Well here we are And there we’ll be The world is crashing down right in front of me A few texts fucking up my decision tree and I let it happen Most of all? They don’t know me Thirty one years without understanding You’d think I setup a some kinda boundary But I froze All my friends play in stadiums now I guess I never really figured that out To busy trying to keep my feet on the ground Pandemic years are ruining our lives Our paths? They were never intertwined So raise a glass and just forget me Pull your boots up Get your mind right Take another drag Sink your head into the ice Find a way out and Nudge your way in All that weakness Never looked so good Pull your boots up Get your mind right Take another drag Sink your head into the ice - Find a way out On the way in All that weakness Never looked so good No more late nights Where we’re pretending My identity isn’t worth anything You want to ride with me for a lifetime? close all your apps look in my eyes Pull your boots up Get your mind right You never fit in You never really felt right Coffee’s up now Don’t waste the day away Thinking about some shit That you will never change Repeat after me Over and over again: You’ll be just fine now You never needed them

Jumping off a bridge to bixby canyon bridge by death cab inside my dream Dream or reality doesn’t really matter - it still creates a memory Are you gonna be okay, okay? or do you need me? Are you gonna be okay, baby? Or Do you want space Self soothing disposition when I ring and no listens I guess it’s just all on me Feel like a million misses and the weight of the my decisions, it’s too horrifying If each time I was worried I made a few millon I’d be way the fuck away from here by now I’m caught in romantic long division and I’m spinning spinning out And I still lose myself sometimes But I try to figure out all my demons Even when I least expect it Even when it’s really inconvenient Was it cause my family never tried? Was it cause I kissed a boy that time? Roses for the ones I can keep with me And silence for all the rest Jumping off the edge with lyrics that the next conversation interesting Doesn’t really matter cause all I want be is in authentic understanding

Just Desire 04:03
Kissing our friends through out the night Wash down our nerves with natural wine Men, women, trans, we like what we like it’s not like a crusade; more like a life Platonic feeling time time while someone’s asks me “what’s your sign?” I don’t know what time I was born But I’m a Leo and I know the stories Round and round and round we go Exploding everything we know Love is feeling kinda wired Don’t trip I think it’s just desire Is it too on point? Am I too literal? Let’s go to friends and family Talk about it all Roses in our eyes atop the candle light Another round us, I got a feeling tonight Monogamy from time to time The bay shakes around me at the speed of light Maybe I never got a ahold it Or maybe I won’t ever but that’s how it goes Round and round and round we go Exploding everything we know Love is feeling kinda wired Don’t trip I think it’s just desire Something breaks in a field fifty miles from here Someone leaked some words you’ve been dying to hear Don’t pickup a call, Don’t move an inch, Stay where you are - Drugs won’t work, we’re losing time Salting wounds all night Round and round and round we go Exploding everything we know Love is feeling kinda wired Don’t trip I think it’s just desire

Flush 03:26
Cover me in something Tell me a lie Put pills down my throat til I close my eyes Flush me out into my demise I want something greater than this high strung good bye You fooled me once you fool me twice Let it tie you up Into the night Wires are crossed Tell me a secret Pull knives out my stomach Tell me I’ll make it Fly me out for the weekend No nerves for the time that we thought that we needed You’re foolish once But never again You’re holding on but not leaning in In New York and LA Nobody wants to admit a mistake I’m calling cars from the bar Asleep at the wheel of fate Mm can I feel it out So exhausted of explaining things And maybe I could slip away Up to guernville For just a few days Head trauma is easy to erase But I don’t wanna drink away all the dissonance Always feeling dissed by the bay I’ve got nothing nice to say So I’ll say nothing at all

I find a perfect place to do what I want I overcompensate for people I love I never had something I wouldn't let go of Assembling all my meaning is so sublime Flip it, figure it out, you're older now Falling through the lines, you'll even out Better off without those feelings right now and I wonder when it's "time" It's so hard when all of us sink fast underneath your bitter touch It goes on and on See my face? I'm serious - I'll fail under pressure when I'm feeling rushed It goes on and on Seen enough? Had enough? Is it everything you wanted? You fool around, you'll find out Is it everything you needed? Is it everything you wanted?

about

"driving, atmospheric, emo-tinged indie rock" - Brooklyn Vegan

"a roaring and melancholic release" - Dusty Organ

Having the strength to lose has become a very large part of adulthood. Valuing identity and authenticity above all. Defining what those two things mean to me became my obsession and I left a bit of that journey on the page with this record. For better or worse, the songs on this record are some of my most vulnerable expressions yet on this medium - I'm proud of that.
