Ryan Davis Atmospheric and beautiful. One of my favorite albums for a walk through the bogs at dusk. Lost at Dusk is simply brilliant. Favorite track: Lost at Dusk.

By the Pond 05:12
gray and misty air i breathed it on my knees i dug my fingers in the ground planting them like trees i ran them through the moss, just like you ran yours through my knotted hair a heart ten miles across but you would not share the dirt cast memories aside as i brushed the dew i threw familiar skipping stones past my point of view they bounced off their reflections just like you gave into despair a heart ten miles across but you would not share hold me once again don't be afraid to try broken we may be but love's not one to lie a heart ten miles across

Lost at Dusk 06:06
i can see my the work my lungs are doing pouring out with mist silent barks and mosses, growths of hiding tell me all you know and i have yet to see the woods align i've let my limbs grow wild and i will pay with what means the most to me evenings, fresh and mild branches trace dark patterns in the soil that shadows follow willow wisps and silhouettes are mourning trees that i don't know (drink the air around you) (sacred fog surrounds you) night will soon be upon me, and i'm back where i began disembodied wanderers guide me by my hand will they lead me from this place? or will they never let their numb embrace? and i have yet to see the woods align i've let my limbs grow wild and i will pay with what means the most to me evenings, fresh and mild and i have yet to see the woods align the night has left me blind and i will pay with what means the most to me i'll leave it all behind

the river's lights are dim but i can still see you grinning your teeth are made of stone it's a fitting sight to see the glimmer in the field it's a haunt but a hopeful one at best lights are kissing floating by the edge tonight let me be one kill me by the water, bear me underwater lights are kissing floating by the edge tonight let me be one kill me by the water, take me underwater no, no, no it's not fair no, no, no it's not fair, it's not fair, oh!

let me be one let me be one it's not fair

no one cares what you do as long as you don't do it to them too which makes me realize no one will find my body and i think back to the trees the spirits brought me to my knees and so i've become the antagonist to my own story i drift over my pale glow like the stones i threw so long ago which now act as headstones to that which i once called home the welcome party is now here their haunted faces look so familiar i'm ready to guide the lost and lonely and those who roam please remember this nothing, oh nothing was your fault oh, my love i'll see you in your dreams i hope you break your gilded cage of emerald jealousy and ruby rage i don't care how beautiful it may seem and we are wiser than the kings love no one, love everything please remember this nothing, oh nothing was your fault oh, my love i'll see you in your dreams
