Bralph Derek, the talented frontman/guitar player of Owl Paws, doesn't fail to impress with his first full length solo release. The lo fi recording technique only adds to the morose quality of Derek's voice. The addition of piano makes this a perfect eery album to listen to on rainy days. Superb warm sounds for your ears to soak in, I will always enjoy these tracks. I love the interlude track let love go as well as hill ridden skyline. Favorite track: hill ridden skyline.

acting right 01:45

cascade spilling still feeling the clouds where my vacancy hides pulling me back down is this not what you wanted? is this not what you need? all my sentiment returned, a mirror reflecting oh no we've left all loss in anguish torn by the turning of the tides we can surrender now, and let go of it all but c'mon we haven't gone far enough We haven't gone far enough strange hard feelings settled in the dust blood in the foot prints ran just to fall wilted in summer on the river bed floated down in love but washed up dead oh no we've left all loss in anguish torn by the turning of the tides we can surrender now, and let go of it all but c'mon we haven't gone far enough We haven't gone far enough

ignore the pulse ingrained your heart to see the truth is to feel the confusion of the earth bylaws written statements murmured scrambling your thoughts intention scraped by chin got caught i'm torn up, jaw hurts been hiding out so damn long if we all keep on thinking of only ourselves we're gonna burn this place to the ground when you love your currency more than your spirit don't where it came from but you're so glad to hear it all these bylaws written murmured through the ages it's so hard to live without your name in the pages i'm torn up, jaw hurts been hiding out so damn long if we all keep on thinking of only ourselves we're gonna burn this place to the ground

all i have 02:36
it must be something you didn't say and you won't explain now it's easier to run away directionless, lost at sea alone alone is where we must be and i know i've given all i could but you know i'd give you all i have so cold and clearly defined i couldn't ever do you like that the willing of my heart pretending we're better than begging for some answers when you hit the road i couldn't run away without you my love where are you now? and i know i've given all i could but you know i'd give you all i have

white flower 01:08
smoking till i fall asleep sitting up in my bed choked when i looked for a face at 3 am again its gone from bad to worse to fixed now the white flower can't rehearse the spring coming now
7.
with one eye shut i led you through a pitch black void to an empty room with all we own in one small box you held my hand and i sang a song the hill ridden skyline swallows my pride as i leave the dark behind morning wake wide eyed with a weight on my chest the sun it burns the concrete until the rain comes the storm is still the same the hill ridden skyline swallows my pride as i leave the dark behind

let love go 01:56

day dream 02:57
while i sleep i peel the paint where it rises the dreams i keep unknown the tension holds disguises i could never believe my own words all apologies coerced now I'm threading this guilt like silk a hollow day dream a dark night still washed ashore alone in time to witness the shipwreck no where to run return your conscience holds your vices i could never believe my own words all apologies coerced now I'm threading this guilt like silk a hollow day dream a dark night still a hollow day dream

i never took the medicine you gave me i left it on the shelf its poison poetry your loss of words distracts me your loss of words distracts me turn away run towards the light and off the map we don't fit don't fight and don't come back heartbeat strong keep beating heartbeat strong keep bleeding i cant go now a day without your face like an addict hides his ways i cant escape the weight of the waves turn away run towards the light and off the map we don't fit don't fight and don't come back heart beat strong keep beating heart beat strong keep bleeding
