Oh is this make believe? Is this all a dream? Is this real life moving unbelievably slow against a grain that I haven't yet seen? I think I could make the best out of this mess but the loss hasn't been sewn in the seams, and unless you have a map of the inside we all have to pack our things and leave. We all wonder sometimes...but if this is the future then I'm glad I made it out alive.

Hold my head down under water until the airflow has stopped and you can watch me disappear until I will float back to the top. It feels like theres a chance now but my emotions are morose. you can't talk to me in person you keep contact with my ghost. You can call me pessimistic. You can call me what you will. Keep the flowers in the casket and just make sure the pool is filled. throw another fit of solitude and keep my glasses filled. I'm your leader. I'm your student. Im the one you want to kill. There's a place I call my home now and it feels much better here where emotions can't control you and I no longer live by fear. I can be the one to haunt you as I'm living in the air. you can't stop me. You can't have me. you can't tell me that you care. As it's all I have. As it's all I need.

When you were young you'd look out of the window late at night, and all the stars would talk back to you saying you were invincible. Now when you look at at the stars you fight for your existence wishing you were young as you were so long ago...as if you were. So long. The fear has left you trembling. You've been shaking since you got here. Oh my God! Whats wrong? Is everything okay? Did someone you know get injured?...Or did you weigh yourself again? I'm sorry it ever happened...Whatever it was. Your dreams have vanished and now it seems you've got nowhere to go but backwards. Your home has been all left to dust...It's not your fault but if there's anything to do about it...now's the time my friend. It happened in the blink of an eye. Who'd have known this catastrophic demonstration would hit you right at home. What'd you say to them to get lost in the fire?

about

A collection of layered yet lo-fidelity songs I wrote. With the intention of a full length album, I just had to stop it at an extended play due to content.
