featuring musican @GloomIsOkay on guitar. 



Ambience of Sound & Motion (featuring Gloom Is Okay)

Spoken Word by: Michael Leonard
Written and Produced by: Nicholas Pavoni

Spoken Word:
Her betrayal turned love to poison
His heart now tainted with the thought of madness
It burns like a brush fire in a field of lust
His sanity escapes with every breath
His mind, the only safe haven for him to hide
This is the tale of turmoil..

Prologue (The Beginning)

Contains samples and elements of "Turmoil" by Xenoc

Written by: Aaron Zafran
Produced by: Nicholas Pavoni

Lyrics:
Intro:
Turmoil
She creeps into your veins (x2)

V1:
He can remember being young and unprepared
Restless nights that left a vacuum in his head
With nothing else to fill the silence he must bear
Lying all alone til you hear the voices
and they said....

CH:
Turmoil
She creeps into your veins
Another world
Overtaking all the sane
Eyes of oil
Can't resist her selfish gaze
Endless toil
Cerebrally rearranged (x2)

Turmoil (featuring Xenoc)

Vocals and lyrics by: Chris Volz
Additional vocals by: Anthony Grisko
Produced by: Nicholas Pavoni
Mastered by: Alex Fooks

(vocals recorded at Lil Louie C Studios in South Philadelphia, PA) 

Lyrics:

V1
Create a distance,
Resistance to compromise
Hold back indifference
Delinquent, it’s no surprise

Just go after something,
Try harder, look deep inside
Mind over matter,
It’s the only way you realize

CH.
Blistered and burning
The feeling is keeping me
up, up, up, up, (x2)
You’ll never learn
And you’re taking it higher and
up, up, up, up, (x2)

Blistered and burning
The feeling is keeping me
 up, up, up, up, (x2)
No, you’ll never learn
And you’re taking it higher and
up, up, up, up, (x2)

V2.
It’s all around you,
Engulfing, it’s everywhere
It feels like choking,
But still you can find me there

I know an answer
To clear up this smoky air
Just walk right through it
The fastest way to get you there

BR.
As your skin hits the air
Temperatures rising
As your soul is to bare
In need of confiding

If you even still care
Help me put out the fire (x2)

CH:
(repeat)

The once was is now no more

And each side is eager to win

But who will turn out the victor?

(Yeah)
And start the healing

V3:
Let me go, or let me know
Why you won't, why you don't
Just release me, it's so easy
You don't need me, please believe me
If I could breathe I'd be screaming
If I could sleep I'd dream of leaving
Do I fight for freedom, or fight the feeling? 

CH (alt): 
(repeat)

coming up empty
I wanna get fired
not ungrateful 
ready to retire

my life's waiting for me
waiting for me outside
in my Mazda Miata baby
I wanna get fired 

have one, two three
better things to do
than stand here all dry
you left me hanging out to dry

coming up empty 
i wanna get fired
I'm not ungrateful baby
to anyone
I want to retire

my life's waiting for me
waiting for me outside 
the cars still running
running and I'm waiting now
to be hung to out to dry

 V1:
Too many problems to understand
Equal to apologies, she counted on one hand
Love lost never found, buried in the ground
Shackled to attachment, chains to which I'm bound
It's like a nightmare, Night terror Waking up in a sweat
Dreaming that you're next to me I wake up and I check
Nope

Just another hopeful delusion my mind's always playing tricks with such a perfect execution
But one of these walls has to give
I can't live my life in a box forever rid of my longterm long lost love I once had
A bushel of good apples and one had to turn bad like shit
Man I think this plane is going down
I'm no pro in aviation but the pilot ain't around and defiance is the sound
Ringing so clear
Swear to god the audio is flossing through both ears

Now these times are dark out in the cold counting souls simply searching for a spark
Hand me that little lighter ignite up a broken heart
Sitting here thinking we should've done it from the start

CH:
Lyrical translation:
Gesi bağlarında dolanıyorum
> i'm wandering in Gesi Vineyards,
Yitirdim yarimi
> I've lost my lover,
Aman aranıyorum
> Oh I seek. 

V2:
Thinkin' you won't go was a poor premise
Now I'm seeking what long ago has been forfeited
Used to give me your heart with bows with a corset twist
Now all I get is a harsh hello and hordes tension
But you won't take my apology if the Lord said it
Truth I can't remember how long ago that remorse was pitted
It's only fightin' of what's s'posed to be cordial visits
Yet I'm in here yelling "Geronimo" as I forward flip in

And still you find a hole in all my defense
She was capitalizing on my one moment of weakness
We fight, exchange words you started goin on B fits While I'm sittin 
Thinkin' you'll come home and we'll tweak this
Three years...
It's like all the goodness came and it just went
If I got it all back then I wouldn't trade it for nothin'
I'll never get to show love that I could have blanketed us in
Damn...I shoulda been more of the things I wasn't

•LYRICS
Introduction:
What is this
This waking life

Spoken Word:
I've seen no hope
Struggle through the day
Is that our purpose? 

The denial that they sell you a fantasy
They sell you a dream
That dream sounds so appealing

Verse 1: 
Lost in all this anger 
Silence in this space
Reaching deep down 
I've seen no hope throughout the day
Is that our purpose
Does time just pass us by (x2)
(So tell me)

Chorus:
What is this waking life
And how are we to overcome (Can we find the answer)
Is there some notion
Within all this commotion

Verse 2:
What is this waking life?
What is this?
What is this waking life

Things were better then
Things are always better when
Baby, you can say, "Those were the days"

Lyrics:
Give me one warm thought
I Just want warm thought 
I'll make it last 
In colder nights
I'll make it last through lonely times

I'll ride your paradigm
Wrap your lies around me 
Just hold me good and tight
When we say good night

Please let me go (x2)

Every season changes
The world it rearranges
And here we are
Here we are
There's nothing in your eyes (You're moving)
There's nothing in your eyes (so smooth again)

We fade away (I'm losing)
We fade away (I'm giving in)
