A string of pearls Around my neck Choking me Choking me I close my eyes Two times a day But i still see But i still see I cant escape The chasm of thought The knowledge tree The knowledge tree I try to get out But I'm surrounded by Infinity Infinity Choking me Choking me Infinity Infinity

Face in the sand, my heart in my hands The silence is broken, my secrets are spoken I melt into snow, it chills to the bone Yeah, I see you’ve brought your stone, Just one word until you throw Mercy, mercy, mercy show your face Mercy, mercy, mercy take my place Cross that line and see what you can find Tell me the stories and show me the shows Oh wait, I already know Cause those stones in your hand, Are just secrets in the sand, Yeah those stones in your hand, Are just secrets in the sand Mercy, mercy, mercy has shown His face Mercy, mercy, mercy bleeds into grace

I’m alone I can’t see Darkness so dark at night I’m alone Turmoil inside of me I’m alone Can’t see where I’m going I can’t see at night Now moonlight Shadows are welcome here In the light I see I am turmoil free

COFFEE IN THE MICROWAVE SEEMS TO TAKE SO LONG TO BREW EVERYTHING JUST DRAGS ALONG WHEN I’M MOVING AT THE SPEED OF BLUE I’M WAITING, WAITING, WAITING FOR A MOMENT WITH YOU LOOKING, LONGING, AND MOVING AT THE SPEED OF BLUE THE SECOND HAND SEEMS FROZEN STILL THE MINUTE HAND DOES TOO TIME JUST PASSES SLOWER NOW AND MY HEART DOESN’T WANT TO MOVE

I want to tell you a story, but I'm not a storyteller I want to frame you a portrait, but I've never been a painter I want to write you a song, but I'm not a real good singer I just want to have an idea, but I don't know where to start How can I even try When I don't know what's in my head Wasted time, mind slept in my Solitude, wretched hues, stations far away Fortune found me fresh out of skills, save a few that don't mean nothin If ever there was a ship, I'm 'fraid it sailed long ago For all the time now that's left, I'll focus all my effort In honing only one craft, that will bless your life forever Maybe I can't fashion my Heart into all your dreams But piece by piece in time you'll see, Who can build your home, with precious stones, a treasure all your days

about

This album started with an idea I had in May.

The way the album was recorded was an experiment. To start off with an instrumental song, and then have someone make a lyrical song based off how the song made them feel. Then someone would have to make an instrumental song based off the lyrics that they read. So on and so forth. This process was an extremely interesting thing, as no one knew what the rest of the album sounded like, other than the little they got. Despite this, people made songs that flowed together.

On 5/26/16 I made the first song, and on 11/4/16 I recorded the final one. This album pushed peoples limits; instrumental people doing lyrical, and lyrical doing instrumental. While the results were different, they were amazing.

Fourteen Days: Throughout this album, I can tell that I grew as a producer and a musician. The whole experience was amazing, and I would love to do it again.
