It's a logical evolution between live and let live and do or die so many chances to quit it somehow still manage to try sunlight is a simple song I do my best to sing along and get the gist of everything it means darkness is a complex one that moves through moods before it's done and coaxes thoughts around into a dream Ask me what's the difference between boredom and peace one's bothered doing nothing the other is at ease I got so much time to think that everything comes up and says its piece before it can depart I'm not sure I wanna drink but a hand fills up my cup, pushes it over cheers to the stars it used to be wine and now it's water if I'm not getting high, why do I bother? I knew at some point that I had to close the door so I'll think of you as a friend who I just don't see anymore so I'm coming home just to be alone listen to the past flag flying at half mast what are the chances of being here what are the odds of this life I throw my cards down and look in the mirror in this moment, things are alright

I wait for the summer to take your hand I wait for the others to understand I don't like the taste of this offering give me something sweet now to call the rain how does the light come in to the picture? all my designs just dark and vicious so critical, these damnations of everyone, and all our sins I weighed my heart, and let it win my worst mistake, let me try again and under the blanket of night they come silent footsteps as they draw their guns will we fight back or will we go in peace bury me with the insects under the trees how does the light come into the picture? their designs all dark and vicious so critical, these damnations of all of us, and all our sins lets weigh our hearts, be honest with ourselves this time, lets break some bread we can never go back to a time when we knew better we can only go on if we remember all of the times that we broke the code we are god and god only knows keeping our shameful secrets close I'll do just as I am told so let me know my damnation to stay away, or come back again so weigh my heart, and shut my eyes please just know, that I did try

Today's an eternity of moments undefined and I keep them inside tomorrow's an empty promise not not alive with the breath of life Never compromise learning my disguise easy as it stands I could never give a damn We are everywhere and all around going slow into the ground nothing's as it seems this is the language of dreams I've been bent and broken but still there is a home for all of my tones not fighting fate which offers me reasons to transform Empty as it stands learning my demands in history we're stuck I could never give up We are everywhere and all around going slow into the ground nothing's as it seems this is the language of dreams prophecy continually fulfilled resurrection is individual and real

Pure Sattva 05:17

A distant unity is dragging me in tow slowly giving to me the things I’ve come to know and it’s all because of you recollecting what you do and it’s all been done in the light of the moon no setting suns the one who digs inside the one who bides his time the one who takes in stride the face of countless men the love of kin and friend the unavoidable end I am here and I am wondering why’d you disappear leaving me haunted and humbled now I’m on my own I must be on the path of fleeing to some mind and song always dreaming along never to awake Thank you again, please understand why I did run from your demands Oh can’t you see, I was blind to be a fool just thinking I was free Move around and note the shadows shake some hands and stab no backs, no listen closely, hear what’s hallowed walk in the depths and swim through the shallows I was born to be a questioner, a reckoner of self digging inside when I ran out of spaces on the out and I found some truth it seems, but it’s still just truth to me the empty we call peace (I’m a cause in effect) can come to me wakingly would you trade it all? for clarity Inhabit me, soul mind and body and take it back, all the scenes that I do act I do it sacrificially When I leave I will renounce what I have been a personality I’ve dreamed still I can not conceive what will happen then to me

about

As echoed in the album photo, this EP is about duality and reflection. It runs in reverse chronological order, and juxtaposes the more current first two songs (from 2017) with the second two songs, which were recorded in 2014 and 2015. There is a clear difference in sound, style, mood, and lyrical approach that I thought would be interesting to share. All four songs are considerations of steps on the spiritual journey...the older are more abstract and centre around seeking lightness and connection, while the newer are more concerned with embracing darkness, disconnecting, admitting defeat, and renewal. This is like a short story of where I was at the beginning of a psychedelic/symbolic search for meaning to its conclusion in sobriety and self analysis. From outer influence to inner knowing, which now feels like only the beginning.
