Fall Valentine 05:41
lyrics

Never thought I would fall Valentine But I gave it my all At the time But I keep changing Rearranging And carving holes in my heart I thought I could solve Everything But that's just not my thing Do I keep on trying Purifying While slipping back to the start Put a little in, get a little out Put a little in, get a little out Ba da da This is what I get, this is what I got This is what I get, this is what I got Ba da da Valentine People grow on trees Whisper my name Bring back spring Every little thing, every little thought Every little thing, every little thought (Get away from me) this is what I get, this is what I got this is what I get, this is what I got (Nothing here to see) And this'll never end, this'll never stop And this'll never end, this'll never stop (I am the same) Every little thing every little thought Every little thing every little thought (As any other me) Put a little in, get a little out Put a little in, get a little out Ba da da This is what I get, this is what I got This is what I get, this is what I got Ba da da Nothing left to scream, nothing left to shout Nothing left to scream, nothing left to shout Ba da da Every little thing, every little doubt Every little thing, every little doubt Ba da da I thought that I knew myself But I think that was someone else I'm just disengaging Stimulating Drowning in a sea of myself But I put a little in, get a little out We put a little in, help each other out Put a little in And this'll never end till I work it out You do a little spin Shake away the doubt Do a little spin Put a little in, get a little out Put a little in, get a little out Ba da da This is what I get, this is what I got This is what I get, this is what I got Ba da da Put a little in, get a little out Put a little in, get a little out Ba da da This is what I get, this is what I got This is what I get, this is what I got Ba da da

Here with You 06:04

Right here with you What will we do What will we do Melting away You turn the night Into day What will we do Tomorrow Do you really understand What I am Part of a… part of a… part of a… part of a broken-down machine Do you have the parts I need If the movie gets too scary Will you tell me To close my eyes …did you hear that Tomorrow Do you really understand Tomorrow Tomorrow Part of a… part of a… part of a… part of a… broken-down machine Here here broken down broken broken down machine Tomorrow You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you Tomorrow Right here with you Let's let them believe You’re in control So keep it together Put on a smile It's been so long It's been a while No one ever needs to know That you are fading fast Open wide And let me in What will I do tomorrow No one really understands What I am If I never get better Will you have me go back to bed?

Don't know what you want I don't know what to say I don't know what you want I've been here every day There's nothing in your eyes And nothing left to say If it's all the same to you What I do I should just dissolve And slowly melt away Do you know how to advance I'm stuck here everyday Imposter in the skin So nothing left to say Come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on, come on, Get out of there Come on, come on, come on, come on, Get out of there Don’t know what you need You better find it quick I am doubling the skin And crawling into it Come on, come on, come on, come on, Get out of there! Come on, come on, come on, come on, Get out of there! I have got something to say Lie to me Make my day Make my Make me cum There is something out there still There is something out there for me Come and hold me near Take a moment to remember how Your lover feels Something's waiting out here for me Doppelganger, you can't keep it from me There is something out there still There is something out there for me Won't you hold me dear Take a moment to remember How your lover feels Something’s waiting out here for me Doppelganger, you can't keep it from me

Shoe more goo than shoe Do what you gotta do Cannot follow through Do what you gotta do Cut me up make me new Do what you gotta do Held together with.... Mirror a voyeur Like, oh it’s a ghost Concrete esophagus Filling the host Bodied and swallowing Taking the most Chopping injecting and Hold me together with…. Dripping and guzzling Out from the bone Frenzied and stuttering I've always known Body topography Is this an autopsy I won’t condone all this Mutilation and reconfiguration Swallow my pieces for Perfect duplication Forget to swallow for Disassociation Taking it out of me Taking it out Dying to make this the time of our lives None of that matters in this configuration Waterfalls tumbling out of my eyes Goo me together Goo me back up Oohh Shoe more goo than shoe What’s it mean to you Nothing you see is true Turn me into goo Squeezing it out of you What was one is two Am I enough for you? I won’t condone all this Stimulation and rehabilitation Fuck reality Transient the nation Nothing can help with this Disassociation Taking it out of me Taking it all Dying to make this the time of our lives None of that matters in this configuration Waterfalls tumbling out of my eyes Goo me together Goo me back up What did they do to you I knew you better You used to be so clean Is this what’s left of you All pieced together Are all reflections so mean Mutilation and transubstantiation Change my body into Something less than it was Shoe more goo than shoe Nothing more we can do Break me down, make me new You never listened to me I tried to tell you to stop I watched you throw it away I watched you carve out your heart (Shoe more goo than shoe) And yeah you’re moving along (Make me something new) How much time have you got? (Shoe more goo than shoe) You could have been anything

Consume 05:20

I figured you out I've been wasting my breath on you Did you hear that And what are you trying to say You think you know what you want You think you know what to do Let's assume that Anything that you can say I can prove is untrue And what are you trying to do You keep on running away You keep on playing the fool Everyday Well anything that you can do I can slowly undo Will I consume the bone Will I consume Until my skin is gone I will consume And what are you trying to say You think you know what you want You think you know what to do Let's assume that Anything that you can say I can prove is untrue And what are you trying to do You keep on running your mouth You keep on playing the fool Everyday Well what did you think the people around you would do Will I consume the bone Will I consume Until my skin is gone I will consume Did you hear that

Light up the Stage 04:43
lyrics

Hello, hello, hello, hello Memories of sand You should know Things are different from how you planned And the ocean swallows everything Trust your head, trust your gut trust your body, trust your Inability to ever like a party. And the world is much smaller than you think Light up the stage and Forget your smile Day by day But it's been a while Never really choosing what to do And you crawl out of bed and you Put on your shoes and you Run out the door There is so much to do Remember when you used to have the time Come on, come on, come on, keep Shoveling the coal Can't you see I don't need you to lose control Cause the ocean breaks down everything Count your hair, count your blessings Count your cash, countin’ All the miles left until your out of gas, counting All the things you know you'll never need Well Light up the stage and Forfeit your smile Day by day And it’ll be a while Never really feeling anything And you crawl out of bed and your Vision is blurred and you Talk really loud Goddamn right, I'll be heard Remember when you used to try your best Oh, no It's been a while Hasn't it been a while? Oh, well It's been a while And it's time to start again Hello, hello, hello, hello Memories of sand Don't you know You are different from where you stand You don't have to explain anything Fighting hard, fighting back Fighting dirty, fight your Inability to make it through your 30s with the Ocean always lapping at your feet Light up the stage and Forget your smile day by day But it's been a while Never really choosin’ what to do And you crawl out of bed and you Put on your shoes and you Run out the door There is so much to do. Remember when you used to have the time. Just spectating the show I’m supposed to sing

about

Every million of me... There is only one you...

This album was written from October 2020 to January 2022. These songs were composed during a period of extreme uncertainty about the future in regards to both graduate school and a global pandemic. As a side note, both of those topics are much more stable currently and the future has once again became an exciting prospect.

Music is primarily a hobby for me, but the extreme amount of effort required for one person to create something like this can not be understated. If you enjoy listening and are able to purchase this album, I will eternally appreciate it.

This album marks my leap to using professional recording software. I also want to give a shout out to Vince Welch, of the band Bent Knee, who has been giving me lessons about audio mixing and general advice for the majority of my time working on this album. Its been extremely helpful all around.

Now available on Spotify and most streaming services!

And finally, I would LOVE to have merch for this album at some point. Ill give everyone an update if that ever happens.
