A Solar Flair

1.
Gateway 03:20
What does a mirror know about what it sees If the eyes are a gateway to the universe And I’m confided to this place I created, I created Your silence I will meet you there We are in tidal forces A moon shaped rift beneath the pressure Lookin’ for all the ways I could make sense Your silence I will meet you there I didn’t want to die The memories seem to be forgotten The memories, the memories Lookin’ for all the ways Your silence What if these things that hold us together Aren't of our making? These words I share with you mean nothing if not heard by your ears
2.
More Human 03:29
The path I try to show you Is the one less tread on It’s the one I fear the most Although I haven't tried to tell you I wish I was stronger So much for being strong I wish I was more human What makes me an unaffected veil Of security in my own shell? There is strength in knowing we are a spiritual recreation of importance So at least I think I haven't been okay with How meaningless this feeling is I wish I was stronger I wish I was more human You are perfection in my eyes You are no longer absent of shape You are a miracle in daylight You are a life that’s waiting to live I wish I was stronger So much for being strong I wish I wish I was more human

Each time I find myself confused Of which way the universe pulls So what if I'm uninfected Would that make me an alien? So what if i've been neglecting my pain? This time things will so different I’m lost but a minute ago Time-space doesn't have its hand on me This time things will be so different I was lost but a minute ago Time-space doesn't have its hand on me When the paint’s all dry Will there be an answer? I’ll be going but never gone I’ll be going but never gone Each time I find myself confused of which way the universe pulls So what if I'm unaffected Would that make me an alien? So what if I've been neglecting you? This time things will so different Im lost but a minute ago Time-space doesn't have its hand On me I’ll be going but never gone

When you feel l like a thousand pounds With no hand to help you out I will make it my duty to make it clear To make it clear you are loved I won’t make it a choice for you to hear me You gotta step outside these walls Forgetting where you came from When you can’t see a finish line Your eyes are like a mirror I will make it my duty to make it clear To make it clear you are loved I won’t make it a choice for you to hear me I will make you feel love if it’s the last thing I do My small universe so self obsessed and self absorbed Is effected by you I will make you feel love if it’s the last thing I do All I can decide is this feeling I will make you feel love if it’s the last thing I do I will make you feel love if it’s the last thing I do My small universe is effected by you

The Arrow 03:40
Losing you was nothing but preparation what I thought I knew about the solar system Wouldn't dare change your mind Your wretched heart is an arrow It’s only thought is survival And all I want is something sacred and pure A glass of sunshine on the seashore I am a rock You are an ocean Why won't you carry me? I am a rock And you are an ocean Why won't you carry me? Your wretched heart is an arrow It’s only thought is survival And all I want is something sacred and pure A glass of sunshine on the seashore
6.
Don’t sell yourself short Every glimpse into your heart Brings me closer, closer to god Every taste for your spark I look to extinguish Unnecessary, unnecessary, unnecessary thoughts I, I, am beginning to see I, I, am beginning to fall Forget darknesses poisonous grasp Motivations power-rich direction I, I am beginning to see I, I, am beginning to fall There’s a way we all came to be All our meanings don’t change a thing All the love in the world wouldn’t even matter If you were not used to being loved How can you play a game with someone who won’t play fair? What is living a life that’s lost its proportion? What is our relationship to nature? Can you tell me that?
7.
I always find a reason to never let myself hurt you I’ll be a fly on the wall Moving past our differences is all I could really hope for You still remain the same The heart I once knew Is the only thing Keeping me away from you No matter how hard I try to make you drink This cup always runs dry No matter how hard I try to make you think You’ll always find a reason Always find a reason To remain the same The heart I once knew Is the only thing keeping me away from you ohh You still remain the same The heart I once knew ohh Is the only thing keeping me away from you
8.
Why’d we always walk on the shady side? I don’t want to come around and change the way I see Our connection is a moonlit night Why’d we even talk if the only thing of concern is me? I don’t want to be anything Other than the shape that love made I wish I could decide whose side I’m really on Whose side I’m really on Can’t you give me a breath? I’m gasping as you hug the tank I won’t forget, no I won’t, those repercussions So why the need to remind me of the moonlit road? Why the need, you’ve already shown me I don’t want to be anything Other than the shape that love made I wish I could decide whose side I’m really on I wish it were mine
9.
Does anything made sense? Sometimes we live in a life where everything seems to be so full There was a time where art used to mean something There was a time where we used to hold onto our hopes, our dreams Now they beat it out of us as fast as they can I’m tired, I’m trying to understand Children of the sun. That’s what we are We’re children of the sun We’re kids that we don’t understand our obsessions We’re just kids we’re just kids and we think we know everything I don’t understand how we think we know everything Why are we so afraid to fail? Why are we so afraid to see? Why do we need answers? Why can’t we be wrong? Children of the sun we are, we’re just children of the sun When I was a kid I wanted to be everything I wanted to hold the world, still trying to hold onto the world It keeps running faster and faster and faster I guess I’m just that kid still But arn’t we all kids? Aren’t we all kids

When I was frozen in time the only voice I knew wasn’t mine So unfamiliar and unclear I am naked in A Solar Flair Awakened by the astroid Just a baby in the creator’s noise Just a baby in the creator’s noise On the outskirts of our planetary system There lays a new heaven It’s unclear if I’ll make it, afterall Only visions and dreams exist here I am nothing without the fire in your heart In the creator’s noise we are In the creator’s noise we are

Afterlife 04:12

about

Where to begin. Living in a material world unavoidably involves experiencing pain. I mean log on to socials for instance. This album was inspired by the urge to have a more healthy relationship with the world. I cannot determine what will happen to me but I can influence how I react. The notion of living a life from the lens of spiritual detachment was brought on by becoming familiar with the simple yet profound teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, a text I was introduced too in my childhood and read during lockdown. It struck a chord how living honestly can seem so simple. I do believe it starts with you. Each person you speak to throughout the day, treat them with respect and patience. If everyone did that the world would be a different place. Did I succeed with A Solar Flair in becoming a more well adjusted person? It's up to you, the listener, to decide. Thank you for taking the time to listen. It means the world.
