Alone 04:12

you waited so long to be noticed the leaves that are falling like sand this energy you're calling purpose will it return the time to your hand there's something different now in your eyes you're planting gardens something's changed you now will you still feel the same I know you've got to go but I'm not wanting to do this again I know I have to let you go but it's time that I understand why do we repeat these visits each time brings a different low why do we repeat these visits why don't we just move on what we know it's a different time will you jump with me from this wall we climb leave this fantasy windmill's closed and I am too behind your eyes I'll be renewed

Words Fade 04:04
time flies life is crystal words fade standing vigil I see the future I see you go still under pressure and I'm down below I see the future I see you go I see the future The one I should have known
4.
Tasokare 05:22
like waves the night falls down city stops as the light still shakes keep waiting till you come around feeling like someone is faking I remember when we were still us trying just to survive now that you're someone else I'm still waiting to arrive rain falls on the sunset boulevard as you call it another name rain falls on the sunset boulevard cause I'm still the same
5.
Holding On 04:08
standing there convinced see everything I missed these notes contradict but I've got something to hold to when worries are eclipsed with everything we'll risk no better time to commit you've got something to hold to

it's too late your time's up see through your disguise tell your friends that you're going to the other side

The Reason 04:14
you've been down riding these waves you've been down searching for your place and I'm no good still I'd follow you into the sea something's got to be a reason The Reason nobody knows you like I do listen to me it's time for new beginnings I can see through you that old truth smoke in the air a search for simpler feelings
10.
I'm falling up into the threshold and the thieves did I steal beyond or were they following me they're not here to fight no you're here to run with scenes to fill the quiet and dreams when they are done I know it's coming up
11.
looking for old heights familiar sounds and sights got it locked up in your head in your head acting like you feel right on the edge of a knife cross it out, lock it up in your head in your head but I know your secrets you've got a tell I see your visions you guard them well these reservations you still ignore hoping it'll be like it was before feeling that prime time on that one of a kind red carpet out all the doors all the doors driving down old streets they all remember me still frozen, locked in your head in your head
12.
if you really meant to go did you picture it this way it's the bittersweet silence arms around the wake look who never meant to show and who waited for this day it's the bittersweet silence folded over me far away so far away

he lives in a box in a room with his thoughts in the house that he built each week is the same and he agrees with the grey though sometimes the cold is real those days when he's there but still gone there's a vision behind the light when he calls himself I can see his thoughts before they go with the night there's something wrong in me like a wave it comes and goes again and each time it pulls from me leaves a mark like someone else in my skin I don't know the truth or what it tells but I'm tired of lying In a box that I made for myself and I'm tired of hiding I don't know the truth or what it tells but I'm tired of lying In a box that I made for myself cause I'm tired of fighting he returns to the scene though he missed what it means in this house that he built the days are the same like these words are ingrained as time comes to stand still it's hard to make believe with the visions behind the light when he calls himself I can see his thoughts before they go with the night

they said go out and chase your dreams despite being eighteen just like that it's done you're done well that ship is gone but here we all are still hoping in our weakness that maybe we're better than we thought there's a place on a playlist or some Vegas DJ's guestlist or any other lie that we have bought they'll listen if I keep it up all it takes is simple luck but now you're gonna learn what we weren't taught this is as good as it gets so save up all of your tips getting too wasted so we don't have to face it this is as good as it gets yeah, we all should admit it no one's even listening my parents are the cheer team and your dreams have gone bad ringing hollow again and again while you chase the latest fads we'll have nothing in the end so the years have past like a personal attack now you fight the trends but lay awake at night pushing on at any cost waiting to become the boss and though it's self defeating the message bears repeating: there's no place on a playlist no record deals to miss that crate of CDs no one else has bought if all it takes is simple luck you're out of time to get unstuck the trap has sprung but maybe that's what you want this is as good as it gets so save up all of your tips getting too wasted so we don't have to face it this is as good as it gets yeah, we all should admit it ideas no one will miss probably should delete this and your dreams have gone bad ringing hollow again and again while you chase the latest fads we'll have nothing in the end flipping through the presets (yoiiiii) trying to write the big hits releases coming too slow you're gone before you even know that no one ever breaks through this song will never find you sitting on a big stage sun's setting on another day fu-

about

Hello everyone, I'm glad to be back with my new album, it's been...
...6 years...
hmm

This is a full 60 minute LP of multi-genre exploration that I've spent entirely too much time on. So hopefully it doesn't suck.

Believe it or not, I've actually been writing this LP that whole time. Long days/nights of practicing, recording, re-recording, scrapping tracks entirely... at least I've learned to be more efficient over the years, while writing for PrototypeRaptor and other projects. (I don't do PTR full time)

But the result is a LP that I really feel a connection to. Lots of experiences, and especially covid-times, have all been kinda summed up in this record, and I hope y'all find something, somewhere in it you identify with.

Or maybe just like a cool chord progression or synth sound, idk what I'm talking about really.

If you're still here listening to my spastic music after all this time, I'm truly grateful. Now that this big LP undertaking is over, I have a lot of ideas that have gone on hold, so look forward to more music and projects ASAP!

And if there's no one left out there, so long, and thanks for all the fish.

Jonathan
