An instrumental song that's a mixture of acoustic guitar and post metal style riffs. 

The First Day Of Winter (Instrumental)

This track is my musical interpretation of the ups, downs, and everything between of a 'platonic' relationship in which the feelings are strong but desire is kept on a short leash and both parties 'choose' friendship to save themselves.

Platonica (Instrumental)

Platonica with vocal tracks, which are a mixture of singing and spoken word/poetry and a conversation in the middle.  It is essentially a musical love note.
Lyrics:

  Platonica 

If love were enough…

Take all of my fears away,
Come closer, please stay near
The night is ours, as is the day
My purpose, strikingly clear.


(spoken word conversation with myself on love)

I don't know how this works…
I mean how am I supposed to exist
with all this love inside of me and 
pretend it isn't there?
How can I be 'just friends'?

It isn't all about you, you know?
There are two sides to this relationship
and timing isn't everything but it's certainly
not perfect.

I know, but you don't get it.
What if she leaves?
What am I to do then?
Does all of this emotion waiting to burst
just fizzle and drain away?
It feels like she's already left…

Slow down, step back, and breathe.
That's the point of this whole 'friends thing', remember?
I don't believe 'if it's meant to be, it will'
anymore than you do, but it's not as though
you've got it all together.
How is that fair to her?

But I love her!
It's unfair to me that…

Stop!
Hold the phone, and think about what you just said.
That doesn't sound like love to me.
'Love is patient and kind;
love does not envy or boast;
it is not arrogant or rude.
It does not insist on it's own way; 
it is not irritable or resentful; 
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing,
but rejoices with the truth.
Love bears all things, 
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
Love does not end.'
Do you trust her?

Yes… I'm trying.
I have a lot of issues.

Does she?

Yes and no,
I mean they aren't the same.

Then she'll understand
and love you for who you are too.
Or she won't.

That's not real reassuring.

Do you love her?

Yes.

Then you need to let her know or
let her go.
(Conversation ends)

Breathe into me,
your worries,
your fears,
your pain,
your tears,
your failures,
your sorrows,
your yesterdays,
your tomorrows,
your hopes,
your dreams,
your successes,
your needs,
a listening ear,
a hand to hold,
a shoulder never colder,
only yours.

Dance with me,
 Just dance with me.
Twirling around
  Twisting together
 Apart we may fall
   Tempting never forever
So dance with me
  Don't waltz with the end
 Patience becomes us
    My dearest friend.

We could be the greatest
 or we could fade into obscurity 
Poetic eloquence
 cannot combat reality
We crumble under
 emotional brutality
We could be the greatest
  or we could fade into obscurity
Poetic eloquence
 cannot combat reality
We crumble under
 emotional brutality
We could be the greatest 
  or we could fade…
