Silent sunrise But I sit alone, as no one takes notice again Chimneys breathe But I walk alone, under a cold canopy Flickering picture (in the box they argue) Of caged animals Despairing pleas (so trivial) To a dead monarchy In the box they argue (flickering picture) So trivial In my head I scream Kitchen whistles Waking reverie, I drown my thoughts with tea Ticking time-bomb Black metronome, counting measures 'til we're gone

Empty Eyes 07:55
Fools the day, to waste away To the droning sound, I daresay Empty eyes, stare mindlessly Contemplate vacantly Fill the void with violence Lose the soul to vagrance Fill the void with arrogance Lose the heart to substance I used to think better of you, but that was long ago I used to sit in the old oak tree, had a pleasant hilly view I used to think better of you, but that was long ago I used to feel with a child's eyes I used to draw in circles and runes, left messages for you I used to dance without a care, it's not like that anymore I used to think better of you, but that was long ago Now you sit with empty eyes

Go Slower 06:21
Picture changes on the piano A different face every time Digital dots all together Uploaded memories of mine Go Slower We don't talk on the telephone And I never see your face You're just a name, a daydream Floating in my social stream Go Slower Shut inside all summer 3D movies on the screen How could I know? How could I see? That fall had come early Go Slower

Moth to a picture, burning wings How could it mean anything? Let them fly, poisoning How could it cause suffering? They won't listen, pulling strings We're not going anywhere Voice on the line, taunting me You need to be like society Fly to the meadow on shredded wings Heart full of arrows, fall to your knees Pretty moth to the flame, a dangerous game Head in the gallows, it ends the same Dead in the meadow, let them be Clouds sail, peacefully So high above me, breathe Dead in the meadow, let me be

Just Bones 06:32
Plastic is the face Delirious and strange Rain on porcelain To never speak again I wrote it down instead Tied it up in blue Really should have known It'd make no sense to you Hopelessly mislead Buried beneath the shed Adulterated mind However they will find Lose your soul to the drone Collective torpid unknown Barely glancing outside There's nothing in your eyes

about

*24 bit-audio, download comes with cover art, track-listing, and notes.*

A unique departure from predictable melancholia, this music explores a story about the loss of connection to the heart, soul, people, and the earth. With bombardment from media and through addiction to the Internet and mobile devices we are experiencing soul-loss, and disconnect from our natural environment. We are forgetting about compassion, real people, and what really matters most - Love.

These melancholy messages are brought to you through many instruments, and through the fine work of several individuals. Softly, suggestively, surprisingly, loudly, gently, curiously you will go on this journey.
It is my hope that this dark music will also inspire hope, peace, gentleness, and a desire to re-connect. So it is not a true melancholy, just an aberration.
