Candle 03:57
Here, but not here I am a shadow on the hills underneath Catch me if you care enough But I'm ready to fall asleep And if you would be so kind As to turn off all of the lights Then that would be alright With me tonight Prophecies fulfilling me The witches and gallows, and dark-laden dreams A candle burns forever and always And all is just as it seems
2.
Æther 04:12
So carefully I cast my incantations on you Blow out the candles, close the circle My whispers can only be heard when they're lost in the wind And I have tried to make every part of this right Come a little closer to me And I can teach you everything I know I can feel the heavens breathing I don't think that you know who I am Celestial feelings that I've given to you Relight the fire in your eyes And each and every day I know there are whispers in the wind And you have made every part of this feel right Come a little closer to me And you can teach me everything I know Can you feel the heavens breathing? I don't think that you know who I am

Olden 03:46
And the way the wind blows It takes me anywhere at all I call to the trees Atop the hills I wander Crystal moon, setting sun Sleepy dreams I'm under And the way the wind blows It takes me anywhere at all I hope to see you in the light When the shades of leaves fall
4.
Stargazers 04:08
Can I, watching as she's opening her eyes To the white? And I might fall asleep before I pressurize Out of my mind Catch the night I promise I'll be okay today Chase the dawn and wander away With the fire in the sky Catch the light I promise you'll be alright tonight Brace the dark and live for a life The kind that never dies Can I fall into the stars with open arms To ignite? And you know you can call me back down to Earth anytime If you try
5.
Mahogany 03:15
Woke up where I've been laying there Morning frost on mahogany stairs Sit by the landing and wait for you If it's the last thing I ever do Now, darling, how did we end up in this place? In the sunlight, you smile in your pillowcase And I don't care how this came to be Beneath the stars or between the sheets I'll fall asleep with you next to me I heard your feet coming down the stairs Your tired eyes and your tangled hair Sit by the window, don't be so far There's a place for you here between my arms
6.
Harvest 04:31
All the words escape me Darling, rest your head, come closer Whisper lonely things to me And take my broken hands When I let you in, I sheltered you Somewhere in my memories And I recall this never-ending Beginning of you and me Light another candle, darling And the shadows won't even dare Chase away this bitter cold So I can breathe again When you let me in, you showed me The scars of your design Let the waves of sleep overtake you I promise you'll be just fine Who's to say you and I Aren't ghosts on the other side? Leaving fate to the night And the moon of the harvest time
7.
October 04:59
There's something in waiting here for the sun To catch up and meet you Crossed between ghosts And a harvest moon Lay down your torches and crystalline thorns For a dusting of sage With heads resting on headstones We'll sleep it away The colors you're dreaming are under your skin And right from the heart Where trees are like pages In books of time Wash away emptiness inside your eyes A fall masquerade The light of our alchemy Keeping the dark away And harm it none, do what you will With all of these things that make me feel Sparks in the air rain down from the sky And fall on my scars With flames reaching up To tear at the night Something I saw in their eyes just made me believe In life before dawn We'll stay in this moment And wait for the time to pass on
8.
Eight 03:51
Eight, you illustrate imagination Of your creation, the enervation And you watch me from up in the atmosphere So far away from here, my dear Was it me that you're looking for? Your windy strings and a broken score Raindrops falling on the floor Your latest lore outside my door Tell me, who's it for? Eight, you indicate exasperation You're explication, the indignation And you watch me from up in the crystal clear The time has come again, I fear, my dear Was it me you were looking for? You left your things in the corridor Empty string falling on the floor Your latest lore outside my door Tell me, who's it for?
9.
Cellar 04:05
She's carving letters in the basement floor And the way the moonlight's dancing through the edges She pours herself a drink into a heart-shaped glass And brings me to life And I can taste it, bitter on her breath Her chemicals reset Drops falling on her dress Sip sweetly, darling, I'll see you in death In the darkness, cloaked in broken wings Silence chases trails of smoke beneath my message "Drink the poison, dear, and meet me in the afterlife. I swear to you that I'll be laying in your arms tonight."
10.
The Night 03:40
Counting the stars in his emerald eyes Spurring a black horse in its side Let it be spoken, let it be lucid Call me out when he reaches the sun You can catch him on the blink of a stare Where I won't remember the night Walk me down beyond the sight Let me drink in the colors White constellations on the rise Burning holes in the sable sky Let it be a light in his lonely eyes Just after the evening dies
11.
Ephemeral 05:57
Look to the winter's sun And all the clouds dissipate A frozen lake, a scrying device Wishes and wonders open up my weary eyes I can't let go, these ashes turn to stone I lower my defenses when I'm all alone Let me go, frozen and cold The whispers in the dark, ephemeral Over the snow and mountaintops Do I find you, wounded at the throat Red melts white, the hunter's prize But don't you leave on me I can't let go, these ashes turn to stone I lower my defenses when I'm all alone Let me go, frozen and cold The bleeding in your heart, ephemeral Tell me, would you carry the weight of the world? Or would you let it fall on me Bury me beneath the shallow dirt? I can't let go, these ashes turn to stone I lower my defenses when I'm all alone Let me go The pain and when it starts, ephemeral
12.
Astral 04:43
It takes me on my own Away from lonely eyes The winds are whispering Through a castle of whirling stars Here at the end of the road Just waiting to carry me home Into the arms of the world And into the great unknown A touch of blackened sky The starlight is shivering It fills an empty space An eternal deliverance When I lay my head to rest An astral diadem These arms across my chest This soul omnipotent
13.
Lavender 01:41
14.
Cantrip 05:35
Sometimes, she paints the lights in the sky Black magic captivates me, I'm alive Glistening eyes like crystal and ice Lips revelate the names of the night And all of the times they spent whispering mine Crescents catching the moon just right Her words washing over me Like waterfalls, and I believe In her blessèd subtleties A servant to her reprieve Oh, please carry me Synergy stokes the embers again Candles with stay my frostbitten end And I'm hoping That the tatters of my strength will mend She's weaving my broken ascent And I don't know where I'll begin Oh, please carry me Over waterfalls, and I believe In her blessèd subtleties A servant to her reprieve Oh, please carry me

about

Hills Of Olden was my first real music project, and this album contains every song I ever intended to write for it. I recorded it as lo-fi as I could without it sounding like complete trash because I wanted to preserve the "live" feeling of the songs. This music has helped me so much over the five years I wrote it, and I was beyond happy to finally finish everything up.
