Surfacing 07:58
I think it's getting kinda Hard to breath And I'm feelin' Lots of pressure Must've swam too deep I got 20 million questions Bout my life but Who can I tell? Oh well... Wake up in the dark From a comfy sleep I gotta eat some shitty food Navigate the streets And then it's just another day Another game of hide-and-seek I can't feel the warmth I don't know what I want I'm breathing in toxic junk I can't feel the warmth I don't know what I want I'm breathing in toxic junk And liquid funk... I'm feeling down I've got nothing to show But then you came along And then you said hello Whoa, hey there Grab yourself a beer We're having tons of fun The night is full of cheer Whoa, hey there Grab yourself a beer We're having tons of fun The night is full of cheer And I always Surface in the night I might get too drunk But I always have a good time I, Surface in the night But now it's time to sleep... I think it's time I better Find a job But I'm feeling no direction Like my dumb friend Bob I got 20 million questions Bout my life but Who can I tell? Oh well... Wake up in the dark From a comfy sleep I gotta eat some shitty food Navigate the streets And then it's just another day Another game of hide-and-seek I can't feel the warmth I don't know what I want I'm breathing in toxic junk I can't feel the warmth I don't know what I want I'm breathing in toxic junk And liquid funk... I'm feeling down I've got nothing to show But then you come along You always say hello Whoa, hey there Grab yourself a beer We're having tons of fun The night is full of cheer Whoa, hey there Grab yourself a beer We're having tons of fun The night is full of cheer And I always Surface in the night I might get too drunk But I always have a good time I, Surface in the night Have another drink... And I always Surface in the night I might get too drunk But I always have a good time I, Surface in the night I might get too drunk But I always have a good time I, Surface in the night I might get too drunk But I always have a good time I, Surface in the night Copyright Robert Edward Schaarschmidt 2015.

Pure Emotion 03:56
I'm always holding back, all my inner thoughts I can never say, what I want Nothings ever clear, always a mystery The more I think, the less I can see I'm still, waiting for the right time, got you on my mind I'm still, hangin' onto you now, nothing can stop it It's pure emotion, that keeps us alive It's like a magic potion, that money can't buy It's pure emotion, that sets us free Natural devotion, to what we can be I can't seem to find, the answers in my mind I guess its up to you, to show me what to do I tried but it's no use, I just don't care for you My mind is all made up, it's what I want Everything's so clear, no more mystery The less I think, the more I see I'm still, waiting for the right time, got you on my mind I'm still, hangin' onto you now, nothing can stop it It's pure emotion, that keeps us alive It's like a magic potion, that money can't buy It's pure emotion, that sets us free Natural devotion, to what we can be Copyright Robert Edward Schaarschmidt 2015.

Lunar Lover 06:23
The morning came But only I remained Alone in my sleeping chamber The night before Held something more Romance drenched by moonlight This love was new An open view And only good intentions Here comes the dawn We must move on And find ourselves another Lunar Lover We don't know each other Lunar Lover Worlds apart from each other Wait! Please come back I wanna love you again Please come back I wanna love you again I want you I want to take you home Please come back Another girl From another world Told me what she wanted I can't agree With her love for me It's only you I want to know Lunar Lover We don't know each other Lunar Lover Worlds apart from each other Wait! Please come back I wanna love you again Please come back I wanna take you home I saw you flying alone A shooting star in the sky I wonder if you remember me The feeling was so good I held you in my arms Why'd you have to go? The feeling was so good I love you... Lunar Lover There's no other You're the one for me I saw you flying alone A shooting star in the sky I wonder if you remember me The feeling was so good I held you in my arms Why'd you have to go? The feeling was so good I love you... Lunar Lover There's no one in this world like you There's no other No one makes me feel the way you do You're the one for me You're the one for me You're the one for me Lunar Lover There's no one in this world like you Lunar Lover The way you make me feel Can't be explained There's no other No one makes me feel the way you do You're the one for me You're the one You're the one You're the one Lunar Lover There's no one in this world like you Copyright Robert Edward Schaarschmidt 2015.

Everyday seems to move so fast I can't seem to hold on To my dreams Trying hard to improve myself But I'm running low on gas This dimension of time Moves quick Making the most of it Is the real trick How can I Make a difference in this life? The hand is moving I can't feel its touch I'm always debating That the future is tough I want crusading But my hands are tied up now Time is evading It's the ultimate bluff People come And good people go It's the things that they did That the time will show Something in the way they move Makes me want to feel that groove The pictures capture the perfect mood But at the time we felt it was crude In a moments flash we forget We can savor every second of the past We've had yet Am I stuck in this time? Or is the time that I'm in stuck I've been waiting for something But I get no response Am I stuck in this time? Or is the time that I'm in stuck Am I losing my mind? Or is the world losing me? The hand is moving I can't feel its touch I'm always debating That the future is tough I want crusading But my hands are tied up now Time is evading It's the ultimate bluff I'm mis-communicating With the goals of my life I keep circulating Through an emotionless flux I hope you're waiting For the moments to come Don't worry baby We'll have the time of your life We'll have the time of your life We'll have the time of your life...

High Tide 13:28
Tired of melting In a land so discreet Harmony lies beyond The giant sea Diving deeper Feeling further away Don't let us drown You need us around Bury us in the sand Keep us far from land Cut the rope So we can float to hope The further out we go The more we miss home... Remember yesterday We all agreed to stay Til we reached the day To sail the ship away Another years gone by But still the dreams alive We look out to the sun High tide has begun... Can we ever find a home To truly call our own Beyond the giant sea A place for you and me The further out we go The further out we are The more that we miss home The more that we are home Can we ever find a home To truly call our own Beyond the giant sea A place for you and me The further out we go The further out we are The more that we miss home The more that we are home Bury us in the sand Keep us far from land Cut the rope See we can float to hope... The ones you thank the most May be host to the only sense (The ones we hold the most) They find A curious mind Freedoms depth They wept They found They further out we go The further out we are Eternal sun Keep the light bright Keep the belles Above the sea Our love Will always grow And we know For eternity Will the high tide Bring us back? Or clear the track To easy access And obsess? Lost in a bliss Of pleasant valleys And endless seas... My friends Are all gone And I don't know For how long How come They didn't say They're sailing away? They said That they would stay Until we reached the day When we, would make it right Now I'm alone, goodbye. Copyright Robert Edward Schaarschmidt 2014.

I'm free From the cities golden anchor And maybe I can live how I want now Any other is gonna be Better than the place Where I've been living And my dreams Won't be torn apart by culture But then I made it to a town I looked all around All frowns Looking back at me Saying I should Turn back right now But I can't agree I've just broken free I ain't going back I truly believe There's a place where I can... I see People giving up On what they really wanted And working Til the years are gone So they got something To die for Some other way Is gonna be better Than they way That they've been living Nothings gonna hold me down I've got too much to do now But then I made it to a town I looked all around All frowns Looking back at me Saying I should Turn back right now But I can't agree I've just broken free I ain't going back I truly believe There's a place where People like me Are doing what they please Without society Keeping them down I truly believe Where all creatures can be Flourish where they please Without society Keeping them down I truly believe Until I saw Guns pointed at me... Don't expect an email Maybe I'll write a letter Probably won't remember All I need is Vision and the music My parents know I love them My friends know what I'm doing I hope that you're evolving Having fun Don't build your life imprisoned You only get one chance Life is Always growing Everywhere you're going Sometimes We think too much Bout how we're gonna do it Everywhere you go There's gonna be Every single thing You've ever wanted Believe In what you're doing It's the only answer Believe In what you're doing It's the only answer No one's Gonna make it happen Follow what you're feeling Feel like your life It's yours...

about

The first Bobby Shock album (although I originally wrote an entire album called "Friend For A Day" in 2012 but it was never properly recorded) this began the realization to compose full band compositions on my own. The first song to be written, "High Tide," began as a short story about all my friends moving away to college and leaving me feeling alone without direction, which became the main theme for the entire album and all these songs came to life throughout 2015.
Since then I have written, recorded and produced 3 solo albums: Surfacing (2015), Let Me In (2016) and Distant Flames (2017), and summer 2019 will see the release of my fourth album Shock Waves.
