Phases make up a life,

How lucky then am I,

To have had so many.



Ingrain me so with richness,

That real variance of feeling,

Indelible blessing,

Of the highs and lows.



Touched warm like of the sun,

By sweet fear of the yet undone,

A new leaf,

Anxiety’s gift,

To be able to feel and to feel like this.

Oh and I know it's made with

Intelligent design,

Paradise perfected,

All elements aligned,

But who's Eden, by design,

Will it resemble your childhood or mine?



In love we trust,

A leap of faith,

Into the next phase,

Our digital escape,

Gaze into eachother's mind's eye,

Released from flesh, to never die,



But can they capture the way,

You look to me,

Glittering in the glow,

Of my fallibility,

Simulate every freckle on your face,

Never dare to approximate,



And with this new leaf,

Save humanity's gift,

To be able to feel,

And to feel like this.

Shock my senses with the injustice of morning,

I fear I feel I must be falling,



Back to the earth,

To the seperateness of bodies,

And now you'll never see what I see,



All the beauty,

All the longing,

To share what can only be fleeting,



I wanted that connectedness,

Now I'm out here,

With the rest,



Live our lives,

I guess it's time we tried, OK,



And if I feel there's nothing more to know,

It's only because I haven't known very much of life,



Begging for something more to feel,

Running from anything real,



Coz all that we share,

And all we create,

Can only be laid to waste,

I wanted that connectedness,

Now I'm out here,

With the rest,



Live my life,

I guess it's time I tried, OK.

I don't mind that you have to go,

Because I'm still basking in your glow,

Isn't it fine to never find,

Out what you didn't need to know,



Oh you’re not good for me,

And I could never be good for you,

I’m not so arrogant as to believe that I could ever,

Change a thing you do.

A colossal concept album tying abrasive experimental production, spoken word, drones, breaks and more. Reminiscent of Lara’s earlier works as Lara Kills, the mix deviates into more traditional house forms as her commanding vocals steer the listener from a heady introspective moment into a lucid club thrasher.

"This is about someone’s thoughts both before and after the failure of a procedure to unite them and their lover forever in a virtual utopia. First the initial fear as to whether the designers could capture everything they loved in the other and then the crushing loss of realising they had failed to fully meld with the other and would have to live imperfectly and impermanently, with the pain of never fully being able to share a subjective experience." ~ Lara K.
