Yesterdays
04:00
|
|||
|
I can see everywhere I go they’re staring back at me
Questioning my motives
Can it be that it will take an act of God to redeem
What I’ve done
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
Is there a chance that maybe I’m not the one who’s fallen short
It’s just your expectation
A bit unfair to hold me up to standards that even you
Even you
Even you deny
We’ll stand up strong in face of this injustice
We cannot live with ourselves if we fall
Back to all our yesterdays
All our yesterdays
"To be indifferent to their suffering
Is what makes the human being inhuman
And in denying their humanity
We betray our own"
Change will come, there’s not a way to stop it
Change will come, an inevitability
Change will come, there’s not a way to stop it
Change will come
Oh, change will come
We’ll stand up strong in face of this injustice
We cannot live with ourselves if we fall
Back to all our yesterdays
All our yesterdays
All our yesterdays
All our yesterdays

Carry Your Dreams
04:03
|
|||
|
There’s a chance I admit
I don’t know where the pieces fit
And I don’t have a guide to get it right
Little one have I failed to
Step in to save you
Though my intentionality
Comes from my insecurity
Every time I consider what you need from me
It’s far less than what I want to give
And I’ve got myself to blame in this selfish place
In my open hand fly away
I can carry your dreams
All in front of me
My honor and my privilege to walk with you
If you let me I will be
Despite my frailty
Your champion, unmoved and unafraid

Hey you, gotta light?
I don’t smoke but I might tonight
If I can’t wrap my head around
This bullshit that keeps coming out your mouth
Hey you, it’s enough
We all know that you’re not this tough
Your pathological demands
Are just a smokescreen for your lack of plans, yeah
Hey you, listen up
We’re gonna skip from walk to jump to
Fast track car crash kick your ass
Last splash mad dash
There’s only so much you can take
While you’re standing up
To keep yourself from falling to your knees
If we have numbers we have strength
So lift each other up
And they’ll never be able to knock us down
There’s only so much you can take
While you’re standing up
To keep yourself from falling to your knees
If we have numbers we have strength
So lift each other up
And they’ll never be able to knock us down

Chasing After Memories
04:20
|
|||
|
Slow dance with me
Your body pulled in tight
Breath to breath and eye to eye and
I can’t believe that you’re still mine
I’ll give you an anthem
So free with possibility
All we can do is sing
Until the stars fall from the sky
Tighten your hand in mine
We’ll spin and spin around
Like two kids chasing after memories
That haven’t happened yet
I’ll give you an anthem
So free with possibility
All we can do is sing
Until the stars fall from the sky
Nous avons fait vingt ans
Servons vingt de plus
Je suis à toi et tu es à moi
Nous avons fait vingt ans
Servons vingt de plus
Je suis à toi et tu es à moi
(We've got twenty down.
Let's do twenty more.
I am yours and you are mine.)
I’ll give you an anthem
So free with possibility
All we can do is sing
Until the stars fall
And we’ll dance beyond imagination
The same two hearts but a better song
That we’ll sing
Until the stars fall from the sky

Moving Shadows
05:10
|
|||
|
We are merely moving shadows
Caught up in esoteric haze
So busy running after nothing
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
As we stand here in our silence
Thinking nothing said is what to say
As it all falls down around us
As it all goes up in flames
Every lifetime is a moment
Each of us is just a breath
All we have is each other
Each other now in death
Can you hear me?
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
Are you listening?
Every lifetime is a moment
Each of us is just a breath
All we have is each other
Each other now in death
Every lifetime is a moment
And you and I we’re just, we’re just one breath
All we have is each other
Each other now in death

Holy Ghosted
04:03
|
|||
|
Lay your hands on me
And take me to the promised land
Even though I don’t want to go
I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe
And with open arms
I’m waiting for my Bride
Have I said too much?
She never showed up
A deafening crescendo of silence
I don’t care what the people say
I don’t care what they do
I don’t care what the people say
I don’t care what they do
I’m sorry if I never told you
That I was afraid to listen
If I had then I would have to admit
That we were wrong all this time
I don’t care what the people say
I don’t care what they do
I don’t care what the people say
I don’t care what they do

Turn of Phrase
03:57
|
|||
|
Just speak your mind
We’re running out of time
Running out of time
To try to find
A way to say goodbye
Say goodbye
We’ll never get it right
The perfect turn of phrase
If we wait for poetry
We’ll be too late
We’ll be too late
To say everything I need to say
It would take eternity
Just to scratch the surface
Just to write an introduction
Just to begin to paint the picture that is our masterpiece
Made perfect by our imperfections
And faultless within our faults
A symphony so complex that I can barely understand
Why you stayed after the orchestra tuned to A above middle C
Why you stayed with me
(Far to the west, chasing the sun
The end is the beginning
As we leave our house for home)
You are my port in the storm
You are the light in my darkness
You bore into existence three expressions of love
Without whom we are incomplete
And through each one we will live forever
A legacy that shouts loudly from the rooftop
The broken shall inherit the earth
The broken shall inherit the earth
The broken shall inherit the earth
And she will be made whole
And she will be made whole
(Far to the west, chasing the sun
The end is the beginning
As we leave our house for home)
And even though I have so little to give
in comparison to what you deserve
And what little I have could never be enough
I give it alI
I give it all
Wholeheartedly
Without condition
Without expectation
Without reserve
I give it all
(Leave our house for home)
I give it all to you

Fallen
03:37
|
|||
|
Another day like the last one
Whiskey in my hand
Oh God, I pray
That I'll find something new
Just so I can live again
It's a long way to fall
It's a long way to fall
Take my hand
We'll jump into every kind of fire
The burn won't last
It's just another way to feel alive
It's a long way to fall
It's a long way to fall
In time you will see it's our time
We're all fallen
In time you will see it's our time
We're all fallen
In time you will see it's our time
We're all fallen
In time you will see it's our time
We're all fallen
It's a long way to fall
It's a long way to fall
It's a long way to fall
It's a long way to fall

Echoes Down the Road
03:38
|
|||
|
I’m broken and unfocused
Thinking ‘bout a time
When the world was in front of me
Scattered dreams and misguided fantasies
Regarding love, and life, and you.
They said somehow every free choice
That you make is preordained
(And you can’t change it)
Now a score and twenty seven
Echoes down the road
Far from your dissonance
Torn between a little guilt and some relief
And wondering why I miss you
They said this is how it’s always been
And always will it be until the end
(Thanks be to God)
If I tell you this in love
Will it tear down all the walls that you’ve built up
That hide your heart, your mind, your soul
Set you free
Let me set you free.
Strip away the pride, the pride that blinds you
Turn your face away and open up your eyes
To see the beauty of a world that wishes nothing more
Than for you, for you to love them
If I tell you this in love
Will it tear down all the walls that you’ve built up
That hide your heart, your mind, your soul
Set you free
Let me set you free.

Voyeuristic Symphony
05:30
|
|||
|
I don’t have much to say but even if I did
You could take or leave it
I’m like an open book that’s been left behind
And I could hardly blame someone who chose to read it
So let’s all get a ticket to this voyeuristic symphony
And in the middle we’ll share secrets
About being disappointed that it ended happily
Because that’s not artistic
Hallelujah, hallelujah glory be
Thank you Jesus that they are not like me
Hallelujah, unless you see it differently
Thank you Jesus that they are not like me
Let’s go to a party where no one was invited
And claim the guest list is all full
You can laugh at all our stories and claim they’re inside jokes
Like they did in days of old
And I will hardly even notice that those outside are crying
We look the same with no sound
So light a match, pull the string, take a shower
And let the future sort it out
Hallelujah, hallelujah glory be
Thank you Jesus that they are not like me
Hallelujah, unless you see it differently
Thank you Jesus that they are not like me
Hallelujah, hallelujah glory be
Thank you Jesus that they are not like me
Hallelujah, unless you see it differently
Thank you Jesus that they are not like me
Hallelujah, hallelujah glory be
Thank you Jesus that they are not like me
Hallelujah, unless you see it differently
Thank you Jesus

I randomly find you on Reddit and I don't regret anything, those are the first mixes I heard from you, and they're epic. "Centaurus" gives me this hopeful apocalyptic vibe that I adore. Then "Hydri" calm down the ambience a bit and let "Microscopii" do his incredible work, the track feels hopeful and futuristic, remind a lot of the Japanese futuristic games and ambiences, like the finals levels of xenoblade 2 or Xenosaga. Then "Denebola" really kicks in with it's dubstep vibe. Nice EP
