Lyrics:
My mind is floating on a sea of "running out of time".
I survive, barely getting good at barely getting by.

And our heart has spoken, but you see the words are broken.
You can't take another day.
Set aside dreams of wealth, your way of life, and mental health.
You Don't hear a word I say.

Fall out from the navigation and a proper destination, pushing it aside.
Pause, rewind, reflect, refine. It doesn't work that way.

And our heart has spoken, but you see the words are broken.
You can't take another day.
Set aside dreams of wealth, your way of life, and mental health.
You don't hear a word I say. You won't listen anyway.

It was wrong from the start.
Add it up and multiply. Set the bar, I'm still not getting by.

And our heart has spoken, but you see the words are broken.
You can't take another day.
Set aside dreams of wealth, your way of life, your sense of self.
You don't hear a word I say.
Stack them up on broken walls. Throw the stones and watch them fall.

You don't hear me, you won't listen, I can't take another day.

Pause, Rewind

Counting days of static gain, where all is lost, but stays the same
And I can't help you with my name.
All the points in between, fill with hope and gasoline.
Let's burn it down with alcohol and nicotine.

We were young and full of hope, but that was long ago I'm on my way.
Fortunes change and so have I, it's getting worse.....why should I try.

Capsize the battleship of lost ambition
The current side of alibies we left behind.
And the thought of gravity, the silence of obscurity,
It's weighing in on everything, and who and when to be.

We were young and full of hope, but that was long ago I'm on my way.
Fortunes change and so have I, it's getting worse.....why should I try.
Loosing ground and piece of mind. A dead end road I might just leave behind.

I might just leave it all behind
Praise the better days that pass us by.

How Do You Sleep? [John Lennon Cover]

Time dies

Can't feel my touch or the lust inside of me, am I drying ?, like a dead tree
Why am I so hard, my mouth is so dry, I can´t even see , my brain is branchin out of me and dying

I feel my nerves are growing branches out of me
Its like that they dont know what´s my place on earth

I feel my nerves are coming out of my brain

My mouth gets dry, my hair falls out
What´s this disease
Is Fear of the dark taking over me

Time dies

Can't feel my touch or the lust inside of me, am I drying ?, like a dead tree
Why am I so hard, my mouth is so dry, I can´t even see , my brain is branchin out of me and dying

I feel my nerves are growing branches out of me
Its like that they dont know what´s my place on earth

I feel my nerves are coming out of my brain

My mouth gets dry, my hair falls out
What´s this disease
Is Fear of the dark taking over me

Will I ever reconsile my soul
will I ever be the same I was
I can´t even recognize myself
Should I keep myself away from you

Away from you
Away from you
Away from you

Time dies

Paper Crown & Violet Skies is an alternative rock journey through heartbreak, rebellion, nostalgia, darkness, and hope. Across 10 tracks, Lucidelusions blends raw emotion with anthemic choruses and vivid storytelling — from the vulnerability of Tattooed on My Heartbeat to the explosive rage of Burn It Down Before Dawn, the haunting echoes of Hollow Cathedral, and the redemptive light of Leave the Lights On.

For transparency: the vocals and melodies on this album were generated using Suno, but every lyric, every theme, and every concept was written by me, line by line. While I use AI as a tool to bring these songs to life, I hold deep respect for true musicians, songwriters, and performers whose artistry inspires me. This album is my way of expressing creativity within my means, and a tribute to the music that shaped me.

Whether you connect with the raw anger, the nostalgic reflection, or the hope that carries through to the end, I hope Paper Crown & Violet Skies speaks to something inside you. Thank you for listening.

Paper Crown

Strut like a king with a kingdom of dust
Every word you spit is rust
Silver tongue but your throne won’t hold
Fragile hands on fool’s gold

Cardboard walls are caving in
Hear the echo wearing thin

You wear a paper crown, it’s burning down
Every lie you built comes crashing now
Your kingdom’s just a game you played for show
Paper crown, yeah, we all know

You hide behind the mask you made
But even plastic cracks and fades
Castle walls are spray-paint thin
We’re all waiting for the end

Cardboard walls are caving in
Hear the echo wearing thin

You wear a paper crown, it’s burning down
Every lie you built comes crashing now
Your kingdom’s just a game you played for show
Paper crown, yeah, we all know

All your power’s made of tape and string
Your empire’s nothing — watch the ashes sing

You wear a paper crown, it’s burning down
Every lie you built comes crashing now
Your kingdom’s just a game you played for show
Paper crown, yeah, we all know

Paper Crown

Blues-rock meets arena soul. “Veins of Gold” blends Aerosmith grit with Bon Jovi uplift: Hammond organ shimmer, call-and-response guitars, and a chorus that hits like headlights on a wet highway. Lyrically, it’s about finding value in the scars—the alchemy of pain to purpose. A tasteful slide solo seals the deal.

Veins of Gold

This is my new, and possibly final, album. I consider it the best work I've ever done and if I never make another album I would be happy to say that it all ended on this particular note.

Though I obviously have my own distinct sound and musical identity, I would say that major inspirations during my recording of this album would be David Bowie's Blackstar, Peter Gabriel's UP and Kate Bush's Ariel...at least in terms of all of those albums being eclectic studies in contrast and juxtaposition. Like those albums, each song has its own set of feelings and meanings and imagery...and I only hope that this album hits anywhere NEAR the level of artistry of those works. My goal is always to take the listener on a journey through dynamic peaks and valleys and leave them feeling well-traveled by the end of the experience. I want the experience to be impacting on deep emotional, intellectual and spiritual levels, and not just be aural wallpaper to serve as a mere backdrop.

I hope I have accomplished that goal, and I hope that people will take the time to actually LISTEN to this album...but that DOES take a certain level of commitment and an actual interest in music as art. If you have that, you may find this work gratifying. Many have said that it takes a couple listens to “get” what I do...and you may find that to be true as well.

I have made this album available on YouTube as a full album video with lyrics for free listening, as a free download on Noisetrade (link in comment below), and as a paid download on Bandcamp (also in comment below). I had planned on making some videos for some of these songs and to roll it out in a more commercial way, but given the times it seems wrong to me to do so. Above all else, I would would like my work to be heard and remembered. If something happens to me, I would like to know that people listened to and enjoyed my work on some level.

Pause, Rewind
