Old Radio Sound somewhere in the distant future fraying starts to show you’ve got ten years in the business and there’s talks of letting go 50 floors of hell on earth and no one seems to care that the elevator topped off and you’re headed up the stairs beacause you couldn’t realize whatever I can do there’s something in your eyes that’s not you it’s built up from your lies you hoped it wasn’t true a monster long denied grows in you it grows in you buses grown you make it home and dream about the view busy streets 5000 feet that’s separating you drunk on doubt you get knocked out start stirring in your sleep TV blares through your nightmares and brings you to your feet because you couldn’t realize whatever I can do there’s something in your eyes that’s not you that’s built up from your lies you hoped it wasn’t true a monster long denied grows in you it grows in you passing out the doctors gloat and say they’ll do their best while his metal pauses in the air cast shadows on your chest but he’ll take a look inside you just to see what makes you tick knowing very well yet too indulgent to predict because you couldn’t realize whatever I can do there’s something in your eyes that’s not you that’s built up from your lies you hoped it wasn’t true a monster long denied grows in you it grows in you

Gat Do 03:01
Gat Do how she worked nothing ever could never satisfied her work for herself nothing ever could never satisfied herself she’ll come with me she’ll come with me she will save me she will save me she’ll come with me (if you could take the time) she’ll come with me (if you’d come with me) she will save me (if you could take the time) she will save me (if you could save me)

She Will Come To You sun up in the morning she will come to you sun down in the evening she will come to you she will come to you sun down in the evening she will come to you sun up in the morning she will come to you she will come to you sun up in the morning she will come to you sun down in the evening she will come to you in many ways in seven days well i’d hope for seven more by the seas catch summer breeze catch a thrill my heart to fill if you’ve got room in yours and by the seas catch summer breeze by the seas catch summer breeze by the seas catch summer breeze by the seas catch summer breeze

The Pond 06:53
The Pond could we find a place denied of rain I remember when the clouds would hold it in don’t you know don’t you realize it girl just how crazy I am over you don’t you know don’t you criticize me girl though this path just circles back i’m lost circle round the pond and I’ll give this all that I’ve got don’t you know don’t you realize it girl just how crazy I am over you don’t you know don’t you criticize me girl

String Of Dreams And Conversations just wait something to relate it to that we can’t undo you’ll start thinking in a way to stop and follow through its too late no one can relate with you lies dressed up as true you’ll start thinking in a way to stop and break back through walk down the street breathe the cold draw the smoke into my lungs now that you’re gone turned to this thoughts keep slipping off my tongue there’s so much at stake trick yourself into taking a step back how could i never ever really notice spent the day trying just to slow it back down how could i never ever really notice spent the day trying just to slow it back down sun rise on closed eyes brought me into the day never expect to feel this way the phone rings the salt stings it seems no end in sight rubbing the wounds myself to spite well don’t speak my heart creeks a ship sunk in the night fear paralyzed yet held me tight drunk dreams my heart screens the remanence of a thrill city beyond my window sill a hungry sky my windows fly into the clouds above me within my dreams beneath the seams sewn up from my recovery to tell the truth I followed suit and rose into the night black and please take care, I’d bring you there if I could find my way back yes, I’d take you with me I’d give you the moon from the skies for a string of your dreams conversation wise chasing the sun down and starting a race for the day just to see who begins first to fade away but when I awake dear I start to descend, just as well, though the smoke and the rain make it hard to tell starlight it seems to bleed into the day, turns the earth in your eyes to an ocean grey that seems to keep swelling and rolling back into your thoughts while somewhere in between my heart got lost
7.
Mumble 07:14
Mumble you know I’d miss you were you to leave half the time you can’t be heard you mumble almost every word just like me and when I kiss you I feel relieved but I have to reassure that the feelings I’ve for her, she’s for me some emotions I can’t mend as the doctor recommends, hate to see the thoughts will break through and you’ll perceive that an ideal can extend without purpose it could lend some belief the lies built into what was conceived rip the price tag off of fear this is music to my ears played for free know the only thing thats true is not what’s in front of you but what you see

Chromatic Dream instrumental

Leave My Heart As You Left It (Song for B in G) I once had a plan I want to be your man the days I’ll treat you right and dream of you at night but then you left me here I don’t blame you my dear you had to find yourself a feeling you can’t help but don’t worry man you’ll be okay you’ll get yourself together but being here without you just isn’t getting better I’ll wait it out and clear my head leave my heart as you left it it’s yours to take at any time my love to be expected prince edward island sand walking hand in hand exchange of photographs memories sure to last fifty lifetimes long more so now you’re gone often gripped by fear I long to have you near

about

In November of 2013, along with a host of amazing people, Scott Nicks completed his third full-length record entitled "String Of Dreams". It was a difficult time for Nicks in many different ways and by the time the snow was beginning to fall, he exhaustedly put this record into a state of hibernation. After a long period of going back and forth with the idea of it's release, he finally set a date. Friday July 17th, 2015 would be the release date for "String Of Dreams". This record is Nicks' return to his primary instrument, the piano. It is lyrically and thematically "strung together" by dreams and conversations.
