  lyrics · angel  
Music and Lyrics by A. Thomas Tran

I was getting by just fine
Life was simpler in yesterday's threads
With first contact unraveling me
How could life get so complicated?

We pressed palms in innocence
Gradually gravity disagreed with total science
Directions I found that I fell to
Were forces where all paths led to you

[prechorus]
Being near you felt like standing on an edge
I stumbled, I fell, but you dove and held tight
Your wings sprad us from the ledges
And still we traverse the skies

[chorus]
I believe I know what's right
I can tell a contradiction
I believe I know what's truth
I think I can tell what's fiction

Though unsure of my existence
I believe in one thing
With eternal consistence
I will always believe in you
Sweet Angel

Some of us say we know there's a higher being
But when will we agree for sure?
If my dreams shall lay in heaven
It's cause an angel descended to earth

If I find my soul in reincarnation
We'll save these memories beyond this membrane
We'll sing our songs again
As before, we will beyond this world

[prechorus]
We found ourselves in synchrony
Together we found harmony

[chorus]
Some believe they do what's right
When within they know it's contradiction
Some believe they know what's truth
When others have shown that it was fiction
Though unsure of this existence
I've believed in one thing
With eternal consistence
I'll always believe in you...
Sweet Angel

Music and Lyrics by A. Thomas Tran

And I still don't know why
Why my life is fumbling
With a wave of goodbye
All my love came crumbling

My senses six underground
Why did this truth come around
Beyond the reason and rhyme
I lost the Gem that forever shined

Ode to joy our worlds combined
Together was the highest high
How does rain wash away this twist of fate
All I know is the blue sky of yesterday

[chorus]
The sun set at the warmth of your touch
The hands of time devoured the sweetest love
But mother nature will never strip away
Blue Sapphire memories of yesterday

And I still don't know why
Why star screams plummeting
The sunrise passed us by
The crossroads crumbling

My senses fell to the ground
Well when did this wall come around
Hell I don't give a God damn about mysterious ways
Will someone tell me why the world works this way

[bridge]
The full moon madness
The poetic sadness
The nightbird sings
The diamond ring
Our lives linger
Our love lost
Your beauty so true but our stars no longer crossed

[chorus]
The sun set at the sound of your voice
The hands of time devoured the sweetest joy
But mother nature will never me strip away
From the golden memory of yesterday

The sun set at the warmth of your touch
The hands of time devoured the sweetest love
But mother nature will never strip away
Blue Sapphire memories of yesterday

  lyrics · chapter ii  
Music and Lyrics by A. Thomas Tran

You were beautiful as ever in the night light
Looking back to the way you made me smile still makes me cry
And I remember the night we kissed for the first time
How the hours flew by midnight eclipsed and so did goodnight

I fell asleep for days and dreamed that in the morning I couldn't find you
In my dreams I built an airship and searched for any sign of you
Sailed through the sky and trailed the stream of your perfume
But when the last hint of you was gone there was nothing I could do

Emptiness was trembling within me
Sleep paralysis suspended breathing
Oblivious to daybreak I kept you waiting
All this time you tried everything to awaken me

Steadfast into my dreams you spoke
At last into your dreambook I woke
But my eyes unfolded to a dusty page
My arrival a chapter too late

[chorus]
Lost in silence without you
Reflections into your point of view
This what it felt like for you too?
Lift me up and I'll love you truly
Together we'll compose a new dream
Inbetween the words of chapter II

Your sorrow scribed memories deepened my heartache
In your journal you drew a lighthouse to seek beyond the entry pages
After I climbed up I glimpsed rays of your red stellar streaks I cried out
But you were sailing away there was no turning you around

I wrote down my emotions like I was in a lucid dreamworld
Braced my spawned archery bow and reached into my quiver
Arrowheads cast in the shape of a song true as silver
In the key that would undo the lock to the next chapter
[chorus]
Lost in silence without you
Reflections into your point of view
This what it felt like for you too?
Lift me up and I'll love you truly
Together we'll compose a new dream
Inbetween the words of chapter II


  lyrics · forte love  
Music and Lyrics by A. Thomas Tran

From the corner of my sight a ruby is unveiled
Surfacing above rays of white static I exhale
Refuse what I know is the closest I'll ever drift to
Scarlet perfection and completeness captive

My eyes are wide open but my senses are shut down
I treasure the luminous warmth of the song you sound
And I fade out and into the glows of your hellos
Covers me wondering of crowns now dethroned

[prechorus]
You're here with me
I feel your heartbeat
Hum into my ears
I hear you loud and clear

[chorus]
Echoes in the halls
Winters without words
Memories etched in sand
Reaching forte love

From the corner of my sight a night lit world unfolds
Your words melt into pictures of euphoric episodes
Silhouettes of reveries never perfect
As the beautiful gem before the dazzle she projects

[prechorus]
You're here with me
I feel your heartbeat
Hum into my ears
I hear you loud and clear

[chorus]
Echoes in the halls
Winters without words
Memories etched in sand
Reaching forte love
