    Myth Of Logic is rooted in a deep love of Progressive Rock of all eras, but primarily that of the 1970s.
    Main influences that can be heard include Genesis, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Rush, Kansas, Yes and Saga.

    The new album, “Surrounded By Ghosts” was written and recorded here in Saint Petersburg, FL at Boyz Club South Studio and mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side music.

    The overall theme of the album is one of adventure, discovery and redemption.
    It follows the story of Robin, a man trapped and fighting for his life.
    He must find a way to defeat a seemingly invincible foe and escape his prison.

    The first single released from the album is “Born To Te Sky”, a flying dream of sorts set against towering clouds and limitless sky.

    Robin’s journey is represented through 12 pieces of varying texture and atmosphere from the more pastoral “Here” to the organ heavy “The Stone House” and punchy guitar dominated “Scars Lament”, “Hollow Body” and “Live The Sound”. The collection is rounded off with the lush ballad “Strange & Beautiful”, the epic “Crucible” and the plaintive finale “Surrounded By Ghosts”.

    “Surrounded By Ghosts” will be released to all streaming platforms and CD on 11.11.22

Here 06:21
Here Here is where I begin Somewhere toward the end Nothing is faded All is the light Here is where I begin I must begin again No way to know the end Closing the book Without marking the chapter I must begin again At the end Suddenly someone is there Growing a threatening stare Drawing a sword from nowhere Moving to strike from thin air In my heart I know the weight I feel their hate I’ll be the one Handling fate No one can help me in here Beating back engines of fear All goes red Blades flashing back Blindly attack I must become Stronger than that Echoes of promises heard Empty for want of a word I must begin to mend Starting again at the end With a mind to remind myself Marking off time I must begin again At the end Fewer ahead And much farther behind Here I begin again At the end I seem to be nowhere Closer to here than there Hope springs eternal From all that is lost I can’t begin again
2.
The Stone House I seem to know this house of stone She led me here to stand alone The ones I see not flesh or bone The faces here reflect my own The room upstairs - my world of dreams Surrounded now - forgotten scenes The world inside that upstairs room A magical place I left too soon So come along - I’m here to guide It feels unreal - the life inside The voices here don’t know my song The time is now to move along
3.
Born To The Sky Born to the sky Living to fly Living to try Born to the sky Living to fly Flying to find out Frozen Don’t know where to begin Getting warmer Spreading wings in the light Whispers Concealed in the wind Growing stronger Calling soldiers to fight Fly to the end of the line Higher than archangels can find Rising above even Heaven’s design Blind in the blink of an eye Dying to be born to the sky Leaving behind what the devil may find Reach out For invisible strings No controlling Only dreaming in flight Soaring Conceived in a storm Fed by lightning Held by thunder at night Fly to the end of the line Higher than archangels can find Rising above even Heaven’s design Blind in the blink of an eye Dying to be born to the sky Leaving behind what the devil may find Standing In the castles of cloud Asking questions Of the darkest unknown Sunrise When seen from behind Shines more brightly And the answer is shown Fly to the end of the line Higher than archangels can find Rising above even Heaven’s design Blind in the blink of an eye Dying to be born to the sky Leaving behind what the devil may find Fight for the right to defy Dreaming to be born to the sky Never to find what we’re leaving behind No falling down once you’ve made up your mind
4.
Scars Lament 06:26
Scars Lament If I’m honest I’ll admit that I’m a knife And lament the scars I’m leaving in this life Though I never meant to cut the ones I stained In the act of passing through they bled the same How do I heal? Scars go deeper than this Caught in the wheel I’m keeping the wounded near me If I said that I was sorry for my sins Would there be a way for healing to begin? If you let me make a key out of this knife And lament the scars I’m leaving in this life How do I heal? Scars go deeper than this Cut by the wheel I’m keeping the wounded near me How do I heal? Scars go deeper than this Caught in the wheel I’m keeping the wounded near me How do I feel? There’s no hiding from this Live by the steel I’m mending the ending carefully
5.
Hollow Body 04:10
Hollow Body The secret lies in silence And learning to be still In turning down the volume The space begins to fill The wounded part I carved away Has left me feeling stronger And nothing can reach me in here The wounded heart I tried to save Won’t haunt me any longer HOLLOW BODY The truth lies in the violence And hidden there until In pulling back the curtain The space begins to fill The one revealing secrets Isn’t speaking anymore And nothing can teach me to fear The Darkness had descended Long before I could not see The curtain never ending Was closing in on me HOLLOW BODY The End was in the margins Holding hands with Time Plotting out her anguish And knitting it with mine The Phantoms lost and angry And hiding from their pain The Curtain they are closing Will never part again The first of it’s kind The last plane out The one that you know The end of an error The rest of the best The web we untangled The ties that we bind with The weight of the ashes The love that she gave us The circle unbroken The square root of evil The only survivor

Strange & Beautiful Strange and beautiful Haunted and wonderful Hidden from sight By the veil of the night Silver in my veins Molten by her touch Wishing that she Was here reaching for me And so it begins Kisses of lavender wind Shadows of sorrow Now running for cover And I won't need to cast them again She is strange and beautiful Relentless and perpetual If I outran my fear Would she follow me here? Illusion and miracle Wounded and invulnerable Why shouldn't there be Someone trapped besides me? And so it begins Kisses of lavender wind Shadows of sorrow Now running for cover And I won't need to hide there again I feel strange and beautiful Spectre and spectacle Changes of mind Somehow fading behind me Touched and untouchable Nothing is impossible Losing my hold On the things I've been told And so it goes on Waiting in blindness for dawn Shouldn't there be Someone looking for me? I don't think I'll run from this one I won't need to run from this one
7.
Live The Sound I’m ready - Ready for the war Waiting like a weapon I’m screaming - screaming at the door Wailing like a dragon Always marched without a drum Always knew what I’d begun Always needed you to get left behind I live the sound The roar of desperation The cut of something found I left the ground The heartbeat breaks the anvil The wreckage they surround I’m holding - Holding my despair Moving from the outside No dreaming - Dreaming of the dark Burning from the inside Never needed to know why Never needed to comply Never needed you to make up my mind I live the sound The doorway to ascension Is still for me to find I left the ground For living in deception Has made me change my mind —————————————————+ I’m hearing - Hearing all the sounds They are here to guide me I’m learning - the weapon I have found Must become The Key Even soldiers must decide Someone loses when they die The door was always here for me to find I will leave The Key behind
8.
Crucible 12:00
Crucible Fired by the light of disillusion The Crucible waits for me A vessel of mending to alter my ending The pathway to set me free Fed by the heat of absolution The weight of my fate is sealed Guided by voices whispering choices The doorway has been revealed I can’t go on not being the man I’ve become No where to run - not seeing the sky for the sun Held in the grip of resignation I am here to remake my sword Unlocking the gates of possible fates A future I’m moving toward I am the one who let my designs come undone The End has begun returning to where I come from Forged in the fires of retribution The steel knows it’s meant to be Crimson and glowing - molten and flowing The answer is plain to me The blade has become The Key The answer is known To the one who left us here alone The timing is wrong For the lost who could not move along Nothing to it - See your way And then move on It’s okay - You can do it There’s a way to move on If I’d only known It was always here I could not be shown How to live with fear In starting out there And ending up here If I’d only known It was always here It was always here

Surrounded By Ghosts Sitting alone in that dark place Collecting the unanswered calls Another few lines on that strange face And staring down cracks in the walls But this time that I'm wasting Doesn't belong in my head And this wine that I'm tasting Won't help me to rise from the dead Sleeping in shadows that need me Knee deep in yesterday's rain Chains on my heart haven't freed me Existing just outside the frame But the torch I've been holding Is burning the shape that I'm in And the flame that is scolding Seems a bit close to the skin Standing alone in this dark place No longer surrounded by ghosts The hand that I hold wears a new face The one that I needed the most But it's time that I'm leaving The last of my phantoms have gone And the ones that I'm grieving Won't leave me alone for too long I'm standing alone in this lost place The one that I made for myself I'm learning to live with my true face The one with new stories to tell I'm tired of holding me down here I've fashioned a way to get free I'm letting myself let it go now And forgiving for giving the key To me
