Dystopia 04:46
The present stands on the top of its end Dystopian, we all try to fit in The pressure's on and I call out to you Will you catch my fall? City lights have us under control Metallic minds have polluted our souls We reach for you but our calls are ignored Will we see the end We bless these hands and they begin to fall In the words of our God we plead Please teach us how to Reap what we sow Concrete paths are what we use to sleep They've taken all we eat And I lie awake and Wonder why it must be this way? Stand up, the coils pierce the Attention, how foolish we the Creators, to give and give to Those who do not pay My hands, they bleed It'll only last a few more weeks Electronically resend And finally reach the end (eat, work, die) My body's a shell A former man trudging through hell Computing my worth Time is money but money isn't worth my time For twenty years, I've been running this show The stage is set, we're all ready to go Anxiety still besets in my mind Should I take it as a sign? Spotlight's on and I gaze at my peers Do I recite do I conquer my fears They need me now and I've let them all down Still I wear my crown The room is clear and they've returned back home Still their seeds will not grow They'll never be repaid For what they've sewn My kingdom's run by those who own the most Not the people they have chose Welcome to a world Of a dystopia Stand up, the coils pierce the Attention, how foolish we the Creators, to give and give to Those who do not pay My hands, they bleed It'll only last a few more weeks Electronically resend And finally reach the end (eat, work, die) My body's a shell A former man trudging through hell Computing my worth Time is money but money isn't worth my time Studies show that when a given norm is changed in the face of the Unchanging, the remaining contradictions will parallel the truth Equate rhyme with reason Sun with season Reject mediocrity My hands, they bleed It'll only last a few more weeks Electronically resend And finally reach the end (eat, work, die) My body's a shell A former man trudging through hell Computing my worth Time is money but money isn't worth my time

Myla Winter 03:23
The man on the moon keeps his strings in tune Waiting now right now for that day he'll play But the snow keeps him awake A sole impression that keeps him insane He stays awake, stays awake It's all coming back to him Stay awake, stay awake Because where can you go when there's no way to get there? What can you dream if you can't get no sleep? How do you know if there's nothing left to learn? These questions could keep your mind up at night He screams, "oh it's cold" All alone enveloped in snow He screams that he'll leave A statement he made years ago He screams, "oh it's cold" All alone enveloped in snow He screams that he'll leave A statement he made years ago Would you leave this life for the next one in mind? Could you synthesize thoughts of frozen lines? So keep that dollar bill in hand A tool that turns snow into sand Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake Because where can you go when there's no way to get there? What can you dream if you can't get no sleep? How do you know if there's nothing left to learn? These questions could keep your mind up And where do you go if there's no way to get there What can you dream if you can't get no sleep? How do you know if there's nothing left to learn? These questions could keep your mind up at night He screams, "oh it's cold" All alone enveloped in snow He screams that he'll leave A statement he made years ago He screams, "oh it's cold" All alone enveloped in snow He screams that he'll leave A statement he made years ago He screams

They called me a leader An example of the highly sought after epitome of manhood The prime buck of a patriarchy An advocate of recreational fertility I ALWAYS thought it demeaning but I accepted my place And I restored the confidence in confiding in my ability The ability to swoon The ability to lie The ability to meander the gifts bestowed upon myself And it goes around and around again for years Years of coping Years of trying to forget Escapism plagued and sustained the habit And even in the corse of the act, the half hearted arrangement clearly shaped my vision Not often was it the intention No At least that’s what I had to convince myself The conversations spun in circles and never did our hearts or minds progress Yet we ate that fruit, we materialized the juices and nectar from our garbage Too apathetic to truly resent myself Too apathetic to stand up for myself Too apathetic to finish this thought … A whirlwind graced my world She came down and demolished all established artifacts of previous culture and business Synchronized the division between hospitality and hostility I remember why I was hailed a king, why my Gods found me responsible for the abuse And oh the years of abuse I had looked in the eye that night It was discovered that the storm was but a drop of water And nothing had really changed at all Yet things still seemed to remain the same Except maybe this time I love myself She would often glance away as if she was wrong for looking a man in the eye It became so apparent to I, and seemingly only I, that she was truly the result of her past The man that was once mighty was shaken at the mere sight he beheld He adored that feeling He adored her speaking Echoes of WHAT WENT WRONG stormed the conversation Somehow there was solace in that fact between the lines of both worlds Through an improper form of communication the beings painted a mural Detailing the memories of art, happiness, depression and joy The love and the loss And the conversation crystalized over time after the moment had taken its relief Hearts beated, Palms sweat And the very Earth the king stood on shook in retaliation to these developments I hated the king and loved the peasant, acted the fool How foolish of me for never realizing All three were one in the same And as I walked down M21 that very night to feel the summer breeze caress every pore in my body the king realized he had never been so enthralled How foolish of him to believe that he would never find his best friend But there she bellied There she stood There she was Breaking every rule that had been established over the years I confronted the breeze with all that enveloped me She was a melody that no musician had ever composed She was a dictionary that described all emotions that were once foreign to myself, the king and the fool A simple flick of the finger and I would have been hers forever Where this story goes is yet to be for tolled And after all had been said and done a million times before I looked in the mirror I saw what I’ve always been I was made for her I am the wiz kidr I am the wiz kid

Fall through the floor Where to find you When you say ecstasy And darling, looking in your eyes Reveals what you hide I'm alone in the palace of my dreams So why can't I sleep? This melody won't put me back to sleep What this CD does is take me back No, no, please don't let this be No, no, something for my solidary Hold on to your heart strings The seems are on the brink I dance gracefully Echoing through what we think Hold on to your heart strings The seems are on the brink I dance gracefully Echoing through what we think Your majesty will haunt this castle And your love will hunt the beast And the priests will hold their heads high As if they all know I told you so I told you so I told you so Well I told you so But it's not coming, coming, coming, coming, coming You can prove you're mine If you stay tonight Are you coming You can prove you're mine If you stay tonight Are you coming, coming, coming, coming, coming Oh are you coming, coming, coming, coming No, no, please don't let this be No, no, something for my solidary Hold on to your heart strings The seems are on the brink I dance gracefully Echoing through what we think

Void 05:07
The lights are off and the stage is set You're lighting up another cigarette Streetlights are off and your head's held down Do you hear voices float around? Oh, they're finding you out You know what they're talking about Oh, they're finding you out You know Under the table So call out to heaven Take off with a lighter in hand There's nowhere to run now You're fate's been sealed in the sand You call up to heaven There's no one to hear your call Look under the table and try to avoid Murderous thoughts that left you in the void Her brains are rotting The signs could follow your lead Anxiety Is rushing into your head They're digging a hole They're gonna get you You're leaving a note That won't save you Her hand was there but you don't care Here ends the fable under the table They're finding you out You know what they're talking about So call out to heaven Take off with a lighter in hand There's nowhere to run now You're fate's been sealed in the sand You call up to heaven There's no one to hear your call Look under the table and try to avoid Murderous thoughts that left you in the void Your heart is bursting They caught you with blood on your hands And in desperation You pull out your piece but now you're resting in it They're digging a hole They're coming for you You're leaving a note It won't save you Her hand was there but you don't care Here ends the fable under the table They're finding you out You know what they're talking about So call out to heaven Take off with a lighter in hand There's nowhere to run now You're fate's been sealed in the sand You call up to heaven There's no one to hear your call Look under the table and try to avoid Murderous thoughts that left you in the void

High 04:14
Breath, and place it in the light Ignite that sight, I'm on fire, my desires I'll hold it down and leave it when I am Dry, but I'm not dry I'll wipe away my eyes, before this feeling dies The world devolves into fuzz around me The colors and trees distort around my face I'll hold it back down, and rings of Saturn escape my mouth Where can I go from here? Where can I go from here? Where can I go from here? Where can I? Don't leave me dry, leave me dry Because I'm not dry, or am I high? Where can I go from here? Where can I go from here? Where can I go from here? Where can I? Round two, I'll fade away Fade right into every word you say I'm happy, I'm free I'm alive to be anything and everything Because life is beyond our comprehension I'd rather live without contention And finally you're on my mind And I don't mind but please just Breath, and place it in the light Ignite that sight, I'm on fire, my desires I'll hold it down and leave it when I am Dry, leave me dry Because I'm not dry, or am I high? Don't leave me dry, leave me dry Because I'm not dry, or am I high? Don't leave me dry, leave me dry Because I'm not dry, or am I high? Because I'm not dry, or am I high? High

Face the sun, the cosmic rays could pierce your skin Boiled on, you disintegrate and melt away Much like a mighty wave comes crashing through the gods Falling off a comet holding back your own destruction The winding road to nowhere is paved with a starlit belt In your space no one can hear you scream Right between the lines of your reality You'll wake up from a universe we've all seen And it's there you arrive and see it's all a dream Fight or take flight The maestro makes his cues Tell me what you are to do? Hide from the light You only want a taste of his lovable face Fight or take flight The maestro makes his cues Tell me what you are to do? Hide from the light You only want a taste of his lovable face Face the moon, a lunar fall from saving grace Frozen down, sailing out to be cast away This is what the sailor sees, who's stranded on his own Sailing by the islands where all he finds is solitude The winding road to nowhere is paved with a rocking boat Out at sea, no on can hear your calls And it's there you arrive and see it's all a dream You have seen things that will change your world And it's there you arise and see it's all a dream Fight or take flight The maestro makes his cues Tell me what you are to do? Hide from the light You only want a taste of his lovable face Fight or take flight The maestro makes his cues Tell me what you are to do? Hide from the light You only want a taste of his lovable face Fight or take flight The maestro makes his cues Tell me what you are to do? Hide from the light You only want a taste of his lovable face

November 03:41
No one will ever remember the fall of November The cold that day seemed to chill the ember The wind that night revived a thousand more fights It only took me four more years to see If you know what I mean? I had to go before we fell low The ember was the only thing in my soul Because the wind that day Seemed to blow you away Looking back is tough That's what they say Well I'm looking out the window just to see some direction I'm looking in the mirror, I can't stand the reflection Who are they to say if this is gonna be my day? Well I guess I don't know The morning right after seemed to be of a nightmare The schoolboy dares and the midnight affairs Nostalgic smells entered the halls we went down Looking back I realize what I regret And I want your consent I had to go before we fell low The ember was the only thing in my soul Because the wind that day Seemed to blow you away Looking back is tough That's what they say Well I'm looking out the window just to see some direction I'm looking in the mirror, I can't stand the reflection Who are they to say if this is gonna be my day? Well I guess I don't know I had to go before we fell low The ember was the only thing in my soul Because the wind that day Seemed to blow you away Looking back is tough That's what they say Well I'm looking out the window just to see some direction I'm looking in the mirror, I can't stand the reflection Who are they to say if this is gonna be my day? Who are they to know all the places I'd rather go? Who are they to say if this is gonna be my day? Well I'm not letting go

Step, and you’re looking at me Drop, do you like what you see Gasp, let me turn off my phone Vibe, and we’ll echo through the halls And I’ve been at the bottom of a well (Twitching like I’m in a straight jacket) For I am a sinner, so all is well (Waning and drowning in my own cell) If you want it you can have it Because I don’t respect myself And I don’t know what to day If you need it, you can drink it I know it won’t go away Unless I beg you to stay Don’t go away I can see that you’re in her now Looking for a sign that she could She could change your mind So you then approach that sensation That she doesn’t have what you want And so a lighter is handed to you Aligning your position to ask for more But the pain won’t go away And yet these thoughts are here to stay Time elapses and you conquer your fears There she stands with her arms out for you She takes you back to bed You take the bullshit that you’re fed If you want it you can have it Because I don’t respect myself And I don’t know what to day If you need it, you can drink it I know it won’t go away Unless I beg you to stay Don’t go away You wake up in a nervous state Trying to confirm that you can’t take back What you’ve done And then a lighter is bestowed upon you Inhale and project, what more could you do? An inebriated sense It defines your confidence If you want it you can have it Because I don’t respect myself And I don’t know what to day If you need it, you can drink it I know it won’t go away Unless I beg you to stay Don’t go away If you want it you can have it Because I don’t respect myself And I don’t know what to day If you need it, you can drink it I know it won’t go away It won’t go away It won’t go away

Waterfalls 06:43
The room breaks down, it's over now without a sound I'm driven home, shut the door throw out my phone We talked for years, hold my hand confront my fears What was I to do the day I left your room Yeah I'll go, oh I will go home without you Fall down, oh I will fall down into the sea Back in my school, classrooms stalled and I the fool I'm merely a man without a conscious plan It nearly killed me the night before you held me It's so surreal not knowing the way I feel Yeah Go home, oh I will go home without you Fall down, oh I will fall down into the sea Go home, oh I will go home without you Fall down, oh I will fall down into the sea I have gone too far from who we are Yet I can't quite explain why I feel the same You're in my dreams, the walls began to fall But those lines tied a noose from what I am not cut loose The trumpets playing, the sky had begun raining Your body silenced in the ground losing its violence I screamed and cried, asked only myself why I'll never forget you, I'll live a life unreal to you Go home, oh I will go home, going home Fall down, oh I will fall down into the sea Go home, oh I will go home, going home Fall down, oh I will fall down into the sea Sinking down, are you sinking now? Sinking down, are you sinking now? Sinking down, are you sinking now? Sinking down, are you sinking now?

about

"Photography" is the fourth album from Great Lakes Feather Company. Recording began in February 2014 and continued all the way until April of 2015. "Photography" was recorded in various locations in Owosso, MI with every song possessing its own structure and goal. Stylistically this album departs heavily from established GLFC sounds and focuses on variety. "Photography" is also the first GLFC effort that lacks a large amount of guests on the record. It's been a long and interesting process making this album and I believe there is a little of something for everyone on this record. Please enjoy, "Photography".
