Marzipan 02:52
please just ignore me i'm just a little dizzy now i'm tired of running scuffing my feet around i hope i'm fine i hope i'm just tired i will skip down i wish i was wired differently its weird (repeat) skip down the path and dodge one more class and you're okay tipping shit over never pull up and drifting away it's all the same it's all the same it's the same i'm done changing i'm just staying the same it's weird (repeat) cigarette couches girls wearing blouses everyday another slips out from crips cold old pay days it's all the same it's all the same it's the same here or on mars is all just the same

all these folks where will they go it's hard to tell loaded on snow some tapped out so many years ago maybe they are fine who knows? and my pals are arguing bout bars and i still try to see the stars but its hard to see the stars when you live so close to the thing that glows the most water is so fricken strange colors are very strange maybe everything is just really strange but it's ok and my pillow drips out eyeballs and my tongue begins to crack but it's hard to taste a thing when you live so far out on the brink

Ontario 02:38
we had a grand time the last time we drove to no clue they're so inclined to take from the vine impromptu but that one makes me feel like a grounded rooted tree like i'm older but still so green anime design one of a kind i'm never colder i stand on this place of hickory island beholder it's all blah blah til you pick me up and we draw cartoons with the car vulture's claw, we drove around and we saw our futures but that one makes me feel like a grounded rooted tree like i'm older but still so green anime design one of a kind i'm never colder it's warm when we go to sleep shoulder to shoulder

Violets 03:17
skipping to the stream older brothers leap ahead all in a sunny dream building forts beneath our beds to the violets you will go past the rock, the pine, the maple this little town is all we know we will know this when we're able unsure and unstable still so young but catching on pencils and pipes rest on the table 2am walks on neighbor's lawns first dates and cuddle puddles munching pretzels pass the time feeling stressed and feeling muddled open windows floating chimes like shadowmere to prisoner the two of us explore the earth good speaker, lovely listener we know how much our time is worth we'd rather frolic and fall name our ducks and pet the dogs than not frolic at all at all (repeat many times)
5.
i'm alone with my emotions simply sitting here it's a saturday night, turn off the lights, I'm holding back the tears and you stroll right up to me and don't need to say a word creeping over my shoulder, trying to blend in but your buzzing doesn't make me smile, i have enough friends yet your peaceful presence makes me feel still as a rock petrified in a bedroom box, nowhere left to run your little army corners me and suddenly i am stunned i yank in another breath, maybe you're not so bad you used to creep me out with your spindly six legs and clout now i'm starting to see stink bugs are more like me
6.
you have a crooked grin and you won't always let me in your shaggy disposition is everything i'm missing right now bring your nose close to mine lie next to me where everything's fine you appreciate how i'm a little lost girl and how my brain swims in a swirl you get how much i love my dog and mention him when i'm stuck in this fucking fog bring your nose close to mine lie in bed where everything's fine you'll call me a hippie and i'll still be dippy for you curl your arms around me, we'll sleep and watch our sheep sleep and watch our sheep
7.
old dusty mountain tops old pipe resin is rotten clouds enshrouding on my minds hills i feel like the atmosphere cluttered with carbon and nowhere left to steer good intentions growing ill look at what you've done look at what you haven't done look at the earth, heavy clouds, too much birth what are you gonna do, when there's no wood left, no wood left to knock on my brain is like an ecosystem bubbling at its core it's fun to talk and fun to sleep but not when you're bored stripped from the toasted interior of a building and thrown all the way to space why do I feel my heart beat when I stay inside why do I flood my pores with tears all of the time

about

This is a little jumble of tons of emotions, dealing with anxiety, nostalgia, friendship and my love for the natural world. After working on the album for months, I am so so happy to get it out there and finally have it finished.

Special thanks to Owen Curtin at Colonial Sound for making this happen, all of my absolutely lovely friends, my family, WIQH and the entire Concord DIY scene. Thank you all for supporting me and being incredible.
