,
I have learned to tune my voice in specific
Pitches, to express the light and
The dark passions of existence, all of them,
Through my heavy, liquid heart.

And through the songs of my fellow travelers, I have learned 
To sense the force of life
Which is some form of light,
As it travels to me and through me.

And because I live on a watery planet,
I have witnessed the birth of songs,
In the presence of streams
And of rivers.

Because I inhabit a universe with a force called Time,
That which pushes everything forward into 
Irresistible change,
I have come to see that whatever is real 
Is so much heavier than I ever knew
Because it is so tightly woven,
Even as it is so much lighter and softer
Than I ever knew, because
We can barely touch the weave

And yet our hearts and brains drown
In the quest to understand
How it all was made
But the fabric is whatever we touch and
Whatever we name it
For the mysterious consciousness which so moves us
Moves through our hearts
Obeying the will of flow

So, what if all that which we ponder is yet
Imperfect and incomplete at every level, 
Still flowing toward something and somewhere?
What if flow, by balancing the force of life,
And the force of decay, is the creator?

Hope grows with the desire to maintain that which
Has already been created, and with the giving
Of outspoken love to the mysteries 
Which define us

I sing, and therefore I am 
Existing, in a place where song
Is the highest form of liquid communication
And how is song not the very consciousness which
Makes me declare that I am?

Why should mystery not exist?  
Why should we ever understand it all?
What if our heavy, liquid hearts 
Generate some part of the force 
Which drives us to live while we may?

Track written and recorded in a few hours for the songwriting blitz with the topic: Celestial Thief

The mix on this is definitely undercooked but I don't have the motivation to put more work in and would kinda defeat the point of the 24 hour challenge aha. Main focus was I guess on trying to make coherant use of space metaphors

Lyrics:
Celestial Thief

Verse 1:
There's a countdown on what we have
Don't want to wait for it to blow
You're gonna launch up to new heights
But I'll drag you down

We're stuck in our own orbit
Drift away then coming back
Don't wanna be ecentric
But this can't last


Pre Chorus:
This is one small step for me
One giant leap for us
Jump forward to your future
Leave us, in the dust


Chorus:
I would steal the stars right out of the sky
Just so I could make a wish to make a difference
But I can't do all that

I would move the moon to fill up the sky
Just so I could shine a way through all your darkness
But I can't do all that

I could promise you the world
I want to give it all
But I can't do it anymore
I think we need some space


Verse 2:
I planted a flag in what we had
But its been bleached in the sun
And it's waving
I surrender
I give up

This isn't a sea of tranquility
It's a black hole in my heart
Get out now
Before it pulls you in 


Pre Chorus

On The Nature Of Daylight - Max Richter(Cover)

----LYRICS----

and i wish i could promise or say something honest 
cause this instance i can't
so lets lie once again and pretend it's the end
i know from my heart it's not
just lies must be said to depart

don't tell me you miss me or how you used to kiss me
why do we still talk? 
we're just strangers whose lives once crossed
and I'm a boy who time forgot

you may hate me, break me, anything to shape me 
into what i was
we were strangers whose lives once crossed
and we remain as often thoughts

To Depart (feat. Pocket Dial)

La Catedral Part 1 - Agustin Barrios Mangoré (Cover)

Presenting... The Papa Toners! This week I got HUGE help from @TrexJones @Starcry @therumster & @allymacmusic. This song might just leave you skankin' all the way back to the late 90's!

Who I Am

And there could be at any moment a change
And if perhaps to put us down
I won't act like I've seen something strange
Maybe I just won't make a sound

But when the door closes before my eyes
Oh, oh I will cry
Just to know you are going to stay
Out on the side

No I'm not looking to find any holes
From what I think has been denied
That's not the feeling of love when it flows
I hope I can lose that much pride

And if it should come the time when we lose
No I won't try to hide
I'll just watch other's love as it goes
Out on the side

I have fallen through black nights it seems
With the times that I've lied
And I've watched your thoughts stray into dreams
When you're not satisfied

But when the door closes before my eyes
Oh, oh I will cry
Just to know you are going to stay
Out on the side
Out on the side
