Over & Over 05:31
And the weight, it hangs on my shoulder It comes over and over Like a setting sun And the shakes, they wake me up sober Trying to take what’s left over Cause it’s never done And as I watch I can see what’s taking me It’s the dark friend that keeps her heart from me As I long for some peace, I feel diseased You’ll never be what I need, a friend indeed And the days, I feel they grow longer I grow colder and colder Until the show is done And the haze, I put myself under It gets lower and darker Then it’s said and done And as I watch I can see what’s taking me It’s the dark friend that keeps her heart from me As I long for some peace, I feel diseased You’ll never be what I need, a friend indeed
2.
You say that life’s something maybe you want You take and hide all the good that you’ve got Is it time to take a look at all the shit that you’ve done This valentine’s not a love you should want Take down the wall that’s grown all around your love Take down and crawl up over, the past is done The dazed and nights though the white woken up Just leave you hiding and fighting to run There’s a time to play, then a time to pay, there’s no light of way for the drugs you take baby This valentine’s not a love you should want Take down the wall that’s grown all around your love Take down and crawl up over, the past is done Your fetal flaws and your mind is shut the promises to the mirror’s done You’ve waited long but your time has come To rid yourself of the devil’s son
3.
When the fever came, my ideas woke Back in 88, I sank the lifeboat Remember what it used to be The spark of something golden and free I never had to justify The one thing that I should have believed Getting on, getting on, getting on home Whatever point you reach, it points to business I know I made mistakes, I don’t ask forgiveness A man could work a thousand years And still not see the things I have seen But surely he would get some place In time he could be free of his dreams Getting on, getting on, getting on home
4.
I took a ride through the darkness inside And the hard times waiting down the road I made a line from the dollar sign And I’m making my way down through your soul I moved my eyes through the shadows and light For the drawn and infected down below I wait a while, but it’s not enough time Help me, help me as I go Good night, Good night, Good night, Good bye It’s my intention just to get your attention And I’m swaying and swinging like a stone I lit a fire then I walked on by her It’s a love that I’ll carry down the road Good night, Good night, Good night, Good bye

Lucifer 06:25
If I told you I knew Lucifer Would you pack your rags and leave me And if I told you I had nothing left Would you blind my eyes completely If I’m in trouble and I’m weighted down I wonder who would come to see me No God, no devil, and no shining light But someone plays the part to please me If I had it over and I could change my life Well I’d still take the one you gave me At times I fell, at times I chased the high I guess we’ve come down kinda bleeding
6.
Pulse 04:11
One day, I’m sure Gonna leave these velvet shores Not much, left to find Gonna flee these crying skies One day, when I’m gone Gonna sing these desert songs From my life, on the run Trying to beat this setting sun Always needing more Always seeking all Always feeling more One day in my life I’m going to feel those left behind And I’ll know, I was wrong I couldn’t sing that human song One day, when I’m gone Gonna sing these desert songs From my life, on the run Trying to beat this setting sun
7.
Oh my lord, take my soul In the evening time Under winter skies By the candlelight Oh my lord On the countryside Through a night of wine Talking side by side Underwater eyes On a moon so bright Floating quiet like

about

Dream State Treasure is the debut solo release from Australian born, Los Angeles-based artist Scott von Ryper – best known for being co-founder of the Australian duo The Black Ryder and touring guitarist for The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Primarily recorded and mixed in his home studio between 2018 - 2020, von Ryper utilized the break from touring, and almost complete isolation in 2020 to explore sonic themes that he had experimented with early in his career when still recording on a 4-track, but just now producing them on a much grander scale, playing most of the instruments, recording, producing and mixing the majority of the record himself, with additional recording and mixing from LA based engineer Norm Block, who also played drums on the record.
