Wake 03:29
Better believe they're wrong, warnings for everyone. Better than that I know, Chase all your fears while they all fall behind and we're pushing through. Better believe in love, I'm fortunate it pulled me out and around. Setting that in stone, lose all your fears while they all fall behind and we're pushing through. Wait while you wake, I'm dreaming of the sun. You and me wake. Better believe in time, I'm worn out but carry on. Follow the lights you find, chase all your dreams so you can call me round. We're pushing through. Wait while you wake, I'm dreaming of the sun. You and me wake.

Let It Out 03:37
Let it out it's in the light of the day. It's in a fading phase, your mind can wander free. Get it out where you can see no time, feel no crash of tides and soon you'll reach your shore. I thought I'd seen it all before. The world is growing louder. The world is growing louder. I saw just what was in your mind. The world is growing louder but our voice has fallen silent now. Let it out, let it out of your mind. It's in a world of mine, I love you yes I know. I can't believe that we're wasting our time so get it out of your mind, we'll see no bridges burn. I thought I'd seen it all before. The world is growing louder. The world is growing louder. I saw just what was in your mind. The world is growing louder but our voice has fallen silent now.

Saved by luck or saved by chance or saved by you? I won't crave for winters past, if you only knew. I won't ever weed out your mind, if you care for the money or the time well I don't care for it all. Goodbye my sweetness said you and I. Goodbye stop me from crying, said you can try to save my world. Down on luck or down on chance or down on you. I won't laze in this crazy world till this phase is through. I won't ever fall or be mislead. Stop this world from raining through my head and I might care for it more. Goodbye my sweetness said you and I. Goodbye stop me from crying, said you can try to save my world. Well you've got to play your hand if it's the only thing you have got. Goodbye my sweetness said you and I. Goodbye stop me from crying, said you can try to save my world.

Turn on your talkbox, speak to me alone while you're lying awake. Here's something I remember, my eyes had turned away. My mind wasn't anywhere, lights out and unaware. Turn on your talkbox, it's a warm effect and it's working slow. Here's something I remember, my eyes had turned away. My mind wasn't anywhere, lights out and unaware. Turn on your talkbox, speak to me alone while you're lying awake. Here's something I remember, my eyes had turned away. My mind wasn't anywhere, lights out and unaware.

I have seen beneath the sea, it's a dark and beautiful life and it's been crossing my mind that the way we see isn't always the way we feel. I have lost and I have found the belief that something is there and it's just waiting for you and the deeper we dive the more we come alive. There are secrets we all hide. By dawn we're ready to confide and let out something dark inside to reveal to ourselves. I have been beneath the sea and it glows a magnificent light and I've been thinking for sometime that the way we see isn't always what we believe. There are secrets we all hide. By dawn we're ready to confide and let out something dark inside to reveal to ourselves.

I've been wondering, I've been waiting And now a dream has come my way Watching you fray undone again I've been meaning to remember The time dark thoughts ran through my head Till you came along, my soul you fed I've been walking now, walking far too long I should pick up speed and run I might run away to the sun I've been wait, I've been wondering And now our souls have changed to one For this lovers song has only begun I've been meaning to remind you You are the path I chose. Watching us grow and merge our souls I've been walking now, walking far too long I should pick up speed and run I might run away to the sun

In our time I've seen they dwell in hollow walls A hazy trance awaits, the darkness turns to light In the morning I awake Chasing thoughts of all we know and love In your mind I've seen you're trying to get out A hazy trance awaits, I'm waiting for someone In the morning I wake Chasing thoughts of all we know and love It's not easy when your vision disappears It's not easy being an open book, when your backs against the wall But your love will lead all things to follow And your love has shown that there's a way When the sky begins to fall In your dreams I've seen, you're dying to believe A hazy trance awaits, I'm waiting for someone In the morning I wake Chasing thoughts of all we know and love It's not easy when your vision disappears It's not easy being an open book, when your backs against the wall But your love will lead all things to follow And your love has shown that there's a way When the sky begins to fall

Stand at a crossroad and every way looks far from perfect, show me the way. It comes out of nowhere to catch me undefended, show me the way. And if I fall would you show me the way and if you're lonely I will treat you the same. I have lost something so show me. Falling at my feet are too many options too many answers, show me the way, Love's not the greatest excuse for being sad and lonely, show me the way. And if I fall would you show me the way and if you're lonely I will treat you the same. I have lost something so show me.

For A Reason 03:35
We're In this place but we could sail around the world in time. I'm in your mind and I'd be mad to walk away far from my side. I love you for a reason I can't forget and let me know your ways I'm wanting more and more. We'll break this phase and I've been thinking that we can in time. We'll move away and see lighter days, I'm by your side. I love you for a reason I can't forget and let me know your ways I'm wanting more and more.

Hollow Walls 04:06
Seems my luck is in today, mournful ways soon to change and the worries in my head drift away. Life won't flicker around, this ain't like me. Wake eyes, come into my hollow walls. Shame and lies, I won't feel nothing at all. Wake the dark and lightest skies, no hint of sighs or crash of tides and down. Seems I've woken from my sleep, I'm no fool I'm no creep. Banish dreams that bring you down way too deep. Life won't flicker around, this ain't like me. Wake eyes, come into my hollow walls. Shame and lies, I won't feel nothing at all Wake the dark and lightest skies, no hint of sighs or crash of tides and down. Move away and move around, You're running of ways to drown. I want to share the fortunes in my mind, I want to see you mine.

about

This album is a melodic mix of different styles but seems to remain artistically cohesive throughout. The album begins strange and electric and even funky before it fades into mellower and more acoustic pastures. The theme of the album is one of spiritual awakening and quiet reflection and his voice is both soothing and reassuring.
