1.
Deep down I know You’re not the one for me, But those tragic words, They just feel so empty. Every time I see you smile I want another chance. I already regret my choices, But still I advance. Oh, you’re indescribable. You leave me wanting more. But I know how this will end. I’ve been down this road before. Whenever you approach, I feel this exact way. Time after time, Every second of every day. I feel you in every fiber Of my stupid bones. I wish I could find these feelings Some sort of home. Oh, you’re indescribable. You leave me wanting more. But I know how this will end. I’ve been down this road before.
2.
There really is no reason For me to feel this way, So it’s been too hard To think of what I should say. My morale is decreasing. Oh, it’s decreasing and I don’t know why. Sometimes there isn’t an answer, But that answer doesn’t leave me satisfied. Oh, I don’t know what I should say. I don’t know why I feel this way. I thought I was so smart, But I can’t figure this one out. A month ago I was happy, But now my mind is filled with doubt. I don’t want you to worry. I’m sure that this, too, will come to pass, But what if it doesn’t? That’s a question that I’m afraid to ask. There’s nothing left that I can say. I still don’t know why I feel this way.
3.
I know this love is built on desperation. I know its death will be due to frustration. You’re so damn vapid, you’ve got nothing to say, But I’m too lonely to just walk away. You’re not malicious or even that insane, What’s terrible about you is that you’re just so plain. You’ve got no personality; you follow all the trends. If I was feeling better, would we even be friends? Normally I wouldn’t say a word to you, And if I said I liked you, then it wouldn’t be true. Still, I can’t find the strength to break us both apart, Because I can’t take another fracture to my heart.
4.
Won’t you Keep me in mind When we part ways And you leave me behind? I think about you all the time, Do you ever think of me? To me, you’ll be a beacon. Am I even a memory? Your smile’s burned into my heart, Your laughter fills my dreams at night. I don’t even want to lose you, But I’m afraid that I might. I’ve never felt this way before About anyone. Oh, won’t you please reach out to me Before the day is done?
5.
Late afternoon turns into night. I stare at the rays of the fading light. I thought that things would have changed after a year, But the same demons still linger here. The cheerful facade of a sunny day Only highlights my feeling of dismay. The weight on my shoulders grows heavier still As I continue to climb the hill. See laughing faces, see smiling friends, And I’m reminded of my plight again. I know that this is a time of change, But I’ve felt the same since early May. There’s a light at the end, I know, But I still don’t know where to go. How did I end up so alone? Why did I end up so alone?

about

This EP was recorded during the summer of 2021. Unlike "summer," which took several months to write, these songs just flowed out in a matter of weeks. Lyrically, they focus more on desire and loss, as well as concern for the future. Overall, these songs are some of my favorite that I have written, and I hope that they resonate with you.
