It's a happy song. I wrote it, recorded it, then while I was reading the Holy Bible I sort of found most of it in Ecc. 11:7-10. So it almost felt like the Bible stole it from me backwards. But that's okay of course.

"Dream's End" by Tyler James Lewis
Lyrics:
There’s a place where I go when it gets too loud
High above my home, far beneath the clouds	
Where my eyes see clearly and my name isn’t known
Where I feel no fear and I am not alone
Sometimes it makes me sad how all the jetplanes fly
They just pass you by; they just pass you by
There are some people I know though I won’t say their names
And they all do the same; they all do the same
Oh have mercy I plead if I bruise or I bleed
Though I’ll fight through the night if that’s really what you need
Yes I’ll raise my fist like an anarchist
& make the whole world question its orbit
When it’s 5 a.m. and the sun’s still afraid
Of what happened last night; of the mess that was made
I hope your heart is full and my hands are tied
With mine in yours and yours in mine
Oh there’s a place where I go; maybe I’ll take you there
Though the ground moves back with every step I dare
Like the system crashes when the message is sending
Like you suddenly wake up when the dream’s finally ending 
You know the devil came and he called my name
And I said devil don’t you come around here again
You know the devil came and he called my name
And I said devil don’t you come around here again


Dream's End

"Pyrite" by Tyler James Lewis
Lyrics:
I was born
Immersed in the glue of Los Angeles
Cut up and wrapped up in her bandages
Set loose in the world with no name
I was raised
No stranger to desolate places
And a feeling that nothing erases
Some things heal but never stay the same
Your love shimmers then it fades in the starlight
Your love's pyrite and I'm a fool for loving you
I was warned
Those sharks will drag you down
They'll leave you at the bottom to drown
I believed it but I didn't care
I was caged
By their clothes and their colored TVs
Like a dream like a drug a disease
There's no light there's no light there's no air
And your love shimmers then it fades in the starlight
Your love's pyrite and I'm a fool for loving you
You know I walked these streets for many a year
But did I ever stop to notice the heat (No-oh-oh!)
Now these limousines don't look so clean
And this smoke don't smell so sweet
So I'm leaving now I'm getting out of here
To see some trees and breathe some atmosphere
But these chains these chains these chains remain
And the pain (the pain)
I saw this beautiful girl she said come over here
Tell me 'bout your troubles and confess to me your fears
I saw the Milky Way in her ocean gray eyes
And I don't think that I told her what was really on my mind but I thought
Can't tread water in this river
Tell me tell me who can deliver
Can't tread water in this river
Tell me tell me who can deliver
Give me providence--deliverance
Since my genesis I've needed exodus
Give me providence--deliverance
Since my genesis I've needed exodus

Pyrite

This is a song I created about how we sometimes struggle to be straightforward and honest with one another. 
I recorded it at various locations including: the backyard, the garage, the 4Runner, and my room. 
I used my Manuel Rodriguez spanish guitar, my uke, my hands, and my vocal chords. 

Cryptogram

This is a song I recorded several years ago about Mario. It's from the perspective of one of his former customers.
