As a child, I used to pretend, For my father I could not depend, He was sold to the distance and the cold, So I found my own comfort from within, You're hard on yourself again, For feeling like you caused others pain, Just like me, I was young and angry, Back then I felt I was inane, I can see the tears in your eyes, It is okay to cry, Please don't fear, I'm right here, To help as time heals by, But I know you're doing your best, All we can do is better than our past, and I will do what my father couldn't do, Remember, my child, I will always love you, It's alright, Come here to my arms tonight, Come here and I'll hold you tight, These feelings are only finite, It's alright, There's always a way to make things right, Why don't we give this another try? Why don't we do this one more time? It's alright, Even when I am gone, Remember that you're never alone, Always know my comfort is forever with you, Remember, I'll always care for you, my child, Remember, I will always love you

And I’m giving it all to you Give it all to you, it is comforting I am feeling where, I can’t find What is always there, I am trembling I don’t realize what, is inside, It is always there, always sustained This is not what I can find, This is not what I can find, But you’re always there, showing me, what I couldn’t realize, I’m so blessed right now, that I know, that, you are, The ground that saves me, every time I fall, And I’m giving it all to you

Bewilderment 04:07

It’s all in your head… It’s all in your head There’s nothing to find It’s all in your head Put it down, put it down It’s all in your head You could have been dead You could have been dead It’s all in your head You could have been dead

Ruination 05:24
You think you can lead to the ends with a fleet of ego, Decided by a deadly sin to make your decisions, Kept the devil in you, Kept it in because it’s all you can prove, Falling, deeper, Reeking of the dark that no one can fathom, worse than disease Worse, than, cancer, You even left your own men, As if it’s their graveyard, you - Wore the peace and wrapped around the ring (ruination) I am left in my shell, Trapped myself in the only place I know is safe, Hide like a rat, in a land full of eagles, Ridden by a wretch called you, Life would be better if only we couldn’t feel, We learn to sever our nerves, As there is no other way around this apocalypse now, Now, we try or die As we rip through the spine, that supports this bastard, we try or die, we - Wore the peace and wrapped around the ring (ruination) When you live in a world where this is all you know, this is all you do, this is all you will do, We rip until your life is gone, We rip until nothing is left, But the ironic thing is, There was nothing in you in the first place, There was nothing there, There was nothing there, Nothing,
6.
Take what you will If You live with the pill Would you rather, have a brain tattered, One extreme to the next, Or have it be level, so fucking level, That you can’t feel a thing, One extreme to the next Take one, for a month, you will be numb, like a bump In your brain, in your brain, it’s in your brain One extreme to the next Take what you will If You live with the pill I bring this to you with no feeling
7.
I thought I could keep loving you But it has gone away The trouble I have been put through Made love not want to say It isn’t your fault baby Not tomorrow, today or yesterday I know you did your best But I just couldn’t hang on In my mind all I kept hearing Was this sad sad sad sad song But it’s not your fault baby Not tomorrow, today or yesterday It’s just my mind I thought I have been through but It needed more time (4x) I promise I’m doing my best But the feelings just aren’t there I understand that for both of us It's just too much to bare But I promise it isn’t your fault baby Not tomorrow, today or yesterday It ain’t your fault baby Not tomorrow, today or yesterday

Unknown Song 04:04
It is the lull The calm to flow through you, That is all you want Remember You can say what you want to be If you can’t tell what you want to see You can say what you want to be free Ahhhhh....

about

Here is an album again! Most of these ideas are old ideas I had and wanted to put them together.

Track 1: lyrics were written years ago. Chorus melody done years ago, rest of the music was done Dec 2023
Track 2: Newest song, lyrics and music done in Dec 2023
Track 3: Instrumental was done many years ago, possibly 10 years old, rerecorded Dec 2023
Track 4: Same as track 3
Track 5: Lyrics done over two years ago, music was mostly done then too, and only recorded in Dec 2023
Track 6: Lyrics done years ago, music done in Dec 2023
Track 7: Lyrics done years ago, music done in Dec 2023
Track 8: This is my recreation of a song by Yeo called Secret Powers (feat. Yule Post). At the time I couldn't find the song but found it a year ago, and wanted to recreate it anyway because I also liked my version!

I hope this is entertaining and enjoy!
