i have
walked from here to never
dark and untogether
broken at the edges
i have been uncertain
anything was working
desolate and hurting
lost without trace
faster
deeper than an ocean
now we are awoken
now the spell is broken
bittersweet and brighter
softer than a daydream
i believe you hear me
i know you're in there
you've been
slowly sunken under
nothing left but color
blurring at the edges
you've been plagued by voices
overcome by noises
drowning in the poison
of the same mistake
wilder
fiercer than a nightmare
piercing through the dark air
speeding into nowhere
bittersweet and brighter
softer than a daydream
i believe you hear me
i know you're in there
hold me
tell me you believe me
promise that it won't be
delusive and empty
bittersweet and brighter
softer than a daydream
i believe you hear me
i can see you there

I've let this sit in my collection only fleetingly heard. Today I put it on and it blew me away. Great music, intriguing lyrics. I must give it more attention. Don Mitchell
David Baron recorded the beautiful, moving “Cycles” in New York’s famed Beethoven Hall, the perfect setting for his rich compositions. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 21, 2017
I think this album's the best one yet.
EDIT: Uh-oh... looks like Come Black Magic has pulled ahead by a tentacle! Still love this one though. EDIT: Hell with it, if anyone can have three 'best' albums, it's Walt & the Toys. Gearald Becker
