I Don't Want It To End 04:43
lyrics
buy track
I can hear you talking In the middle of the night Feel your current tugging me In the warm green waves of light See your breath in packages Of ribbons so unreal That only dreaming compliments Devotion that I feel That I feel I don't want it to end No, I don't want it to end and leave you When I peel away the layers To find what's hiding in this world A covenant of wonder In the brown eyes of a girl I'm especially hanging on to see How blessed this becomes A burning light to help me see A candle on the sun I don't want it to end No, I don't want it to end and leave you

Revel 03:50
lyrics

I'm a heartbeat away From it all being over Dancing in our bliss Drowning in the fire Every breathe of air Every truth or dare Every grain of sand Revel while you can Revel while you can Revel while you can Where is the devil? Cuz I want I want to sell my soul Sell my soul for riches and gold Cuz I want to live my life before it's time to fold

It Will Always Be Today 03:42
lyrics

Those looking for truth, truth, truth I'm looking for you, you, yoo-hoo Time is an illusion It's always moving and never starting over Don't look back to yesterday There's no trace Don't look forward But search for grace Take my hand I'll lead the way You will find It will always be today Send me your thoughts To outer space Keep dreaming about Leaving that place Time is an illusion It's always moving and never starting over Don't look back to yesterday There's no trace Don't look forward But search for grace Take my hand I'll lead the way You will find It will always be today

Never Gonna Get Those Years Again 06:09
lyrics
buy track
They took away The only thing I ever wanted Or needed Or that mattered I’ve gotta say I'm living like a silver bullet With my finger On the trigger But I’ll never pull it Never gonna get those years again Never gonna get those years again Never gonna get those years again Never gonna get those years again I find my path Through a lucid dream Uninterrupted Finding meaning In the comfort One last chance to find the words That wouldn’t matter I’ll try to explain it I’ll try to regain it As a father As a friend As a paladin of addiction With conviction Redemption A suspension Of My Apprehension To death without pension Spiritual mission A pornographic litany of liberty We can lie that it’s our destiny But testing me I want to see I can lie to myself but I know that I'm never never never gonna get those years again Never gonna get those years again Never gonna get those years again Never gonna get those years again Never gonna get those years

Farewell To The West 04:01
lyrics
buy track
Years were long They felt wrong And at times Hope was gone I had to say farewell to the west I always knew that it would be wrong To stay away from home for so long So farewell to the west Dreaming of sleeping And waking vermilion Faces of loved ones crest Over my soul Orchards of cactus And familiar razors Cutting my skin so I won’t lose control And back home Which was where? Wasn’t here, wasn’t there I had to say farewell to the west I always knew that it would be wrong To stay away from home for so long So farewell to the west Dreaming of sleeping And waking vermilion Faces of loved ones crest Over my soul Orchards of cactus And familiar razors Cutting my skin so I won’t lose control Now I only see you Glancing in the rear view I had to say farewell to the west I always knew that it would be wrong To stay away from home for so long So farewell to the west And one day I just might Head on back if you’re by my side Only then would I return to the west

Sonic Black Light 03:05
lyrics

You find solace in the movement Weaving though your graphs Breathing water Deep in oceans And anything that comes in your way Like waves Timing your heartbeat with the currents Pumping blood Making ripples Flowing steady and unnoticed in the dark Fathoms deep and sonic black light

Pale Blue Dot 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Just a pale blue dot Under a beam of light Gaze into that snow globe It’s world globe and it’s always shaken up well Shaken to hell As far as I can tell How’d we get so lucky to even be here at all? Now I see that dot Floating in the universe How insignificant all this is But what’s the takeaway for thoughts like that? It’s almost too much to face That we’re alone in this place But if you face it head on Here’s what we learn about life Live a little simpler Be a little kinder If you need a reminder Act a little wiser Especially me I'm probably the worst of all

I Guess I Do Like Masks 03:36
lyrics
buy track
I want to hide I want to cover up my face When I walk in this place I shouldn’t feel bad Cuz I’m the best I ever had It still makes me sad I want to start a fight I know it’s not right But it’d be fun tonight When it comes to you I always know what's true And that's the best that I can do I think I do like masks Guess I do like masks I think I do like masks I guess I do like masks Feel like a pig But I’m a twig My head is big Grandpa wore a wig I take my pills to get a thrill But if I stop at night I get the chills It’s hard to rhyme every single time Maybe I want to change it up When it comes to you I always know what’s true And that’s the best that I can do I think I do like masks Guess I do like masks I think I do like masks I guess I do like masks I think I do like masks Guess I do like masks I think I do like masks I guess I do like masks

Foi 04:26
lyrics

Ghost of a friend On a wedding day Invited me back home Could not repay his generosity My sickness it had grown Everyone gathered opened arms I opened something else In that box I found regret Pandora won’t let me forget When you needed me most I deserted you In your time of need I wasn’t there You had your faith In someone right in front of you You had your faith in me I wasn’t there Dreaming of a special place One where we once lived Dropped your ring into a lake But bonds will never break In this head and in this soul I can take the reins My body’s strong I’m feeling like I can steer this train When you need me most I won’t desert you In your time of need I’ll be there Have your faith In someone that’s right before you Have your faith in me and I’ll be there When you need me most I won’t desert you In your time of need I’ll be there You had your faith In someone right before you Have your faith in me and I’ll be there

Authentic Self 04:00
lyrics

I’m always looking around For something lost but never found If you were to take that away I’d have nothing to do today Let me find you Just this once My authentic self Let me be you And live inside my skin My authentic self My authentic self I’m always filling my days Doing the same things in different ways When I’m lost and stray The devil surely takes his pay Let me love you Be part of you Then I’ll let you go again My authentic self Let me be you So I can become me Then I’ll let you go again My authentic self

Gone Away For You 05:34

When I leave you That’s the only way I’ll stay In your sphere In your gilted space Back but forward I’ll have favor It’s not a path leading home No it's not a path leading home But it’s my sanctuary of loneliness I’ve gone away for you I’ve gone away for you Now it’s over That’s the only way I’ll stay in your good graces I have found my faith Practiced petty bravery Hanging on my halo It’s not a path leading home No it's not a path leading home But it's my sanctuary of loneliness I’ve gone away for you I’ve gone away for you I’ve gone away for you Leaving was the only way I’d ever hold on to you Finding solace in the moments I’m breaking through I need a life line hurry Tired of waiting no more waiting I need a lifeline hurry Tired of waiting Leaving was the only way I’d ever hold on to you Finding solace in the moments I’m breaking through I need a life line hurry Tired of waiting no more waiting I need a lifeline hurry Tired of waiting I’ve gone away for you I’ve gone away for you I’ve gone away for you I’ve gone away for you

Every time I turn around I hurt, hurt, hurt myself Every line I just can’t help myself from crossing I hurt, hurt, hurt myself I just can’t help myself I’m always coming back for more To the pain store To the pain store To the pain store To the pain store When I saw you Walk in that door I knew my life would change When I saw you Walk in that door I knew my life would begin new When I saw you Walk into my life I knew my life would change Here we go Another year Another year Here we go into oblivion

about

Patternicity is the culmination of several years of songwriting I did while traveling the US. It is mainly about my experiences, many of which are emotionally raw and personal. Some songs are fantasy but several are from someone else's perspective.

I worked really hard to have a retro production style. Some of the songs have a tinge of a 1970s-1980s sound quality. Coming from a electronic music past, it would have been really easy to make these songs more modern and flashy. I wanted a challenge though. I wanted to know that I could produce a song in the style of ,say, Bonnie Raitt via 1973. (Authentic Self).

I Don't Want It To End is a love song....not to a person but to my world and to existence in general. I feel like I needed to start the album with a disclaimer of sorts. No matter what I convey throughout these 12 songs, I wanted it to be known that I truly am amazed by the importance of life.

Revel is a two part song where someone has hit rock bottom and near their end. They have nothing left to lose and make a deal. After the ink is dry then the party starts. I really enjoyed recording the sax on this track.
