lyrics
Tell me you’re suffering
It’s self-inflicted
These self-fulfilling prophecies abound
Just turn the volume up and your ego down
Music can medicate
If art is a refuge for the willing
It’s a prison cell
To any who refuse to listen well
It’ll lock you up or knock you down and out
In a good way; you’ll see
Abandon your blues
We’ll choose a song and sing it loud
Just lose ourselves and let the sound
Envelope our wounds
In this medicine
Within the rhythm underneath our skin
This vexing notion
Is an illusion
Profound delusions that none on Earth are bound
Too self-consumed and proud to heed the crowd
Let the sound permeate
Try singing along; it’s therapeutic
Let it out!
One in a collective voice, aloud
It’ll lift you up and show you your insides
It’s a good place to be
Let the music be the womb
We’ll wrap ourselves inside the embrace
Of a sonic cocoon
We’ll reinvent ourselves; birth a new race
(Unite!) Let’s reincarnate
Invent cathartic rituals
(Unite!) Let’s meditate with
Music as the mantra
We’ll celebrate this transient life
Music as medication - Music as regeneration
Music as a meditation - Music as reincarnation
Let the music be the womb
The melody a mantra that can liberate
Like a sonic cocoon
We’ll reemerge as leaders of a new race
It’s self-inflicted
These self-fulfilling prophecies abound
Just turn the volume up and your ego down
Music can medicate
If art is a refuge for the willing
It’s a prison cell
To any who refuse to listen well
It’ll lock you up or knock you down and out
In a good way; you’ll see
Abandon your blues
We’ll choose a song and sing it loud
Just lose ourselves and let the sound
Envelope our wounds
In this medicine
Within the rhythm underneath our skin
This vexing notion
Is an illusion
Profound delusions that none on Earth are bound
Too self-consumed and proud to heed the crowd
Let the sound permeate
Try singing along; it’s therapeutic
Let it out!
One in a collective voice, aloud
It’ll lift you up and show you your insides
It’s a good place to be
Let the music be the womb
We’ll wrap ourselves inside the embrace
Of a sonic cocoon
We’ll reinvent ourselves; birth a new race
(Unite!) Let’s reincarnate
Invent cathartic rituals
(Unite!) Let’s meditate with
Music as the mantra
We’ll celebrate this transient life
Music as medication - Music as regeneration
Music as a meditation - Music as reincarnation
Let the music be the womb
The melody a mantra that can liberate
Like a sonic cocoon
We’ll reemerge as leaders of a new race

Forging Reverie New Hampshire
Forging Reverie, our passion project of eight years, unofficially crawled to a stop by early 2015 with a handful of
unfinished songs. As of yet, no tapes have been burned. : )
