asteroid 03:14
In my little world I lay on a rock and I look up at the stars Look up at the stars I've been here so long I never left because I never had a reason I never had a reason Then I met a rose And it took my breath away I knew that I Would never be the same And I felt so free The rose wore me down I set off to explore the sky All on my own All on my own I met many beings That didn't make sense to me But I'll find my place Oh I'll find my place I'm breaking away From who I used to be Discovering things And places I've never seen And I feel so free I'm sorry to leave you I need to go my own way Break away From all I've learned to do and say You can find me You can find me in the stars

child 03:07
I am just a child Running lost and wild In my own eyes I am so afraid I've always been that way But truth is rarely what we feel So show me where to go Tell me what to say I am just a small Baby Take me by the hand Wrap me up in your embrace Make me yours again I'm so sorry Nothing that I do Feels like what I'm meant to do It's all a chore to me I am so small and weak I have too many needs I'm so sorry So show me where to go Tell me what to say I am just a small Baby Take me by the hand Wrap me up in your embrace Make me yours again I'm so sorry

circle 02:52
They're all around us The things we say The things we do They will surround us The things we think And every move So think loving thoughts And make lovely things Because they will come back around Just see what it brings His mother wasn't around She didn't have a stable ground Now he's leaving you again It's been a full circle around It comes oh and it comes full circle So think loving thoughts And make lovely things Because they will come back around Just see what it brings

innocence 03:12
Something left and now I'm out of touch I am so different now and I think too much There's a wall between me and the fun I had Now that it's gone it's pointless things I grasp This wall came up a little late maybe I guess I might be a little bit naive I just wanna go back when I was open Before this change made me feel broken Before this change made me feel broken As a child it was magic It took a while for me to get it Living free, it's so tragic That we don't love it while we have it This wall came up a little late maybe I guess I might be a little bit naive I just wanna go back when I was open Before this change made me feel broken Before this change made me feel broken (You can still feel it) This wall came up a little late maybe I guess I might be a little bit naive (You can still feel it) I just wanna go back when I was open Before this change made me feel broken (You can still feel it) Before this change made me feel broken

spark 03:08
It's dark outside The stars illuminate the sky In the grass I lie I'm trying to feel alive The sky might hold the key The trees speak words of poetry I'm trying to spark something in me So much beauty that I cannot see Open my soul So I can see it all Unchain my arms From this world and all it's charms The sky might hold the key The trees speak words of poetry I'm trying to spark something in me So much beauty that I cannot see Just give me something real Just give me something real Just give me something real Something that will make me feel We're all just hiding behind this temporary zeal Just give me something real Something that will make me feel We're all just hiding behind this temporary zeal Just give me something real Just give me something real

stars 02:12
I can't look them in the eye I try to speak and express what's inside My reflection fails and I'm caught in the tide Of flowing thoughts and emotions and sides I don't want to hide but I don't have a choice I want them to know want them to hear my voice I'm trying my best but I'm doing my worst So many thoughts that won't become words What's inside is so varied and vast Like stars in the sky but they're moving so fast I try to chase them and bring them close But they'll disappear and my mouth remains closed I don't want to hide but I don't have a choice I want them to know want them to hear my voice I'm trying my best but I'm doing my worst So many thoughts that won't become words

stranger 04:08
My thoughts seem ruled by All of these patterns When I look into my mind I see A certain madness All my life I've Been a stranger to myself I've been hiding So I'm a stranger to everyone else It's one-sided I can't have both it's just too much I can't find it Who I am is just a crutch I'm just floating An enigma in the fog And I'm growing But I still don't feel close at all I'm just a stranger to the world I'm just a stranger to myself I'm just a stranger to the world I'm just a stranger, stranger I'm just a stranger I'm just a stranger I'm just a stranger I'm just a stranger, stranger

wander 03:32
There's an emptiness inside me And it can't decide on a thing It's many parts to a whole and It can't seem to find its own homeland So it spends its life out wandering It'll make itself At home anywhere When it comes time to go It's just floating in thin air No stable ground to stand on No stable ground There's no stable ground to stand on No stable ground For miles in the desert I roam Can't somebody else show me home? Looking at each grain of sand Won't get me where I want to land I know I have to do this alone It'll make itself At home anywhere When it comes time to go It's just floating in thin air No stable ground to stand on No stable ground There's no stable ground to stand on No stable ground Sometimes this feels like home 'Cause I've been here so long Sometimes this feels like home 'Cause I've been here so long Maybe this is my home 'Cause I've been here so long It'll make itself At home anywhere When it comes time to go It's just floating in thin air No stable ground to stand on No stable ground There's no stable ground to stand on No stable ground

viktor 03:07
It's not laid out for you There's just too much to do When you can set your goals When you have this much control When you have this much control When it's just all too much it seems so obvious All these wars and all these words It's not the only way it works It's not the only way it works Try listening not just hearing Or we'll keep seperating When it's just all too much Find everything you love I'm hoping our souls Keep us from turning cold I don't know where we'll be This world it pains me Our nature and our land is ruled by hatred and upper hands But we can still reach out To show them what it's all about To show them what it's all about Love and peace and being free Those are not just words to me They are the truth I speak They are the way we're meant to be They are the way we're meant to be Try listening not just hearing Or we'll keep seperating When it's just all too much Find everything you love I'm hoping our souls Keep us from turning cold I don't know where we'll be This world it pains me This world it pains me This world it pains me

about

The goal for this album was to use only my guitar and my voice, the way I originally wrote them late at night in my bedroom. These are a collection of some of my favorite songs I've written in the past eight years.
