Breathing silence in my Dreams I didn't find it it's been given to me i won't hide it we all must see They denied it plausibility I will fly to the carousel the ball where and when we all will be free from sinning Now take sides cause the poetry unwinds As the particles colliding in our own undoing.

Fate led me to these pages Create give a voice to ages Sate the hunger for spaces Relate my unarmed embraces Finding winding climbing Isolation Peaceful listful dreaming in isolation

Hiding in the walls Of an older time when hes less inclined Separate himself from the war outside When he found his mind beautiful and clean fully fed plenty of bed I am so sorry That it all came down that your world drowned.

I won't say that I know what he went through I just pray that we won't have to Rising hope didn't mean he was a fool to know is a joke far beyond permission Crowding into spaces on top of faces on top of spaces again Social collapse in a Pyramid pharaohs of malevolent design they crossed the defined line stretching past what they just did

Warning from the top of the world morning with the sky uncurled Storming from the rage of the age Transforming with each hidden page This catalog of cataclysm the analog of to own schism Grateful and fearful I read on I'm hopeful but tearful as I follow along but hope is something that I'm slowly losing kept in a pocket of my own choosing Oh bridging design So it'll be fine My whispering war oh what's in store Please what did he say oh it's here to stay Today go away

They divide us and they deny us the truth of what is real My poor brothers among all others now fight and kill and steal He continues to write What has happened to bring this sad end the lies are taking control My poor brothers now killed each other the war has taken its toll will escape he writes into my own world apart from pain and desolation my own partition with new traditions a beautiful one of my own creation

We are all forgetting what it feels like to be a little picture against a strike We are all forgetting the etiquette that gave civilization a tighter knit Below they follow Kicked from the nest they cower before the ones with power the little pictures without purpose we are all forgetting this will hurt us We are all forgetting We see this suffering but we seem to do nothing we see this suffering

And his hands were full of dirt he stands unfurled unhurt demands unshaken outside his plans never taken or realized He came from somewhere dressed as black as night holding a written journal meant to be our guide The poem of the ages written just for me I read all through the pages of his catastrophe we learned from mistakes of the past we traveled to a world that would last

Ashes turning to snow whoa snowfall bringing with it the feeling reeling inside he tried but the ashes kept turning to snow whoa snowfall bringing with it the coldness endless inside he tried Warmth please stay a while the song is playing on child please try to smile the world keeps moving on But last night it poured and the ashes adored all the silent thoughts and the cyclops sitting at your door and he writes and he writes some more to understand himself just a little bit more

I'm the one that washed away I'm the pretty one that felt so cold I'm the one that kept it grey I'm the only one that did what I was told He says his skin was too tight he says his clothes were all right but his friends they all fight because they lost their sight Bored and in-doored misinformation nation truth is ignored the creation of separation
I got to fight a long cold storm I did it right a wrong old norm it was so bright a strong fold warm the truth has been reborn The way I see it we all didn't do our part But it couldn't fit we were doomed from the start A house of cards built on sand We disregard not understand but here we are a long way to go the human spirit to love and to grow We can not fear it we need it to show we need it to show

I wish I knew why the hidden truths behind those eyes of people who want love people who think of only 1 thing that is for lack of keeping a grasp a grip on feeling a grip a grasp on healing I left this book for someone to find in hopes that I could remind someone of what I learned and seen you have earned and gleamed The last page is torn and ripped apart in two but I have gripped what the writer knew but I still wish I knew why too

Gentle, evocative, samples, loops, and synths. It is heart-felt and genuine. (and I had the privilege and honor of mastering it)
