E. M. I wrote this album so i love it. Its better than a lot of things and i go back to it from time to time. I think there is a lot of potential in this album. Maybe I will refine it later. Favorite track: Repeat.

Burning Sunset Heart-struck blue Clouds drift through you Lakehouse rental by the lake Future farewells soon to make Another day another drop Water moves and papers stop RPGs at eight o'clock Drawing fields and penguin cock Nothings happened to the plan You're stuck with me forever man Somethings happening with Sam Someone get him to a hospital And those days are the best days of my life now We move apart We move apart They go away Whatever happened to the plan You said that I would never get rid of you You said I'd be stuck with you forever Whatever happened to Sam He said a lot of things I regret The small horses regret you too Skullgirls button mashed You got me through college You got me through college You got me here And I'll survive with any of you anytime And I wrote this song while driving using voice to text Hope I live long enough to see what's next And it's funny to see how far we've come And it's sad to see how far we've gone There is no one here to get fast food with me in the middle of the night Anymore And I'm scared to see what happens to some of you and I'm sorry some of you couldn't handle the truth and I just want all of you to be around tomorrow And it was all of you who taught me how to play guitar And it was all of you who taught me how to break the law And it was all of you who told me that I can stand on my own goodbye ...

People don't change in a solar eclipse And before I admit Its best to forget People don’t change when they final see it Its better to leave Its smarter to flee it And I know that the thought is so wrong I should perish the idea Make myself think about ya And I know that my days are so long I should tear off my skin for it Bury myself in its heart And the sky goes dark I will not leave a mark Mirrors are all about irony Masking complacency Slipping it into me And I'd rip off this mask that ive earned For a moment of clarity A crystal clear rarity And I know that my days are too long I should tie something down Force myself into town I'm eclipsed by the moon I can only assume That my stature as is bad for your eyes And the sky goes dark I will not leave a mark And I know I'm not a monster in a purple disguise But I am just some asshole trying to get by And this self deprecation is a means to exist In a society constructed to be won with a kiss I'm alone. The sun and the moon are locked in a dance Its no chance they revolve Its no chance they return The sun and the moon are locked in a dance Its no chance their paths cross Its no chance we react But people don't change in a solar eclipse It takes more

Gaze 05:57
In the dark cinema I walled off every part Of my heart I was a metaphor Feigning flight Watch as I burn away Atmosphere I know I won't Talk to you Help me to overcome Solitude I do not want to feel Drawn to you I was an un-composed Longitude I am so afraid to Open up my heart to Let another person Have this power over me In the dark cinema I closed off every part Of my heart I was a shooting star Burning up Catch me before I fall Down again Darling I know I'm not Here for you Convince me to Go beyond Solitude I traded happiness For ignorance I was a meteor Burning up I am so afraid to Open up my heart to Let another person Have this power over me Please come and take my hand to Give me room to grow to Understand that my experience Means nothing Maybe I am Numb to this Is it Better to live alone the longer life Better than to stand and fight for brighter light Never thought I'd open up to anyone What will happen when I prematurely say we're done Fear of the body fear of the mind I don’t think I have what it takes to confront mine Gonna have to tear down walls to even try Gonna have to tear down walls to even try I never knew that living this way wasn't true Don’t even knows if a person exists like you Settling for Comfort over happiness Maybe I should strengthen my defense All I ever wanted was a getaway Never really thought I'd half to question living in this way Suddenly confronted another burning surprise I can't even process how to contemplate the lie In the dark cinema I held you close enough To my heart I couldn't tell you what I thought of you I would communicate if I knew I hope you can carry two Maybe I should go beyond Solitude Holding you Along the way ill open up Its Healthier to grow across several months

I bought a bikini last month I bought it just because I got some thigh highs the other day I got em to feel cute But I don't but I don't but I don't And I’ve been thinking a lot about appearances And what matters the most And I've been thinking a lot about appearances And it makes me sick Its wrong its wrong its wrong I've been thinking about changing

Conversation 09:46
Conversation immediate now Fascination to spiraling down An obligation to coalition The people I love are never around This Isolation to produce a sound Perpetuation to sit in a crowd Self-gratification and masturbation An ego inflates to silence the sound The people I love are never around The people I love are never around The people I love are never around And I’ll never change if no one’s around And I’ll never change if no one’s around And I will not change if no one’s around How about I just don’t talk How about I just don’t try How about I have a taste How about you leave this place My eyes are closed I try to sleep it take such effort not to think Her moonlight's comfort beckons me Its brighter in her mystery The night of the moon and the day of the sun The two become one until it is done She is composed of lines Tropics and meridians At the party, never fitting in I think you know what to talk about The stereotype persists but I'm doing this for me A guitar at a party is an excuse to never speak ...

Repeat 09:19
And we fear failure I don’t know just what we’re doing I write a song And I fear failure I don’t know just what I’m doing I write a song To overcome failure I don’t know just what I’m doing I know I’m wrong x3 I write a song To become stronger I wrote a song To overcome my fear of failure I write a song To become stronger I wrote a song To overcome my fear of failure To overcome failure I don’t know just what I’m doing I know I’m wrong I write a song I know I’m wrong I write a song And I fear failure I don’t know just what I’m doing I write a song I write a song I write a song I write a song I write No matter the day No matter the night No matter the time I’m never alright My instincts Are clearly against me My body Is clearly against me No matter the day No matter the night No matter the time I've got to fight My ego My self-confidence This hollow song All inebriated Over populated Will I now be sated I’m unsatisfied I repeat the same mistakes I repeat myself Is repetition necessary Is this trip really necessary

FINE 06:49
She looked like i could not It felt right I did not She looked like she had thought We knew that she did not Laptop light no contact We stand firm we break backs Observe my obsession Transcend my regression And I think I should try something else Why cant i find anything else … And I think I should try something else Why cant i find anything else Left alone the place I know I gotta Find another face I know I have to Fake another date I know I cannot Live online Sheading skin an ear a tail I gotta Grow fur everywhere I want to Be consumed within the maw why did I just Pay for porn You say I'm fucking fine Reactive, reaction You say he’s for fire Reaction, you divide You say I'm figured out Glass eyes abstraction You say we live to die Living subtraction

No matter how hard life gets We will never rise up to the challenge We reliably only do Just enough to get by These people around me Some better some worse All do enough to get by And when I fail in my own way My friends fail in theirs too And i can rest somewhat easy Knowing they’re not perfect too

Going Home 05:43
I'm going home I'm going home I'm going home I'm going home He was lonely And he was empty And he was watching his Years go by The birds went wild And the sky went dark An important moment was passing him by And his friends were gone He thought love was wrong But maybe he was willing to try But he said change is for tomorrow now And I know I'll change tomorrow now And I better change tomorrow now And I'm going And when its time to go Some day I know I will see you again There are days that I feel I can Actually do this

about

This is my first attempt at a full album. I have been writing songs in my free time for the past 5 years or so and I've been playing guitar for the past 10. Solar eclipse has taken me many many months to complete. Its not the perfect album, but i think it is the perfect starting place. I had to completely learn how to record while making this, and that was relatively tedious.

I greatly appreciate your support and I welcome criticism. I want my next album to be a vast improvement so I am excited to see what you guys think of this.

note:yeah i really didnt know how to record properly at this point. Don't listen to this unless you just want to see where i started from lmao
