A whirling dervish of activity inside my head made me spin. I took a chance and walked away. Never really looked at where I began. Wondered where I was going and what could I be now that I had finally arrived. Every step was in front of me. It's a miracle that I survived. And now I'm... CHORUS: Reborn from the ashes of my pain. (Oooh) The world will never be that way again. (Oooh) I don't know where I'll be next following the path I follow. I'm reborn and living all the same. (Oooh) Suffering and pain never passed me by. I was broken-hearted. Forever asking the question why. It was as if seas were parted. Realize that I'm worth all the toys. Now I'm feeling comforted. If I just ignore all of the noise, my world will become what I wanted. CHORUS (2x) Reborn (7x)

(Around and around and...) I feel magic in my skin. This feeling melts me from within. My blood rushes inside my veins. I know my life is soon to change. Dreams of falling, of being chased, means that I will be erased, replicated every seven years. I accept oblivion with no fear. CHORUS: This is not the end. This is only the beginning. Losing all I am, gaining everything. Taste the blood. Smell the pain. What's dead will be ressurected again. Floating through this eternal coil. What makes me true will never spoil. Metamorphosis will never stop. I sink into the warmth and start spinning around and around and around... God is in immortal peril as nature's storms run rampant. The Goddess wants let out of this well to give the sun its replacement. Releases painful sunlight and bathes my body in the blood, only for me to be reborn emanating from the mud. CHORUS

about

I've wanted to cover Gusgus's "Dominique" for a while now. It was a song that I heard at a pivotal point in my life where I had to decide if I was going to accept the status quo, or if I was going to take control over my life and start transition. The fact that the voice on the original recording was a male-bodied person singing in falsetto but was singing about being "the wrongest girl in the world" hit too close to home for me. I wanted to give my own interpretation of the song.

Most of the rest of the tracks are different versions of songs from my upcoming album, "Shattering The Silence"; my first full album in 12 or so years. It will release in July 2018.

I've also included a personal favorite instrumental of mine, "Theme For An Unmade Anime." The track would seem out of place on any of my other releases, so I've decided to put it here under a Creative Commons license with Attribution. I'm curious to see what interesting things that song can stir up in folks.
