Prelude 01:11
2.
There goes my life I have to make a decision What to do for now I have to choose between The devil and the deep blue sea
3.
Walter 03:28
Walter, tell me a story about a day Walter, help me not be afraid I don’t want to, end up with a pneumonia I want to, overcome hydro/achluophobia He says face your fears in light of What I told you now Surround yourself in darkness in the middle of the sea, tied down
4.
Olivia 03:18
I mostly see her every day My only friend who knows my name My mother asks if she's my lover I reply no she’s the other Olivia is just my age We get along and every way She helps me when I feel so wrong When I need help she comes along We’re just friends We’re best friends
5.
The Rain 03:42
Heading down the street to my work And my wipers go back and forth Rain comes down and I slip into dream about the heat and sunny sea Under shelter and with protection I can't be bothered by the harsh elements Mother nature throws my way she acts so kindly then misbehaves They complain when they can’t go outside Why’d you choose this place for your life? I don’t live life in vain And I don’t even care about the rain
6.
I’ve been waiting such a long time For a simple little good time Blowing kisses but to no reply Then finally a girl enters my life Feeling good, despite the weather Hoping that we can stay together My friends keep having babies I’m still young happily unmarried But i feel like somethings lacking It’s a girl, it’s you, it’s time
7.
Its such a fine day to go outside Take my hand we’ll be alright I wanna go outside I wanna lay in a field and dine
8.
Far Away 02:04
Dreaming of somewhere warm where when i go outside i’m not soaked to the bone You ask where am I? I’m on the coast Oregon If I go outside if i go outside i’ll be frozen But I got a life that I enjoy I got a job and some fancy toys But what a life I could have if I wasn’t in Oregon When I go outside When i go outside I’m frozen
9.
I wake up rested and Do things taking my sweet time I don’t feel nervous or Scared walking ‘round in the daylight I sip a drink that is Garnished with a lime No more worries Or problems that can arise Darkness and water are fears I can’t deny When the days get short My anxiety is an incline But until the winter I’ll relax and feel good inside Knowing I’m safe in the long days of July All Sweet Summer Long
10.
I see a silhouette and it’s not me it’s Got a better figure and stronger physique But I know that I’m good at cooking and I’ll never make you cry about anything I see a silhouette and it’s not me it’s Got a better figure and stronger physique Its got me nervous and thinking And then I started crying about nothing Don’t cry about nothing
11.
The Devil 03:06
When the lights go out and I Stare into dark I see an outline of a satan mark My eyes play tricks on me I can’t tell what’s real I can’t see anything but I sure can feel I sleep with light on but when the power goes out (silence) I wake up terrified relying on sound My eyes play tricks on me I can’t tell what’s real I can’t see anything but I sure can feel But, I see the devil The devil in the dark

Hypnagogic 01:46

Arbor Night 01:37

Arbor Dreams 02:30
15.
Every time the wind blows, I can’t sleep, I get scared, I’m awake I lose my power, in darkness, I can’t think, I just pray To God almighty, to help me, bring me light, bring me day Here comes the sunrise, he answered, I’m not dead, I’m awake Turn on the lights and I’ll be okay
16.
Sea Legs 02:51
Boarding, a shaky boat Trembling, as the boat rocks Sea legs, I’ve got sea legs Sea legs, I’ve got sea legs One more wave, and I’ll throw up My lunch onto the deck of the boat Sea legs, sea legs Sea legs, I’ve got sea legs
17.
I went to the beach today Looked out thoughts drift away thinking bout the fish at the bottom of the sea How he’s alone down there How he doesn’t have to care About the rules of society We met at the dock today All aboard lets drift away To face your fears in the middle of the sea I’m here for support Standing on starboard You know you can count on me Well its a deep blue sea its a deep blue sea its a deep blue sea and i don’t like it

Out to Sea 01:35

about

The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea is a concept double album accompanying the short story of the same title (short story included as pdf with bandcamp download). All songs on the album are written by Ponny Kosmas, but are written from the perspective of the main character August. The story follows August, who lives alone and decides to face his fears of darkness and water. The album captures August’s life, friends, emotions, and journey through song and the instrumental “Darkness” and “Water” suites. It is recommended to read the short story first, but not necessary to enjoy the music.

Thank you for reading and listening <3
