rough cuts to power through I can't see far enough to look at you I'm always terrified of overstepping to the brighter side I've tried to take the inkblot off my hide can't commiserate with what's left of your insides no one's ever like the other guys I'm left with one stitch of your dress hard cleft in two, I've made a mess I could never look you in the eyes no one's ever like the other guys you don't compete for any other prize no one's ever like the other guys

Alarm bells ring the whistlers sing Flip the secret switch slung low within the armory A black car pulls up to your drive, a plume of smoke trails from inside It says there’s no craven way to satisfy a living organism’s right to die Look around, its closer than you think With quickness, into your neck they sink Helicopter blades whirring and I escape with my life Hiding beneath the city streets, gave up on praying for peace But it calls me out another time, another life to live instead off mine I still pray against my better thought, my insecurities will not get caught Old money spins around the time machine, the secret lies in how they keep it clean Still they call me out another way, a cheap alternative to saving grace

why can't i see light caves envelop me (cover up the sky) send me out to sea (never asking why) i don't know what's right digging up the past (picking up the rubble) tie me to the mast (the tree returns to seed) i see (i see) the roots are growing further into me i see (i see) the tree returns to seed i try to be grateful for everything i have and everything that's given to me but life is hard and i'm blinded by the clouds so if it's falling apart because of me or something that i can't see i guess i'll take the blame for all the things i could never fucking say

about

massive thanks to Wes Meadows of i hope so. for doing this split with me, and to George Turner for his huge help recording drums and mixing this for me.
these songs are about love, anxiety, and hopelessness. I hope you enjoy them.
