Who I Am
04:04
|

|
Surf breaks, shatters all the peaceful days
West coast is the same as Eastern states
Time zone, difference, doesn't convey change
Sunset, sunrise, I'm still in the same place
I've been backwards, tears roll up my face
I've been so real, and I've been overly fake
Keeping time with, all my timeless mistakes
That's made me who I am today
Plant my feet in the ground of reality now
Hold tight, recoil, all my choices are sound
Lead in, one love, who can lead me astray?
A good fight, one light, guiding all of my ways
I've been backwards, tears roll up my face
I've been so real, and I've been overly fake
Keeping time with, all my timeless mistakes
That's made me who I am today
Walking roads you've left before doesn't feel the same
Every time its something new and memories will change
Dreaming of what used to be, a different time and place
Focus on the road ahead, and let the past escape
The good fight, one light, guiding all of my ways
I've been backwards, tears roll up my face
I've been so real, and I've been overly fake
Keeping time with, all my timeless mistakes
That's made me who I am today
That's made me who I am today
That's made me who I am today

Lunar Days
04:44
|
|||
|
Taking the time, trying to find on my own
Looking for answers
Live in the day, but focus ahead on the goal
Maybe forgiveness, will bring me some time
Faith my foundation my home
I need no convincing
You can be saved, but I’m gonna pray on it all
I’m looking for answers; I’m trying to find what I can
I need you for your new universe
I was looking for the future here
This world is hopeless but I’m keeping hope
I need hours, I need lunar days
Want is not need, blood it runs as deep as it can
Seek out some answers,
See for yourself, love can be deep in your soul
Trying to shed the sin that rules this place
I need you for your new universe
I was looking for the future here
The world is hopeless but I’m keeping hope
I need hours, I need lunar days
Precious find, it’s a friend of mine
A feeling of what I need
Doubtful lines can’t inspire lives
Inspirations what we need
Breaking walls into little stones, ashes of our homes
Holding grace in our hands
I need you for your new universe
I was looking for the future here
This world is hopeless but I’m keeping hope
I need hours, I need lunar days

Preprogrammed
04:45
|
|||
|
Taking time for the untold story
Hoping time doesn’t hurt my cause
Cause I feel the fire alive, inside today
You can have what you want with focus
You can have what you want in pain
If the road you’re choosin’ is off track today
I’m still finding ways,
To make things feel the same
Nothing feels the same
Nothing feels as great
We try so hard but it’s all preprogrammed
It feels like these rungs are slippin’
The ladders falling and we can’t get off
I’ll jump if I have to, to find truth
We can’t leave anyone forsaken
But we can’t take them against their will
But we can die tryin’ to, and fighting through
I’m still finding ways,
To make you see the same
Nothing feels the same
Nothing feels as great
We try so hard but it’s all preprogrammed
I’m taking the time to find my way
Trying to find a piece of me
Martyr of men, many have been
I’m drawing the line and pulling you in
I'm drawing the line and pulling you in
I’m drawing the line and pulling you in.

Shadows
03:48
|

|
Shadows casting lines
Always prove me right
I look smaller than I feel
But changing all the time
A superficial face
Always findings ways
The sunlight that's created me
Can blind me in a daze
Its a good time for me
To draw the blinds
And entertain thoughts that
My shadows been undersized
I cannot be defined
My shadows been undersized
I'm changing all the time
I used to think I knew
The backwards kid inside me
The feel as I withdrew
I'm putting it behind me
Its a good time for me
To draw the blinds
And entertain thoughts that
My shadows been undersized
I cannot be defined
My shadows been undersized
I'm changing all the time
And its another one, I'm right back where I was
And it's another one, to keep me moving on
Its a good time for me
To draw the blinds
And entertain thoughts that
My shadows been undersized
I cannot be defined
My shadows been undersized
I'm changing all the time
Our shadows been undersized
We cannot be defined
Our shadows been undersized
We're changing all the time
Shadows casting lines
Always prove me right
I look smaller than I feel
But changing all the time

Satellite Skies
04:29
|
|||
|
Satellite skies, a beautiful shade of grey
Countless aspects, losing myself today
Set an example, set this burden still
Leave it untold if you can’t find the will
Time is mine to fill,
I find it in days
I’m so cautious of the calling,
Calling it real
Time bombs, time bombs kill the powers
Powers that raise volume
Keeping me from lowering, lowering it still
The sad songs will
The sad songs will
I need a reaction, lets this run its course
I’m getting absorbed in all my human wants
I need patience I need more control
With idle hands I feel I’m getting old
Time is mine to fill,
I find it in days
I’m so cautious of the calling,
Calling it real
Time bombs, time bombs kill the powers
Powers that raise volume
Keeping me from lowering, lowering it still
The sad songs will
The sad songs will

Count The Days
05:31
|
|||
|
Do you feel it in your heart and soul
Is there something pulling at your sleeve?
You feel it calling and you know its real
Cause I know why I'm here
And I know time will heal
And I know I can't feel......anything
Have you ever looked into your past?
Did you ever even count the days?
Take an inventory of your life
And I know I concede
And I know your guiding me
And I know I believe.......everything
Time is battering ram, feel it holding us in
Its illusional feel, look for something that's real
Got no leisure of time, only passions to find, for the rest of my life
Have you ever looked into your life?
Did you ever even count the days?
And I know I concede
And I know your guiding me
And I know that I believe.......everything.

Letter From God
05:08
|
|
||
|
Looking down on the severed world I made
Give you the chance to turn it around and start over with faith
The blanket of love is there, just reach and pull it up
The warmth that will shroud your fears and your doubts, is as far as a prayer
It’s your life, let it
It’s your life let it live
It’s your heart, let it
It’s your heart let it heal
I feel you reaching out
I hear you calling my name
The ones that walked away from you, were guided by me
The angels walk you home
I'm making you a place
I'm winning the war but wanting more, to be saved by my grace
It’s your life, let it
It’s your life let it live
It’s your heart, let it
It’s your heart let it heal
Hallelujah
I knew you before breath
I know the hairs on your head
I know the pain, your worth, and your name
You hear me calling you in
You hear me calling you in
You hear me calling you in
You hear me calling you in
It’s your life, let it
It’s your life let it live
It’s your heart, let it
It’s your heart let it heal
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Mend
05:08
|
|||
|
Sad days, it's a constant anyway
I'm fine, running one day at a time
Who knows, where the time in our life goes
Stand still, slow it down and let us heal
I don't want to wait, to find
That there are pieces in our lives
That we forgot to mend, inside
Because we always kept it in....we always kept it in.
See me, for the times when you can't breathe
Hold on, to the parts where you went wrong
Cause there is not a manual, for the turning back of time
But we can learn, from the wrong steps and wrong turns
I don't want to wait, to find
That there are pieces in our lives
That we forgot to mend, inside
Because we always kept it in....we always kept it in.
Holding love back
Can't remold your past
I don't want to wait, to find
That there are pieces in our lives
That we forgot to mend, inside
Because we always kept it in....we always kept it in.

Michael Faryna Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
I played throughout Pennsylvania and nearby states back in the early 2000's. I released Economy Of Motion in 2002 and enjoyed playing shows with regularity until 2005. I have and hopefully will continue to create and write new music. Creating is a gift from God and sharing them is like a time capsule of myself, sharing the season of life I am in, my thoughts, and my heart. -Mike ... more
