lyrics
Breathe into me
My heart is on fire,
I’m fighting for air
Keep running after the horizon,
Chase the shooting star
I only have one wish
And I won’t stop
Until it comes true
Every day, it’s a battle
Fighting through the noise,
Tuning out the static
Yeah, every day's a battle
Fighting through the waves
Trying to reach land
Push and pull, push and pull,
Trying to pull me away from you
I won’t give up, but I need a moment
Just to catch my breath
But then I hear your voice
When I think I’m gone
My body is ready
It’s time to stand and shout
Every night, I count the stars
How many did you steal
And put into your eyes?
Yeah, every night counting stars
Are they the same ones
That you’re seeing now?
Back and forth, back and forth
Locked in a maze and I can’t get out
Try to turn the corner, and find my way
Write a new chapter, turn the page
Power up, get stronger, reach my final form
Become a man who will always be there for you
I won’t give up, but I need a moment
Just to catch my breath
But then I see your face
Before the world fades away
My body is ready
It’s time to stand and shout
One more day, the war goes on
But now I see the end
I want to earn my place
Inside your arms
I will love you forever
Just one touch,
I’m fighting for air
Diving deeper into your heart,
Into trenches with no light
I only have one wish,
And I won’t stop
Now that it’s come true
Composer and musician, self-taught and still learning and playing and having fun. Composing for various genres and instruments, usually shorter pieces.
Uplifting, melancholy, mysterious, and ultimately satisfying, Identity Sequence is a rich album endored with love. I wasn't an EDM guy, but this album is a marvelous experience. Ben Anthony
The jazz here is pungent and evocative without being overly cryptic, covering a range of moods and standing well on its own even outside the context of the game they were inspired by. Ben Anthony
Keeley Forsyth, on The Leaf Label, writes spectral, pulsing songs that swaddle her mournful alto in mist-like synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 2, 2019
A visceral LP centered on the subject of death; deft layers of instrumentation that blurs the line between organic and electronic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 5, 2018
