Lyrics:

Before you were formed I knew
you must exist
But beyond the door
subtle knock, a haunting kiss.
 

Through the light and through
the dark I go
the maze disappears starts to fade
away I know
 

A second in this dream
No trace of time
For just a moment you were mine.

Round and around and around through space I go
billion stars million truths million mysteries unknown
 

I move to the song that will keep me close to you
I fly through the night with your love as my truth
 
A second in this place I can’t define
for just a moment you were mine
 
Round and around and around through space I go
billion stars million truths million mysteries unknown
 

A second in this dream
No trace of time
For just a moment you were mine.
 
Round and around and around through space I go
billion stars million truths million mysteries unknown

Round and around and around through space I go
billion stars million truths million mysteries unknown

About the song:

The song is highly inspired by Magic City Hippies, 1975, and Jakub Zytecki.

“Out of old, into new” is the lyrical thesis, I suppose, of what I was feeling when I wrote the lyrics.

“So long to those lies. I’m awake, I’m alone, I guess this place is my home.”
Being alone is hard. Being awake to one’s situation can be difficult. And then the realization that where one ends up in life isn’t the path they set forth so long ago can really shake a person’s foundation. My foundations been shook, but “I stick to my words - I feel like it makes me tough.”

Lyrics:

White turtle doves high in flight take to new skies - 
Bringing change, hope, and all the things I've passed by
All the love in the world, it never mattered enough
So I stick to my words, I feel like it makes me tough.

So long - so long to those lies.
I'm awake, I'm alone. I guess this place is my home. 
Oh, it's been so long since you've said my name, shared your love.
I'm not getting answers from above.

White roses lay in light as they wilt and die.
No water near, dear, and so their petals dry.

So long - so long to those lies.
I'm awake, I'm alone. I guess this place is my home. 
Oh, it's been so long since you've said my name, shared your love.
I'm not getting answers from above.

I thought I used to dread coming home.
Now I come to a place I don't know.

Light

dontknow! (feat B1benn)

This song is the first love-song I've wrote in a long time, and it's arguable whether or not it's a love song.

The core idea of the song is that I'm content with my life, and where and who I am. We all want to find a partner, someone with whom we can share our life experiences. In my quest for finding love, I won't compromise on myself.

So, I'll be here - and you can join me, or not. But you'll know where to find me...

--

I'll sit and wait up here - I like to watch the waves disappear.
I'm sure I'll find you up here my dear - those lost in thought seem to be drawn here.
Is it the light the from the bay? A certain beauty that makes this simple place.
I just hope I find you here so we can watch the waves disappear.

Hold tight, hold tight to my hand.
A night like this might be our last stand.
This place is hard to find - so I want to be left behind. 

What do you want to do? ...want to do...
Do you want to go?
I plan to stay, and I can't be swayed.
I love the view. It's up to you. ...love the view, this place makes the perfect home.
This place makes the perfect home...together and alone.

It's too loud to go back. I'd much rather wait from here.
I like the lights of the shoreline and the sound from the pier.
There's a path to somewhere new, but I've never wanted to go far.
I'm sure there's life and love to find, but I feel this place in my heart.

Hold tight, hold tight to my hand.
A night like this might be our last stand.
This place is hard to find - so I want to be left behind. 

What do you want to do? ...want to do...
Do you want to go?
I plan to stay, and I can't be swayed.
I love the view. It's up to you. ...love the view, this place makes the perfect home.
This place makes the perfect home...together and alone.

Lyrics:
there's no doubt about where home is now.
following the lines on your wrist as you seek out your bliss - but for now
it's about how you feel, how you think, how you tried to keep it buried deep
but you're out of time, you're out of luck.
you tried all you could but no one's giving a fuck.

skip your first stone and count the ripples
what changes have cascaded with all the waves you created.
skip your first stone and count the ripples
what changes have cascaded from all the wounds you created.

there's no doubt, you're here now. (you are where you're left without)
without consideration to the proper attire for such a dire situation now.
the stones are heavier now.
you keep on throwing them out, hoping it'll sorten things out
but it's not that easy you see, and what's been obvious to me
the stones you're digging out are memories you're trying to drown.

skip your first stone and count the ripples. 
what changes have cascaded with all the waves you've created?
skip your first stone and count the ripples.
what changes have cascaded from all the wounds you've created?

skip your first stone, your drowning stone.
(bad ass solo by Mr. Wyatt Wilson)

skip your first stone and count the ripples. 
what changes have cascaded with all the waves you've created?
skip your first stone and count the ripples. 
what changes have cascaded from all the wounds you've created?

skip your last stone, you're drowning stones.
