4am (*thommo* and EllE)

After our previous collaboration, I was so pleased when EllE (Cycle of Hands) agreed to work with me again on this new track, both with the music and vocals. It has not exactly been an easy ride and I have to admit that at times I almost gave up on it...but I am so, so glad that we both persevered, as '4am' has become something rather special and unique. Huge thanks to EllE. She is - and always will be - a star. You can contact her at https://soundcloud.com/cycleofhands Lyrics below: There are some things that wait until the quiet Time of night To take over your mind before the day gets bright When everyone’s still asleep I feel like I might Be the only one alive so I look to the sky I take comfort in the stars and the moon in despite Of their distance from my room where I sit and write Pieces of ideas from this muse deep inside She’s the higher form I use to free my light It’s 4 am and I am In the deep end No sleep then For me this night It’s me and my mind I can’t unwind I wonder I hunt for What is life I Ignite a little fire to see where I am In the A.M. I get tired but I still can’t land Mayhem of creation doesn’t care about plans I made when my intention was lights out by 9 But Inspiration beckons and I can’t reject the call If it is passed to me it’s disrespect if I drop the ball Of energy like electricity from the wall It’s all I see and I know its me who needs to crack this vault It’s 4 am and I am In the deep end No sleep then For me this night It’s me and my mind I can’t unwind I wonder I hunt for What is life It’s 4 am and The world is small This screen the window And my wall No sounds are heard Except my own thoughts They go Back and forth And it ticks me off My eyes are glued to this new creation I can’t stop, drop or leave this inspiration Inside me theres a key to the ignition When its turned There is no chance of intermission I’ve been hitting on something much bigger than fiction I know Because it comes straight from my deepest intuition It can’t wait to escape from everything I’ve written Leaping from the words the moment you see em So tonightt I am defying my sleep cycle Gonna try to give life to these dreams that I pull From the hat on my skull That been getting too full With ideas and scenarios playing like a film roll On repeat so I need to hit focus and record Can’t miss a thing double checking every cord I know that the final piece is my only reward I blow through minutes and hours with every step taken towards My gold
