And while everyone seemed
To know every pathway
I felt that we were drifting
And somehow cut loose
In a boat barely floating
Before that day, it seems your eyes were shifted
And distant from this place
This seasoned air, that blows across this water
And fuels forbidding skies
Beneath the sky
On the horizon
Where a crescent moon looms
And the shadow calls
I am not sure
Of all that happened
But after this adventure
All things were shifted and hers
While everyone seemed to know
Every pathway and where to go
I felt we were drifting and somehow alone
In a boat barely floating out here
So many people know the right direction
While I am drifting here
Cut loose just floating
A ship of little use with miles of sea to go
Beneath the stars the drifting it continues
And nothing here is fine
Fine doesn’t matter
And out on the horizon, the shadow of the land
And time will see I shall dissolve
Till nothing of myself I’m claimed by her
With dark seas before us
With dark skies above us
And no-where to go

Slender lines
Sketched onto her face
In the gentlest hand
By time
Fate designs
She absorbs everyone
And holds on to the best of them
To Keep
She
She leaves
She leaves me
She leaves me here
Open arms
Stretched out toward everyone
Welcoming them all
Inside
Slender lines
Deepen slightly as the tides flow
And challenge her resolve
Each day
She leaves us here
She leaves us
She leaves
She

To find the right words
From within them all
To fulfil a need a need
Without illusion or distress
A darkened spirit
That requires release
A momentary rest
From this loathing
That denies the spirit peace
One eye on the spaces
Completion here alone
Calm waters come one day
To write a wry smile
To bring a little mirth
Words are misconception
Without their sound
A distant inside
That requires repair
A momentary rest
From the shifting blame
That denies the spirit peace
One eye on the spaces
Completion here alone
Calm waters come one day
And forever Fortune
Favours little worth
Live in secret
Manipulate their truth
Complacency and daring contradict
It’s all they ever seem to want to do.

Eye to I

Unperturbed by strangers faces
Met from first closed eyes
No wasted words, sharing silence
One minute at a time
Within endurance, here for the arts
And called by many names
Mouth to mouth, they breathe each other
Sharing simply time
Every face, different world
Every time, each its own
Some sit with nervous aspiration
To find some meaning as they meet
But in this moment, many hold a beauty
And find themselves to be, complete
Once within this precious minute, everything is fine
Then a cloud of bitter future, breaks the face that shines
One minute left of silence, I am present, we are here

Gravity

The face in pictures
The life pressed down
The sight of hoping
The drowning sound
A wordless gesture
Forgives this time
A mind accepting
A heart resigns
Held in this place by the gravity
He thinks about her
And pieces melt
Nothing to say
Nor to be built
As he the distant
So she the birth
As she the heavens
So he the earth
Held in this place by the gravity
Held in this place by the gravity of this
So small the changes
So big the shift
So unexpected
To be like this
Today he’s someone
He’s been before
Who wants for nothing
And yearns for more
Held in this place by the gravity
Held in this place by the gravity of this

The scarred and broken tree that he touches every day
Says stay within this moment and believe it is ok
The howling of the power line as wind moves across
Says all the world is better off with you lost
And time it seems, examines me and waits

I am not all I wish to be
The many truths I hide,
I acknowledge are a part me
As much as the flesh inside
Disillusion has created this, situation here
Excused by some as mere circumstance
A circumstance I fear
These frustrations hide in plain sight, these frustrations drive
In accepting that this change exists
The evidence I hide
I acknowledge is a part of this
Consuming dark inside
Expectation is to sit and wait
Accepting change today
I look to see if there’s a plan to view
That somebody made.
These frustrations hide in plain sight, these frustrations drive
This melancholy plays a symphony
To accompany regret
I did not intend to be the one
To give away my last secret
I took the time to look beyond today
When I saw a path was here
Now that path is full of lives decayed
And a future so unclear
These frustrations hide in plain sight, these frustrations drive

Fragility Of Angels

I bring fire to the table
And light into the room
And watch the dust catch updrafts
Until it settles
I draw shapes as it lays there
A canvas I can use
And hope the shape will help
To make it better
‘I believe we are the people, we ourselves will choose to be’
And yet I try to be the person you have chosen
A sweet delivery from another’s conversation
Again a thought occurs to me
A little bit distracted
I move towards my end
I take the chance presented
Of feet before the other
‘I believe we are the people, we ourselves will choose to be’
And yet I try to be the person you have chosen
A sweet delivery from another’s conversation
Again a thought occurs to me
I walk to the water’s edge, and look into the sky
And wait for him to rise
I walk to the water’s edge, and stare into the sun
And wait for him to come
I walk to the water’s edge, and stare into the sky
And wait for him to rise

25 Yard Screamer Carmarthen, UK
Formed in 2002 it was the release of 2007's Cassandra that really pushed 25 Yard Screamer in the light of the prog scene. Signing to WhiteKnight with whom they have released their last 5 albums, has pushed the band further into the 'Prog' world and led to tours with label mates 'Last Flight To Pluto' and appearances with KScope artists 'Godsticks'. ... more

Forsaken Innocence

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10.
