(for my Anna, Feb 2016) 

Light starts to break away from the shadows
Pull down the shade, dreams soon will follow

Let’s brave the stormy weather
Let’s go get lost at sea
Let’s run away from here 
Together you and me
If day fades into darkness and if I cannot see
To where the roads may take us that’s where I’ll want to be
Because when I am with you
when I am with you 
I am home

One endless sky beyond the horizon
Open your eyes, love lives forever

Let’s brave the stormy weather
Let’s go get lost at sea
Let’s run away from here 
Together you and me
If day fades into darkness and if I cannot see
To where the roads may take us that’s where I’ll want to be
Because when I am with you
when I am with you 
And when the day is through
I’ll be here with you 
I am home

2nd track for 2016
independent music

surrender


there's a calm in the changing weather
there's a spark in a midnight sun
in the warmth of a glowing ember
grows a fire where there once was none

on a path of smoke and mirrors
chasing shadows down a rabbit hole
in the search for absolution
lies the chance to lose your soul

in the quiet of true surrender
will you run will you wait too long
in the space where your heart lay broken
is the space where your heart grows strong
there's a light shining bright inside you
take a step in the dark and just let go

and the noise fades into the silence
as the walls are closing in
a requiem for a story's ending
and in the end is where you'll begin
there's a light shining bright inside you
close your eyes take a step and just let go

there's a storm raging in the distance
a tear drop in the desert rain
and you grapple with your demons
as the ghosts of the past remain

And in this place of fear and longing
beats a heart like a rising sea
every breath every moment endless
every sound flowing into me

Surrender

black flag

another black flag burning silently against the wind
we're racing to the end but when we get there where do we begin

we tried so hard to understand
and drank the desert from the sand
we're crying out but it's not enough

an echo whispering starts to turn the signal into noise
we try to make a sound shouting out into an endless void

the mirror's waiting in the glass
reflect the future from the past
and watch the image play on and on

build the wall up send it crashing down
tear it all up falling to the ground
build the wall up send it crashing down
tear it all up tear it all up

a spiraling of stars burning out and fading into night
we're rising with the dawn staring out and reaching for the light 

and now we've drawn the battle lines
fight for the chance to live and die
we close our eyes, breathe in and let go

and in the infinite shadow of a solitary spark
we're brighter than the sun
after searching blindly in the dark 

our hopes & fears we'll set them free
the crashing waves, a raging sea
and hear the sound of one beating heart

Oblivion

i feel the pressure sinking in
and i implode, vapid as i lose control
the static silence deafening
if i let go, nothing left to save my soul

these are the hands 
that fire away
oblivion
this is the joke
that kills in the name
oblivion

breathe in the blackened atmosphere
under the skin
arctic fire creeping in
a crimson sky now shimmering
the lights explode
far above and down below

Oblivion

Reactor

you live inside the disillusionment
of wars, religion & your government
you run the race but only time will tell
and leave behind the pieces as they fell

you drift along alone and circumspect
controlled by influence and intellect
and dusk has fallen when will you begin
to cross the oceans when your ship comes in

i just want to start a chain reaction
jump into the fire, release my soul
shout into the dark awake the silence
start the countdown and lose control

within the alchemy of will and fate
between abstractions of your fear and hate
you listen to the beating of the heart
and all the spaces where we tear apart

you’re bound by consequence or circumstance
a random traveller in a game of chance
into the darkness blind and unafraid
revealing light until the shadows fade

signal fire - rayyn

asleep now in the fire
learning to let go
yearning to let go

adrift in your desire
choosing all control
losing all control

and i'll send up a signal fire
to lead your way back home
to lead your way back home

illusion by design
only your fear could know
the shadows in the snow

assimilate and die
silence and overthrow
enemy or foe

and i'll send up a signal fire
to lead your way back home
to lead your way back home

Signal Fire

a rush of blood to the head - rayyn

weightless i go over the edge
drowned out by the noise in my head
silent as i pray for release
wake the fear to feed the disease

and the lights come crashing down
racing adrenaline
like a rush of blood
rush of blood
rush of blood to the head

running blind and lost in the dark
all transmission breaking apart
blackout dissipates in the air
anti-matter falling nowhere

RAYYN
