Perception 05:49
Can I see in my mind everything to which I'm blind? Can I peer in from outside and see what lay behind? 'Cause all you know and all you see is just perception floating freely a construct of the mind. And the focus that you choose will coalesce into the truth. What will it be for you? What will it be for you? So am I seeing true? Is my heart still beating through? Or am I stuck in my skull getting caught up in illusions of the mind? (Chorus) In the noise there is a tone. And it's pure when heard alone. I need to be outside of me 'cause I drown it out by thinking logically. Through the chaos there's a light that only can be seen with true sight. Can I observe my psyche mindfully? 'cause in the end it's me that's stopping me. (Chorus)

Fear or Love 05:37
I fell asleep in the winter while I was still awake. I let the time just pass me by as I deprived myself of the only things that mattered to me, guess I was too close to see and I denied my wants and needs. Have I lost a part of me? I wanna go where nobody goes where the time and the heart beats slow I wanna be at ease so I can let it go 'cause we come and go like a falling snow in spring. And summertime awaits us all, or nothing. Locate the force that is driving you sway you with a say in everything you do. What is the reason that you make your choice? Fear or love control you. Fear or love control you. Fear or love control you. Fear turns to anger. Anger turns to sadness. If you can't find the problem, ask, "what are you afraid of?" Masquerading as a conscience and you believe it, too. Fear commandeers your subconscious and tells you what to do. It's a gradual change right under your nose. A planted seed begins to grow. You can't see what's not in view. Is it fear controlling you? I wanna go where nobody goes where the time and the heart beats slow I wanna be at ease so I can let it go 'cause we come and go like a falling snow in spring. And summertime awaits us all, or nothing. Locate the force that is driving you sway you with a say in everything you do. What is the reason that you make your choice? Fear or love control you. Fear or love control you. Fear or love control you. Fear turns to anger. Anger turns to sadness. If you can't find the problem, ask, "what are you afraid of?"

Soul Divide 05:07
It's only natural to seek validation external consolation, to be justified. Apprehensive, the trepidation the spirits dissipation when it's not satisfied. There's something more than procreation. More than consecration that keeps us dignified. And something born out of desperation looking for compensation will make the soul divide. Am I blind to me? What's there that I can't see? Am I blind to me? What's there that I can't see? So now I'm seeking higher elevation. Intrinsic motivation will keep me genuine. I must be patient for this habit formation and remember this life is not yours, it's mine. So can you see your own denial? Are there delusions that you've been keeping for awhile? And searching for a destination without liberation will make the soul divide. (chorus)

about

This album is inspired by the subject of finding self awareness and being able to step outside of your emotions to observe your true motives. Developing the awareness to identify and remove the filters that everything you experience passes through. It also explores how our reality seems to bend towards that which we choose to focus on.
