Escaping the Library of Blank Slates
Listen to Escaping The Library of Blank Slates the album
let us run as we escape the library of blank slatesThe Id and The Ego
From Train Wreck Cinema
and here i sit, cross legged on the floor
staring at the dichotomy of my mind
the reflection takes over my view
ran as fast as I could into it
it’s a nuclear option,
but the release would feel so light
The Writer
From A New Plane
‘cause they didn’t know she hid quills beneath her sheets
hidden so deeply, they didn’t puncture her dreams
The Keep
From Emerald Skies
the rains of melancholy have withered out
i’m welcomed now into this newly paved route
took all my stories and wrote them all down
when they were done, i did not drown
Echo Chamber
From Memoirs in Glass Jars
delusional fools in echo chambers
the artist’s mind kept away from strangers
hermits by choice, an excellent delight
witnessing the world around them is where they go to dine

Escaping The Library of Blank Slates - Volume I
I’ve put on a façade now for too long. I don’t even know who I am or what I’m striving to do. I walk into rooms where I don’t belong. I cry alongside butterflies. My mind is a dichotomy. I scream on the inside and when I return home. I am a train wreck, but I’ll put on a show. Welcome to my cinema. My lilacs have wilted, as their petals fall to the ground. I channel the frustration and aimlessness into the piano every night. I’ve lost myself. And in this, I don’t know how to help others, I’ve lost it. I failed to help someone I love. She’s gone now. I only have one life to live. I need to remember that she’d want me to live. I need to move on to a new plane of perception. In retrospect, this is the story of a first phase of a metamorphosis that took over every fiber of this being, Train Wreck Cinema.

It hurts, the searing pain in my heart. I’ll be the writer and create the story to where I want to be, not where I am. I’m in an alternate dimension on accident and there’s no way to escape to get back. I write to the wind and she howls back. I scream to the constellations to show me some type of story that makes sense. But they don’t. I need to create the stories in the constellations so that the universe can catch me when I fall. I stare up in wonder. I’ve forced my way into this new plane of perception, but it’s not matured yet. Another life’s fire just went out before my eyes. She would also want me to live. Live, damn it. I need to move on into emerald skies, where everything flourishes, and there are no goodbyes. This is the story of a second phase of a metamorphosis that took over every fiber of my being, A New Plane.

Memoirs in Glass Jars
When you sit in between life's chapters, rhythms distort.
But you can still fill your slates, as you build your own fort.
And though the flames that burned from yesterday dried the purpose held on your trees,
time still carries on, through your heart and through the breeze.
Through it all, sprouts from your new chapter start to grow.
It suddenly makes sense to you where you need to go.

Escaping The Library of Blank Slates Epilogue
Why does it feel like the clock has stopped ticking? I survived the train wreck, I lifted into a new plane, and into emerald skies. I had been in a steady state. And now I am sinking again. I am stuck in between the seconds of my pocket watch. But the minute and hour hands will rotate again. The time will pass. That’s when I’ll feel whole again.
This is an epilogue to the collection of poetry and prose from Escaping the Library of Blank Slates.

Escaping The Library of Blank Slates - Volume III
Did I make it out? Are the stories done being written? Did I float up into these new emerald skies, where my eyes are shielded and I can float up high? The pen saved my life. I almost didn’t get by. Each carved slate presented itself as a jewel. Ones that I could string into my own necklace of time. The smiles. The hope. The loss. The everlasting winds. Walls of my keep surround me, keep me safe. The dissonance settles. The melodic echoes make their way in. I look to the sky and hold hands with whom I have lost. This is the story of a third phase of a metamorphosis that took over ever fiber of my being, Emerald Skies.
