<3 on Hype Machine: http://hypem.com/track/24ans/Stereoshock+-+Stereoshock-+The+Letter

'The Letter' is a musical story about a protagonist, who leaves his family in order to regain a sense of direction in his life. However, through out his travels, he realizes that time is not always the best resolution. This record represents a valuable life lesson, and provides us with a greater understanding of the power that time truly holds. Life around us will move on, whether we choose to participate in it or not. 

'The Letter' is Composed, Produced, Written, and Mixed by, Stereoshock. 
Cellphone Call Voiced By: Tiffany Hartman

Lyrics:

~Intro~

I'm Writing You This Letter
To Let You All Know I'm Leaving

I'm Just At The Point Where
I don't know who I am, and where I want to go...

I'll be back, I promise

Love you all, J
---
~Phone Call Break~

Hey, please come home soon..we miss you
-----
~Conclusion Verse~

To Whoever Finds This:

Time did move on the day I left

We live in a world where we're programmed to speak
…as if we're afraid to be forgotten.

But along this journey we call life
We sometimes forget who we are, and lose perspective on reality

We all put up a facade; skewing the way the world views us
but how does it feel when you can see through your own reflection

When you're forced to stay in the darkness
Because you're pained by the shadow that you cast on the world

The last unanswered piece of my letter, is one I'l hold with me forever

Does time heal all, or is it Just..Running..Out..

<3 On Hype Machine: http://hypem.com/track/251jj/Stereoshock+-+The+Messenger

As fog begins to pass through a war-torn town, we come across a man who struggles to find the perspective that he once held during his youth. After the loss of a loved one occurs in the story, we gain greater insight on the protagonist's desire to discover a boy who has gone missing. We soon learn that the boy is only a figment of the messenger's imagination. A way for him to cope with the loss of his adolescence, and maintain a connection with the experiences of his past. 'The Messenger' has many perspectives, and I hope you will make your own conclusions about how this story unfolds. 

'The Messenger' is Composed, Produced, Written, and Mixed by, Stereoshock.
----------
Verse 1:

[ I've seen a kingdom fall this year...
Because greed smells like blood to some men ]

[Dense fog and roaring wind casted over our village,
while the beckoning sound of cries and cannons cut through the heavy air]

[At dawn, I was awoken from what appeared to be
the last time I'd ever dream] 

[and the iron-encrusted window from my childhood 
would never bear the same view again]

[I was ordered to deliver a letter,
that I knew would foreshadow nothing but unrest for our province] 

[but it was too late…]

[With every step,
the last remaining footprints of my innocence, would soon be left in the cold soil]

[You know what they say though….
Don't Shoot...The Messenger]
-------------------------------
Interlude (House Scene):

*Cries From Sister*
[Mom..mom no please. Stay with us, please mom, don't die, not here]
-------------------------------
Verse 2:

[Every time I tell my story, 
I often skip over this part] 

[Not because I'm embarrassed of what i've become,
but because of what I've lost in the process] 

[I walked across the bridge, and closed the gate
which had sheltered me from everything I now knew]

[and in the moonlit backdrop,
I looked up at my window for the very last time]

[I'd like to think the boy who left the castle that day, 
is still out their running]

[and I hope he never stops...] 

[Because this boy was the kid in all of us
....And now his message is lost]

~The End~
