Wayward Sun

Angel of desire Summoned from the mire Crimson lips dark eyes Fallen from the sky Love like a drug Lust underneath the starry skies A harmless sin Succumbed by your luring eyes Love like a fire Thrust underneath a weeping moon A dirty deed Pink laced Explosion coming soon Indulging dark desires Twisted like barb wire Angel of desire You’re hired I’ll be your sire Demon of the fall Headed to the ball Curvy hips dark hair From the Devil’s lair Angel of desire Love like a drug Lust underneath the starry skies A harmless sin Succumbed by your luring eyes Love like a fire Thrust underneath a weeping moon A dirty deed Pink laced Explosion coming soon Indulging dark desires Twisted like barb wire Angel of desire You’re hired I’ll be your sire

The spider schemes with stealth beneath a rose disguising thorns Her sweet alluring pose Her fawning awe and fervent charm hold sway Though beware the wicked web she lays Faye, Faye, takes your breath away She’s rotten to the core And besmirched by hate She’ll play you like a fool Like another prey You’re a pawn on the board In her cruel game Snug in its fur The cat comes out to slay Her razor claws Her hiss keeps them at bay A rodent darts across the yard Blood stained Like Jeffrey Dahmer smiles on her face Faye Faye like an early grave She’ll rip out your heart And throw it away You can wear the crown To your dismay Like a fool in the dark Standing in the rain

Shadows 03:21
Days without shadows are days without sun Gloomy is the sky by clouds overrun Bright is the earth where the dark shadows lie Cast by the beams of a glittering sky The darker the shadows, the brighter the sun So behold the shadows for when all is done I’ve come to love the dark in every single way For without it, we’d never find a way I have a large shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see. He is very much like me from the heels up to my head The darker the shadows, the brighter the sun So behold the shadows for when all is done I’ve come to love the dark in every single way For without it, we’d never find a way Blackened by the fire Cause that’s where the love is Navigate the dark Until the light comes in Still as a windless night The moon shadows are As still as a darkest heart Propelled by fright The clouds descend upon The darkest night Upon the stillwater Brings morning’s light The darker the shadows, the brighter the sun So behold the shadows for when all is done I’ve come to love the dark in every single way For without the shadows, we’d never find a way

Long ago the story has been told Transmutation of lead into gold Hiding in the corners of my mind I’m so smitten with it all the time Up and away Transcending time The sweet bliss Crawls up my spine Down in a place So far away These lovely thoughts Take me away Enter your mind Kissed by the sky Not too long ago I was a boy Playing with your world My favorite toy Dodging any sense of inner growth I’ve opted to change I’ll take this oath Up and away Transcending time The sweet bliss Crawls up my spine Down in a place So far away These lovely thoughts Take me away Enter your mind The treasures you’ll find Far too long I’ve waited And I’ve stayed Hindering potential So dismayed But with pain Comes reason And I know Good times lie ahead It’s time to go Up and away Transcending time The sweet bliss Crawls up my spine Down in a place So far away These lovely thoughts Take me away Enter your mind Kissed by the sky

Wayward Sun 04:08
From their folded mates They wander far Their dreams beguiled Underneath the stars All sick at heart Nostalgic to the bone Amid cruel rocks Yet tameless on their throne And when the plains fall dark And the hills loom large A burning light comes to shine Down on Oh it’s a burning light coming down Like the sun Like a wayward sun Bares all to the garden ground Golden finespun Like a wayward sun All harsh and wild And all just bound to joy Like a wayward sun You’re the light Despite all the damage that’s done Life ever flowing Tears come from the start What is this game Without love from the heart? A sacred flame That none can dim its glow A gentle ear that speaks In tender tones And when the plains fall dark And the hills loom large A burning light comes to shine Down on Oh it’s a burning light coming down Like the sun Like a wayward sun Bares all to the garden ground Golden finespun Like a wayward sun All harsh and wild And all just bound to joy Like a wayward sun You’re the light Despite all the damage that’s done Oh it’s a burning light coming down Like the sun You’re the light Despite all the damage that’s done Like a wayward sun

Out of the shadows And into the light Blue Lotus is coming up everywhere Carefully standing in weak stride Eyes open Face to face in the mirror Out of the mud And towards the sky Blue lotus is coming up everywhere And though I’ve walked the line I’m burning love inside Burning love Like a fire A most twisted desire Burning love Like a fire Fervent love won’t expire Out of the gloom And into the bright Blue lotus is coming up everywhere Cautiously standing in tamed stride Heart open Far away from despair Out of my head And into my heart Blue lotus is coming up everywhere And though I’ve walked the line I’m burning love inside Burning love Like a fire A most twisted desire Burning love Like a fire Fervent love won’t expire Out from the confines of my mind Blue lotus is coming up everywhere Out of the darkness Towards the light Blue lotus is coming up everywhere Out of my head And into my heart Blue lotus is coming up everywhere And though I’ve walked the line I’m burning love inside Burning love Like a fire A most twisted desire Burning love Like a fire Fervent love won’t expire Walk the line Burning love inside All the time A twisted desire Burning love Like a fire A most twisted desire Burning love Like a fire Fervent love won’t expire

What’s the use of a heart when it’s broken? What’s the use of breath if you make me breathless? I’ll pry open your heart of stone Filled with love so you’re never alone I’ll be your mirror I’ll be your reflection I’ll be your mirror I’ll be your reflection The day’s long but I long for your sweet touch Enamored with my dearest crush I’ll pry open your heart of stone Despite that I’m just an unknown I see you in me And though I’m broken I’ll be your mirror I’ll be your reflection I’ll be your mirror I'll be your reflection

about

The usual process with recording, mixing and mastering. Basically involves using a drum loop first then going back in there with a guitar, coming up with a riff then adding bass, lead guitar and keyboards. The songs basically write themselves via this method.
Anyways, like the last effort, motifs are archetypal by nature. A lot of it is centered around shadow integration - the subconscious and anahata (the heart chakra). The heart is governed by Leo and is the Sun. The more this energy center is opened up, the greater capacity to give and receive unconditional love. There’s also little stories in there or some sage wisdom. As always, I enjoy these sorts of projects, they’re fun and allow me to explore my own consciousness. Thanks for taking the time to listen! Enjoy!

Best,
Blake
