Somewhere most of you Witness the light of truth See the face of the sun Others have a price to pay To see that the journey ends In the light of the moon Prophets speak of doom Wanderers look for the truth As their eyes reflect the world Pilgrims leave their homes Knowing where they belong Don't we all want the same Will the shadow on the wall Keep dancing all alone Until the fire is out Will my eyes open again Adjust to see the cave That's mine to stay Cause I can't stand The dark
3.
In the light of the morning sun Waking soldiers trying not to forget There's a home that's worth fighting for God I hope there's still a home My mother's voice fading away Layer of dust on my bed My farewell fading away "I'll come home soon" Where are you now, run if you can You know I won't follow Hope I dont fade away too Far from you, far from home If tomorrow's without you, I'll bring loss Search the truth in the eyes of fallen foes If my heart is made or gold, will our paths cross Or in the line of duty I will fall My mother's voice fading away Layer of dust on my bed My farewell fading away "I'll come home soon" Where are you now, run if you can You know I won't follow Hope I dont fade away too Far from you, far from home Curse in my mouth leads to you Taste of blood I knew when I was young Warmth on my arms leads to you In the howling wind I hear your song

The world gets cold when you are gone The faith gets lost when you are gone The road’s too steep when you are gone The wound too deep when you are gone Who am I to stop you Who am I to let you go
6.
All this, it is lost truth (Without this I am lost and torn apart) Or else, is it lost cause (Listen, I’m the wrong cause) Within the God’s work I stand Among the grace of tides Is it that all hope must die For us to get by Withered and lost again Is it just another of false dreams I won’t be The one to fall down this time Together nowhere Alone elsewhere

Sing for me 02:31
Have I told you a story Of what has come to pass Blurry shapes of what might have been myself Have I told you that story I miss the lies, the greed Light of hope and the shadow of gun (Serenity is but a dream Sanity is but a dream) Making myself Saving myself Mending myself Waiting Now tell me a story And tell me how to live Not fade away like a ghost Oh tell me my story And tell me all the lies Oh sing for me, sing for me

Cold love 03:46
First a morning, shivers Am I awake Surrender, onwards Don’t let it fade I turn the corner Breathe in and fight Each waking hour Each day and night Withered, my serenity Withered by cold love Clench my mother’s Soft right hand Hold my brother Play round and round again I’ll forget My own words will kaleidoscope And my eyes They turn away Winter, come tonight This song will fade away Winter, come tonight No season’s here to stay
9.
Still 02:47
Stay alive, you said That will be enough Well it’s not enough for me It’s not enough to just take a fucking breath Take the road if you can The trail of love and pain From the mountains of joy To the hollows of shame Don’t wither Don’t blindfold the horse leading the way I’m still here Afraid of the walls rising ahead Under violent skies The rivers running red I want to be seen for once For once just to be heard Throw me to the wolves or dance with me Drag me to the streets and shout my name Curse me if you must to find peace again This burning world won’t let us stay the same And time is running out
10.
So you’re leaving, what is there to say You know I’m a heathen, of course I am afraid Memories fall down around where I stand Crushing palace walls keep me awake I curse and burn Every bit of me until there’s just regret I crawl and turn In the mud of all the stupid things I’ve said, oh Paradise Moving out of focus Tapes rewind Round and round in circles Bring me down Break the walls of my disgrace You know My god has fallen Wake me The storm has finally come ashore The promised land is burning
11.
Dreamfall 05:52
A nightfall Fading right and wrong The mind full Road as alone as they go Dreamless Curse and the lies of the day One thirst Fading light of the moon You were way too fucking young
12.
Come my friend I’ll tell you the stories of old Come, my old friend Give in to your dreams and your scars Stay with me by the fire And sing the songs of love, war or loss Stay with me for a while Don’t fear, I’m no one so I’ll always be there by your side Now and then This empty place is your home I’ll be here When you’re on the road on your own

about

Solitude has many faces. You can long for lost love. You can yearn for love you never had. You can be homesick, lonely in the biggest crowd and peaceful in the emptiest desolation.
Solitude can be your biggest foe and your kindest friend.

You may long for it from time to time.
You may walk with it hand in hand your whole life.
You may confront it in the darkest moments.

It’s always somewhere nearby.

“Together nowhere, alone elsewhere” is an attempt at familiarizing solitude. Looking at its many faces in different contexts, from romance, through pandemic self-isolation, to war front.

$2 from every purchase (single, digital & physical) go to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
