It's over now, it's over now, it's over now. Don't care 'bout what you're tellin' me, oh. (repeated) I'm telling you to leave, I'm telling you to go, you ask me why, I just say no, I'm telling you to leave I'm telling you to go. (Don't care 'bout what you're tellin' me oh.)

Division (Eyes) 02:30
lyrics
buy track
I've got a new suspicion, you've got some indecision. Why lie to me, if you won't look at me? Should I define division? Well, not if you won't listen. Why try to speak if you won't hear me? I see. You won't unless you look into my- Your words cut with precision, though you're not there to speak them. Why write it down? You can't hand that to me. So you've got time for them, you'll walk out on a whim. It's not my fault, you can't pass blame to me. I see. You won't unless you look into my- Look into my. Look into my eyes. You won't unless you look into my eyes. Look at me, just look into my eyes. I see. You won't unless you look into my eyes. Look into my, look into my eyes. You won't unless you look into my eyes.

Laminate 02:21
lyrics
buy track
Let's laminate these photographs and hope our memories last as long. Unearth them for our epitaphs, capture a snapshot in a song. Remember when we were young, and nothing could harm us? Oblivious to our own existence, boo-boos and band-aids unite us. Different paths, tied together. Sharing stories, laughing ourselves sore. You're never too much, trust me, there's always room for more. Let's laminate these photographs and hope our memories last as long. Unearth them for our epitaphs, capture a snapshot in a song. So long. (x4)

In the Morning 02:32
lyrics
buy track
All those monsters that chase and harm you, they are dormant if the sun surrounds you. I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there in the morning. (x2) Mice may squeak at night, but listen how the birds sing for you. Though it might take all night, I'll be there right beside you. I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there in the morning. (x2) And if my fear should make it hard to escape the covers, my hand, oh, you'll take it and face the day like any other. You'll be there, you'll be there, we'll make it to the morning. (x2)

\\\ (Flush) 02:08
lyrics
buy track
I could give you all my time, I could give you all my love. I could give you all that's mine, but would it ever be enough? Feels like I've known you all my life. Through cuts and bullets, all the strife. I could give you all my time, I could give you all my love. I could give you all that's mine, but would it ever be enough? When we are blinded, I'll stay near. I'm right next to you, nothing to fear. I could give you all my time, I could give you all my love. I could give you all that's mine, but would it ever be enough?

You 02:44
lyrics
buy track
I just want to see you, I'm waking up early, I've never been a morning person before. It's funny, cuz we stayed up all night telling stories and I just wanna hear your voice again. Oo oo oo oo oo, I think I'm fallin' for you oo oo oo oo, and everything that you do oo oo oo oo, I think I'm fallin' for you. I know I'm just being bashful, cuz you're a handful, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Every time I touch you, I end up shining from the glitter that you wear on your face. Oo oo oo oo oo, I think I'm fallin' for you oo oo oo oo, and everything that you do oo oo oo oo, I think I'm fallin' for you. When I see you smile at me I think that I could touch the sky. When you hold hands with me, I feel so happy I could die. Don't need t-shirts or poetry to see our lovely chemistry. You can see it in our eyes, in any wink from either side. We started here, what a lovely year. Hand in hand, nothing to fear. Oo oo oo oo oo, I think I'm fallin' for you oo oo oo oo, and everything that you do oo oo oo oo, I think I'm fallin' for you. Oo oo oo oo oo, I love you oo oo oo oo, you know that I do oo oo oo oo, I love you.

Oo, oo, oo. I lost my wisdom teeth, they got taken from me. I lost my wisdom teeth, but I don't feel any less wise. I lost my wisdom teeth, they got taken from me. I lost my wisdom teeth, maybe I was never wise. Oo, oo, oo.

Hello My Friend 03:17
lyrics
buy track
Hello my friend, when will I see you again? It's been a month or two, or has it felt even longer to you? Hello my friend, are you happy again? Do you feel safe and sound in this new home you've found, or is it all pretend? Hello my friend, I didn't want this to end. What could I say to you, you know and we all knew this might be the end. Hello my friend, the North welcomes you again. And through the ice and snow, it's this I hope you know: there's nothing we can't mend. Hello my friend, when will I see you again? It's been a month or two, or has it felt even longer to you?

Switchbeat (Anthem) 02:56
lyrics

Get, get, get better, I've got to get, get better. (x2) I stay up all night, no L.A. plane rides. I am a one man band, and my friends are my biggest fans. (x2) How would you like to be me? Fanbase no bigger than three. How would you like to be me? 3, 2, 1 fans and I'm number 3. Get, get, get better, I've got to get, get better. (x2) I write on my floor, I write in my bed. I wear my pencils down to nubs to get these songs out of my head. (x2) How would you like to be me? Knee-deep in creativity. How would you like to be me? I see you but what do you see? Get, get, get better, I've got to get, get better. (x2) It's gonna be a long ride to find the one inside. Tap away on my phone, crowded bus but I feel alone. (x2) How would you like to be me? Four albums out and I'm happy. How would you like to be me? Looking ahead for opportunity. Get, get, get better, I've got to get, get better. (x2) Get, get, get better, I, I'm get, getting better. (x2)

Infinity 8 03:06
lyrics
buy track
There's a dying light at a funeral, oh. Graveyard is empty, vases are full. I find myself in abandoned places, find myself in abandoned spaces, oh, oh oh. Don't want to belong, however, it feels like it's been forever, oh, oh oh. 8, infinity, 8, infinity, oh, oh oh. Tell me what it is you know, tell me what it is you know. I try to collect my breath, but I can't see. How can I cope if my voice has left me? I find myself in abandoned places, find myself in abandoned spaces, oh, oh oh. Don't want to belong, however, it feels like it's been forever, oh, oh oh. 8, infinity, 8, infinity, oh, oh oh. Tell me what it is you know, tell me what it is you know. 8, infinity, 8, infinity. Infinity. (repeated)

Call Me 03:06
lyrics
buy track
Call me, no matter where you are. Call me, no matter near or far. Call me, and I promise I won't be angry, if you call me. I know that life is hard sometimes, you get crossed out between the lines. Wanna stand out strong and bold, italicize just like you're told. Your grasp on words makes me shiver. More than a muse, you're a life-giver. To think someone could steal that from you, tell me please, what can I do? Call me, no matter where you are. Call me, don't matter near or far. Call me, and I promise I won't be angry, if you call me. You and I share similar views. Text you daily, tell me the news. Count all our notes, piles and piles. Between you and me? A thousand miles. You send me the good news and the bad. Tell me about the day you've had. You say I help you out, bit by bit, but three flowers don't seem to cut it. Call me, no matter where you are. Call me, no matter near or far. Call me, and I promise I won't be angry, if you call me. Ooo. Call me, no matter where you are. Call me, no matter near or far. Call me, and I promise I won't be angry, if you call me. Call me, call me. If you - new message.

It's Gonna Be Okay 04:13
lyrics
buy track
Hold up. Slow down. 1 2 3 and deep breaths now. It's gonna be okay. It might not seem that way, but. No matter what you say, it's gonna be okay. I know you've been through so much more than you would tell to me. You've climbed the mountains, seen the valleys but that's you're story. And I'm not asking, I'm not saying you should follow me. But I've seen your strength and it is clear to me that you will be. Hold up. Slow down. 1 2 3 and deep breaths now. It's gonna be okay. It might not seem that way, but. No matter what you say, it's gonna be okay. I know that time has passed, you've had your fun, and here we are. Seems like it never lasts, back at square one, hope seems so far. But look around you, see the people on your left and right. Life is unfair my friend, but this is not a one man fight. Hold up. Slow down. 1 2 3 and deep breaths now. It's gonna be okay. It might not seem that way, but. No matter what you say, it's gonna be okay. La da da da da, da doo up ba. (x3) It's gonna be okay. La da da da da da doo up ba. (x3) It's gonna be okay. Hold up. Slow down. 1 2 3 and deep breaths now. It's gonna be okay. It might not seem that way, but. No matter what you say, it's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay. (repeated)

about

This is an album I've been working on since around late September. I wanted to focus on writing songs that were truly mine - not just for a character. These are all based on experiences I've had over the wild ride that was 2016 and the wild start of 2017 (you can click on each of the songs to find out more, if you're curious). I hope you enjoy them listening to them as much as I enjoyed making them!
