Demolish, Rebuild 03:56
lyrics
dezhonest: "As indicated by the title, the vocal sample in this instrumental is saying 'Demolish, Rebuild'. The phrase is a realization of needed change--in either the surroundings or the mindset." [ Written by Desmond J. Briggs ]
2.
A World Anew 03:47
lyrics
dezhonest: "One thing this instrumental represents is the observation of a process. A change. A slow and mysterious (but graceful) change like a sunrise or a change of season. A shift that is beautiful but not quite understood... until observed." [ Written by Desmond J. Briggs ]
3.
Let's Just Pray 09:17
lyrics
Let's just pray we're not wasting time Let's just pray we're not on the line Let's just pray this'll be alright You'll be alright We'll be fine I pray [ Written by Desmond J. Briggs ]

Those Forever Things 03:29
lyrics
"Aite. Yea. Champ. dezhonest." Hey guess you never seen it coming It's not one of those forever things No no no no This won't last for long no so You just need to savor this Moment while you can It's not one of those forever things no This can't last for long no I tell em I tell em I tell em But did they listen to me? no I tell em I tell em I told em they they But they don't listen to me no I told em I tell em I tell em I told em But they don't listen to me no So they gonna see [ Written by Desmond J. Briggs ]
5.
No One Knows 04:09
lyrics
dezhonest: "This instrumental portrays a mental backtracking to restore an optimism that was lost." [ Written by Desmond J. Briggs ]
6.
Night Theme of the Recluse 05:00
lyrics
dezhonest: "This instrumental birthed one of the styles I've come to develop over time. It represents a deeply concentrated conscience--at the moment--unaware of the world around it; trailing into a mental vault never before opened." [ Written by Desmond J. Briggs ]
7.
Call of the Muse (Arise, Arouse) 06:03
lyrics
dezhonest: "This instrumental represents the excitement of trying something new. Something mysterious, something sensuous, something unforgettable, or even all three!" [ Written by Desmond J. Briggs ]
8.
Ghost Winds 05:25
lyrics
dezhonest: "This instrumental was mainly inspired by summer nights in rural areas when the moon was full and the breezes were slight. (My apologies for the rhyme, but that's what it means to me!) It is also inspired by cold, quiet nights after snow storms. Yes, I do a lot of observing when I'm outside. And the feelings I would get from walks on these nights could range from a peaceful admiration of a beautiful night to a restless and empty desire for company. I attempted to present that range of emotion in one instrumental." [ Written by Desmond J. Briggs ]
9.
Conception 05:55
lyrics
We were born On a lightning storm Oh we were born On a lightning storm dezhonest: "The intro portion of this instrumental embodies the first phases of a thunderstorm--clouds approaching, lightning flashes, rain, wind blowing. The rest of the instrumental represents the development of an idea. Taking something simple and exercising all the known possibilities of its form. Knowing that some things won't work the first time and mistakes will be made along the way. But also understanding that you'll know what you were looking for once you've formed (or found it). And that, many times, is the purpose of seclusion." [ Written by Desmond J. Briggs ]
10.
Let's Go Let's Go (Into Exile) 07:44
lyrics
dezhonest: "This instrumental was envisioned as a journey to a mountaintop. Like a real.. long.. hike. But for good reason. The change in instrumentation signifies new location. The drops and returns of the percussion represent the hiker's persistence (or hesitation) to go further." [ Written by Desmond J. Briggs ]
11.
Hear Me Out + Jericho + Living In Rome 09:03
lyrics
dezhonest: "As implied by the title, this recording is split into three sections: 'Hear Me Out', 'Jericho', and 'Living In Rome'. I recorded this two days after my apartment was broken into that October and just really needed a way of responding to it in a non-violent manner." [ Written by Desmond J. Briggs ]
