about

this started out electronically in 2005-2006 while I was in Cassiopia; it was originally called "echoes and ashes." oddly, the lyrics didn't change much from then.

lyrics

let go, i need to be alone. I need to feel control of this body in the throes of the war it has waged with my spirit in this age let go. let go, i need to be alone. i need to feel my spirit disconnected from my soul so i can run this race. i'll see you face to face. don't let go.

in my every time of need, you come through and i see you. i long to live life an effigy of the lord of lords and the king of kings.

i've been comin' 'part up at the seams. from reality and dreams from reality dreams to the silent centerpiece when i can't feel no peace i scream. oh really does beyond that guilded door lie the hope of something more not just ashes and scorned memories?

apart from grand design our hearts inclined away from you. those words, two edged swords left you no choice you rendered your voice. you were not drowned out. by grace we're still in one piece after we endured the sound.
