Tracks:

1. Climbing Shadows

[Verse]
Head's a storm can't find the calm
Every word slips through my palm
Books pile high but the meaning fades
Can't escape this shadowed maze

Dreams of freedom they clash and burn
Lessons learned but none return
Each page a mountain I can't climb
Time keeps ticking but it ain't mine

[Prechorus]
Hear the gongs they echo deep
Call me back where the spirits keep

[Chorus]
Anxiety anxiety climbing shadows chasing me
Through the peaks and valleys high where the eagles scream and fly
Ancestral voices
Can't you see? Lift me up and set me free

[Verse 2]
Nose flute cries like a lonely star
Guiding me but the path feels far
Bamboo drums like a heartbeat's roar
Pounding truth in my core

Two guitars duel like fire and stone
One's my fear one's the life I've known
I stumble forward lost in the song
But the roots below keep me strong

2. Breathless Thunder

[Verse]
Pulse pounding wild in my chest
No air no calm no rest
Chasing the wind it’s never there
Eyes wide breathing fire in the thin mountain air

[Prechorus]
The gongs crash the earth shakes
My body burns my soul quakes

[Chorus]
Breathless thunder in my veins
Deep breath deep breath nothing remains
Breathless thunder shout to the sky
Can’t hold it back can’t hold it why

[Verse 2]
Echoes of chants from the stone
Bamboo beats rattle my bones
Flute cries like the lost in the dark
Breath tangled up in the tribal spark

[Prechorus]
The drums pound the hills scream
I’m trapped in this fever dream

[Chorus]
Breathless thunder in my veins
Deep breath deep breath nothing remains
Breathless thunder shout to the sky
Can’t hold it back can’t hold it why

3. Shaking Inside

[Verse]
Heartbeat pounding faster
Like a drum in the dark
Chasing shadows but they’re laughing
They’re tearing me apart

Gong strikes in my head
Bamboo breaks my will
I’m a prisoner in my body
A mountain I can’t kill

[Prechorus]
Shaking shaking
Shaking inside
My mind’s a cage
And I can’t hide

[Chorus]
Shaking inside I’m breaking apart
This nervousness tearing my heart
Shout it loud let the spirits collide
Shaking inside shaking inside

[Verse 2]
Bad habits like chains
Tight around my chest
Lifestyles that betrayed me
Won’t let me rest

Nose flute wails like sorrow
The hills cry in pain
Ancestors whisper warnings
But I live in vain

4. Mountain Nocturne

[Verse]
Eyes wide open wide
Clock's a liar time won't slide
Gong beats echo through my chest
Bamboo whispers no place to rest

[Prechorus]
Flames in my head they rise they burn
Ancestral winds twist and turn

[Chorus]
Sleepless nights sleepless fight
Shout it loud into the night
Mountain spirit hear my cry
I can't rest I can't lie

[Verse 2]
Nose flute wails like a ghost unseen
Sweat-soaked shadows split the dream
Riffs like thunder crash and roll
Stress cuts deep it swallows whole

[Prechorus]
Drums of the earth pounding fast
The past the future they clash they clash

[Chorus]
Sleepless nights sleepless fight
Shout it loud into the night
Mountain spirit hear my cry
I can't rest I can't lie

5. Cracks In The Mirror

[Verse]
Eyes on the page but it blurs to black
Heart’s a drumline attack attack
Can’t breathe can't think can't hold the track
Aching fingers scratch the desk like it’ll talk back

[Prechorus]
Gongs in the hills they echo inside
Flute whispers soft where can I hide

[Chorus]
Cracks in the mirror they show me clear
I’m the fighter the mountain hears
Sing with the stones rise through the tears
I’m not breaking I’m still here

[Verse 2]
Hands so cold like the rivers run
Questions rain but no answers come
I feel the bamboo’s hum hum hum
The chant in my veins I’m not undone

[Prechorus]
Echoes of drums they steady my hands
Ancestral fire ignites where I stand

[Chorus]
Cracks in the mirror they show me clear
I’m the fighter the mountain hears
Sing with the stones rise through the tears
I’m not breaking I’m still here

[Verse]
Fingers trembling like autumn leaves
Aching mind won't let me breathe
Whispers of the mountains calling
Far from the chaos falling falling

Herbs in my hands
Gongs in my ears
Will they chase away these fears

[Chorus]
Oh mountains in my mind
Hold me steady in your time
Oh breathe the air so wild
Heal the restless child

[Verse 2]
Candles flicker shadows dance
Modern pills but no romance
Bamboo clatters heartbeats pounding
Ancestral songs keep resounding

Fire on the stone
Can they bring me back my own

Oh mountains in my mind
Hold me steady in your time
Oh breathe the air so wild
Heal the restless child

Heavy air
It pulls me low
In my chest
It starts to grow
Like whispers crawling under my skin
A fire inside that won’t begin

Echoes of the heart
They’re breaking me apart
Pounding like the gongs
The beat is strong
Shadows on the walls
They’re singing ancient calls
Lost but I belong
I belong

[Verse 2]
Hands tremble
A river flows
Through veins of ice
It comes and goes
Bamboo whispers in the wind’s embrace
A thousand voices
A fleeting face

[Prechorus]
Is it fear
Or is it pain
Or a storm inside my brain

[Chorus]
Echoes of the heart
They’re breaking me apart
Pounding like the gongs
The beat is strong
Shadows on the walls
They’re singing ancient calls
Lost but I belong
I belong

Nose flute cries
The mountain weeps
Chants awaken
The soul it keeps
Heartbeat drums
Bamboo hums
We’re all connected
The same blood runs

Screaming lungs pounding chest

Stomach flips like a raging tide
Bamboo beats and the spirits collide

[Verse]
Dark clouds sitting heavy in my chest
The pills and the bottles ain't giving me rest
I’m lost in the noise the silence screams
Chasing the calm like a fading dream

[Prechorus]
Gongs are calling in the mountain air
Echoes rising breaking despair

[Chorus]
Mountains and medicine
Fighting the fire within
Drums of the earth
Gongs in the wind
Healing starts where I begin

[Verse 2]
Hands shake when the night starts to fall
I hear the whispers they’re ancient they call
Through bamboo beats and a nose flute cry
Lift my spirit let my fears die

[Chorus]
Mountains and medicine
Fighting the fire within
Drums of the earth
Gongs in the wind
Healing starts where I begin

[Bridge]
Twin guitars scream like the thunder breaks
Underneath the chant the ground quakes
Feel the pulse the rhythm divine
Tribal heart and rock combine

12. Sanctuary In the Storm

[Verse]
Breath heavy, heart's pacing, skies feel like they’re caving
Cold steel walls, the hum of machines, feels like a safe haven
Mountain whispers in the breeze, echoes of the ancients
Healing fire in the veins, burning through the tension

[Prechorus]
I bend, I fold, but I rise unbroken
Steam rising, heat on skin, words unspoken

[Chorus]
In the storm, I find my calm
In the chaos, there's a psalm
The earth, the air, the fire, the rain
Sanctuary, soothing the pain

[Verse 2]
Yoga flows, untangling the knots inside
Hot stones and tribal chants, where spirits confide
Air trapped, the pressure fades, letting go, release
Roots dig deep in the soil, carving out my peace

[Prechorus]
I purge, I cleanse, through the mountain’s song
The drumbeat's heart, where I belong

[Chorus]
In the storm, I find my calm
In the chaos, there's a psalm
The earth, the air, the fire, the rain
Sanctuary, soothing the pain
