Bags 03:33
These are the days of dealing the same old cards Rushing to the end is bringing awful starts Often was ironically obedient Parading inconsistencies until the end Trying to forget that Always sends you flying the opposite direction of the battlefield Thrown onto a pile like bags outside the door And I can’t say it out loud cause I’m trying to shield myself so let me Counting every letter in my sentences Reaching out to your dismissive tendencies Aimlessly projecting as I play both parts Cause those were the days of dealing the same old cards And it seems I’ve got a way with it But can’t see me waking up every day with it And it seems I got away with it But can’t see me waking up every day with it Can you?

Escape 03:33
I know I’m losing you again My composure doesn’t help and you assess me on your end Spilling my hatred all around Things I tried to lose but secretly I wished that I had found So many clutches in my brain If I have no one to talk to should I move out of the frame Roaming the streets late at night Do you realise there could be more than black or white? Maybe another day we will both start owning our mistakes I can show a million ways to avoid your heart, that’s all it takes Led astray, but I’ll find my way back Why do I let them get to me? There’s a side of you they think they know but clearly cannot see Hide in a locker till they’re gone Then I’m off to find you anyways, it’s how I carry on An invitation to escape I’m recording your anxieties and play you back the tape Roaming the streets late at night Do you realise there could be more than black or white?

Seldom Seen 04:20
Endless hours of standing there To watch the breeze run through her When there’s no one else around I thought Will she ever smile to me? Drowning in a love stream With my hands around my neck I choke the sound of hope as she leans I died when she smiled to me Every gift she offers Makes me want to offer more And when she broke down I was broken Now I die when she smiles to me Endless hours of standing there To watch her wash the scars off And from across the stream she waves Will she ever smile to me?

Loose End 03:59
You found my truth I lost you Found my truth I lost You cry while you find yours true I loved you I lost My fingernails swept under the floor  The paint was dripping on every wall and It petrified them It made them stress No point in wearing a different dress  Say that it is when it isn’t so Say that it’s moving on its own A counter offer that you’ll reject Another morning to forget Letting it happen Never review I wouldn’t know what to do with you Calling a friend and breaking it down Less than a cure but more than a frown One cat is orange  One cat is white One cat is old and enjoys the light A counter offer that you’ll reject  Another body to collect Taking the wheel Making it turn You found the truth I lost And all the thoughts that came and went They weren’t ours to present  A different mishap that we’ll resent The perfect morning to forget

Another 04:30
In the early hours of yesterday Incarcerated by the news I don’t need to hear about another Push me way too hard and I will break But in the meantime pour some on my way Cause I don’t want to know about another Self-assured about your misery In this house your echo fades I come bearing thoughts about another Like the poison entering a wound Aren’t you tired of haunting me Won’t you save me and go find another
6.
Time to sort this mess I need you more or less to keep me grounded You do as you wish I won’t take more of this once we see it through It can do no harm to amputate an arm Another one grows Sense of helplessness I give you more for less, you keep me grounded Meetings to attend There’s no point to pretend These clothes are mine and mine will always be My mind belongs to me but somehow it won’t differentiate Between two worlds today The spell is broken Tell me what it meant Oh, here it goes again Repeat the process Who told you to get right on it? Who were you with and ran from it? How long till you’re activated? Obstacles on every turn and nausea from the shit you’ve dealt with Burst and you’ll be apprehended Get excited, get ignited Get that face out of your sight and come back home all empty-handed
7.
In Front Of 03:46
To my core I can feel this weight In my core I would find it there Don’t trouble me All of it all of a sudden To my core I can feel this weight What’s waiting once I make it back Lay down How could I know it happened? To my core Don’t force me I’m false but now I understand To my core I can feel this weight
8.
Don’t come to me I’m cornered Speak carefully I saw them In white, braking feet On the dancefloor Step up, then step back This is our world And now, wait for it Big number A song made them mad for each other We don’t need to pretend Do we mean to pretend We don’t even pretend Getting ahead Of myself Into this vain All-nighter Everyone has A defence While they carry all The secrets And now, wait for it Big number A song made us mad at each other
9.
Their eyes on the horizon and the values are set I’m not just holding you back To be another action of the ones they’ll regret I’m not just holding you back Oh well Funny you don’t know the address Turn it Up and away, all that we get I don’t mean to enable I don’t need to excel Fight, don’t be too unable Right, don’t be too engaged Oh no Did you tell them I was going Too slow Working out, started showing I don’t mean to enable I don’t need to excel Fight, don’t be too unable Right, don’t be too engaged
10.
Burial 04:15
You don’t recognise me And so far you’ve known I’d give everything to make you see a future To make it out intact is not an option Let’s go I don’t recognise you Screamed so loud to show my convictions to my enemies For a second I was free, then back again to nothing It’s too late Other plans are racing in your heart It goes without saying, if there’s space there’s movement Then a flashing light until it’s over Then this weight is lifted from my shoulder For every time we thought we’re getting closer It’s too late
11.
Habit 04:14
Making a whole with only a part Somebody take me home Was there a moment I felt free Something to call my own Scrubbing your fingerprints away Cover you up Nobody sees you but I know That you have stayed with me Taking it day in and day out We’re stronger than we thought Betting it all where there’s no chance Someone to call our own Cover you up Nobody sees you but I know That I have stayed with you I’m going over everything

about

"This album was written between June and December of 2018, recorded & mixed in January through May 2019 and mastered in August 2019. It started as acoustic guitar songs recorded on my phone, then worked their way into more orchestrated versions on my looper, until the fully fleshed versions emerged a bit before and during the recording process. It explores relationship struggles, social disconnect, daydreaming, and revisiting painful memories, some real and others from nightmares I had at the time. I had a ton of fun making it and got to work with some incredibly talented people. I think the anything-goes excitement I had comes through in the recording. I hope you enjoy it!"
