Track Name: Future Memories
Notes pulled from the ether-
Ringing-
Overwhelming these ears of mine-

How can I ever find the right words and melodies-
How can I ever grasp the perfect rhythms and harmonies-
From the ether-
To describe this paradox-

Your eyes-
Your smile-
Your laughter-
Comprise a lifetime of memories yet to be created-
Your aura-
Your energy-
Your warmth-
Future memories-

Amidst the hustle of money-
Amidst the chaos of everyday life-
Betwixt the selfishness of humanity-
I find solace in you-
Track Name: I Will Never Pen An Obligatory Lamentation About Being A Catholic In Love With A Baptist
Instrumental
Track Name: Imminent Euphoria
Into the mountains-
Far from the see-
I thought I could escape-
But what I found was the truth in me-
I've been running-
From these feelings-
That welled up the first moment I met you-
I've been deceiving myself-
Feigning feelings for every man I met-
To take me away from you-

And there will be imminent euphoria-
When I can look into your eyes-
Imminent euphoria-
When I realize-
That I was meant for you-
That I can't compromise-

Love's not about reciprocation-
Love's not about the gain-
I may go this whole lifetime without you feeling the same-
But I find solace-
In the cold-
In the dark-
In the night-
Recalling your voice-
Recalling your smile-
Recalling your eyes-
What I wouldn't give-
To be by your side-
What I wouldn't give-
To be with you for all time-

Love's not simply a physical attraction-
Love my dear is no means lust-
Love my dear is being with you by your side for all time-
Love my dear is being there for a lifetime-

I find my bliss-
In the gentle subtleties and overtones of your voice-
I find my bliss-
In the way light reflects and softens behind your dark eyes-
Track Name: Eventide Memoirs
Late nights-
Familiar streets-
Soft glow of city lights-
It's these bars, these cafés, these back alleys, these homes-
The shoreline-
The backdrops the scenes of my blissful and trying memories-
Growing up with you-

My happiest moments occurred under stars-
Amidst swirling smoke-
Kissed by blackened skies-
I can look out-
Over the water-
Close my eyes-
Sitting on stone steps-
The bay breeze-
The salt air envelops me-

Late nights-
Familiar streets-
Soft glow of city lights-
It's these bars, these cafés, these back alleys, these homes-
The shoreline-
The backdrops the scenes of my blissful and trying memories-
Growing up with you-

On the wind-
The distinct smell of cigarettes-
Dances all around me-
As I fade into memories-
Of long ago-
I hear your voice as if you were right behind me now-

Late nights-
Familiar streets-
Soft glow of city lights-
It's these bars, these cafés, these back alleys, these homes-
The shoreline-
The backdrops the scenes of my blissful and trying memories-
Growing up with you-

Closing my eyes again-
There is fire-
There is cool air-
There are memories of concerts of late night talks of dreams-
There are memories of nothing more that silence that move me-
I hold these fading apparitions close-
As if the moment was here in the now-
Because these are the cherished memories-
On which these friendships were built-
And this family flourishes-

Late nights-
Familiar streets-
Soft glow of city lights-
It's these bars, these cafés, these back alleys, these homes-
The shoreline-
The backdrops the scenes of my blissful and trying memories-
Growing up with you-

Growing old with you-
Track Name: Future Song Love Child
The skies are much bluer after the rain-
In your arms I forget the pain of this mortal coil-
But that scene has iced and died many times before-
On this world of ice and metal-
Love must learn to transcend-

In the future there will be automated cars-
In the future robots playing for fools in bars-
And in this future I'd like to find my home in your arms-
Under penalty of death can we learn to love-
Under penalty of life can we coexist-

A life-
Our life-
In our robot masters' hands-
My heart-
My love-
My happiness-
Exists only in yours'-

When the world ends-
Armageddon day-
When the sun sets it's last-
And the manmade world begins to decay-
Know that love transcends the ages and time indeed-
Know that love transcends the cosmic ether-
Know that each day in the present and the future-
You my love have my heart-

In the future there will be automated cars-
In the future robots playing for fools in bars-
And in this future I'd like to find my home in your arms-
Under penalty of death can we learn to love-
Under penalty of life can we coexist-

Am I destined to walk these cosmic corridors alone-
Fearful and alone-
Helplessly I search the void for you-
My one true love-
I'll search for you-
I'll wait for you-
My one true love-
Track Name: Revelations And Snow
When lined up through the years-
Through the trials tribulations and tears-
I realize every song I wrote for you-
Was an every budding, ever growing, manifesto of the love-
That blooms like a rose-
A revelation in the snow-

In all the lyrics through the years-
I promised to be true and always there for you-
In one I played long ago for you-
I vowed to be with you-
No matter what you did or do-
I live these words every day, though you are miles away-
And I miss you more than poetic words can say-

Like a flood of cold air-
Rushing through the trees-
The revelations and snow hit me-
Hidden all this time-
Was a burning and true, pure love for you-

In a letter I penned months ago to you-
I affirmed in ink dear friend how close I hold you to my heart-
I meant every word-
I meant every sentiment-
But even then I have yet to realize-
Revelations and snow-
It caught me off-guard-
That amongst all these years of loyal friendship-
I had indeed-
Fallen for you-

In all the lyrics through the years-
I promised to be true and always there for you-
In one I played long ago for you-
I vowed to be with you-
No matter what you did or do-
I live these words every day, though you are miles away-
And I miss you more than poetic words can say-

When lined up through the years-
Through the trials tribulations and tears-
I realize every song I wrote for you-
Was an every budding, ever growing, manifesto of the love-
That blooms like a rose-
For revelations and snow-

Ever always been-
Love-
Revelations and snow-
