about

A little song I wrote, recorded with some pals. We're going to make a whole collaborative album one of these days.

lyrics

You... Break your own heart while the whole world sleeps,
Hoping and praying for
Reconciliation.
And we... Can’t get to heaven on human feet.
And yet I cooperate with your
Meditations.

There might be a star out
Where you can barely see it.
But does anyone really care
If your name’s written on it?

Tell me... How do you get your money?
Would you cringe if I called you "honey?" Do you think this could ever last?
Because I... Don’t feel grown up enough to do this.
Just my luck, here comes your parents.
I guess I’d better make this fast.

There might be a star out
Where you can barely see it.
But does anyone really care
If your name’s written on it?

If paradise is real,
It’s not anywhere close to here.
My hometown gets me down if I’m being honest.
If you’re alright with letting go,
No gas, just cruise control.
Then I guess I’ll have to cut my losses.

Even if this all is fake,
Don’t you dare say it’s too late.
We all know you’ll be back next summer.
And if you can’t bring yourself to heal,
Tell me how I’m supposed to feel.
How was I to know your grand plans washed up bummers?

Duality
by Amie Waters

Ace took all of his experience from covering video game soundtracks and used it to create an ambient masterwork. These massive, lush soundscapes never seem dull, even in their quietest moments. John M. Bricker
