Compass 03:01
lyrics
buy track
Have you ever seen The waves tearing at the seams Light of all our hearts Calling from worlds apart And one day I will sail through Through the great plains To get to you We will go far We will run wide Leaving all our misery Here in my imagination I'll Be running home to you Do you know the way The sun is sleeping soon Compass by my waist But all I need is you You know one day I will sail through Through the great plains To get to you We will go far We will run wide Leaving all our misery Here in my imagination I'll Be running home to you Homeward bound The sea my crowd Waves too high To hear me shout We will go far We will run wide Leaving all our misery Here in my imagination I'll Be running home to you

I will do this On my own but I'm still waiting on someone to save me I've got all my Clothes in my bag Oh I'm still so far But I still believe in Though my fingers ache I will keep on searching But will you take me home Now we always run run run But we don't get closer to where we need to be Still you'll see me running down With a song I wrote sung with both eyes closed 'till these embers burn or fade Now I'm waiting Change is coming But my thoughts will still be a penny short All my friends they're Getting older Never spoke my mind But I'll keep on weaving Through this empty maze Blinded by my own ambitions Please will you take me home Now we always run run run But we don't get closer to where we need to be Still you'll see me running down With a song I wrote sung with both eyes closed 'till these embers burn or fade Still I, still I x4 Need someone to take me home Now we always run run run But we don't get closer to where we need to be Still you'll see me running down With a song I wrote sung with both eyes closed 'till these embers burn or fade

Mama 04:02
lyrics

Mama, oh are ya Coming back today The doctor he told me That it would be okay And for what it's worth Should've told ya How I loved you even then When I was a kid And I took it all for granted And mama don't you cry like that, I know That life's unfair but we live it even so And I will, I will be there Singing Hallelujah Hold back the memories Of holding onto you We are all gathered The leaves are turning blue Now I'm standing tall Though I'm feeling small And I turn my face away And it takes me back To when I was a kid You were always there And mama don't you cry like that, I know That life's unfair but we live it even so And I will, I will be there Singing Hallelujah x4 Wish I never did that Wish I wasn't so bad Wish I never said that Oh I understand Wish I could've told you That everything you said was true But all I want to wish for Is for you to come home x3 Oh Mama I miss ya And mama don't you cry like that, I know That life's unfair but we live it even so And I will, I will be there Singing Hallelujah

Car Alarms 02:53
lyrics

These car alarms blare Sirens move through the city I can feel it in the air Burning fire, breathing heavy And oh ay oh We've been waiting for this moment for so long And I'll move on To another place that may just be the one I've seen it all before The light from closing doors Is it my path Is it my path Maybe I've been warned Or maybe I'm just torn I'll pull the rope now The tension slacks now These streets remain bare Through the crowd of the city Feeling all these empty stares 'Cause we don't share the same dream And oh ay oh We've been waiting for this moment for so long And I'll move on To another place that may just be the one I've seen it all before The light from closing doors Is it my path Is it my path Maybe I've been warned Or maybe I'm just torn I'll pull the rope now The tension slacks now Whoa whoa oh And all these lines In the middle of the road On a Friday night On the last bus to who knows I've seen it all before The light from closing doors Is it my path Is it my path Maybe I've been warned Or maybe I'm just torn I'll pull the rope now The tension slacks now I've seen it all before The light from closing doors Is it my path Is it my path

Smile 02:45
lyrics
buy track
We were always on the wrong track But never were we ever alone They would tell us to take chances That there would be some things better to not think through How did it ever come to this We're better off returning to The time When You were by my side And Summer filled our minds Wishing I could fall back to your smile People think we're being reckless But we didn't need them to tell us what to do I would hold her, keep her sheltered Tell her it's okay, that we will make it through What happened when did we lose touch Take my hand and I will take you to The time When You were by my side And Summer filled our minds Wishing I could fall back to your smile And though I know it all seems too much Can we forget the world for a while And leave behind these lies and broken promises 'Cause all I need is you So can we go back to The time When You were by my side And Summer filled our minds Wishing I could fall back to your smile

Stay Down 03:42
lyrics
buy track
How did things just pass so fast Where did the time go When we would laugh at every joke Now I'm standing here alone I'd try my best to let her know In any way I can Though she would treat me as if I was Never standing here at all Pretending I don't love you, but I do It pains my heart to see him holding you I'll stand alone I'll keep my compass pointed home And I'd see her smile And remind myself it wouldn't work And should I keep you in my thoughts But then I'll never get enough What can I do I'll never learn Maybe I'll just stay down Every day I'd miss her more Though I see her everyday I wonder when did I do wrong Can you tell me my mistake Pretending I don't love you, but I do I'd leave it all behind to get to you I'll stand alone I'll keep my compass pointed home And I'd see her smile And remind myself it wouldn't work And should I keep you in my thoughts But then I'll never get enough What can I do I'll never learn Maybe I'll just stay down What can I do I'll never learn Maybe I'll just stay down Maybe I'll just stay down

Freefall 04:18
lyrics

Oh little bird tell me why do your wings cry Did someone hurt you, left you lonely in the sky Now I see red begin to bleed in the night But don't falter It's the sun just starting to rise These dented hearts, oh they only pull us down So we'll build walls tall enough to keep love out Still we're all searching for a home to call our house In this city Flying endlessly So take me into the light Oh 'cause I miss the warmth of your love And I swear I'll make things right, oh My little bird Don't sprain your leg My love Just rest your weary head And we'll freefall And we'll freefall Oh little bird, take a breath when you feel drowned 'Cause no one told us what's it like up in the clouds Now we're all living like a king that's lost a crown Still searching, believing to believe So take me into the light Oh 'cause I miss the warmth of your love And I swear I'll make things right, oh My little bird Don't sprain your leg My love Just rest your weary head And we'll freefall And we'll freefall And after all's been said, we'll stay awake And after all the lights fade away My little bird Don't sprain your leg My love Just rest your weary head And we'll freefall And we'll freefall

about

It started with a song and soon enough, transformed into something I could only have imagined at the time. Dogfight is now out on SPOTIFY AND ALL OTHER STREAMING SITES on the interworld!

Recorded in my dorm room, I spent countless hours working on each song of this album fine-tuning the vision I had in store for this album. It's finally done!
If you have the time, please have a listen and if you liked it consider showing it to your friends or even if you don't, I appreciate that you listened or even took the time to read this! Thank you, YOU keep my dream going!

Please enjoy, let me know your favourite tracks, and as always, have a nice day!

-Lyle

ALSO, I wanna say a huge, HUGE thank you to the absolutely amazing and talented Ken Gao! He single handedly mixed AND mastered all of the tracks on this album. If it weren't for him, this album wouldn't even be a thing (Okay, it probably would've been, but it would not be at the super amazing level it is now).
Thank you again and KEEP a lookout for his upcoming album coming soon as well! (I'm really excited for this one!)
I want to also thank my awesome, hard-working friend Mark Tchourbanov, as well as all of his friends, for giving me the opportunity to professionally record my song at the OIART!
We recorded a demo of one of the songs in one night, and he turned that kind of messy thing into something truly magical. (I might release that version of the song soon too!)
Finally, I want to thank Minan Song, for using her techy, 0110 Photoshop skills to design the album cover for me! It turned out extremely well and I couldn't have asked anyone else to do this job for me!

Thank you all!
