Limited Edition Album - SOLD OUT
I'm really pleased with how the packaging turned out. The front and back covers feature two beautiful paintings by Viktor Vasnetsov (1848-1926) - one of which inspired the album title. These are complemented by an interior watercolor painted by the inimitable Eshom Nelms.

The CD comes in a four panel wallet, hand-numbered for authentication. Because this was a test run with a new print house there are only 75 available (less than 10 left as of July '11!). The album can be signed if you'd like, just shoot an email to lostonpurpose@gmail.com after purchasing.

Also includes immediate download of 8-track album in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.

lyrics

Pick a disguise as the lights turn to shade as the doctors wish you a nice…
It’s such a shame but the highlight today won’t involve you at all
Do things have to be a charade make believe we’re ok come on baby you’ll…
Granted it’s true I’m still in love with you but what does that mean

All of my dreams play the same sorry scene I’m ashamed to admit
There’s only one end then it happens again like everything I’ve…
But it helps to write fears desires and fights a new face a new life
A new possible plan to go backwards again what’s the difference I’m already there
