Here I go again, this story never ends, I think I’m losing the plot A hero’s quest, a castle to the west, a dragon lurks in the dark Then they break the spell everytime Then they ride away into the night Storytime’s ending and I’m getting older I don’t wait for heroes anymore Some nights, when the cold gets in I get swept up with the wind It blows too hard and I make sparks I fall apart and its dark I’ll stay til the walls cave in And there’s nothing left to win Lost in the wind, a crumbling heart An ember in the dark Here I go again, I go then I regress, I had it wrong from the start If every move’s a bet or just best guess, how does anyone tell things apart? How everything go, in the end? Don’t need to be saved, I just want a friend, I guess Storytime’s ending and I’m getting older I don’t wait for heroes anymore Some nights, when the cold gets in I get swept up with the wind It blows too hard and I make sparks I fall apart and its dark I’ll stay til the walls cave in And there’s nothing left to win Lost in the wind, a crumbling heart An ember in the dark Some nights, when the cold gets in I get swept up with the wind It blows too hard and I make sparks I fall apart and its dark I’ll stay til the walls cave in And there’s nothing left to win Lost in the wind, a crumbling heart An ember in the dark

WALLS 04:06
Did you watch the news last night? They said they’re shutting down again They said no one should be on the streets past ten We should turn off the lights. Fall asleep and stay in bed. What a night. Did you hear them in the streets, I was there in the crowd They call for justice in a town that won’t hear millions screaming out It’s all unfair, nobody cares at all Its fucking terrible. Feels like all I do is stare at these walls If I count to ten maybe then my heart will stop And I won’t have to watch this ticking clock, no strength to run, can barely walk What’s going on out there, behind these locks its getting late I’m waiting for a prayer, somebody say there’s been a mistake Feel these walls around me, I can’t hear a sound They say shut up, man don’t look up and keep your eyes on the ground But the world still moves, and it scares you I know, I feel it too, they’ll take it all if we don’t tear down these walls The flames are dying down Some tried to warn us, they were right, but it’s burning now Just keep your head down. If nothing’s left no chance the truth is getting out If I count to ten maybe then my heart will stop And I won’t have to watch this ticking clock, no strength to run, can barely walk Its tearing me apart, behind these locks it’s getting late I’m waiting for my life to start, I need a goddamn escape Feel these walls around me, I can’t hear a sound They say shut up, and don’t look up man, keep your eyes on the ground But the world still moves, and it scares you I know, I feel it too, they’ll take it all if we don’t tear down these walls

The Flame 03:52
Lately I feel like everyone hurts me Now I feel like no one deserves me But I don’t know… Did I make the decision to say bye Knowing how it would change my life Where do I go? Can this be right when it feel wrong I’m all alone and and I’ve got nothing to say Will each day just be the same, the same, the same? When the time is right my fire will burn through the night But til then, I’ve gotta keep the flame, the flame Alive Its painful, I have pushed but I have never been pulled There were times they told me I’m ungrateful But now they’re gone, and I’m moving on Tell me, should I be the one to say Im sorry, if anything I say will just be empty? Can this be right when it feel wrong I’m all alone and and I’ve got nothing to say Will each day just be the same, the same, the same? When the time is right my fire will burn through the night But til then, I’ve gotta keep the flame, the flame Alive Can this be right when it feel wrong I’m all alone and and I’ve got nothing to say Will each day just be the same, the same, the same? When the time is right my fire will burn through the night But til then, I’ve gotta keep the flame, the flame Alive

I’m still here, every day is maze, I dream of something beyond Every turn hear your voice, when I call no one responds You try to wake me at some wicked hour at night I believe there is more than I see, I don’t wanna believe my own eyes Don’t stop me I will fly into the sun I dare anyone I’ll spread my wings and run More than anyone More than anyone I’m not special, I’m am threading a needle, and I am no better for that I’m not saying there’s no good or evil, but its hard to be good when its bad You try to wake me at some wicked hour at night I believe there is more than I see, I will search for you starting tonight Don’t stop me I will fly into the sun Clip my wings, I’ll run I’ll fall, I need your love More than anyone More than anyone Don’t stop me I will fly into the sun Far from everyone I’ll fall for what I love More than anyone More than anyone

about

Sasha Atlas's debut EP is an exploration of the uncertainty that comes with entering adulthood in an increasingly unstable world. Sonically, the record ambitiously dives between rock, pop, and electronic stylings, with each song embodying a unique blend for a modern and innovative sound. This record follows no rules, it is an earnest exploration of a young person's journey through the uncertainty and trials that come with growing up.

SECRET BONUS TRACK INCLUDED: Buy this album, and get to hear the first song I ever recorded. I will probably never release it, so it will probably never be available anywhere else.
