May's Skeyes 03:51

"I tried to picture you in a flowered ballet, All grace and poise you easily display. Then suddenly your so far far away, Only to be found in my deepest dismay. Well i try to keep it brief but my words get in the way, They stumble on themselves in complete disarray. You trudge on stoic like without complaint. Ignoring all the signs that i was your fate. Your the fruit of Fall when flavor is supreme. Knowing all along you live inside my dreams. You trudge on stoic like without complaint. Ignoring all the signs that i was your fate. May's skeyes they do alight Like desert jewels in the night. Rising sun they burn so bright Close so fast at the sign of fright.

Memorelaine 03:40
lyrics

Steered through the storm i seethed. Alive on a mountain i breathed A purest of notions i seeked. Wonder & warmth you bequeathed. I heard a drop of pure noise Lost my grace & sense of poise. This allusion of disillusion The end will remain my choice. I hear the birds overhead Left stranded but not yet dead. Sanity starts to wane... Walk down MemorElaine. So endlessly i walk thru the mire There still lurks an endless desire To leave this impenetrable cold And dance thru the raging fire. A riddle wrapped in one big surprise An enigma that failed to hide The nature of its untimely demise No one cared to ever find out why. Why? I hear the birds overhead Left stranded but not yet dead. Sanity starts to wane... Walk through MemorElaine.

Lay w/ The Lions 02:31
lyrics

Once had a lovers heart, carried a dreamers dream Held this head aloft while living w/ ease. I see that your right & i'm making no sense How does a dreamers dream always descend? Witnessed the many rues, excuses lay bare & truce Shoulder to cry on still dry from unuse. Argued it senseless w/ emotions all hoarse Lips i have lied through are splintered and sore. Take a deep breath before you Lay w/ The Lions. The flame we had carried now kindle and buried. I hope for our own sake we'll give instead of take But hopes a big mistake when there's promises made. The auburn dusk is still, storm it sends a chill Left w/ submission and feeling ill. W/ mischievous ease the night tumbled forth We've ceased the battle till our next war. Take a deep breath before you Lay w/ The Lions. The flame we had carried now kindle and buried.

Dark Horse 03:03
lyrics

Little room to compromise A little room to run & hide. From the fear you may be surprised That these eyes hold no lies. The Dark Horse when i surmised Words you never felt we're right. Fate deemed to far to align Stars quilted in the moonlight. Search for a moment to finally break free From the endless misery. Close the blinds to the memories I never wanted, never seeked. Hang your sorrow like a weathered wreath. Hardly be bothered to ever speak. Candles burn cause you never breathed Out the light your darkness needs. Finding comfort in your mood swings A desert angel w/ clipped wings. Tell me what your flowers bring Wilted from your wedding ring. Lost the panache and my rueful smile Always walking the same old mile. A little charm could do no harm From this beguiling little child. Hang your sorrow like a weathered wreath Hardly be bothered to ever speak. Candles burn cause you never breathed Out the light your darkness needs.

about

Aprils Intents Towards Desire was a 5 song E.P that was written & recorded during the month of April & early May 2013 in between sessions for An Audience w/ The Winter Wolves.

It's sparse in sound to give the melodies and words room to breath. Hope you enjoy it. xo.

For Elaine.

Lamp Of Memory was recorded during the months of April and May of 2020. All songs were recorded at home on my phone. I wrote these songs lyrically a year ago, but musically wrote them during the 2 months shown.
