What's this thing you speak of? What's this thing you speak of? Some divine mind, judging my own love If it's real tell me where? I don't care, it's just not there No guiding hands, drafting your demands All the faces that i've crossed, been burned up by the frost Burdened by this weather, they'll stay that way forever I'll walk into the ocean, keep walking till I'm floating Then I'l just start swimming, dive down to some beginning What's this thing you speak of? What's this thing you speak of? Some divine mind, lifting you above If it's real why such stares? As if my eyes could betray it's lair No guiding hands, hidden in the air All the faces that i've crossed, they been burned up by the frost Burdened by this weather, they'll stay that way forever I'll walk into the ocean, keep walking till I'm floating Then I'l just start swimming, dive down to some beginning You call it illogical At least I''m not a criminal

Way down where the cost is too high I'm wandering, I'm wandering Where now is the help they offered? I'm wondering, I'm wondering I am only one of many to come Working in the soft light building a gun They say they speak right I know they're wrong I am only one of many to come They torched this place It takes a golden sheen Angry anchors underneath I am only one of many to come Working in the soft light building a gun They say they speak right I know they're wrong God is a white light saving the strong They say that's all right I know they're wrong I am only one of many to come Heat of a desert, how far could you run?

Glacial Pace 03:56
Often the best tricks, over before they began What was it you were looking for? Sorry, I lost it in my hands Got no reason Committed no crimes Centuries take hold Watch dial is spinning right Take a seat and face the wall It's where you're wanted the most Often the best twists in our own movies When someone isn't who you thought they were When someone isn't who they claim to be Take this ache away, some baseless faith Slow motion daze you raised, glacial pace Got no reason Commited no crimes Centuries take hold Watch dial is spinning right Take a seat and face the wall It's where you're wanted the most It's the season Walk low to warmer climes Cold calls treason But the air, it feels alright I take a seat and I face the wall My body becomes the host Nothing's done and the wind bellows The idea betrays the ghost

Hell 02:46
Hell is not hot, it's a cold white room With no windows to see all that looms Our searing sun or their disfigured moon Whether time moves or not, it won't matter to you Time moves or not, it won't matter to you In hell there's no fire, it's just frigid and blue And as I pace back and forth I remember less of you In hell there's no other, just this vast lonely gloom And hope barely there, cowering and running from you Scream all you want, that's what they want you to do Howl from your throat till your voice abandons you Howl from your throat till your voice abandons you too

about

Recorded over the summer months of 2012 at Famous Shut-In Studios by Grant Wicks, Timekeeper is me feeling restless and trying my hand at a bunch of different methods of songwriting after a long hiatus from working on solo material. Enjoy.
