Refract 01:52
Ah, oh (refract into me) Silver daggers in the air I watch them fall and catch a glare from the sun Then I see you standing there: delusion or a dream, I fear Though tinted, the visions are vivid A haze is enveloping your inhibitions Take my hand, a vessel to a new infinity where you’ll refract right into me (Refract) Where you’ll refract right into me (Refract) Where you’ll refract right into me “They can take your world, they can take your heart, cut you loose from all you know: but, if it’s your fate, then every step forward will always be a step closer to home” Refract into me Refract into me Refract into me Refract into me

Fine Wine 03:37
There is no need to run away The night’s so young, why don’t you stay? Why don’t you stay? Oh, my love, my love, can’t help but think about you when I sleep You fill the space that I once used to dream of different things My love, my love, can’t help but want to feel your hands on me Your touches take me far away from these realities So come here, darling: once we start it, we ain’t leaving this party without a piece of one another and a shot of Bacardi What are you doing tonight? If you’re not doing me right, what are you doing here at all, babe? Your vision’s clouded my mind It’s aging like a fine wine, oh, and I would love to get a drink from it Yeah, baby, let me get a drink of it, get a drink of it Oh, my love, my love I gaze into the future and I see a different person than I used to be before we’d meet Oh, my love is suddenly all I know Poured me a glass, and now my past has gone right out the window naturally: it’s nothing on me How fortunate we are to be free, so free So come here, darling: once we start it, we ain’t leaving this party without a piece of one another and a shot of Bacardi What are you doing tonight? If you’re not doing me right, what are you doing here at all, babe? Your vision’s clouded my mind It’s aging like a fine wine, oh, and I would love to get a drink from it Yeah, baby, let me get a drink of it, get a drink of it Falling through actuality Can’t be found in materiality, no Just like that, I’m drunk on you Can’t be helped, oh, what can I do? Your vision’s clouded my mind It’s aging like a fine wine, oh, and I would love to get a drink from it Yeah, baby, let me get a drink of it, get a drink of it Your vision’s clouded my mind It’s aging like a fine wine, oh, and I would love to get a drink from it Yeah, baby, let me get a drink of it, get a drink of it

January Wind 04:22
Hennessy on tap I would rather die than go back to a mundane Monday looking like a Friday, high day Slide a little closer, come my way Come here often? I think not, otherwise you would’ve been another afterthought, but the power you hold I can’t contain My lips are begging to sing your name now The night’s still young, darling No need to hurry home The cold outside will wait for you Right now, I’ll keep you warm After that, who really can say? Maybe go, or maybe we’ll stay Either way, either way, follow me and we’ll fly away, baby Take me underneath the moon Oh, dance with me, leave footprints in the Snow falls ‘round us as we glide with the January wind, the January wind No one here but you and I: please sway with me, no mind to the breeze Up we go, you hold my hand in the January wind, the January wind (I, I, I) So cold (Ah, ah) Won’t you hold, hold me in the January wind, the January wind? (I, I, I) So cold (Ah, ah) Won’t you hold, hold me in the January wind, the January wind? Look into my eyes and see reflections of you inside Can’t lose that image, hung up on your every feature Hips echoing the beat, you’re dripping in silver I’d like to know, what is your middle name and can I walk you home? The night’s still young, darling No need to hurry fast We’ll see the sun regardless Let’s make this moment last After that, who really can say? Maybe go, or maybe we’ll stay Either way, either way, follow me and we’ll fly away, baby Take me underneath the moon Oh, dance with me, leave footprints in the Snow falls ‘round us as we glide with the January wind, the January wind No one here but you and I: please sway with me, no mind to the breeze Up we go, you hold my hand in the January wind, the January wind (I, I, I) So cold (Ah, ah) Won’t you hold, hold me in the January wind, the January wind? (I, I, I) So cold (Ah, ah) Won’t you hold, hold me in the January wind, the January wind? Numb to the bone, breathe in the winter air Twenty below, but we don’t really care You touch my face and I touch yours Feels like I’ve felt your skin before Not quite a stranger, but not quite a friend You just might be the means that make the end I’m not the type to long and plead, but I’ll lose my mind if you don’t come with me So take me underneath the moon Oh, dance with me, leave footprints in the Snow falls ‘round us as we glide with the January wind, oh, the January wind (I, I, I) So cold (Ah, ah) Won’t you hold, hold me in the January wind, the January wind (the January wind)? (I, I, I) So cold (Ah, ah) Won’t you hold, hold me in the January wind, the January wind? (I, I, I) So cold (Ah, ah) Won’t you hold, hold me in the January wind, the January wind? (I, I, I) So cold (Ah, ah) Won’t you hold, hold me in the—

I tried to keep true to my word and more Oh, here we go again now, ‘gain now Here we go again now, ‘gain now Yet here I am, lighter in my hand, of course Oh, here we go again now, ‘gain now Been cruising for a breakdown, breakdown, oh The last time’s never quite the last time, is it? Doing fine ‘til my old demise pays a visit Anybody ever told you no one really knows you? Never really that committed to the last time that I definitely said was gonna be the last time I guess I oughta take it back Somebody said, “Deanna, what are you gonna do to make a change?” That’s right, I said that, didn’t I? I’m striving for self care, but getting next to nowhere Starting to seem as if the concept is a lie Vices wash over me, I cannot go to sleep no matter where I lay my head down, head down The negativity touches and surrounds me I’m drowning in the clouds The last time’s never quite the last time, is it? Doing fine ‘til my old demise pays a visit Anybody ever told you no one really knows you? Never really that committed to the last time that I definitely said was gonna be the last time I guess I oughta take it back Down, down, down falls the smoke ‘Round, ‘round, ‘round, so it goes How, how, how will I cope? The last time’s never quite the last time, is it (the last time, the last time)? Doing fine ‘til my old demise pays a visit (the last time, the last time) Anybody ever told you no one really knows you? Never really that committed to the last time that I definitely said was gonna be the last time I guess I oughta take it back Take it back the last time

VFX 02:15
It might be too much What do you do when one whole day feels like a hundred seconds? You have to hold on tight, count ‘em on your right hand, and keep your head above the wreckage Can’t keep my hands feeling right (right) Can’t keep my eyes off the light Look in the mirror and catch my reflection: it’s purple and pink and it’s bright I can’t keep doing this, right? I can’t be doing this right (right), hiding the feelings away I’ve been trying to fight Look in your eyes Where is the heart you’ve been desperate to find, heart that you’re desperate to find, heart that you’re desperate to find? It might be too much Can’t keep my hands feeling right (right) Can’t keep my eyes off the light Look in the mirror and catch my reflection: it’s purple and pink and it’s bright I can’t keep doing this, right? I can’t keep doing this, right? Right? I can’t keep doing this, right? Right? I can’t imagine that I’m using up anything other than borrowed time, right? (Right) I can’t be doing this right, hiding the feelings away I’ve been trying to fight Look in your eyes Where is the heart you’ve been desperate to find, heart that you’re desperate to Find me in the corner of a dream (corner of a dream), taking my time through the dissonance (the dissonance) Don’t blink: you might miss out on what you have got to see (see) Keep your eyes open Keep your eyes open

Sky High 01:30
Feel lost in the thick of it I can feel the air thickening, fog rolling in, quickening Looks like no hesitance Depends how the day goes (day goes) Will I ever see dayglow (dayglow)? They know that I don’t know enough to find light Searching every path Can you hear me now, crying out for you like I gave away my life? Searching every path Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Sky high (sky high), sky high (sky high) Can you hear me now? Hear me, hear me Sky high (sky high), sky high (sky high) Can you hear me now? Hear me, hear me

DEANNA: Life is but a dream Such was true back when, back when you had fireworks in your eyes and thoughts of me in your mind What were we doing then (doing then, doing then)? Had me from the start Took me to the end Took me to see fireworks in the sky and breathe me in one more time You told me and I said, HATSUNE MIKU: And I said, DEANNA: “Can you hear my heart? Can you hear its beat? Can you see me fall apart at the seams? You’re the one that I want to hold when the nights are dark and cold, but now you’re nothing but a memory” Can, can, c-can you hear my heart b-beat, heart b-beat? Hear my, hear my— Can, c-can you hear my heart b-beat, heart b-beat? Hear my, hear my— HATSUNE MIKU: Artificial dreams keep me grounded when you log into my system: that’s when I find you fill my digital mind with unrequited ends (unrequited ends) Searching for the means, but the files can’t be found nowhere Wonder if my hardware would be so inclined to let me reach you on the other side and say, DEANNA: Side and say, HATSUNE MIKU: “Can you hear my heart? Can you feel its beat? Can you see me fall apart through the screen? Can’t you tell that I want to hold you? It’s written in my code Or, are you just here for the melodies?” Can, can, c-can you hear my heart b-beat, heart b-beat? Hear my, hear my— Can, c-can you hear my heart b-beat, heart b-beat? Hear my, hear my— DEANNA: Taking and taking, but you’re not giving what I give to you (what I give to you), give to you HATSUNE MIKU: Crazy that I’ve tolerated the shit that you put me through (that you put me through), put me through BOTH: I think that you might be deaf to it at this point, but I hope you recognize my sound through all the noise Can you hear my heart? Can you hear its beat? Can you see me fall apart at the seams? You’re the one that I want to hold when the nights are dark and cold, but now you’re nothing but a memory Can you hear my heart? Can you feel its beat? Can you see me fall apart through the screen? Can’t you tell that I want to hold you? It’s written in my code Or, are you just here for the melodies? Can, can, c-can you hear my heart b-beat, heart b-beat? Hear my, hear my— Can, c-can you hear my heart b-beat, heart b-beat? Hear my, hear my— HATSUNE MIKU: Ah! Oh, can you hear it? Ah! Oh, can you hear it? DEANNA: Heart, can you hear my heart? Can you hear my heart? Can you hear my heart?

Tell me, how did we get here, your arms around me, my hips moving side to side? The mirrorball illuminates me now, a vision in red right before your eyes Never thought I would give all of myself to somebody new It’s the least you could do to meet me in the middle Been holding my breath for a spirit to bring me love that is true, so let me say to you, “Take a little bit of my time, bit of my day, bit of my night Got me for life If you want it, you have the right” Held in your hands, my heart’s taking a chance I’ve never done no shit like this, I always stick to the plans Never forgotten myself like this before Guess that’s the hold you have on me Suddenly, the walls are dancing My vision is blurred; still, you remain my clarity (Oh) Never thought I would give all of myself to somebody new It’s the least you could do to meet me in the middle (Oh) Been holding my breath for a spirit to bring me love that is true, so let me say to you, “Take a little bit of my time, bit of my day, bit of my night Got me for life If you want it, you have the right” Held in your hands, my heart’s taking a chance I’ve never done no shit like this, I always stick to the plans Oh, you want it, I got it, and now there’s no way to stop it tonight Oh, let me give you the time of your life “Take a little bit of my time, bit of my day, bit of my night Got me for life If you want it, you have the right” Held in your hands, my heart’s taking a chance I’ve never done no shit like this, I always stick to the plans Think I would pick up right away if you were ever to call A stranger to me, but you just might be the end-all, be-all So, hold me tight, the mood is right I’ll follow you down into the light

Do you think highly of it, what you’ve done tonight? Or, does it have you running, running for your life? Connected all my pieces, read me all my rights, but when I opened my eyes, I never saw it coming I never saw it coming, no, no I never saw it coming Now that the day is new, baby, why don’t you wake up? I never saw it coming “Every dream is different, yet somehow feels the same Regardless of the journey, it is only what you make of it” Wake up!

about

May I present to you: the music of my dreams (literally and figuratively)!

What a labor of love it has been creating this album over the past two years. "In The Corner Of A Dream" carries you through a vivid dreamscape, from falling asleep and falling in (and out of) love to finding yourself and waking up, set against the backdrop of a big city. As someone who frequently has lucid dreams (and remembers them), this concept has always been something I wanted to bring to life. So much of this album was influenced by the artists and songs that I listened to growing up as well as the ones that I listen to today. I am thrilled that the world is finally getting to hear what became of it all!
