"The Colorful Ray" Flicking through the channels on TV This is an unread biography Looking at a plethora of me The cast has an unusual chemistry The plot could do with some re-editing Pleased to meet you I am a bet I'm a regret I am a ghost I am an astronaut I am a piece I'm incomplete I am a failed angel Move on past the introduction It gets confusing more as you go on I guess it's all a collaboration Pleased to meet you I am unique I'm a repeat I'm a development I am irrelevant I am alive I am asleep I am a failed angel I am a tree I am a seed I am a slave I am a target I am a kiss I am a fist I am an artist I am an argument I am a joke I am a clue I'm a consumer I am a loser I am a painting I am erasin I am a failed angel

"Losing Gravity" I had a friend ask me "where have you been?" I've been losing gravity And it's good to see you again "I had no idea, can I do anything?" My world's been collapsing Can you remind me who I am? The future's uncertain But the stars have aligned When we spend time together You never know when it will be the last time Joy in our memories Is the wealth of the old You are my friend And that is worth more than gold Hello my friend It's good to see you again

"Pretend to Breathe" Slipping through The blinding night Cast your cares Bait the light Analyze To prove the evidence And it's still Pretend to breathe Until you're drowning from the air Could it be it isn't there? Turn around I lost the evidence I still have sublime coincidence What's it for if unreceived? And it's still Pretend to breathe Until I'm all out Burn your fears Light a fire Break the spell Walk the wire When you're there Send me the evidence And I hope you make it If you don't Be gentle on the way Surrounded by this slow desire

"I Can't Help Wonder" Give it up Kick it in Punch the face of crooked grins Cut the rope that holds you back Nurse the tender heart attacks I can't help wonder To find out something new I ask the question The answer's up to you Turn it up Smash it down & don't get stuck Lift it up Let it in Does it matter if you win? I can't help wonder If it all comes true You play the long game But I want it soon Crash land It's a bruise not a fake tan Will it end before it starts A symphony but what's my part I can't help wonder Do you wonder too? Are we frozen Or thawing out to bloom? I can't help wonder Where the hell am I now? I am always getting lost

"Mystery Remains" What's left to find? The passing of time All you gain you'll lose What's fate, and what did you choose? Look up Kept down The mystery remains Lungs fill again On a line that I can't bend I have wings but don't know how to fly Meanwhile, life passes by Look up Kept down The mystery remains

about

This is an album that ponders lifes, looks up and asks "hey, what's this all about?". It doesn't offer answers. It accepts life isn't perfect, perhaps reluctantly at times.

I'm no virtuoso, I just write songs no one will listen to because I love to unlock a feeling. If you enjoy it on some level, let me know.
