Invisible Staring straight through me This holy reflection It built this soul No place to go Nothing It wants Nothing it takes No will to show Produce, create, destroy, erase I know The only way to burn brightly Invisible The body will overflow Again

I am I am god Breathing behind me I see refracted light Fire shines through me Staining my ego white If you stare too much I will burn into your iris And you'll never stare again after you Learn my name If you learn too much You will never sleep a moment Cause the pattern is an omen Of the future If you breathe too much I will fire up the furnace Take the lungs and epidermis In the scorching flame If you burn to much You'll be trampled by the bull The only force that pulls On my empty name Waiting behind Me I feel your empty glare Flesh can't define me Can't take it anywhere If you stare too much I will burn into your iris And you'll never stare again after you Learn my name If you learn too much You will never sleep a moment Cause the pattern is an omen Of the future If you breathe too much I will fire up the furnace Take the lungs and epidermis In the scorching flame If you burn to much You'll be trampled by the bull The only force that pulls On my empty name You think you gonna take what you want You think you only burn what you need You think you gonna hide what you want to You think you can hide from me You thought i thought you knew me I thought you'd see You thought you looked straight through me You thought you'd get rid of me I've got to be something I've gotta burn something Just watch me Just watch this burn

Won't see the same face twice Looking through the Crowd If you can cast the dice Ya gotta get something I wouldn't count the trees Irrelevant to me Come play in my light I can be the sunshine But You better hold my hand better hold me up I've never been the type Who cares what you want And you better pull my weight better seek me out I shouldn't have to work For what everybody has Heart heart Hey now Contact is all you need Breaking through the crowd There is no give or take Come erase all my problems I wouldn't count the sand Too much to comprehend You're just drug Dissolve into my sunshine But You better hold my hand better hold me up I've never been the type Who cares what you want And you better fade away Better simmer down I shouldn't have to change I get better everyday Hey now I felt your glare Saw the horns Heard your breath And I Saw the bull Starring out From the rest And I

Everything 06:16
lyrics

Everything you do Avoids being you Every call you make A cry to escape Listen here I know You haven't got much time Fire burns so fast You wont reach the finish line I just do not want to talk to you today I just do not want to go outside today I just couldn't find the words I tried to say Every step you take Stomping on the grave Ignoring the pain Just to make a name Crying just Watch me now Falling down Hear me then Singing Falling off your perch And calling off of work Better find a way To explain This lapse of productivity To yourself

Orbital 05:29
lyrics

I am in orbit Floating on top of the world But really falling Strength, pride, and arrogance Have I just been lying to myself again? My Strength, My pride, My arrogance Circling right round to the start Gravity Gravity, kill me slowly This is here to rip me apart Stretching, and expanding This is here to take me apart I am Refined Processed and purified But really artificial Been Circling round again Couldn't tell you where Gravity. Pulling me No one seemed to care Been circling round again Been spiraling down Been circling round again Been circling down Gravity, kill me slowly This is here to rip me apart Stretching, rearranging Circling right round to the start Circling right round to the start

Just like im sleeping and i can't escape the sound This bloody dream again i think i'm going down And where are we off too now Run me through I cant touch the bull E-viscerate me. these Organs aren't kind to me there's No point in crying out You just can't seem to stomach your name Its true, yes you were Used. and no one wanted you And no one fought for you Its invisible now And you've always been Too stubborn to die But too weak to get it in Between the cracks you've fallen All the way down Listen here You can’t understand my sound Bloody these hands Bloody this name Bloody these horns Bloody the reign

Hey sky I wanna rip you up Let's pretend I was strong enough What more do you want from me Isn't it clear that i have given everything Is it enough It’s NEVER enough Im burning so quickly Isn't it clear that i am sorry Mistake my memory Never knew what to do When the fire stops I thought I knew what I know But pieces don't add up to anything I thought I knew where to go But I still can't focus on anything Try hard Go to bed Try hard Go to bed Listen here, I know you haven't got much time Fire burns so fast You'll never reach the finish line Hey sky Everythings drifting up I've given all, i've had enough The bull already called the bluff Sinking down No one will find me now The night is cold i'm all alone Dissolving into acetone What more do you want from me Isn't it clear that i have given everything Is it enough It’s NEVER enough Im burning too quickly Isn't it clear that i am sorry Mistake my memory Never knew what to do

When mistakes obscure my mind How am I supposed to find Anything Were my efforts all for show How am I supposed to know I'm too tired to try Too tired to think Yet I think I'm giving up everything Oh no I think There was never control I'm too tired to grow I know, I know, I know Just shut up and hold me Together please When the fire's dead and gone Just forget me if I'm wrong Again, again, and again, and again If the bull can take control Then you already should know The gravity I'm in I'll pick you up And spin around Don't worry I'm always gonna hold my ground I'll pick you up And twimst around Don't worry I'll always find a way To make it Out Walk on by And i'll never live it down But i'm never gonna give I'm never gonna live this down I'm never gonna break I'll never live it down And i'll never live it down I'm too tired to try Too tired to think Yet I think I'm giving up everything Oh no I think There was never control I'm too tired to grow I know i know I know Just shut up and hold me Together

Without the Birds 05:37

I Never knew the words Chasing after Birds Their flight defines my ground I am tossed around To-mor-row was always so far away Burn my skin, to keep the crows away I never saw the sky Feigning how to fly Burning out bone I cant heal Alone To-mor-row was always a world away Burn the bull, to keep my feet in place I used to dream In twos But with it came the bull I couldn't justify Any of my actions What did you see in me I'm just some wannabe Please let this spark tonight I'll melt into your sunshine A flutter in the field He laughs and rubs my ear I whisper to the moon May I see you soon To-mar-row is only a wink away Lift me up, so we can float away

I found the silence It crept right into bed Took me someplace underground Far outside my head I love the silence It kept me safe and sound And when my world tumbles down I will not stick around But i just keep on falling down Crashing into rocks I hear the people calling out But i do nothing at all Produce create destroy erase Produce erupt start over Produce create destroy erase Produce fall down start over And all the while I tried to blame it on the bull And all the while I tried to blame it on the bull Dust to dust Ash to ash I could have tried to change it Any day To make it last Buts thats the past Produce create destroy erase Produce erupt start over Produce create destroy erase Produce fall down start over And all the while I tried to blame it on the bull And all the while i was another animal But this This is Who i am And this Is where Where I stand Just watch me Just watch me Watch me Just watch me If you stare too much I will burn into your iris And you'll never stare again after you Learn my name Learn too much And you'll never sleep a moment Cause the pattern is an omen Of the future If you breathe too much I will fire up the furnace Take the lungs and epidermis In the scorching flame If you burn to much You'll be trampled by the bull If you burn to much You'll be trampled by the bull Gravity Kill me slowly This is here to rip me apart Stretching Expanding If you burn to much You'll be trampled by the bull If you burn to much You'll be trampled by the bull Just watch me (try hard) Just watch me (go to bed) Watch me (try hard) Just watch Pick me up and spin around Don't worry I'm always gonna hold my ground Pick me up and twimsts around Don't worry Don't worry To-Mar- row arrives

about

Hello all,

This album has been in the works for a looong time now. I'm very excited to finally lend it to your ears. Thank you so much for the support you have given me. Making something like this by myself takes an enormous amount of effort with very little in return, but the satisfaction I get when all the pieces come together is like nothing else. Also the kind words people have given me along the way are like beacons in the darkness. They light the path forward when all else is uncertain.

In terms of quality "Burning and the Bull" is leagues ahead of everything else I have produced. I know i say this every time i release something but it is true. It's going to be really hard to top this one later. The main difference between this and my old stuff is that I finally started taking mixing lessons, and I recently started working in stereo. That alone makes a huge difference in the sound quality. Switch from mono to stereo opens a whole new dimension of possibilities and I am extremely excited to show everyone the results.

Anyways, the album is great yadda yadda buy my album (Or listen to it for free if you want, that helps too)

And I suppose the last thing to say is that Burning and the Bull documents a period of my life that I hope is mostly behind me. I have been exposed to more failure in this past year than ever before. With that in mind, I use music to better explore my emotions and to regain a semblance of control. Hopefully the material on this record can be of use to some of you as well.

Anyways,
Thank you for your time and attention,
Wasp to Orchid
