This song is a homage to 'My Bloody Valentine' and the shoegaze genre.

Lyrics:

When the fires in the sky started moving with the tides
Took my friends out to the shoreline swimming
When the ocean washed away all the worries near the bay
In a year or two we'll see where we can

Going to the depths, secrets that we've kept
Roof of skies that shifts, reef that houses fish

Sigh, sea
Sword, sheath
Shoe, sand
See, sun

When the sun is burning down, sleeping shadows can be found
See the creatures in their salty shallows
When the toes are by the fire, tell me all of your desires
We can stay here for an anchor hanging

Out the wave he jumps, fruits of hands that touch
Ebb & Flow you come, placid colored one

Sigh, sea
Sword, sheath
Shoe, sand
See, sun

The waves come crashing down, drag you under 'till you drown
The waves come crashing down, wear this liquid crown
The waves come crashing down

Down

Sigh, sea
Sword, sheath
Shoe, sand
See, sun

All instruments, voices, drumprogramming and mixing done by me.

Ebb & Flow (Demo)

This is a song about my experiences with burning out.

Lyrics: 
(Chorus)
Oh Overburdened heart
Please let it all go 

(verse 1) 
The pressure has caught up
And pushed the staircase down 
(verse 2)
The lake has dried up  
Now we finally hit the ground 

(Chorus)
Oh Overburdened heart
Please let it all go

Overburdened Heart

lyrics:
The doctor says I shouldn’t worry
But the news tells me something else
Everybody’s going crazy
It’s like the world is standing still

What if it’s only you and me left over
Watching all the colors fade
We’ll run out of funny things to say
So we drink the time away

It’s all right it’s allright
Imma stay inside tonight
It's allright allright
I don’t mind I don’t mind
Staying inside tonight
I’m allright it’s allright

Once had a dream bout the apocalypse
It really changed the frame
Certainty is never certain now
So we wait until another day

lyrics:
i finally feel i finally feel
I found my place to be
with two in one bed drinking what’s left
i finally feel, just like the rest

i never believed in jesus christ
but we’re all looking with the same eyes
looking for feelings, looking for love
find out what’s inside inside your heart

let me tell you something ‘bout the way i felt before
wasn’t easy, wasn’t going, wasn’t in control
let me tell you something ‘bout the way i felt before

cold eyes in the darkness
looking to find what’s honest
cold lies in the darkness
i was looking for you
cold eyes in the darkness
looking to find what’s honest
cold lies in the darkness
i was looking for you in the dark

i’m waking up next to the bottle
that’s when i knew, i was in trouble
you took me in, we made a promise
only happy, only honest
you made me laugh, we made a promise

let me tell you something ‘bout the way i felt before
wasn’t easy, wasn’t going, wasn’t in control
let me tell you something ‘bout the way i felt before

cold eyes in the darkness
looking to find what’s honest
cold lies in the darkness
i was looking for you
cold eyes in the darkness
looking to find what’s honest
cold lies in the darkness
i was looking for you in the dark

I finally see i finally see
And it is right here next to me

lyrics:
FaceTime™
It’s time we, face time
Lonely
 Watching movies on my phoney 
So call me
And show me what you wear today

Cuz I can’t see the beauty of it all
 Can’t see the beauty of it all

Springtime
It’s time we, spring time
 And I call you mine
But why aren’t you around all time 
Doesn’t make me smile

Sunset
I’m feeling the sun set
Phone out 
Watch as if it is the final time 
that you see it go down

  I’ll have the beauty of it all 
The beauty of it all
locked and all alone

I am terribly out of hand
I am waiting for this to end
 I am running from end to end
I lost something I don’t understand

lyrics:
I can hear the church bell ringing 12
I beg a pardon to myself
'cuz I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have to

I would be flying ‘cross land and above the sea
I would feel the ground slipping under me
I guess that you don’t choose what you win or you lose

It’s coming closer
But we’re not flying up

Can we talk about it
Time is not on my side
Can we walk around it
Let these weeks fly by
Can we talk about it
Time is not on my side
And I’m worried tonight

Feeling the chances slip away
Like sand slipping through my fingers
Don’t know how else I could save the day

I’m in the garden digging weeds
Look how my magnolia blooms
There’s nobody left, playing in the streets

It's coming closer
But we're not flying up

Can we talk about it
Time is not on my side
Can we walk around it
Leave these wounds behind

Can We Talk About It? (#5)

lyrics:
Oh up in these mountains, I can 
Hear the wolves howl, I can
 Watch the eagles drifting by
I can almost touch the cloudless sky

Oh up in these mountains, I feel 
Far away from home, I feel
 Far away from all I’ve ever known (known)

Oh up in these mountains, this is my retreat
 This is what I’ve worked for, this is what I need 
& I’ll come climbing up so don’t break me down 

Oh up in these mountains, every step
 Every step gets harder, oh I’m left
With me & my mind, in difficult times

 The sky turned red when I got above the clouds
Of Galileo Galilei 
Oh what a shame I’m leaving here today

Up in these mountains I once
I once got lost, and I once
Learned to wander and I
Learned to love another
X2

Oh I’m lost but I’m moving on
Oh there’s not a rule that’s unbreakable

The sky turned red when I got above the clouds
Of Galileo Galilei 
Oh what a shame I’m leaving here today
