to the sound of my disease dreaming your romantic portion think about eternity and your mind is filled with sorrow never been afraid to see to see just who we are need to feel reality everything will be unfounded til we die see the signs till the darkness sets these things aside take it down hear the siren's cry til the darkness sinks and things just slide you decide (into the night) by the lake inside your dreams let me drown within your reason bittersweet is better than ennui every waking moment time flies so and so and change of scene a different season i want to be in some other time take a chance to dance with me and exchange it all for silence ( on and on...) compromises broken promises

about

This is a very eclectic album.
From cheesy melodies to colder soundscapes.

I have been many things,
and I am seeking a path to bind myself together.

Still it is an album with a theme.
I suppose that theme is pretentiousness.
Every music that I have loved is deemed pretentious by someone else.
But what does that mean?
Especially when integrity is associated with particular sounds,
and they too can be manufactured.

An assortment of unfashionable music that I genuinely enjoyed making.
