My Gemini (single) was the first song we released. The lyrics are very personal, but also have a strong universal message as well. This number was originally created in 2008, but was essentially re-done in 2011. This song was important to us as a group, as this was the song that helped us transition from two solo acts, helping each-other out, to a collective. This is the same as the album version.

Where from Here (alternate) is a song that was born during the mix-down of the album A Perfect World? This contains the same vocal, electric guitar and strings, but there are also some additions and cuts. We feel the smooth, strident style works incredibly well with the message in the lyrics.

What I Believe (live) is the song from our first YouTube video. The track was recorded live with the help of some technology. Brian plays in Massachusetts, while Chris joins in Florida.

My Gemini

I’ll journey in the unknown
Try to find where I belong
Can’t wrap my head around this
So I’ll write it in a song
I’m not ready, yet, to say
The words you want to hear
And, though, at times
I know it’s true
Can’t fight this numbing fear

She came to me in a dream
And stayed ’til sleep was fleeting
I awaken to find I’m not alone
And my once-dead heart is beating
Your beauty is in my eye
My twin, my reflection, my love, my Gemini …

I want to say these words to you
But they’re locked inside my head
Can’t reason why I cannot say
Just hope my heart’s not dead

You came to me so quickly
Now, I’m begging you to stay
Feeling what I’ve never known
But lack the words to say
Been caught inside my skin for far too long
And now I pay
Will your patience compensate
And wait for what I have to say

Repeat Pre and Chorus

Once the thought leaves my lips
There’s no going back for me
The life that I once knew
Will recede into memory
And so I take this chance
And say these words to you
I hold my breath and wait to hear you say:
“I love you too”

Where from Here?

So where do you go from here?
Do you turn yourself around?
Do you let it tear you down?
Where do you go from here?

This can be a heavy load
When life shows a divide
It’s what you have all been taught to see
Days like this will happen
But the ease it comes in time
Life reflects just what you believe

“Where from here?” I ask you now
‘Cos there’s nothing more to say
Search your heart, it will help you see
You do not have to struggle
Our words have shown the way
Take my hand you will not be alone

Repeat Chorus

If you please could tell me,
Do you think that you’re alive?
Aren’t you controlled by what you fear?
I do not want to hurt you
But I need you to search within
All that you know might be a lie

I’ve told you once; I’ll say again
You’re all a part of one
It’s up to you now
We’ve showed you Fear is part of Hope
It’s what you chose to see
What will you do?

How I want to leave this is …
It’s all within your reach
What you chose is your destiny
So please think twice I beg you
What you do affects us all
Life is not just what’s in our world

Repeat Chorus

Where do you go from here?

What I Believe

Where I am it seems where I began
Left this cell now I’ve returned
Once released, I guess there was a catch
‘Cos I’m back behind these bars

I thought that I was free
It seems it cannot be

Lift my head, my face shown on the glass
What I see I can’t believe
Who I fear, his face shown in the mirror
Oh such pain; I’m the cause

It seems that he is me
My worst Fear holds the key

What does this mean?
This shatters all I’ve ever known
All my hopes and my fears
It seems I’m what I believe

Where from here, and who was in my dream?
She freed me once so long ago
What was Hope? I look again the mirror
Her sweet face has become my own

Who had once set me free
Another piece of me

Repeat Chorus

What I am is what I chose to be
No more sides it’s all within
It’s this key that frees me from myself
No more bars to hold me back

No more war in my heart
Now my life it can start

Repeat Chorus

It seems I’m what I believe (twice)
