Ay oh! Ay oh, yeah! Ay oh! Ay oh yeah! Possibly I know the way the future goes In the gulf of you and me Gnarled and thistled, Vines spread out Let me wait and see Let the game choose me. Possibly I know the way the story goes Possibly I know, I know, I know Possibly I know, I know. Ay oh! Ay oh, yeah! Ay oh! Ay oh, yeah! Come mek wi walk and talk I don't even want to embark your ship to sail Imma just ease away Let you do your thing Just let me do this part, Risk is risk but I will be smart My gambling ways Imma just leave the thang Get back to mine. I know I seem like some overzealous heart I know it's really hard I know in seeking joy in people's hearts That's not my favourite part I know I seem like some overzealous heart I know it's really hard I know in seeking joy in people's hearts That's not my favourite part. Put it on the right side Right side, right side... Possibly I know. Let's sit side by side I don't feel the sting of your bite so much these days I can do crazy things Just to feel the view. The view. The view. The view. 'Cause possibly I know the way the future goes And possibly I know, I know. I can't possibly... (The view, the view, the view)

Cloak 01:55
On that cutting edge No one knows what's coming And I shift to end These foreboding omens Of my heart In retrograde Who's to say? Who's to say... My cloak is lost? I shiver The dark to bed I might shiver The blues rose-red. Doo-doo-doo... Doo-doo-doo...

Counterfeit 01:56
Taken by the pressure no, And the boiling through My curled fingers and my curled toes I am see-through Satellite view I'm your purview. When I'm feeling that way I don't wanna play no-no, I don't wanna play no games. No, no way. When the rhythm carries me I track the bass. I rest my case. It's not too late No, ahhhh. My sentiments, My contents All disturbed by your klaxon. In slow-motion I reach oblivion. Can I get some candlelight here? Don't tell me bout the sun when candlelight shines so bright. Can I get some candlelight here? Can't deal with this commotion All I need is you to put it down. Can I get some candlelight here? Come on baby, light 'em all, light 'em all. Can I get some candlelight here?

Battles 02:59
I cramped a muscle when you said hey. I lost my wind when you took my breath away. I didn't lose no sleep. It didn't conquer me. I found a wall that I pushed away. I've seen that wall for 3000 days. I let it conquer me But battles all repeat. I control nothing else, Can only prepare myself. Long live the boy, long live the girl. Ain't that much Ain't that sweet Ain't so special It can't repeat. Ain't that nice Ain't that great You come along And you complicate.... Now I... I didn't lose no sleep (No sleep, no sleep) It didn't conquer me (But I'm starting to see how it could) Didn't let it conquer me But battles all repeat.

What you would have done, Who would have thought you turned into someone Living with a ransom We could talk We could talk We could talk We could talk...

Scribbles 03:36
When all of the pens are down And the ink has set to dry Eyes shut I can't open my eyes Cause what's down on this page Might make me feel all kinds of rage Now come on really Really, really Blow out My fire Got something (A hold on me) Roll out I'm tired Got something (A hold on me) Blow out My fire Got something (A hold on me) Roll out I'm tired now Got something (A hold on me) Well I've got this papercut And it can never run dry Fix up Matter over mind But pulse it can't make pace And I've been feeling All kinds ways Now don't deceive me Really, really Blow out My fire Got something (A hold on me) Roll out I'm tired Got something (A hold on me) Blow out My fire Got something (A hold on me) Roll out I'm tired now Got something (A hold on me) (A hold on me) I'm tired (A hold on me) I'm tired now (A hold on me) I'm tired (A hold on me) I'm tired now Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, oh But to what end? But to what end, It isn't good enough

Rouge 04:00
Covered in rouge I am covered in rouge yeah Now me I'm a fragile soul Encased in some precious stone Don't make me hiss my teeth Cause when you walk you sleep I'm building with what I've got. I wished to run the streets I know, You're telling me what I know I rub The genie in my mirror I wished that I could eat I know You're telling me what I know Know. Telling me what I know Oh And now I lose the trace This colour's not my shade of love And now I choose the case This colour's not my shade of love My winters are muted tones My summers require control Spring gets my spirit fed My rousing flower bed Yet There always comes a fall After all I wished I had the key I know You're telling me what I know I rub the genie in my mirror But all I did was sleep I know You're telling me what I know Know Telling me what I know Oh And now I lose the trace This colour's not my shade of love And now I choose the case This colour's not my shade of love

Wavelength 01:44
Couldn't make it stop Breaking for the drop Now, now I see I see (Ahhh) Oooh and all the waves I know It isn't made for me But I'm sure in this see I see my train Headed North-way Turn me up Cause I'm blasting on Mindradio Call my bluff Cause I'm blasting on Mindradio Oh now I, I, I, Believe. Oh now let me tell you now I, I'm In This thing.

Winter Grind 03:35
My love it is cold But it's beckoning Your love could warm it up And if that is all That you gave to me My love is better in the cold Oh the liquor and the summer heat Sweet Didn't wanna say goodbye I know I nearly lost my mind And I know I should be cold inside. But you're running, running, running, running games But you know I can't, I can't, I can't complain I said you're running, running, running, running games Oh but you know I can't, I can't, I can't complain I'm gonna go with ya My love it is fear That kept you near And kept you out of reach All that I would hear Was the risk of tears That kept you deaf to my beseeching And I never would have made you leave, leave Didn't wanna say goodbye It's fine And I know I nearly lost my mind And I know that it's the winter grind But you're running, running, running, running games But you know I can't, I can't, I can't complain I said you're running, running, running, running games Oh but you know I can't, I can't, I can't complain I'm gonna go with ya

about

Seeker Evolving Album diatribe

This is my first official evolving album. I've been doing this for years in a way but now I have decided that my way is ok. I always see room for improvement. And for the first time in the history of recorded music, artists can recreate the act of live music digitally. Music that breathes and changes because it is a file and it can be replaced. It's not a physical record.

So feel free to download. But also, visit in a year and check if anything has changed. Maybe it will all be the same, maybe they'll be remastered, maybe entirely rearranged. This has set at ease the need for deadlines, for perfection, for the good grade.

Fuck good grades. Kindly. Fuck perfection. Fuck that perfect take. Fuck measuring self against self. How about starting where we are, loving where we are, and moving forward with good intent.

This is what I've needed to do. Because the longer I hold out for perfect, the longer I remain unsatisfied with anything less than that. So in all that time working toward perfection - which I do not mind happening eventually - I still want to share the things I like as they are and IF there comes a time when I can actually complete it, then fabulous. And if not, I still brewed up something and if it does something for me, maybe it can do something for someone else.

Here's to the age of the Cyberpunk. And casually, quaintly, gently... not giving a solitary fuck.

There are events in history when the latent energy of the zeitgeist gravitates toward a fulcrum idea. And all it takes, often, is a decision of which fulcrum to choose. The idea I want to share at every opportunity, the idea I want to galvanize around, is the movement lately where people of all backgrounds and identities decide to no longer care about stifling themselves for other people's comfort. We say, in order for me to have space, someone needs to make space. So I don't care. Here I am, occupying space.

I love the space. We can do something beautiful when we have the space.

Lots of love.
Aleya
