1.	I Trip When I Hop 03:47	lyrics	buy track
And When I wake Up I feel a hankering Cuz when I see us There is no hope to win The perch our feet on Oh it starts to slip And I Won't Need To Do Or Think Or Feel An Y Thing Feel An Y Thing I Won't Need To Do Or Think Or Feel An Y Thing Feel An Y At all Dampened handprints Dancing on the walls They tell me All that I know And all that I've willed them To keep Kingdom glory I can't seem to hear Up on high Come and go No pleasure here
2.	Ghost Deck 04:05	lyrics	buy track
My ship is lost at sea Bound to your gentle breeze And though I have no cards in this game I don't mind at all Because where you go I will come And even though I drift and float directionless and can't denote I know Why mistrust the guide if that guide is you I know that you didn't mean to But I am feeling tired I've been on this deck for quite a while
3.	Deep White Sunset 05:00	lyrics	buy track
Without a pass or filter The window into rock The glass it scatters stilted And into freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom We fly we fly we fly we fly Cuz it's been a long time So why don't you be mine And together we fight If possible we might Get lost in this heat light And drift into deep white And scream Just scream Screamscreamscreamscreamscreamscreamscream Without a pass or filter The window into rock The glass it scatters stilted And into freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom We fly we fly we fly we fly Oh I think we are Such great lengths from the start Our bearings feel so stark And I The rest of life

5.	Lethargy 06:14	lyrics	buy track
How bright you've shone Do not atone We'll wonder together, alone How bright you've shone Do not atone We'll wonder together, alone Below We roam The Meadow How could you have known? How could you have known? How could you have known? What do you guard? Rather what for? The plans that you hide Don't live here in bliss Anymore So come bask here in ardor Precarious little force We're waiting for you How bright you've shone Do not atone We'll wonder together, alone How bright you've shone Do not atone We'll wonder together, alone Below We roam The Meadow How could you have known? How could you have known? How could you have known? The locks been undone The gate opens up You've grasped at the cusp What comes next is anyones guess, but be assured Now and forevermore Your worth won't be ignored The world needs you

7.	Once Hidden, Now Faded Away 05:09	lyrics	buy track
Hosea Medea Lutea Aliyah Purpurea Europea Once was hidden Now it fades away Will you wait? Once was hidden Now fades away Will you wait? For me? I need to be For-, Forever Boreal Unending Fire My child Untamable and burning bright In the absence of the mind

about

It’s hard to accurately pin down where exactly the music on this album came from. I’m not entirely sure which part of me brought these songs to life or which part of me had the creative drive to do so. What I do know is that this obsession that I have with music and the burning desire to create, was a result of many years of listening and learning. Not listening or learning about songwriting/what makes a song good/technical aspects of production etc. Rather, listening and learning during my formative years. Discovering that initial spark back when I was 15 and having that work directly in tandem with what I was learning about myself.

This album comes about during a pretty tumultuous period in my life. I was writing and recording the album this past spring semester of my freshman year in college. Nothing but my laptop, a recording kit I borrowed from a school club, and all the cliche freshman feelings any average person is bound to have. It’s hard to put into words the feeling of making and sharing music. I just feel grateful that I’m in a position to do so. Thank you so much to anyone who listens to this album. Music is humanities magic.
