Casting No Shadows 04:34
lyrics
buy track
You didn’t stand a chance Neither did I You didn’t join the dance Neither did I We kept our distance Warmed by the dissonance We kept our distance From the irrelevance We carved our own path We made our own way We didn’t stand a chance With all that stood in our in our way We made a memory A record of resonance We thought we caught a glimpse Because we were different Little did we know You didn’t stand a chance Neither did I You didn’t join the dance Neither did I You didn’t cast a shadow You didn’t cast a shadow You didn’t cast a shadow You didn’t cast a shadow You didn’t cast a shadow -- Words and music copyright 2020 Andrew Lawrence Jackson

Easy To Forget 04:57
lyrics
buy track
It’s easy to forget who you are It’s harder to admit when you’ve gone too far It’s easy to take a joke It’s hard to understand how dreams turn to smoke Part of you knew It might come to this But none of us knew How deep the abyss Maybe you suspected It might come to this But none of us knew How deep the abyss It’s easy to forget what you know It’s hard to implement a new rule to follow Look back with new eyes Cut yourself slack You might be surprised Sideline a project No one will suspect Change up your logic Press stop then eject Shy away from priorities Clear your calendar Gather up your loose ends Steep your thoughts in lavender Take it away… It’s easy to forget who you are It’s harder to admit when you’ve gone too far It’s easy to forget who you are It’s harder to admit when you’ve gone too far It’s easy to forget It’s harder to admit It’s easy to forget It’s harder to admit It’s easy to forget It’s harder to admit -- Words and music copyright 2020 Andrew Lawrence Jackson

I Try Not To Think About It 03:38
lyrics
buy track
I try not to think about it I try not to think about it I try not to think about it I try not to think about it How do you feel right now? How can you deal right now? It’s getting real right now Like what’s the deal right now? I try not to think about it If I do I start to doubt it Am I fake? I’m all about it And I try not to think about it I came bearing a message That I forgot before I got here The wisdom of the ages That I forgot before I got here And I try not to think about it If I do I start to doubt it Dada? I’m all about it But I try not to think about it The monster’s out of the bag Don’t feel like waving no flag Uncertainty is a drag The monster’s out of the bag Out of the bag 
And I try not to think about it I try not to think about it I try not to think about it And I try not to think about it How do you feel right now? How do you feel right now? -- Words and music copyright 2020 Andrew Lawrence Jackson

Do you remember 2005 And what it felt like Just being alive Do you remember 2005 One day at a time Just trying to survive When you’re alone Inside your mind Listening to the air around you Remember when You found yourself Taking stock of the world around you Do you remember 2005 No change of heart No money left behind Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Seeking the truth Not knowing what you will find When you’re alone Inside your mind Listening to the air around you The crowded room That is your mind Lingers in the air around you Do you remember 2005 And what it felt like Just being alive Do you remember 2005 One day at a time Just trying to survive When you’re alone Inside your mind Listening to the air around you The crowded room That is your mind Lingers in the air around you Do you remember 2005 Do you remember 2005 -- Words and music copyright 2020 Andrew Lawrence Jackson

Things I like No one knows Can’t remember So it goes How many times Do we have to live Thru the eighties Thru the eighties I know this is your first time I hope this is your last time But how do you think it feels For me For me Falling into the darkness Need to change but how I reach for transcendence And I find it somehow Radiance in my fingers Super powers hide Take a chance on something Hiding deep inside — deep inside Things I like No one knows Can’t remember So it goes How many times Do we have to live Thru the eighties I know this is your first time I hope this is your last time But how do you think it feels For me For me Falling into the darkness Need to change but how I reach for transcendence And I find it somehow Radiance in my fingers Super powers hide Take a chance on something Hiding deep inside — deep inside So much radiance — AAAAHHHH So much radiance — AAAAHHHH So much radiance — AAAAHHHH So much radiance — AAAAHHHH I know this is your first time I hope this is your last time But how do you think it feels For me -- Words and music copyright 2020 Andrew Lawrence Jackson

OK Now I Get It 04:24
lyrics

Okay now I get it Okay now I get it I am the shadow I am the living ghost Of someone forgotten long ago Okay now I see it Okay now I see I am a shadow I am a living ghost And I thought it was the other Way around I can’t understand it What were we thinking? How could we command it? What was I thinking? A memory is half as good As a paper chalice Separate the men from the boys And the boys from each other Okay now I get it Okay now I get it I am the shadow I am the living ghost Of someone forgotten long ago Okay now I get it Okay now I get it -- Words and music copyright 2020 Andrew Lawrence Jackson

Win-Win 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Most of my wins Never get celebrated I’ll always work To make it better Funny how hard we try Only to settle For something that comes along At just the right moment Most situations Are out of our control You know what it feels like To always be yearning Settle for less And you may never live it down But the fire inside you Will always be burning We both like to kill time In different ways You go for the kill I admit I’m a goner It don’t matter much To anyone else In our own little world This could go until... This could go until sunup One of us Is a specialist The other is A jack of all trades I never really Considered it But maybe it’s Better this way Absolute immersion We figured out the details Only to step back and see They’d all gone away I don’t criticize you For feelin’ the way you do I know it’s a win-win If we can make it through You opened a portal in me When you said you believed me Of everyone here You’re the one who can see me You opened a portal in me When you said you believed me Of everyone here You’re the one who… You’re the one who can see me Yesterday would have been better Tomorrow’s already too late If you follow my note to the letter You’ll know when and where you should wait Yesterday would have been better Tomorrow’s already too late If you follow my note to the letter You’ll know where and when you should wait -- Words and music copyright 2020 Andrew Lawrence Jackson

What does the future look like What does the future sound like What does the future look like What if it turns out to be true
 No one really wants to be right When they know it will hurt No one really wants to be right When they know it will hurt Where do you park your space ship Where you beam your thought projections Where do you keep your good sense When the world’s in chaos Reality is another dimension Reality is another dimension You are who you are But you are in another dimension What does the future look like What does the future sound like Where do you park your space ship Where you beam your thought projections Where do you keep your good sense When the world’s in chaos Where you beam your thought projections -- Words and music copyright 2020 Andrew Lawrence Jackson
