Morse Code
04:34
|
|||
|
Sending messages through the air
Like an out of place call to another
Person in the street, careful who you meet
And talk to
It’s so confusing way out there
Just don’t forget I won’t be here
Beside you in the light
Of today
You’ve got the Morse code sending
Right through my veins
To the heart of it all
Just cannot seem to refrain
From getting away to you
You’re my love and here you go
Inside a tiny box made of silk
Cries an infinite world of love and joy
From another corner of a mindless end
To a day I wish I could mend
When time slows down to let me see
You cannot stop to let me be
What is it that you want from me?
Why can’t you just let me be?

Do I Know You
02:56
|
|||
|
The room is empty
Sorry and quiet like a brisk cold morning
We sit like statues
Just two people in a solid stare
The walls are closing in
Like a fearless hunter in the woods
Over all the peaks and valleys
Is there anybody that ever could?
Do I know you
I feel like I do
I’ve seen you somewhere
Or met you before
It’s just a crazy world
And I cannot make out
Anything anymore
Breathe in deep
Remember it could be the last
The end of your life
In a heap of flourishing
Inside a mind
Full of thoughts and ideas
Make me feel your touch
Get inside your head

Leap In The Dark
03:11
|
|||
|
Out in the snow
A field covered in white
Forgotten in a mess of grainy images
From a forgotten past
Someone you know is in danger
While they take a leap in the dark
Firestorm coming full circle around you
While you're taking a leap in the dark
Captivated and mesmerized
By the colors and the shapes
Being drowned out by the whiteness
Of a deluded mind game
Speaking of which, where did you go?
You can't just disappear from
Firestorm coming full circle around you
Everyone wants you to come back again

Canned Chatter
02:15
|
|||
|
A misty garden in a morning tide
Off the ocean just a few miles down the road
What does all of this mean to you?
Is it the end of life as we know it?
Canned chatter sitting inside a box
Voices no one can identify
Soundless and speechless words
From the mouths of shapeless figures

Let Go Of The Familiar
04:03
|
|||
|
Flying away inside a dream
In a hot air balloon without a destination
You can see the distance ahead of you
Let go of the familiar
All the colors are reversed
And your brain begins to tingle
With the slightest touch of innocence
That you let go of the familiar
Time goes by in facets of rhyme
Over orange trees down in the valley
Of hope and love and dreams and care
Here comes another feeling again
Just forget what everyone said
You’ve got to feel good in yourself
Sailing in this hot air balloon
Above everyone else in the world
Crime of passion or crime of hate
Slide it over onto a different slate
Far or close, I’m counting on you
To let go of the familiar

Time You Have Left
04:04
|
|||
|
Ignorance
Falls over a tide of motion
Forgetfulness
Just a wave injustice can't deny
Give it all you've got
You only have a few moments left to go
Sink or swim, you got a right to live
So take up the time you have left
Kindness
In a world where no one cares
Youthfulness
Two steps from a teenage wasteland
Sink or swim, you got a right to live
So take up the time you have left
Give it all you got
You only have a few moments to go
Give it all you got
Sink or swim, you got a right to live
So take up the time you have left
Ignorance
Falls over a tide of motion
(Chorus Repeat)
I know what you're thinking right now ...

Idolize
03:17
|
|||
|
Serpent crawls through the dark
Into a lost leg of a forgotten forest
Eating through every last bushel
Of life that stands in its way
Sitting at the table
Getting ready for dinnertime
Smiles the innocent little cherub
From a cellophane mother
Right up until the world collapses
And the deaths measure up like a glass
Full of rushing people to hospitals
You can bet you won't idolize me anymore

26 Hours A Day
03:47
|
|||
|
I can’t fall asleep
Without thinking about you
I just cannot seem to
Get you off of my mind
When the time is right
I’ll tell you where I might’ve been
It’s gonna be hard for me to explain
That there are 26 hours in a day
Searching for work through the endless weeks
Dealing with tricks I cannot replay in my mind
Just listen to what I’ve got to say
And then you’ll realize that I was right all along

Visions of Fear
04:01
|
|||
|
It’s like you’re never going home again
Back to the place you’ve never been
In your life it’s kinda sad
Leave it alone, it’ll never be the same again
Getting these visions of fear
Flashing through your mind
Like a camera in a dark alley
That I cannot remind you of
Please take me back again
So I can see exactly what you did to me
To make me this way
I can’t figure it out myself
Far fetched ideas from everyday
Inside minds that used to be closed
Giving you memories in a plastic bag
Take them out in about ten years
Get me back again

Full Of Doubt
05:03
|
|||
|
Are you telling me the truth?
I can see right through you
Are you being very clear?
I am smarter than you can be
It seems to me
We're full of doubt
About all the things
We've said and done
Seconds pass
Days flash
In front of our eyes
And we begin to feel
Like nothing really matters
A rotating wheel of fortune
Mastermind of something
And forgetter of everything

Evan Schafer Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
My name is Evan Schafer. I am an indie musician with a strong grounding in traditional composition, but the material always has a unique flair. I guarantee not being bored out of your gourd when turning on one of the records. I produce, mix, and engineer everything myself, and have done so since late 2005. ... more
