Lyrics:

Tides of life flow down upon me
Surging and subsiding is their nature
I try to move with their changing rhythms
Hoping that I don't get swept away

Possibilities...doubt... desires... apathy
Expectations... changes... hope... reality

This ebb and flow
Is all I know
Eroding me away
To a paler shade of gray

Currents keep on pulling to and frow
Endless undulations of the cycle
Trapped within this vortex of distortion
Each new wave a greater stress on me

Ecstasy... delusions... intentions... inconsistency
Belief... ignorance... confusion... truth

This ebb and flow
Is all I know
Eroding me away
To a paler shade of gray
Drowning in the tears
Washing out the years
It permeates my skin
And I am wearing thin

This is one of the longest things I've written, and the first substantial song I've recorded! Some tracks in the mix are probably too quiet, and others might be too loud, but I oh well. Subsequent recordings will probably have better sound quality, once I get more used to using Audacity. ALL music was written and played by myself, and nothing here was looped (not even the percussion, which I made by manually whacking away on a synthesizer set to a bass drum/snare voice). So that may explain any lack of rhythm you hear, hehe.

I own the copyright to everything here. Enjoy. There's more to come!
