At times I feel I can't let go At times I feel I fall At times I can't help what I know At times I can't feel at all At times I look around this place At times I close my eyes At times I can't see behind your face To see what lies inside And now you've come here wanting To find out if it's true And though the clock is haunting It's looking only for you At odds at times I speak your mind At odds at times the odds are mine At odds at times you say you're mine At odds at times I find love is blind At odds with introspection At odds with open sky At odds with being so alone At odds with open eyes At times the odds are for the house At times the odds are bare At odds the times I realize That time is everywhere And now you've come here wanting To find out if it's true And though the clock is haunting It's looking only for you And maybe I'm convincing Or you think me a fraud But you can hear the ticking And now you wonder, how long? At odds at times I speak your mind At odds at times the odds are mine At odds at times you say you're mine At odds at times I find love is blind At odds at times At odds at times At odds at times At odds at times At odds, at odds, at odds, at odds, At odds at times I find love is blind I speak your mind The odds are mine You say you're mine I find love is blind...

Life Begins 05:04
We've come a long to be here tonight To dance under the moon And though there's things that we have seen all through our lives, None of it has any hold Here in this cocoon. Only if we try To understand that there's a time and place For each of us to gain. And, all we need is just our minds and our embrace To push away this fear and doubt and wash away this pain. The moment I open my eyes The moment that we realize Life begins the moment I open my eyes Life begins the moment that we realize We've come a long way to breathe free tonight To stand beneath this air And though our eyes are clouded we still find the light We'll pass away these nights and days And live without our cares Only if we try The moment I open my eyes The moment that we realize Life begins the moment I open my eyes Life begins the moment that we realize

What's happened to me? I can't express A change that comes so slowly Has grabbed me, I confess I don't have answers I don't have proofs I just know, when I'm out there, I grow cold and grow aloof They all fall The raindrops on my windowpane They tell me I'll see you again I don't know how, I don't know when I'll wait for you until the end. I feel the rivers I feel the skies I feel the oceans crashing They break inside my mind I feel the sunlight I feel the storm I feel the twilight And I try to understand its form. They all fall The raindrops on my windowpane They tell me I'll see you again I don't know how, I don't know when I'll wait for you until the end.

Love 05:05
Love It comes around It comes full circle It comes as a surprise Love It's unfamiliar It's unforgotten It shines bright in your eyes. Signs on the road Memories of a time we took away "alone" Found that we both know we loved. Love It has no memory It's extrasensory It boils inside my heart Love It's consequential It's more than sexual It aches when we're apart.

When the moonlight has passed And when the sun comes soon And we stand in the rising Looking through the glass I'll tell you of a broken spire I'll hold in the place of our desire And the mirrors we hold In the place of dreams Will reflect back, inside us, If we turn them so... On and on A mirror's song Shining back at you Reflecting in the dawn Comes the time In our lives We will find that we're reflections of a mind. On and on and on and on, On and on and on and on, On and on and on and on, On and on and on and on.... On and on A mirror's song Shining back at you Reflecting in the dawn Comes the time In our lives We will find that we're reflections of a mind.

Tell me, can you hear the calling? Can you hear the sky? I've come here often and alone To spread my wings and fly Here, along the sandy beaches, And here below the moon I just want you to understand Tomorrow comes too soon Will you try to remember? Will you forget? I know I've back on my road that I lost to twisted time Standing here with all my thoughts They echo through my mind The time we lost seems just an instant A memory fleeting fast I come to let it wash away I come to let it pass Will you try to remember? Will you forget? This time is precious We can't forget And though time marches on And the years are gone We can look to the stars above us. We can laugh, we can cry, Through it all survive See the world and its joy among us In your smile I have seen All my hopes and dreams Why should life be an endless twilight? We can laugh, we can cry, Through it all survive Full of faith, full of hope And love inside Full of love inside. Here we stand, now, at a crossroads We're standing in the rain We're watching with our eyes closed tight To wash away our pain Time it spins inside the circle No matter what we try I just want you to believe The spirit doesn't die And though time marches on And the years are gone We can look to the stars above us. We can laugh, we can cry, Through it all survive See the world and its joy among us. In your smile I have seen All my hopes and dreams Why should life be an endless twilight? We can laugh, we can cry, Through it all survive Full of faith, full of hope And love inside Faith, hope, love, inside. We can laugh, we can cry.

Hope 05:25
Looking out from a fog We see ourselves inside. We can see the things that we define. But if time moves so slowly, If change takes far too long, Tell me why we try Why we still hold on? We can try to close our minds And suffer through the years of pain. And we can try to live so blind And try to see through falling rain. We can live with open eyes And let it all just wash away. We can try to live our time And all it brings: As long as hope's alive. And though time moves so slowly Forever's but a night Looking at the stars and what they hide. And though life it seems an instant, We blink and find it's Passing by us We can try to live our time: As long as hope's alive. As long as hope's alive. And though life it seems an instant, We blink and find it's Passing by us We can try to live our time: As long as hope's alive.

Tell me how it's come to this? Tell me why I feel I missed? Tell me why I didn't stop it Try to stop it from the start? Tell me, with your voice so pure, Tell me why I feel so sure Tell me how the castles that we built have pushed us so apart... And you laugh It rings musical, and so kind And you show me all the doors that I kept tightly locked inside my mind And you laugh Rings purity, and so bold And you show me all the walls that I had built so tall inside my soul... And you laugh, and you laugh And you smile, you beguile And you laugh, and you laugh While you're breaking my heart And you laugh, and you laugh And you smile like a child And you laugh, and you laugh While we're drifting apart Tell me why I dream my dreams? Tell me, is life as it seems? Tell me why I lay here on A concrete sea and shattered glass? Tell me, while you laugh and smile, Tell me how you've grown so wild. Tell me why the sky and why the earth and why we're in between.

Kneurety 04:25
(Greek) What you know Forget it Night brings peace. But where is it written that all our dreams must be small ones? (Greek) Sun, sky, white clouds They cut me deeply We divide. Bring loneliness Bring darkness The black night We belong together. What you know Forget it Night brings peace.

Purple lightbulb Bathe in glowing, incense burning Reaching out for who I am deep inside Crossleg sitting, meditating Feel a burn, now Searing memories of you and what could have been They all go down, one by one, I see my friends fall one by one And there's a clock It's ticking for us now It's ticking, without a sound. But my clock's invincible. Put in motion Millions marching without vision They go 'round their day-by-day occurrences I stand, blinking, drinking, thinking, Sinking quickly. I mingingly try to make some pleasant talk. I've looked back along this path and Seen you turn to smoke before my eyes are haunted, I'm undaunted. You know it's just my principle: That I'm so invincible. Daylight dawning City crawling Blink to bounce back I'll just smirk and roam along this concrete sea. As I walk, I see the clock tower every time I Turn to get a fleeting glance back at my home. They all go down, now I see, My friends they fall down, all but me. And all the clocks sit silent now but mine. Don't you know that my clock's fine? If I'm so invincible, yeah. Invincible? I'm so invincible.

about

2004 was a big year for me, and it culminated in the award-winning At Odds At Times. With a blend of mostly-club friendly tunes tracks alongside a handful of other styles, songs from At Odds At Times climbed the charts & won awards on a couple websites and received club and air play. Since taken down from digital stores, I'm making it available here on Bandcamp!
