ATO's Page

I'm a songwriter. Greatest hope is a demo about how you are sometimes wiser in youth than in age. Life is ironic in a very poetic way. I would love for a band or solo artist to re-interpret this energy and record it.

At fifteen I knew I had the answers
No one could tell me anything- here I come
Whirlwind under my wings
from up high yeah, I see all things
I'll fly
Here I come

Dance with me, dance to the melody
Why do we save all the flowers for the eulogy?
Cuz we're missing home
Wrote a letter in my palm

Love breathes a thousand breaths
Taking off in between our steps
It will run
So here I come

Got a dream in my eye
Crystal walls on all sides
It will come-- all kingdoms come

And in the end when the lights go out
They'll tell us what the science is all about, really
Chorus repeat

Straw turns into gold and then it's seven fold
Now I know what I'm living for
Through open doors
I see it

Clear as I'm standing here-- I see it
Clear as I'm standing here-- I see it

Ppl take a breath and just breathe
Don't let off anymore of energy
They're playing with the energy

Dance, dance, dance to the melody

Freud's Night Sea Journey. Don't let the darkness get you down

You tied an anchor over your chest
And now it's pulling you down
Forgot about all your promise
It's nowhere to be found

You've got a lot of nerve
Looking out only for yourself
Let a friend help it's now or never--
No, I'm not ready to watch you go
Some ties should never be severed

Under the water
refracted light makes it seem alright
but that's not heaven--
you're going down with the wreckage

(Find yourself--go find yourself)
(Find yourself--go find yourself)

Found yourself with a Seaman's troubles
Living your life atop floating bubbles
How long will it last?
The questions we all ask in the middle of--
in the middle of

You've got a lot of nerve
Looking out only for yourself
Let a friend help it's now or never--
No, I'm not ready to watch you go
Some ties should never be severed

Under the water refracted light
makes it seem alright
but that's not heaven--
you're going down with the wreckage

I know you're not feeling that well right now, but don't you let yourself down
I know you're not feeling that well right now, but don't let yourself down easy

You've got a lot of nerve
Looking out only for yourself
Let a friend help it's now or never--
No, I'm not ready to watch you go
Some ties should never be severed

Under the water refracted light
makes it seem alright
but that's not heaven--
you're going down with the wreckage
