I'd like to see the ocean floor I'd like to see the faces in the mirror Darkness it's said was coming with the wind we believe in demons, now we're coming in sets of shadows, yes a single filed line Am I doing well? I'm not doing well Am I doing well tonight

I am becoming you Leave

Tiny judges in a watching room They are hating, they are waiting which color dominates this current plane I am changing, who's not changing, wide eyed laughing, son Did you ever really think You were gonna make it out of here And all your public desires Are protected from the want of fear Look away from my eyes Look away from my eyes Look away from my eyes Look away from my eyes See your feet Rancid lace wiping away waste In a record trip of time and space You disdain what I am Manipulated by plastic hands Son, did you ever really think You were gonna make it out of here And all your public desires Are protected from the want of fear Look away from my eyes Look away from my eyes Look away from my eyes Look away from my eyes This is affecting me Super flow psychosis Green teethed neurosis Your painted dress is not as bright as mine Bleeding for meaning Electric eel feeling Aren't you glad we both live here

Change 02:46
Walk me through green leaves and love me Slow down the world turns so faintly Riding the winds we blow away Silently we change Passing emotion and cycling Running from demons unchanging Quiet souls roaming in circles Forevermore a shade

Hello to fog again Love and wind when she was then Passaging I have been here we are again and we love and we try to stay sharp but today all is well Will we ever arrive Hello to fog again Waves of this are all there is And we love And we try To stay sharp but today All is well Will we ever arrive I don't go home to predict That summer ages are missed You do not let it be I am walking to the night sky And it's me and god I have been searching for so long Show me I've been gone Years have gone past I remember Touching different skies Here with myself I am walking Down a sleeping drive You are a coward You're asleep And you will not survive here Hey It's okay Hey Once my father said To be truly awake Walk with wonder You are young and pinballing Hello to fog again Love and wind when she was then Passaging I have been Here we are again And we love And we try To stay sharp but today All is well Will we ever arrive When it's cold outside Hey It's okay Hey Once I saw myself Years into the past I could not find it, I Could never truly grasp

Maybe if I leave I'll find my lungs Maybe if I return I'll never age Maybe if I die I'll be let in If I wish, I'll be more than me When I was young and when I knew When things were easier to do We never learned how to grow up We ran naked from the cops So hey, hello, where did you go Where are all you people now Telling me I'll fall somehow And hey, today Is the day I found a way To get the hell out of this place The reason that I keep to myself The reason I hate everyone else The thing that I have to let you know Is that I'm trying to let go So hey, hello, where did you go Where are all you people now Telling me I'll fall somehow And hey, today Is the day I found a way To get the hell out of this place -- What's the.. Well there's obviously a disconnect I really do care about you I care about you too what's happening? I really don't know Jesse First skipped message Listen, don't worry so much. Right now your life is like a game of pinball and you're the ball. You aim yourself in a direction you feel strongly about, realize you're gonna get bounced around a lot, and you hope for the best. It's gonna be okay. I love you son Fucking turtle Yeah uh, what was that, Elmo? You suck did you drive home last night? Bye Jesse I love you personality formation complete. Congratulations, you are 100% ass-hole -- So hey, hello, where did you go Where are all you people now Telling me I'll fall somehow And hey, today Is the day I found a way To get the hell out of this place So hey, hello, where did you go Where are all you people now Telling me I'll fall somehow And hey, today Is the day I found a way So get the fuck out of my face -- Jesse I love you, Jesse I do. Father in heaven has sent me to you. I want to kiss you, I want to hear you, singing so softly that you love me too.

For years I've fucking ducked my head For nothing let's put this to bed Stick in the sickening silence of symmetry Mother fucking blood sucking psychophant parasites stuck to me Stick in the sickening silence of symmetry Mother fucking blood sucking psychophant parasites stuck to Stick in the sickening silence of symmetry Mother fucking blood sucking psychophant parasites stuck to Go ahead talk shit you little fucking bitch Act offended then go gossip on some petty shit Can't think for yourself Can't even be alone That's because you're fake You little mother fucking clone Your star sign is this dick You couldn't swallow it Antidepressants and vodka can't stop your shit talk Sorry you're a bitch Oh yeah, you're the shit Opened your legs so they all know you're a bad bitch Fuck all of you actor fucking posers Our lives are actually Not about you Your fake opinions aren't smart or funny You want to make the world a better place? Go and wipe all that paint off your face Bitch You don't have to fake it every fucking day That mannequin brain's been getting in your way -- He looks like He's wearing a dunce cap over there by himself He does that to himself

Regrets 05:23
I watched him crumble down I wasn't there to say Know I am your friend I always go away I'll say I am afraid And crumple down in fear I am not a man And I cannot be here I'll say I am afraid I'll freeze and kill the light I'll run into a wall Endlessly tonight I'll say I am afraid The water's just too high I've jumped and skipped my life I didn't say goodbye I don't know what to do I have no face to fight This trial in my life That keeps me up at night I walk a way in black A cave who speaks of death To murder all the beasts And stand above the rest I don't know what to do I have no face of death To murder all the beasts And stand above the rest I ask and I've been told It's all just in your mind To grow into these shoes And leave the fear behind I ask and I've been told (Can you hear me? Can you hear me out there?) It's all just in your mind (You gotta listen in. It's not all bad) To grow into these shoes (I know I've been gone. I know I've made some changes) And leave the fear behind (I hope you can hear the music again) These scary days when I am young And when I do not know When my body fights my mind And everywhere I go When nothing works and is your fault And everything's a ghost You are alive, the sun is up And there is time to go

about

The Silver Lake is a name that represents to me some place in my soul that I look for every day. When I was young, I had these heated moments of inspiration late at night and so many memories and events in my past kind of pushed themselves into this space in my mind when I was back home. I would go outside at two or three in the morning when I was in highschool almost every night and play guitar, my dad got mad at me for it. I would play, and look at the stars, and the trees, and hear every distant noise tumbling around me at that time in the night and I would feel connected. To me, that connection is what God is. That place that I would go is a place where I could be in connection to my purpose in life, the world, around me; my soul. And so, the name of this album is a representation of that. This is my soul, and this music is the best way I know how to keep that place alive in myself. The songs follow a timeline throughout the past 6 years of my life.

The band is based in Atlanta, Georgia.
