Kamani oblique is a fantastic album. I found it relatively recently by complete chance, and I'm very glad I did. It is an amazing album, and every song on it is legitimately powerful. Absolutely worth listening to, just a wonderful album. Favorite track: juniper.

faces 03:22
are you seeing what im putting down? just letting it slip that this is real but i shouldnt need your consideration does it really take that much effort to feel? and ive told myself it doesnt even matter anymore even though i know damn well that its not easy "something has to happen for you to earn this title" well, as much as you'd like to think, its not up to me to break this cycle (start again with me) lend a face to someone else (new definition) a hope we'll never have to hide (reach normality) nothing's anything in particular (it's the little things) just sit back, relax, enjoy the ride (start again with me new definition reach normality)

out 04:38
a beating heart a body that wants to run from the start so much time wasted it takes all that you have to do your part i know i need to grow i need at least something to show for being, living in this world help me for i am not worthy are you compelled to fight and stay? or do you burn in a complex way? out of line out of life out of mind and out of sight moving ahead but turning back victims of their own attack its getting to me and i just want out of this for what its worth i guess i should be proud of this but how am i supposed to feel the sun if the cover of night has won? (and it kills me to say i wouldnt want it any other way at the end of the day its worth it to recharge and fade away) the last i heard the voice of reason seemed absurd so why is listening to it one of the easiest things to? i know its likely going to pass and its mostly my own fault and i should make a move eventually still i am here out of line out of life out of mind and out of sight moving ahead but turning back victims of their own attack its getting to me and i just want out of this for what its worth i guess i should be proud of this but how am i supposed to feel the sun if the cover of night has won? (and it kills me to say i wouldnt want it any other way at the end of the day its worth it to recharge and fade away)

mirage 04:01
give me the possibility to find what i know and never let it go i don't think i have a lot of time except for the fact that i do and its times like this i don't know when to trust myself and all the little hints of more i could know if i could calm down and tell myself to (hold on now) there's excitement in discomfort if you know where to look (distant clouds) everything is reminiscent of something that i took (a paradigm) two sides to every story; so read me like a book (open wide) and see if what i find could change my mind hear my thoughts the feelings they brought a kiss to find a moment in time come, connect i repay my debt to those, i fear who wanted me near, oh hold me to my word as i take flight (hold on now) (distant clouds) (a paradigm) (open wide)

fade 05:10
lights out; turn the corner leave the room; without sometimes a headspace is a means of how a disappearing act inside our crown hide now; not like you have a choice a mist spread around take it or leave it, own it such a fowl position to know but doesnt it stop the sounds? an automatic wall of distanced solitude and i can't help if its an inconvenience for you how do i take control if comfort drowns the vibrant hues? decisions made regardless if the sky did choose just watch as it all turns to grey seems like youve got nothing to say its the risk of living day to day so hold on tight to something if you dont want to fade away keep your feet from running hold down the will to stay fickle minds take the time to fly astray find the middle ground temptation its on its way such an easy path of ones delay so you better hold on tight to something if you don't want to fade away time out; (time out) you mean to tell me all the walls fell out? (oh) you don't seem to understand to make me doubt when your right up in my face and change my route (its the very least that you could do for me) right now, i can't be present and attend the drought who am i kidding it's a shame im laying under this shroud but i dont really care to shout stuck in a lifelong ride though time has payed its dues they say too much of anything is never good for you but i don't know if i need help or if its just a passing through i guess ill stay and wait and see how much is new just watch as it all turns to grey seems like youve got nothing to say its the risk of living day to day so hold on tight to something if you dont want to fade away

prose 03:30
this time for sure even though we already know how its gonna end lets do it the right way carve the future in the stars we've come so far i wouldn't be upset if you forgot about me now do me a favor light up the sky like the light that passes through you (keep me safe in the box of prose) its so fortunate to live a life that never ends come and save me, i am waiting to make a friend as the sun sets a brand new dream can rise again keep the heart you've nurtured and surprise me blue moon against a violet sky we're so far away from home hope for a happy ending, but you'll have to let me go right here i was never any good at manning the defenses but i think ive gotten better its against all odds that we can keep this up but i'll just have to try (crimson light out at sea find the sound and set me free) its so fortunate to live a life that never ends come and save me, i am waiting to make a friend as the sun sets a brand new dream can rise again keep the heart you've nurtured and surprise me (surprise me)

interval 04:10
(it's never going to be the same again, isn't it?)
7.
coarse 05:18
specks of crimson appear in a moment black protrusions an invasion of the self constant plague upon my skin this is how its meant to be time and time again why should this ritual help me breathe? 'cause when it comes time to take of the face its hurts so much more when you've had it on for days and the promises you had no choice but to make wear away over time; no one cares cause they're yours to hate and oh the lives we'd live given time if preambles could stall the acid rain and i know it's not just me, no, but is a loving life enough to justify the pain? i am my own worst enemy can't disconnect to set me free just learn to live with the feeling of disposition finding a second sea give a me a solid chance to flee its been a while since the leave acceptance isnt the key steam and sunlight accompany my fixture watch me burning through the eyes of the refined helpless to the undying cause when are we out of time? patience is the path steady thoughts try to ease my mind but the obsession still remains all the same grow your hair, change your name, saunter off and play the game its a detriment to everyone, they'll proclaim its not their fault that your so difficult to blame healing words that do as much as you'd expect. deny; do i deserve any better? rectify, for our lives grounded by this virile creed break me, kill me, anything to be anyone but me

sunken 05:06
its so, so cold and everything's so distant if i'd have been told it might've turned out different shadows loom and bury their way inside and construct something else can you even call it "alive"? my disposition seems to be to end it all over again but there's so much that's keeping me tethered to my eyes, my skin i need to scream i need to leave and shut the door what am i even fighting for anymore? its time to sleep will i wake soon? weep again into the night it's so fucking hard to fight disconnect and living lies give me up and let me die can't you see? i want to be free hold me down and rip out whats inside of me my body's so sore its too much to ignore i dont want to fight it anymore
9.
------ 03:53
if i told myself of specks of light within the dissonance that i made it here would you be proud of me? would i even care?
10.
harmonize 03:25
there lies a fragment of what it means to be someone who doesnt yet know what there is to comprehend where minds cant take it to understand that everybody hurts in ways impossible to recollect time heals all wounds especially the ones we gave ourselves that only show themselves when they have gone we may have reconciled our innocence but now its time to start the fight and tell ourselves the time has come, hey back then it was someone else embedded in the winds of time keep in mind that what you felt disregarded the signs will i be able to forgive while living on the other side reaching back through all the years consolidating whats inside maybe i just need to live and figure out the world beside what i already know i hear and have the best time of my life (embrace the distance through time; harmonize) (harmonize)
11.
juniper 06:24
does it feel like you've earned your place to say it feels like home? has it always been some sort of broken dream fighting for a mind to call your own? situations happen to arise that seem to reach for the unknown then you just have to say that you'll wait one more day to find the time to show the world that you have grown it may be hard to believe but what if your already there? this state of life is everchanging so look at what you have cause its so very rare at the point where the earth meets the sky does it stay the same for the rest of our lives? live and grow with me and we can freely roam and forge these memories that we can call our own is it time for me to go? im so much more grateful than you know. (and i told myself it doesnt even matter) and all the answers will be known all the wanderers will find a home
12.
continue 03:10
what does it mean when all you can think is how not to go on thinking? what will i say when i have to answer for my ways? when it comes time to look back and be afraid? make it so we live over and over it demands of us so come, my friends, its not the end just yet the days accommodate your everlasting grief so cry all that you can we're all so tired and i think that that might be the case for a very long time at least until the end of the world as i look up at the infinite sky i think ive realized my only truth: it might always be time to die
