Elephant And Chain 02:10
lyrics
buy track
She booked a ticket to the show That came to happy town Some balance act caused her to spiral down Driving out some sunny day Kicking dust into your face Elephant and chain She wore the face of her own ghost Passing these empty hours While nibbling at some scarlet half devoured Apple on my window pane The Devil walks on Heroes' Lane Elephant and chain She was still shaking And my heart was breaking too Dream as the rain falls on the coast Another april shower The taste of rotten apples still so sour Conversations with the rain She's not coming back again Elephant and chain She don't even know your name Elephant and chain

Seance 03:34
lyrics
buy track
To be loved for a day Then thrown out and away When it gets a bit late For them to stay A loose cog in a wheel Turning away what is real An outdated machine There's nothing I feel It's okay, I'll stay away The clock in the tower Striking a new wasted hour Face down on the ground I head for a cloud That I left safe with you A secret that only you knew It was all I could do To get through to you It's okay, I'll stay away Things we kept away Under lock and chain All this hopeless pain The ocean swept by (Swept me up and away) A seance was held in the sky I saw shining lights (Shining lights brought the day) Call me to the night I followed their trail (Followed them without fail) The wind gently guiding my sail A morning so pale (And this hope now so frail) This hope now so frail It's okay, I'll leave today

The Moon Tonight 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Somewhere on the road to somewhere I can get away And hide myself in my retreat Somewhere in a dream of times I still recalled your face Till you were taken out of reach The moon tonight is full and bright Hold me tight If I even have a place to find Underneath a shattered sky Somewhere in my self abuse I'm hardly any use To you if love's the word Never knowing how to feel, I'm just an odd recluse Whose words are hardly ever heard The moon tonight is only new It is true That one can't know what depression is Till they've known some happiness Broken eyes dance in the light Now we rise to heathen skies Home to the skies Somewhere on the road to somewhere we can watch the sun Burn out itself once more Till I feel the urge to take another hit for fun The urge to further float offshore The moon tonight is well defined Bear in mind That I love you after all this time Tell me that you will be mine

My Bright Tomorrow 03:09
lyrics
buy track
Tired of dancing to some empty wall of sound I want the sun trapped underground Split like an atom A dimming lantern I'm so alone, please come around Another number etched in bold upon a screen A thought dismembered in a dream Repeating patterns Upon this cavern I'm so alone, please come to me You've taken everything I've made And you've thrown it all away Wasn't useful anyway There is nothing left to say There is nothing left to do She'll take me to the blue Far away from you Tired of being pushed into puddles on the ground From rain that won't stop falling down Drenched in your sorrows My bright tomorrow I'm so alone, please come around You've taken everything I've made And you've thrown it all away Wasn't useful anyway There is nothing left to say There is nothing left to do She'll take me to the blue Far away from you

Midnight Train 02:55
lyrics
buy track
On the midnight train Recollections of a dream that never came Drunken faces stare, expressionless and vain They're all the same Trying to stay awake Before unconsciousness takes me some better place Somewhere nobody will recognize my face And put me to shame You found it easy to disappear As if you were never here And I hoped that you would take me too But it's nothing now to you I'm nothing now to you This bitter blue Sleeping in the park Now I'm just another name upon your chart And you're just another scar upon my heart To leave in the dark

In Your Dreams 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Scratches on the record The same notes on repeat But you still want to play them To everyone you meet You wanted a shoulder To cry on once it stopped For when the sky had dropped you To everyone you're not So go home And hide beneath the sheets Go someplace we've never been Only in your dreams You wanted someone to hold you To keep you safe and sound But now that you've recovered You no longer need me around You need no other lover You no longer need me around So go home Just stay away from me I don't want to cause a scene Only in my dreams So very precious to me You drive me insane Like burning metal, kiss me Out of this misery Kill all this pain Take it away And though nobody told you You deserved to be loved I don't think you'd believe me Yes, I've said it quite enough Though you keep on confusing Your friends for all your foes Caring for abusing And happiness for woes So go home And kill these memories These feelings you don't feel Only in your dreams

Millionaires 02:49
lyrics
buy track
Here's the ghost of Christmas Past Trying to keep us in the dark But don't you be scared We're gonna be millionaires Here's the place we used to hide From such cold and callous eyes We were only but the pawns In the front line of their wars We gave them everything we had While they would drive us mad Stripped of everything we made For someone else's gain So long, I'm going away Gone to find a brighter day But don't you be scared We will be millionaires Let's be millionaires today

A Short Love Song 00:32

I'm in love, with a girl that came my way I'm in love, just another big mistake She'll look into my eyes And lead me to my own demise I'm in love, and it's driving me insane

A Day In The Life Of A Shaman 01:36
lyrics
buy track
Lying in a tropic garden Airs and graces, wine and laughter A fire engulfs the twisted willows Silhouettes dance in the darkness I am not afraid This town is haunted Everybody's dead They're living in your head Don't you know, I see them Everybody's dead Eternally in bed Oh the sun, he's gone again Lying in a tropic garden I can see the stars above her As shadows cave in on the fire To quench the flame, my only lover

A Last Goodbye (Part One) 01:32
lyrics
buy track
Don't take my love away I need her every moment I wish that she would stay Sometimes I get so lonesome I don't know who to tell There's no one else who understands me The way she does It hurts me so much Don't leave me in the dark There's nothing left to go to Except a bitter past So glad I got to know you I can't erase my love The stars above will hear me crying I love you so I wish this love would go

Sorry 03:50

I saw you dancing in the sunset Somewhere far above the sky While pale illusions keep me up all night Hoping you won't go down Hoping you won't go down Hoping you won't go down like me Hoping you won't go down Hoping you won't go down Hoping you won't go down like me I wanted to tell you I was sorry For any trouble I have caused Shadows dance upon the lake at dawn Hoping you won't go down Hoping you won't go down Hoping you won't go down like me Hoping you won't go down Hoping you won't go down Hoping you won't go down like me Tell me how are you feeling Cause I hope you're not sad Please show me the meaning Please come take my hand Hoping you won't go down Hoping you won't go down Hoping you won't go down like me I may have a problem I don't know if it's true But I know that I want to Spend some more time with you So tell me how are you feeling Cause I hope you're not sad Please show me the meaning Please come take my hand

Backwords 01:26
lyrics
buy track
Stay here a while Please make me smile You know you're the one That brightens my sun I'm only an artist Who painted the sky backwards The dawn was so pale The trees were so frail When you were not there I bled myself bare I'm only a thinker Who thinks with his mind skybound Let me know that you're there Let me know that you care My mind stretched its arms out far Let me know that you're here Let me hold you so near You mind shook hands with mine Your mind shook hands with mine

Game Over 02:17
lyrics
buy track
Two tickets for a train To a place that isn't real today You always say you want away And then you change your mind When sunshine turns to rain Game over Oh the sky's so very blue I tried my hardest just to get to you But then you said that we were through I didn't know where I should go What can I do Game over I just want to be left alone Don't come where you don't belong It's a place you shouldn't go In this darkness I'll stay strong Wait till everyone is gone I've loved you all along Tell me I was wrong I've loved you all along Tell me I was wrong Game over

The Captain 08:17
lyrics
buy track
Wind in your sails now Sailing away Having no anchor To keep you at bay Out on the ocean There's treasure to find Lost on the ocean And losing your mind Trying to keep afloat But the captain goes down with his boat So wind in your sails now And tighten the ropes Wind in your sails now There's nothing in sight Only the ocean And only the night Out on the ocean There's loot to be made Lost on the ocean There's debts to be paid Trying to keep afloat But the captain goes down with his boat So wind in your sails now And head for the rope

A Last Goodbye (Part Two) 02:18
lyrics
buy track
I remember the day We said our goodbyes How I wanted to stay By your side The days passed me by Escaping my eyes As the darkest of nights Filled my skies Climbing the stairs to the stars Their eyes peering out from the dark Like predators marking their prey Why couldn't you keep them away The staircase revolves And I'm ready to fly This world's getting cold I guess it's goodbye

about

My debut full-length album, it was recorded mostly just on acoustic guitar. I used alternate tunings for many of the tracks, as well as double tracking my vocals on most of the songs.
