Track 05:05
I wonder how it all begins to glow from within for the outside world. I wonder how with all that sin one grows from within towards the outside world. . Now you know I'll reach there. - reach there And you know I'll stay. - then stay Now I see we'll be carried on. - carry on Now I feel you'll reach there. - reach there And I know you'll stay. - then stay Now you know we'll be carried along. - carry on . I wonder how it all begins to unfold from within for the outside world. I see it now we fall from pride and burn deep inside in an endless world. . Now you know I'll reach there [...] . Stones in my shoes, I will surely bruise while I walk this path. But nameless girls promise love, still got pockets full. I am barefoot in my head, I am on a track to stranger places. . Now you know I'll reach there [...] . Now we know we'll reach there. And we know we'll stay. And we know we'll be carried along.

Tail 06:03
Here I am, a puzzled man rejecting all the dues his days demand. Oh here I am. I'm just a poor sinner on a toxic road. . So then she falls again like a shadow on my mind. I think about her all the time. Her eyes seem cold and cruel, and her heart beats slow and slight. I wonder what is on her mind. . Then again, how could a man refuse all the highs that she might bring? Oh then again, I'm just a poor sinner on a toxic road. . You make me lose myself in your grace. You tail me in my thoughts and dreams. . In modern times advanced intensity shapes hearts' desires. You see me act under control. Your path runs deep, not far. Your choice will force the tide. I wonder what you have in mind. . Then again, how could a man refuse all the highs that you will bring? Oh then again, I'm just a poor sinner on your toxic road. . You make me lose myself in your grace. You tail me in my thoughts and dreams. You make me lose myself in your grace. You tail me in my thoughts and dreams. . I'm lost in your grace. What can a man do, but follow through? You make me loose myself in your grace. What can a man do, but follow through? What can a man do?

Shine 05:25
Well now look at you in that special hue come alive. We can make it there while we're locked in glare. We will shine. . See us walk through every door. We don't need this anymore. . So now look at us, we can make it last if we try. We can make it there while we're locked in glare. We will shine. . Get up, stand straight, stride long, look strong. Come on, get up and move on. Let's pretend to be sound. . You push it all away. Bring on another show. And strip it all away. Find out what really is inside. We dance, take our chances till the sun crashes down. And we shine till the moon dashes low. . See us walk through every door. We don't need this anymore. . We dance, take our chances till the sun crashes down. And we shine till the moon dashes low. We dance, take our chances till the sun crashes down. And we shine till the moon dashes low. . Take your chances till the sun crashes down. Take your chances till the sun crashes down. Take your chances till the sun crashes down. Take your chances till the sun crashes down.

Shore 02:23
molten ice rolls in shimmering - frozen memories sublimate - I am a part of a crystalline shore there is still time to change as I am separating myself from the background - new thoughts like clouds - drift bright across the horizon of my mind

Gasoline 04:52
Right in my heart I sense the start of something beautiful. From here to there requires tear. . Gasoline, take me for a spin. Concrete future Move the world. I smell you on my skin. Volatile joy . Faint city views, I gladly choose from spaces filled with dreams. From here to there the cheapest fare Right now or else I find myself in places of extremes. From here to there requires tear . Gasoline, take me for a spin. Concrete future Move the world. I smell you on my skin. Volatile joy . Orange hits the grey slowly, all the way. We feel the kindest air. Washed out greens, steel machines Purple fills the sky. Gently, say good bye. Unless we travel on, night will fall, slow us all. . Gasoline, Take me for a spin to a concrete future. Move my world. I smell you on my skin. Volatile joy

Asphalt cracked in the heat Faded yellow lines Breaking all designs Brittle aged constrains drifting idly along. Oh what could go wrong? I would really like to believe we are going somewhere bright. And I do really feel that we are going somewhere right. . O>C>B B+C+B O+C+O [bleached out] B>C>O . Liar, liar, world on fire. . I would really like to ascend to the stars tonight. And for once really feel that I am going somewhere bright. We like to make promises that we can't keep. But that's okay in a world on fire. . But that's okay in a world on fire.

Petals 05:27
Life seeds us all like meant to stay. Growing tall along the way Under a fading sun We let it go. No need to know Another loop still bright each time We love to dream, enjoy this stream under a fading sun. . Like petals in the wind, torn and turned we fall. Breathe deep in, we will never stall. How pretty we will be when we finally touch the sea. Look how pretty we will be as we float across the sea. . Worlds fade from view. We're waking now. Let's lie still, get back somehow. Under a shrouded sun We take it in and let it go. The air is calm, the light's so low. We love this gift, enjoy the drift under a dying sun. . Like petals in the wind, torn and turned we fall. Breathe deep in, we will never stall. How pretty we will be when we finally touch the sea. Look how pretty we will be as we float across the sea. . Like petals in the wind, torn and turned we fall. Breathe deep in, we will never stall. How pretty we will be when we finally touch the sea. Look how pretty we will be as we float across the sea.

Concrete 02:19
crickets chirp, sallow yellow night poor man walks car crosses, one moment poor man walks silhouette dissolved in distance and darkness all three alone, crickets chirp

End 06:29
Woke up feeling strange, just a dream, another day to waste Forgot who you were, but a dream, a distant image now . Where is everybody now? Seems like I'm the only one left. We had such fun, don't you agree? Why won't you meet me here and then... Let's go (let us go) Let's go (let us go) . Where is everybody now? We thought we'd figured them all out. But now we're left with some doubts. So come back and meet me here and then... . Let's go (let us go) Let's go (let us go) Let us go Let us go . Slide down soft and slow, a perfect show. Forgot who we are. In dreams mirrors never work. Seek out all that fun. A shallow sum. . Let's go (let us go) Let's go (let us go) Let us go Let us go Let's go (let us go) Around us the landscape's changing. Let's go (let us go) So why wait for a better time? Let us go Let us go Let's go (let us go) Around us people are changing. Let's go (let us go) So why wait for a better time? Let us go We might as well hit the road right now. . The landscape is changing. People are changing.

I'm a sailor in a broken world, dragged with the ebb as it's rolling back, exposing the crack. Hey come on, would you not enjoy it, too, to drop out? What a shame, such little dirty hearts... We could have made it oh so far. . With your dirty little heart you play your dirty little part. And just like the rest whom I detest you will fail on the largest scale. - I slow my pace and fall from grace. I made my case and choose in turn to drop out, too. drop out, too and fall... drop out, too and fall... drop out, too, just like them . Got my own dirty little heart Play my own dirty little part And just like the rest whom I detest I will fall and spoil it all.

Far 09:16
Oh so far away If just for one day No matter how hard you try, things slip by. . Abandon it now! We will walk together. A simple case that we need to give in for simple pleasure On two-inch tape we hear ourselves, as echos we fade. Below white noise, we recognize and will find new joys. . Oh so far away If just for one day No matter how hard you try, time slips by. Oh so far away If just for one day No matter how much you long, things are gone. . Come shut it down! Let us walk together. It's simply greed that we need to give in with simple pleasure. On fading film we watch ourselves, in clouds we vanish. Wallowing in dust, we recognize no fear, just lust. . Oh so far away If just for one day No matter how hard you try, things slip by. Oh so far away If just for one day Through time and space tread light. It's gonna be alright. . Oh so far away If just for one day No matter how hard you try, time slips by. Oh so far away If just for one day No matter how hard you try, things slip by.

about

Light Gazer is the first full length album by Outside Is Void. It features eleven songs flowing into one another for a seamless, one hour long listening trip. While the songs vary considerably in mood and style, they are tied together by their stories: the joy and strange and conflicting experiences in the passing of time, people, and things.

I worked many years on this album, tweaking every note, envelope, and timbre. I hope you enjoy it, Thomas.
