She's a fleeting mistress
But I'm drawn to her core
Wanna merge our stories
Til we’re something more

My heart is a flutter
Cant help but adore

She's a fleeting mistress
But I'm drawn to her core
Wanna merge our stories
Til we’re something more

Struck by the wonder
My jaw's on the floor
But before I can muster
A word she's out the door

My heart is a flutter
Cant help but adore

She's a fleeting mistress
But I'm drawn to her core
But before I can muster
A word she's out the door

0009 Fleeting Mistress [Bonus Track]

You don't know me
yet I want to know you
There's so many
things to say and do

Do you fare
well on this night
I would chance
Your soul is bright
Would you share
A rare delight
Would you dance 
with me tonight

Losing ourselves in 
the waves of sounds
I want to lose myself
with you around

Losing ourselves in 
the waves of sounds
I want to lose myself
with you around

With You Around (2)

Peanut Butter Cup

Sharing time with you
Like an evening breeze
Washing away the heat
With pleasant tease

Break the boundaries so that we
Can create a whole reality
Chains that held us, shall we
Take back from propriety

Raking my memories
Loving what we made
Hoping, wishing, please,
Let we live to see better days

If I could I'd shoot the breeze
Just to make you smile
If it were possible, I would
Walk or go any mile

Walking between layers 
Fight through the mist
Wishing I could court you
Ask your hobbies, kiss

Break the boundaries so that we
Can create a whole reality
Chains that held us, shall we
Take back from propriety

Raking my memories
Loving what we made
Hoping, wishing, please,
Let we live to see better days

If I could I'd shoot the breeze
Just to make you smile
If it were possible, I would
Walk or go any mile

Walking between layers 
Fight through the mist
Wishing I could court you
Ask your hobbies, kiss

Break the boundaries so that we
Can create a whole reality
Chains that held us, shall we
Take back from propriety

Sharing time with you
Like an evening breeze
(Washing away the heat
With pleasant tease)

Walking between layers 
Fight through the mist
Wishing I could court you
Ask your hobbies, kiss

Break the boundaries so that we
Can create a whole reality
Chains that held us, shall we
Take back from propriety

Sharing time with you
Like an evening breeze
Washing away the heat
With pleasant tease

Our Reality (2)

0168 Kipper the Cat

~

Carved into a stone
We must take up space
In order to live
Where else is our place

It takes a village
Oh to survive
It takes a village
On both sides 

In this tethered life,
Burdens Bountiful.
Many hands make light
Commitments communal

So someone said freely
We think that if you ask
If you are a burden
You will just need a task

Individuals
Out for themselves
Can't be considerate
Let alone commit
To taking the time
whether to wait in line
Or to smile and nod
For they are too far gone

It takes a village
To keep moving
It takes a village
to survive
It takes a village
for improving
Costs and benefits
on both sides

So someone said freely
 freely
We think that if you ask
 if you ask
If you are a burden
you
 if you ask
If you are a burden
You will just need a task

It takes a village
to imp
pra- proving
It takes a village
to serve
ve- vive
It takes a village
for improving
Costs and benefits
on both sides

Takes A Village

~

They walk in circles
 but never see
Blind to the chaos
 they choose to be
Their hands build fires
 they can’t contain
I watch it all and
 feel the strain

They laugh at shadows
 that scream too loud
Dance in the wreckage
Heads unbowed
I reach for words
They slip like sand
A bitter taste I
 can’t withstand

I’m mad
I’m sad
I’m breaking apart
The weight of watching
 tears my heart
They harm
They burn
They won’t refrain
And here I am going
 a little insane

Their echo chambers
A deafening hum
My heart wavers
Their laughs are numb
I feel the dreamers
dying in our young
The least I can do 
is
provide a light 
to some

How do you save what
 won’t be saved
When their own choices
 dig their graves
It’s like a dream that
 twists and falls
A maze of mirrors with
 winding halls

I’m mad
I’m sad
I’m breaking apart
The weight of watching
 tears my heart
They harm
They burn
They won’t refrain
And here I am going a
 little insane

I’m mad
I’m sad
I’m breaking apart
The weight of watching
 tears my heart
They harm
They burn
They won’t refrain
And here I am going a
 little insane

Spirits of the Tides

~

Whispers loud in the midnight glow
Shadows stretch but I won't let go
A thousand paths but only one me
Which way is freedom which way’s the key

My heart's a compass spinning wild
Each step’s a storm each choice a trial

I rise like fire I burn I blaze
Through the chaos through the haze
Hands are trembling but they hold tight
I own the dark I spark the light

Every turn feels like a maze
Choices screaming in electric waves
Fear's a mirror but I stare it down
The weight of the world can’t make me drown

I’m breaking through I’m bending steel
Every crack shows what’s real

I rise like fire I burn I blaze
Through the chaos through the haze
Hands are trembling but they hold tight
I own the dark I spark the light

I rise like fire I burn I blaze
Through the chaos through the haze
Hands are trembling but they hold tight
I own the dark I spark the light

Rise Like Fire

~Thought of love in my heart~
Bi/NB/Poly/Agnostic
There is beauty in all. I work with AI generated music and art. We create pop, rock, punk, folk, bops, ballads, shanties, bangers, etc. Through it elements of violin, Celtic vibes, jazz, and alternative, as well as influences from electric swing, edm, shoegaze, chill ambient instrumentals, and avoiding constant drum beats.

Generating music may be the new thing, but I feel no lack of authenticity in this. It may not be just my own, but nothing exists without learning from what came before.
