Lyrics:

Run as fast as you can
Make your escape

Fly as high as you can
From this cage

I just want you to believe
I AM is you and me
The El-ement inside

It's all coming back from me
Yes I can finally see
We can fly

Highyehyehyehyehyehyeh
Ommmm 
Ommmm

We can flyehyehyehyehyeh
Home 
Ommmm

Run as fast as you can
Make your escape

Fly as high as you can
From this cage

I just want you to believe
I AM is you and me
The El-ement inside

It's all coming back from me
Yes I can finally see
We can fly

Highyehyehyehyehyehyeh
Ommmm 
Ommmm

We can flyehyehyehyehyeh

Vitality

It's taken all these lives
To find
It's taken far too long

I know why we try
It's alright
Living under the Sun

Look into the sky
We are One

Look in through your eyes
A Sun shines bright
It's making a brand new psalm

Look through the clear blue sky
You will fly
Eternal One
We are One

We fly
Under the Sun
Inside
Under the Sun
This Light
Under the Sun
We Cry
Under the Sun
We fly
Under the Sun
Inside
Under the Sun
We fight
Under the Sun
We cry...

Once I heard the tracks, I immediately thought 1970 :-) The more I listened to it I started pulling tons of artists out of the riffs and wanted to bring these influences out the most: Stevie Nicks, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Tina Turner with hints of Nirvana and Macy Gray for the modern bridge.

I really wanted to bring out the Live feel with the drums. There's no better feeling than being at a show center stage and feeling the kick drum decompress your lungs lol :-D

I like to tinker at first to get a base idea of what I want out of the spectrum and then I line the kick drum out. The kick drum gives me a good reference for the bass guitar and tom frequencies which gives me a cornerstone to assist in mixing guitars and vocals.

The only restrictions I came across were my monitors and my own ears. I had problems with both as I do every track lol I had to take breaks and come back to check my mix more so than usual but, I like how it turned out and enjoyed the learning experience :-)

Thanks for the opportunity here. Hope you guys and gals enjoy! <3

Lyrics:

All I remember are lost memories, 
All I taste is defeat. 
Don't let your dreams keep you awake, 
Look at your eternal timeline, 
To see where you are today.

Life's been Eternal, 
There's no stopping here. 
Don't be afraid, 
Stop running from your fears.

I feel like I'm invisible, 
Like I've been cleared. 
Take me to the end, 
To a place where no one's been. 
Interpreting my morality, 
This Virtue that's inside of me. 
I scream again.

Life's been Eternal, 
There's no stopping here. 
Don't be afraid, 
Stop running from your fears.

Life, Lies, 
Are Eternal.
