Rex Theme 04:53
lyrics

You are traveling in cyclical motion You are traveling in cyclical motion Orbiting the world Orbiting the world Orbiting in cyclical motion Orbiting in cyclical motion Orbiting It’s all a lie But I’ll get by Next time I fall Down down down down Spin around your faces like you do Every day so gracefully Imagine someone holding you To rescue this time and space I know it’s sad sad sad Not in this life I no longer weep To see We’ll see me Who I can be Wherever you sleep tonight I sleep in your heads Clouded by the love we cannot feel against the love we can Are you confused yet? Are you confused? Are you confused yet? Are you confused? Are you confused yet? Are you confused? Are you confused yet? Are you confused? Are you confused yet? Are you confused? Orbiting my world Are we alive? Orbiting my world Speak my lies More than chords Does this make you cry?

Blurred Photographs 05:06

There is an empty house in some town Where we might still go if we’re down I would be there if nothing changed I would be there if I didn’t blame you For me And everybody sees me cry And everybody says goodbye Goodbye Goodbye I tried There is an empty silence Can you hear it screaming violence? And I can’t stop the sadness raining diamonds And you can taste the shame I never sung For me And everybody sees me cry And everybody says goodbye Goodbye Goodbye I tried to lie inside There is an empty house in some town Where we might go if we’re down I would be there if nothing changed I would be there if I didn’t blame you For me And everybody sees me cry And everybody wonders why You still let me sing you to sleep You still let me Sing you to sleep

Truth is youth And I’m running out of both I want to let go Let someone else hold Bring me a cup of heated tears To cure me with your love sincere I stay up nights waiting for her When will she come My only one With sonic dissipation I attempt to overpower the sun I am calling her I am calling her Through telephone lines I scream To tell the lies of dreams In which boys are good And girls are too And love is real And love is true Screaming across ocean wave We change the stations we once obeyed Screaming across ocean wave We change the stations we once obeyed C’mon Through telephone lines I scream To tell the lies of dreams Lying alone in a circle of sound Trying to free those who are bound I am calling her I am calling her I am calling her I am calling I am calling her I am calling I am calling I am calling her I am calling I am calling her I am calling her

The Making Of 03:14
lyrics

If our pictures ever fade We’ll make sure to taint Those old memories Who made Sometimes you just need to get away Far from this place Where can we go for shame? I want to see you believe See you believe The child you’d conceive Could be peace I wanted to be you and me So naive Lover until faith rooted Ancient sycamores From my biblical foundations Nothing still since winter ended With cold hearts Not befriended I want to see you believe See you believe The child you deceive Once was me We want to be You and me So naive

Take your hands off your ears Feed me into your fears You say I’m too sad Well, if you’re scared of my shadow You’ll be amazed By what you’d taste Turn me up until you can hear my flaws It doesn’t take much volume at all You’ll be amazed By what you’d taste I am the train Electric rain I shame the rays Of Eden’s gates If you’re still awake You’re the promise I make: Take me home And you’ll feel so alone It’s magic How a boy can make these songs It’s a stupid trick I hope I’m making you sick But, but you’d better be singing along You’ll be amazed By what you taste I am your train Electric pain I came and played And the echo stained If you’re still awake You’re the promise I make Take me home And you’ll feel so alone I am the train Electric rain Take me home In your headphones If life will show Her ugly face I will fight for you Your electric lights in tune To electric notes And secret chords And all you need Is in my dream So listen carefully I’ll give you everything

Night after night We wish upon a star so bright Night after night You sigh No one’s around to hear your love die No one’s around to hear you cry Night after night, you sacrifice And I Night after night, want to fly Where no one’s around to hear my love die No one’s around to hear you cry I want to be your lover I wish I had another chance before my passion goes away I want to be in love I want to be in love
I want to be in love I want to be in love No one’s around to hear my love die No one’s around to hear me cry

More Than Art 04:15
lyrics

I am resented By those I defended They don’t need my lead To find their shade trees To hide ’til the war has ended Nothing much is left Above my empty bed Sleeping alone sleeping alone sleeping alone No lyrics to be written No words to be sung To tears to be hidden No slip of the tongue No soul to whisper sorry to No mind to listen to the metaphysical filters of confusion Running through my head Nothing is much is left Above my empty bed Where I inserted I bled They forgot what what I had said The world is so beautiful In my heart Painted tears But we wonder if it’s more than art More than art

Anyone 03:53

I don’t want anyone else Since I can’t be with you I don’t want anyone else Since I can’t be with you Say you need me Say you need me alone Cause I’m alone I don’t want to take your advice Since you think I don’t need you You don’t know that you get me high When our connection is true Say you need me Say you need me alone Maybe I could be like you to me Maybe my life will heal Maybe I am meant to do what other men do “Love” will be the end to one last letter sent to you I don’t want anyone else Since I can’t have you You’re the world to me I don’t want anyone else since I can’t have you Come home with me I don’t want anyone else since I can’t have you Come home with me You’re all I need

Nothing can make you change your mind Maybe you think you’ve run out of time Baby, I need clarity soon ‘Cause I need sincerity too Come down from the top of the wall You climbed up too far Now I’m scared you might fall I don’t care I don’t care You can pick either side ‘Cause either way Either way, I’m still gonna cry Your thoughts, like music in me Play in my head when I go to sleep I’ll take my time I’ve got nothing to lose Except you Except you Except you Come down from the top of the wall You climbed up too far Now I’m scared you might fall I don’t care I don’t care You can pick either side ‘Cause either way Either way, I’m still gonna cry Come down from the top of the wall You climbed up too far Now I’m watching you fall I don’t care I don’t care You can pick either side ‘Cause either way Either way, I’m still gonna cry

After Midnight 06:27

Two souls intertwined Twisted around each other You hope that you’ll be mine Forever perfect lovers My poetry sings you to sleep As I rock to the rhythm of your heartbeat Is this real? Half awake If I stay Will you take my heart Don’t lie to me as you try to sleep Just cry if you need to Let go of your deep entangled wires that no one understands Except the soul who holds your hand Your quiet exit takes me to tears For once to hear your voice from so near The world becomes a dream I hide my eyes And we fall into night Never been so alive Is this real? Half awake If I stay Will you take my heart Goodnight, my stars The music of my love Goodbye to the show Off to rest after forgetting the words Goodnight to the serenading song I will only dream of Goodnight my secret love My every light My mirror Is this real? Half awake If you stay Would you play your part? Is this real? Half awake If I gave my song My song away You are all I need Every day If my gaze was worth the wait Then I’ll be here in the morning In the morning And we will still be singing Goodnight

about

Retold stories from long ago. This album contains old songs I wrote when I was a very young adult. These were previously recorded using early 2000's music software and a college student's hardware budget. This re-recording is a hobby project of mine I took on to help me stay sane during the difficult recent years. I selected the songs that I felt should have been heard by others and gave them the extra polish modern software and improved consumer recording tools can provide.
