There's a man outside my place
Screaming out in someone’s face
I don’t know, I don’t know what they’re doing
But they woke me up at noon
And the room around me’s spinning
So I took the hair of the dog
Fall asleep for ten more minutes
And get up when the sun goes down

Something’s got to give
This can’t be how I live
Something’s got to give
Mmm

This time around
The colors seem to change
It puts me in the ground
This time around

It’s getting cold again
And I feel it in my bones
All the leaves around are falling
And my self esteem keeps going
Play it up to the sign of the times
As the shrink picks at my mind
She knows that there's a reason
But I won’t let her decide

Something’s got to give
This can’t be how I live
Something’s got to give
Mmm

This time around
The colors seem to change
It puts me in the ground
This time around

Lyrics:
Rain falls on me
And everything i see
I can't lie, i don’t wanna die 

Your bones have turned to dust
It’s hard to adjust 
I’ll sleep in for now

When the sun comes seeds will grow
When the sun comes
When the fence fall down we’ll repair it
When the fence fall down

All i’ve collected 
Will be discarded
It hurts to know it will end

In a century i’ll be gone
Will I meet you if I don't believe in god?
Or just live in my sons head

When the sun comes seeds will grow
When the sun comes
When the fence fall down we’ll repair it
When the fence fall down

When the sun comes seeds will grow
When the sun comes
When the fence fall down we’ll repair it
When the fence fall down

Let it grow, let it grow
I’ve never felt so lonely
Until you found me
And grabbed me by the hand

Let it glow, let it glow
I’ve never left so empty
Until you saw me
And put your arms around me

Let it grow, let it grow
I’ve never felt so lonely
Until you found me
And grabbed me by the hand

Let it glow, let it glow
I’ve never left so empty
Until you

lyrics:
Winter's end
Ice is melting
Like a seed in wet soil
This growing feeling

You say you're losing faith
In everything
Sun is here, sun is here

I hope that you see yourself
The way I see you
You're flowing with the wind
Glowing and dear
I opened the window and saw dandelions
Dandelions, dandelions

Seasons change
Ground is melting
Birds are migrating
My heart is beating

I can see the fear in your eyes
Trembling
Sun is here, sun is here

I hope that you see yourself
The way I see you
You're flowing with the wind
Glowing and dear
I opened the window and saw dandelions
Dandelions, dandelions

I hope you perceive yourself
The way I perceive you
You're flowing with the river
Embraced enchantment
I opened the door and saw dandelions
Dandelions, dandelions

Dandelions, Dandelions

i should've stopped holding things back when there's no guarantee if there's ever a good time to ever show things to the world

things change so quickly, and you may never know where you'll be in a year or two, let alone how the world will be in less than that

..

..

this is a song i made last year, probably one of the only ones I made that is of full-length, and I felt like that was a testament of how life has been these past few years - and perhaps life had finally caught up to me, or I have lost my love for music or both.

i wish i didn't hold back so many of my releases over the years because of short-sighted, ambitious endeavors because i feel like i probably would have improved as an artist way more if i did - a streamline of ideas is way better than the unfulfilled promises, 6 unfinished albums, and friendships lost over the last 10 years.

looking back now, I'm just left frustrated about what could have been - and the lasting impression that this shit isn't worth it anymore. The times caught up to me. All of my internet music heroes are all but gone. The internet music listening scene is no longer how it once was.

I know how brash and embarrassing it is to dump personal garbage onto a piece like this, but I always felt like it was strangely appropriate to the art - I always saw 'keyseeker' as a project, a journal of sorts told by woven stories. I felt like if there was a way to solidify the context in which we create as something we can look back on, we can understand and appreciate things more without falling knee-deep into the cynicism of how the modern audience digests art: there's only 3 ways we take in art these days: masterpiece, mid, trash. And that's the worst way to ever see the world.

I do appreciate y'all for sticking around. It's unfortunate that I still feel so burnt out these days about music and the surrounding community at large - so much so that I hardly listen to much newer music at all.

that being said, I do find this a bit of a cop out for announcing a "new song" when this song was finished for over a year and I just felt like it wasn't good enough. I'll dig up some more older songs and maybe finish some newer ones for a final demo compilation later this year. this will be my last music for a long while. I had so many ideas and stories to share through my music but I personally can't take the pain of lost opportunities, unfinished projects, skill issues, software limitations, and FOMO anymore. i'll be focusing on other things in life after this.

thank you for 10 years of keyseeker. I don't know how else to say this but I really did appreciate everything from everyone. from every message or comment, to every shared experience in between.

I'm sure I lost so many people along the way. But for those unfamiliar, we will end it the same way we started - by quitting when it felt like things had just begun.

.

maybe someday, we will take our place again.
but it's time to take the long path back home.

alchemist's preparation

From the new album "You're Up" releasing on June 2nd

lyrics:
I've been trying to live a peaceful life
But it doesn't work the way I like
I think it's fine

I've been trying to chase it, follow the signs
Trace the steps, walk fast, make it mine
I'm getting tired

On the sky, there’re endless power lines
By my side, there's endless coast line
Looking for unpromised finish line

On the sky, two albatrosses flying
Heart rate is on 199
Looking for unpromised finish line

I keep running and running and running and running
Running and running and run
Until I can't anymore and I will fall behind

I keep running and running and running and running
Running and running and run
Until I can't anymore and you will leave me behind



I've been wanting to live my life care-free
But it always doesn’t work, it seems
 
Like a laboratory guinea pig
Like a curse, a lock without a key

On the sky, there’re endless power lines
By my side, there's endless coast line
Looking for unpromised finish line

On the sky, two albatrosses flying
Heart rate is on 199
Looking for unpromised finish line

I keep running and running and running and running
Running and running and run
Until I can't anymore and I will fall behind

I keep running and running and running and running
Running and running and run
Until I can't anymore and you will leave me behind

I keep running and running and running and running
Running and running and run
Until I can't anymore and I will fall behind

I keep running and running and running and running
Running and running and run
Until I can't anymore and you will leave me behind


Running

The last single from upcoming album "You're Up" releasing on June 2nd.

Lyrics:
Stepping outside
Watching people go on the balcony
Writing about anxiety

In the age of apathy
In the great scheme of things
You are just trying to make ends meet

Dragonflies in the sky
Doing tricks and flybys
I’m after the high, still

Dragonflies in the sky
Doing tricks and flybys
I’m after the high, still

From a pleasure
Now it ended up being a pressure
And everything feels like chores

You've all grown up
Your best friends are not your best friends anymore
You're holding the door for no one

Dragonflies in the sky
Doing tricks and flybys
I’m after the high, still

Dragonflies in the sky
Doing tricks and flybys
I’m after the high, still

Dragonfly
