Here I Am 08:49
Here I am, now let me come inside I will stay a while, I will blow your mind Your eyes are alive and your fire is wild Take me by the hand, come with me my child Entwined Bodies lashed together, one entity Combined Harvest desire embracing ecstasy Your quivering flesh under flowing dress Riding with the beat, writhing with the sound Warmth and lust carried on your breath Enticing touch of an elusive temptress Together Minds souls and bodies find beginnings As beings Two join as one with heightened feelings I am, I’m by your side at last The past, the pain all fades away As the melting sun at night It falls, away from sight Here, by my side and satisfied Stay, stay with me a while Feel the warmth of rushing blood inside Release the power of our natural tide I am, draped in sheets that hold your warmth Your form stretched bare, without a care A glint within your eye says come again Please, come back to me

The Routine 04:16
Everything is in place Memory accessed We’re ready to go Just start the routine Go away to fetch Then return from work An illusion of freedom Recursively run Just run the routine Over and over Just run the routine Over again Build up a future Assemble our lives Available now Instant gratification We follow the path (we follow the lies) Laid down by our leaders (spoken by our leaders) Satisfaction Guaranteed Just run the routine Over and over Just run the routine Over again Can you see the chains That constrict my freedom? Do I still remain? Just break The routine.

Old ways eroded overnight Our worlds combine, mine falters Faces fade in memory Ghostlike shapes in empty lands Never meant for you to be my substitute Distraction from dark silences Your voice becomes my purple haze New meaning to my life Coming over me, clouding fears that I could not see Pushed away the old to make way for all the new Whitewashed everything Whitewashed everything Lights blaze blurring my vision In time these eyes will focus For now I’ll stumble joyfully Enraptured by your smile

Walking around Watching my actions affecting other peoples lives Is it enough to look at the old ways Savour the daze Embrace the tunnel vision gaze But now I’ve the embraced the comforts that this way can bring Surrounding myself, hiding the insecurities within Facing reality It’s not what my dreams were made of Break the mirrors to see what’s behind them World’s disfigured, you’ll see that I’m right here Can’t just keep going following all the white lines I’m facing reality, and it’s not what I longed for Facing reality, and I can’t stand it any more, no Just leave me alone Just leave me alone Just leave me alone Cause I’m going now I hope I hope You’ll wake up Yourself

Time to return to my old ways Time to return to my stomping ground Rekindle the old flames as I find them Rejuvenate the burn flooding through my veins No more 9-5 to constrict me No more bills to pay, no more shirts and ties The only pressure is to find enjoyment With anyone who’s free as I’m walking by I can never get enough of this What made me leave this old life I’ve missed Return to type Revert To quell the turmoil deep inside Racing down the roads of my own brain Connecting all the lines while my body weeps Collapsing on the floor a mortal protest Still floating over wrecks that block my memory lane Embracing the small glimpses of the blurred world While clinging to the floor as the room spins by Determined to explore the darkest corners On a journey to expand and explore my mind I can never get enough of this What made me leave this old life I’ve missed Return to type Revert To quell the turmoil deep inside Return to type Revert This is not rejection of you I know you hurt But there are scars that still remain An emptiness of life unfulfilled I must return to face the many demons of my past Must clear dejection of who I Have now become I should have tried and not succumbed My only fear is that I will Not make it back this time with no one there to save me from myself Return Return Return Return to type

Open Wide 08:37
I’ve got this feeling It’s never ending I’ve been here before Despite what you say I know I deserve much more Rapid demise, if you’re gonna take my life Then just take it away My souls disturbed all my future has been burned Facing pity everyday Four walls encroaching My minds exploding Time to float again Just give me my fix Somehow Wipe my sweating brow I’ll close my eyes and pretend I’m still alive With my weight on my feet Don’t see me cry, let my problems pass you by Being graceful in defeat Open wide Can you see what I’m doing Open wide It’s not just you that I’m needing Panic’s increasing My grips releasing Time to score some more My heart is racing My feet are pounding Breaking on the floor Past broken windows, furtive glances check for chances Of chemical rendezvous My conscious mind remains blind never knowing What I’m going to do Pushing further into myself Seeking Removing What’s my name? Driving onward into darkness Reaching Leaving’s All the same Moving further into darkness

Don't Follow 07:28
Seeing red Eyes rolled looking inwards Tears I’ve shed Fleeting glimpses All this panic surrounds me Final twitches Don’t leave me here sitting, searching anymore My normal has changed, heart bleeding, must be pure Light is fading Sensations come flooding Door re-opens Moving backwards Into time once abandoned Pain returning Don’t leave me here sitting, searching anymore My normal has changed, heart bleeding, must be pure My given time must fade away Like the passing of stars gone astray Don’t leave me here sitting, waiting anymore Waiting here for someone else Patiently watching things drift by Don’t come, don’t follow Leave skies marked with sorrow Don’t come, don’t follow Leave skies marked with sorrow

Life's Light 03:59
Stuck in darkened room Beside myself What more can I assume Is on the broken shelf Searching for the door The walls are closing in Peace is near Life’s light Melting away Dreamland Comes to me this day Stillness in my tomb Inside myself White flowers still in bloom Resting upon my chest My mood ‘comes more subdued More shade engulfing me Dreams are near Life’s light Melting away Dreamland Comes to me this day Unborn in mortal coil Not surfacing In silence I will call No loved ones answering So low yet still I fall My demons chasing me Release is near Life’s light Melting away Dreamland Comes to me this day It comes my way

about

The debut album "Return To Type" is now complete after over a year of what turned out to be a fantastic journey through exciting new music and meetings with some amazing people. A journey that will never be forgotten!

To start with a few small ideas and get encouragement and positive comments from so many people constantly drove the music forward. Each time a few notes came together, another sonic landscape began to unfold until the album started to take the shape that it is now in.
