So this is a continuation of what began as a compilation for my album, DOOR. It's about time, space, love affairs over dimensions, the door, what is behind the door, the other side, being trapped on the other side, or separated by time. A memory of a lover, but then not possible because no such lover exists, not in this dimension, somewhere else. Then the power of what is behind the door to destroy the world and anyone who messes with it, people who are not qualified (civilians). The ache of separation from a loved one becomes the thing sought after rather than the resolution. But we're in mid process. My book BLACK DOOR is under final editorial review and it deals with the same thing. In fact, on a personal note, it happened to me last February 2026 when I was admitted to the hospital for hypoxia, I slipped into a dimension in China but still in New Mexico at the same time. Ever since the experience, and all the shrinks ,etc , I've been on this journey, which leads ultimately to Ireland, where I think I am living now, but it's the 1800's. A lot of blather for you to read but it pours out of me like this. My apologies. This track could also be called SIRENS, as the three temptresses are in the picture, pulling the protagonist to the point of no return, losing himself on the other side. There is an allusion to being a split personality, and that is strictly a personal thing with me.

Threshold by The Zeph Daniel Experience

Following the story of Black Door... You get an early peek. It's about the barrier. The Threshold. Free Will. And Slavery. [Verse 1] We touched down I didn't know what I was up again The door knows me How can I extract this civilian Without getting lost myself Some halls go on forever This one leads to you But it also leads to me I hear my name in the carpet I hear my doubt in the vents Hold on, Thomas [Pre-Chorus] You’ve been gone for days Don’t want to be absorbed in the haze I keep my hands in the game I keep my face to the flame If I step too far in Will I come back the same? [Chorus] Hold on, Thomas Hold on, Thomas Don’t let it take you Don’t let it take you Hold on, Thomas I’m almost through [Verse 2] The desk light bends my shadow Down a corridor of files Every badge I pass Feels like a borrowed mile You left a mark on the threshold A scratch in the paint I follow it slow Like a prayer I can’t say [Pre-Chorus] You’ve been gone for days Don’t want to be absorbed in the haze I keep my hands in the game I keep my face to the flame If I step too far in Will I come back the same? [Chorus] Hold on, Thomas Hold on, Thomas Don’t let it take you Don’t let it take you Hold on, Thomas I’m almost through [Bridge] Some halls go on forever Some names get swallowed whole But I found the center And it looks like home If you hear me calling Meet me at the boundary I’ll pull you back I’ll pull you back to me [Final Chorus] Hold on, Thomas Hold on, Thomas Don’t let it take you Don’t let it take you Hold on, Thomas I’m almost through Hold on, Thomas Hold on, Thomas Don’t let it take you Don’t let it take you Hold on, Thomas I’m coming through

On The Other Side (of the Door) Lyrics [Verse 1] Ice melts in the glass The clock keeps time but not the hour She hears your footsteps in the hall Then watches dust gather where you stood [Chorus] On the other side, she carries what remains A key with no familiar lock Names are fleeting You can turn around and call it what you knew But the other side has already carried you [Bridge] Perhaps the door was never locked Perhaps this place was never hers She lays the key beside her faded drink And lets the quiet tell her the truth [Chorus] On the other side, she carries what remains A key with no familiar lock Names are fleeting You can turn around and call it what you knew But the other side has already carried you [Outro] There’s a door where the room should end She doesn’t ask what waits beyond it She steps through, and keeps walking

Dark Cinematic Rock. The Threshold fails, the town melts. The people die. What's on the other side of the threshold wants you. It knows you. It spreads to include everyone by seduction, but really it leads to... you know what it leads to. If it ever gets out. One Step Existence Z.E.D. [Verse 1] How it opened we don’t know The town melted No one survived They were reeled in Head skin I thought we’d begin [Pre-Chorus] But they know you And they show you One step at a time You’re really mine [Chorus] One step at a time One step at a time You’re really mine You’re really mine [Verse 2] She went through The love of your soul Vanished Banished Where I keep asking where [Pre-Chorus] But they know you And they show you One step at a time You’re really mine [Chorus] One step at a time One step at a time You’re really mine You’re really mine [Bridge] Where Where did it go Vanished Banished I thought we’d begin [Final Chorus] One step at a time One step at a time You’re really mine You’re really mine

Intentionally made as a wall of sound track. Retro but a new sound for today. Elegant harmonies, liminal spaces, lovers that ache in the in between of reality. Theme of this album to come. YOU AND I lyrics (Existence Z.,E.D., aka Zeph E. Daniel) [Verse 1] One door says me One says home long ago [Verse 2] Four doors old hall Dust beneath it all You by the gate disappearing sunlight A breath between what was and what might be [Chorus] I reach for your hand the plan that bends to the rainbow's end Back to you again Love was a place in time A place in time You and I [Verse 3] Rain on my coat Your window glows I almost call, then let it go [Verse 4] Some roads return, some only turn And lose your name [Chorus] I reach for your hand No plan, no plan Past the rainbow's end Back to you again Love was a place in time A place in time You and I [Bridge] If I choose that door Are you waiting still Or was it only us Before we knew what you knew before [Chorus] I reach for your hand No plan, no plan Past the rainbow's end Back to you again Love was a place in time A place in time You and I You and I

Remember - by Existence Z.E.D. [Verse 1] Bare feet on the floor Ocean breeze coming through used to be your chair Your face inside my head I remember you I remember [Verse 2] Salt upon the glass Rust on the sill Your dress hung by the window I called in the black Never made it back Not really me but your hand found mine other side of time. [Chorus] Hallways bend walls will end Your ceremony transitory cold winds blow fools rush below many lives to know is sublime All this time. [Verse 3] Yeah they come with trays Hovering so near not nostalgia or fear There all night I was afloat an eternal moat . All out of rope. [Chorus] Hallways bend walls will end Your ceremony transitory cold winds blow fools rush below many lives to know is sublime all this time. [Outro] We're still friends in this place tonight Clocks bend slow fingers glow Your touch grows It flows into dawn I remember you I remember

Lost in the Sanctuary Existence Z.E.D. Annie Ireland [Verse 1] Streetlights bleed into the fog A hazy halo on the night My thoughts they spin a tangled web A silent scream, a fading light Can you hear me now? [Chorus] Lost in the sanctuary Ever since you fade away Another day, another way [Verse 2] Footsteps soft upon the ground A whisper carried on the breeze A search for answers never found Lost among the ancient trees Can you feel me near? [Chorus] Finishing the fight Lost in the sanctuary Ever since you fade away Another day, another way Another day, another way [Outro] [Instrumental]

[Intro] Mmm... Where are you? [Verse 1] Aisle seven, 3:17 Your blue coat by the glass... I turned around Nothing there My list went soft Inside my hand I said your name Too low... [Chorus] I keep waiting By the same door Waiting... Though you don't come anymore I keep waiting Like you left a sign Somewhere I can't find Somewhere out of time... [Verse 2] Your coffee cup Still in my sink Tuesday rain Against the screen I wear the scarf You used to steal I tell myself You might appear... [Chorus] I keep waiting By the same door Waiting... Though you don't come anymore I keep waiting Like you left a sign Somewhere I can't find Somewhere out of time... [Drop] [Bridge] If you pass me Would you know? Would your eyes Move slow...? I have so much I never said Still saving room Beside the bed... [Chorus] I keep waiting By the same door Waiting... Though you don't come anymore I keep waiting Just in case Your footsteps find This place... [Outro] Mmm... Where are you? I’m still here...

All of It [Verse 1] You have a lot of nerve. You see a lot of things, but you don’t see me. You have filters for filters. You cast no gaze in any mirror. You keep the crown on and call it clean. You smile at the cut, then blame the blade. You take and you take, then call it grace. (You don’t see me) [Pre-Chorus] All of it has been leading to this. All of it has been a sham in the making. All of it has been boosting you to the heights. You climbed on mouths, you climbed on names. Now look at you, now look at that. [Chorus] All of it has brought you down below the ground. All of it, all of it, down. All of it and none of it is you. All of it, all of it, you. [Verse 2] You wear your truth like borrowed cloth. It fits for a night, then it starts to rot. You talk big when the room goes still, but the room knows better, and I do too. You want the room, you want the gold, you want the weight without the hold. No loyalty to anything at all, not even the face you call your own. (Not even you) [Pre-Chorus] All of it has been leading to this. All of it has been a sham in the making. All of it has been boosting you to the heights. You built that throne on breaking glass. Now it turns, now it drags. [Chorus] All of it has brought you down below the ground. All of it, all of it, down. All of it and none of it is you. All of it, all of it, you. [Bridge] Say it plain. Say what you took. Say who you were when the room went dark. No more masks. No more smoke. No more hands on the same old rope. If you stand there, stand there bare. If you want the truth, it’s already here. (Already here) [Final Chorus] All of it has brought you down below the ground. All of it, all of it, down. All of it and none of it is you. All of it, all of it, you. All of it has brought you down below the ground. All of it, all of it, down. All of it and none of it is you. All of it, all of it, you.

The Other Worlds - Existence Z.E.D. [Verse 1] Something keeps changing back I opened the door, no turning back It happens underneath my skin Nothing will stop the worlds from spinning [Verse 2] No one showed me how to cross No one named the gain or loss No one knew anything but could feel The destiny reminding what’s real [Pre-Chorus] Which wave carries me through? Which road remembers you? I recount the old world of blame Then I hear the room call my name [Chorus] Surrender to the other worlds Surrender to the guiding light Horizons fold together The lost is already found [Verse 3] How many doors on the shore? How many selves gone before? The journey bends to where I am A borrowed face, a phony hand [Bridge] Recreation, salutation Misperception, evaluation Sublimation, superposition Every answer is a condition [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Birth again (Again) Open the door and let me in My composition, your reflections Exposure, not prediction [Outro] The door is open The door is wide The other worlds Are on all sides.

I just had to do this. I am a fan. [Verse 1] Didn't want to run again But now you're gone Your name still on my tongue Like smoke on the wind The border fence fades Past the dry mesquite I keep my heart locked And one eye on the seat [Pre-Chorus] If I keep moving The law can't catch me If I keep moving This won't be a memory [Chorus] Take me down, take me down Río bound Take me down, take me down Out of this town Your ghost in the dust My heart in the sound Take me down, take me down Río bound (Río bound) [Verse 2] Motel signs blink out One by one in the haze I traded my last day For the price of gold Coffee doesn't help no light, no map Every mile I lose I leave no trace and no mark [Pre-Chorus] If I keep moving The law can't catch me If I keep moving You'll turn into a memory [Chorus] Take me down, take me down Río bound Take me down, take me down Out of this town Your ghost in the dust My heart in the sound Take me down, take me down Río bound (Río bound) [Bridge] Let the night sink in Let the wheels roll slow I was born to run When the river says go No more asking why No more looking back Just a silver road And a sky gone black [Final Chorus] Take me down, take me down Río bound Take me down, take me down Out of this town Your ghost in the dust My heart in the sound Take me down, take me down Río bound (Río bound)

Something beautiful.

CODE BLUE [Intro] I needed a break they were on me all week I was reaching for you but you were too far off like you forgot the game [Verse 1] My head keeps splitting I knew this would come You held your ground the feds took you away and you kept looking at me like you knew [Chorus] You knew that I knew but did they know who you were and Who am I You knew You knew Code Blue [Verse 2] How do I explain the oven in the walls the buzz under the skin the things crawling the ceiling up and down the hall the endless corridor it knows who you are don't touch the door Unless you're pure [Prechorus] Give me one clear shot to get you back there’s no judge it feels like the case was closed before they heard a word [Chorus] You knew that I knew but did they know who you were and Who am I You knew You knew Code Blue [Bridge] what they wanted was me as me I’m the one knows the space in between heaven and hell dark and light they’ll never sort it out it’s why they fight [Verse 3] How do I explain the oven in the walls the buzz under the skin that held within through the door the timeless hall different directions which one is real? the endless corridor knows who you are don't touch the door Unless you're pure [Chorus] You knew that I knew but did they know who you were and Who am I You knew You knew Code Blue [Outro] Code Blue Through the layers Code Blue Dissolving bounds Resolving frequencies Code blue Blue, Blue

I met an Andromadan She told me where to stand She lectured me on what should never have happened. [voice over, big dub) But it did happen! [verse] The decision was made And the human race stopped Like a big heart beat in an ant farm for the deaf No one cared. Chorus No one cared No one cared No one cared, they understood the backward meanings It was just another perspective As they are too stupid to know It has to be beyond reversal It's now, and all now exists. [verse] So we posse'd up And hunted them down Not hard to find among the lizards in this town To be free you must be or unbee Become or disappear Both are equal in a demented binary Final Solution The Philosophers never understood No alchemy, no good What is not provided in the thing that looks back at you Everything awaits for you [spoken} Everything pays for you Everything stays on one side While the other runs amok And out of luck.
