The cold dark and empty room with nothing but silence it calls out into the still "will you search for me?" The ghost, buried in the stone he once was a city of gold now a terrible shadow grows the brother stars all agree There is a light leading me on passed the grave there is a light calling me away The fold, a red and hallowed scene a lingering echo is heard with a voice that calls to me it sings "la la la la la la la" There is a light leading me on passed the grave there is a light calling me away when we go to that sacred place we'll have eyes of fire, eyes of fire

Brother 03:53
Careless Wanderer, let it go, let it go do what you've been told: let it go, let it go A father's recompense, let it go, let it go another second chance, let it go, let it go whispers and wonders concerning your brother that leave you alone, at the end of your rope with nobody home you will fight this alone the words that you spoke rise up only to choke the whispers, and the wonders
3.
Awake 04:57
This height that I won't climb Keeping both feet on the ground all of the time This fight on my mind Do I go, and soldier on, or let it die? I hear a voice inside my head Follow me and awake! I will take you to a better place Sometimes, the calm of sea Hides a rage, underneath, inside of me This light that I can't hold It'll burn away the bones It'll burn the bones away
4.
Weary Soul 05:06
I've been walking around for far, far too long where everyone knows my name, and knows my song it's been plenty years fighting on the devils' plane where giving in is little gain to my weary soul I've set a thousand fires in the name of a thousand little lies I've set a thousand fires can somebody tell me what's really going on? I'm a battle-born, a stranger and a lover scorned I get sentimental when I mourn for your broken heart these callous eyes, were never meant to see your sky just a hurricane that you disguised with how things really are I've set a thousand fires in the name of a thousand fires in the name can somebody tell me what's really going on?

Sleep now child you have come a long, long way without Breathe in, breathe in the night Let it take over you, over you Close your eyes they have seen a burning world fade away leave this life and start over again, over again And sing oh, oh the very thought of you... tonight, may you find eternal peace She wakes in autumn and speaks in a whisper "only the lonely will claim they have missed her" the spinning of worlds on the tip of her finger she is to me, the song to the singer sleep now child tonight, may you find eternal peace
7.
Parasite 05:07
I'm alive to you, I'm alive as long as I'm good but every step that I take is a calculated mistake and every drop of blood, will be on your hands you're a parasite, you're a parasite of the mind feeding off the dead, living off all our kind but every single breath will have to be replaced because we still know, yeah we still know Well I can run as far, I can run as far as you see you can bang on your drum, or scream at the top of your lungs but every sound you make will be your soul to take
8.
Red Letters 05:21
Oh letters! You were made to destroy, combat our system we're hopeless now we're waiting, just waiting Red letters! You were made to destroy, bring about the end with hope now we're waiting, waiting They'll pick you apart, and leave you to dry on my time they will never know, never know
9.
Map of Scars 03:00
In a crowded place, it's hard to know where to begin but you find your way, when it all looks dim every turn will have its own reason there's a map of scars under your skin though it feels like someone is watching over me Everyone loses faith, we trade on vision for another and hold on to anything, that's "solid ground" but a wave will bring a new season there's a map of scars under your skin though it feels like someone is watching over me
10.
Crawl Around 03:46
You've run aground with faces down a cloud over your head now seemingly, what you believe is out of breath hey, don't crawl around my grave a sudden end, a great pretend a shadow in the blaze don't lose your hope, don't lose yourself the sun will rise again hey, don't crawl around my grave
11.
Animator 04:58
I know I'm guilty of doing this always: I make you whatever I need you to be I'm shallow and hallow, much like this body I sleep in the shadow of my family tree Am I made to believe, or made to destroy? I've always had trouble in telling the two Let me rest now, and grace me with quiet Alone with my memory of you Daylight breathes my waking world Turning over now Still you crawl A break in the armor, a sudden reversal of fortune I'm lucky that I'm still so young They'll say on our graves "We were made for this day" Oh they'll say, oh they'll say, oh they'll say... Daylight breathes my waking world Turning over now When you call I let go of all I believe And they'll say on our graves, we were made for this day When the day comes to an end How will I make amends With the Light inside of my veins and this animated chain?

about

Traveler, Kid Architect's second full-length album, continues to show the band's evolving maturity in song-crafting and experimentation with new musical ideas. Staying true to the haunting melodies and layered guitar work that make Kid Architect so unique, Traveler explores both the heavier and softer side of the band, weaving between the two effortlessly to create an album that keeps listeners captivated from start to finish. From the pulsating and driving tunes such as "Mysterium Lunae" and "Awake" to the haunting and eerie "Parasite" and "Crawl Around", Traveler delivers on all levels.
