Clear the sky Migration season has arrived Louder than before Those voices I chose to ignore Lies make these teeth With new brands of neology Letters on a page But words that I could never say So why wasn’t I created with wings? To be part of flocks and amongst kings and queens And now the hearts and sky are times away from here I don’t understand—these sounds are so unclear Turning of the tide Heartless threads I would derive Set the loving sky The brightest days always died Change my scenery For different kinds of gallery That fragile winter bite These birds are now in a flight I know why I was refused to have wings I’m left here searching for love and pointless things And I listen to the Earth and she rues, “My dear—“ I now understand these patterns that whisper in my ear Clear the sky Migration season has arrived

Dead Oceans 05:43
And so we swim in different hues Sunken ships through and through But land locked aside Straight in the eye These dead oceans can pass me by Your colored panes and my dark sails Can tell horror, wars, and fairy tales But blood cells aligned Fingerprints combined We carry the name of those before died My mirrored hands are held with glue Hoping you don’t reflect or consume But confessions in mind Those ceilings designed These sorted old branches never lie And each breath in lung has its end So when the time comes do not contend But our love is confide Even bodies behind We extend our arms to the bond we tied

Royal Family 03:58
No more chance to change the carpet tier The red wall of voices—no longer here As eaters circle ‘round those wasted dreams The bay would have dreamt of such machines Born of fire to record the masses With that, God forgives and rescues Bonds within Now, papers slowly burn once brethren These past crowns fought through violent weapons Just canvas to paint sounds before Once rulers now turned by civil war The bearer of Christ preached his passes And the king faded glories A different skin And still I say: We are the Royal Family
4.
Little talks toward a fiery breeze Your colors gleam in a darkened sea With past scales to weigh a heavy mind And resting hands to fear the loving kind Our bleeding trees stand with leather roots And we chance ourselves for what ensues But these broken limbs have been traced Sparrows feed from the tongues we’ve placed Yellow pedals follow simple rhyme Watch as freckles surface in time So grace me hands and teeth behind And clocks will paint most perfect divides

about

My name is, Ryan Tharin, and my project is known as, Mockingbird. This EP marks the beginning of my hopeful, musical career and depicts four of the many episodes in my life. "Migration Season" is about the karma which one endures after an incident has past and later realizing why such agonizing occurrences have been happening. "Dead Oceans" is simply about my younger sibling and explains that even though we have our differences, we are still brothers until death—even after. "Royal Family" describes the deterioration of a band I was involved in with four other friends. The band eventually fell apart and we all went our separate ways—but I still consider us a family. And lastly, "Leather Roots" is about wanting to be a part of someone's life (regardless of their past) and illustrates the transformation from being friends into something more.
