1.	Candle-Shaving Bastard 03:43	lyrics	buy track
I’ve been told what I deserve I don’t know what is right I don’t know what to do All I have are my thoughts Sitting alone on Christmas Eve Half drunk feeling lost In a place I can’t call my own home No more Soul sucking \| forces \| surround me \|completely
2.	Memories 03:22	lyrics	buy track
Sleep the afternoon away in a target lot Pick my watermelon case for me, I will agree Find a book store in every city Get a hot chocy with me; it’s on me Warm yellow-orange lighting in the sunshine filled room Always was the ideal place to be for me, you see My body is running on auto pilot I don’t know how to stop it, or even control it Are these memories I hold so fondly? Are they memories For just me?
3.	Internally, in Kansas 03:27	lyrics	buy track
No words for 20 miles The air feels quiet Corn to my right An asshole revs past from the left How do I make it known We all mean the best to each other If you get hurt then I’m sorry We can’t let it cling to us I’ve started feeling lost Passing through one state to the next Doesn’t feel any closer to home I’m torn Are things how I perceive? Or do my insecurities plague me? I want to confide I don’t know how, not here All I know Is that the best comfort Is you letting me lay my head
4.	June 5th // July 5th 03:09	lyrics	buy track
It breaks me up To see you broken up Wish I could always be Comforting Having two mouths is a dangerous way To live And be friends If only I Could be stronger for you I’m a coward And I know it, too No one deserves To be lied to Like the way You have been used And so the extreme fatigue hit while I was driving home / and the reflections came of why this may be from one night before When your skin collided with mine and we embraced in a way that I have never felt before, / it felt special And then the next day when I could feel the burden of your legs onto mine, / and that night when our hands were intertwined After the fatigue fades we confess to one another, / but the miles are absolutely killing me Sitting in a break room Finger numb with pain Not gonna die here But maybe something worse My veins are exposed I knew when I was told Not bleeding through Wish I was here with you
5.	Angel on the Mantel 03:57	lyrics	buy track
The only time I don’t smoke Is when I’m with you When I’m alone, I feel alone It’s the only way I cope With the waves of loneliness Friends help me forget, I love them But sometimes it feels like no one gives a shit And sometimes it feels like I just have no one
6.	Drone I 05:06		buy track
7.	Floral 03:47	lyrics	buy track
Have I run out of things to say? Or has life just not happened yet? The fear of staying this way Reinforced by my high school dead end job Nothing’s changed. Have I? Do I identify with all these people? Get me out of the middle of the road Unless I stay there A sad, sad, existence
8.	Elvis, the Boy 03:18	lyrics	buy track
Lately, uncertainty \| has been my method of thinking Today’s the last day \| of my first real job To be honest, who knows where I go from here? Everything’s changing, I just want to feel the same At least Elvis always has my back Soft tufts of white fur, glancing with glassy green eyes Spending the day in my bed Home, heart, security all change in the blink of an eye
9.	Observations 02:38		buy track
10.	Harvard University Science Center Fountain 02:48	lyrics	buy track
Leap from rock to rock Just stare into the mist Let it take you Sitting in the yard One pass, I offer again I’m glad I chose (here) As we walk and hop a lot Tiny tastes that mean a lot Then stop and think you give a lot I think of people a lot
11.	When is Whenever? 05:02	lyrics	buy track
I feel pathetic. So desperate / that I’ll reach at the mere sight of anything. / I’m motionless. Everything has faded. / There’s only 1 thing on my mind. I can’t stand it. When is “whenever”? Can it be right now? / When is “whenever”? I wish it was right now Wish I could put you at ease, help you breathe. / This is the longest night of my life. I’d sacrifice / anything I have to help. / When will I get the courage?
12.	Finale 03:18	lyrics	buy track
I’m burnt out I’ll tell you that I’m hanging in there And I am, at least that’s what I tell myself Ever since I made that drive for the last time I’m wearing thin But for once I’m not scared of the future I used to write When you would make me feel special But now I’m Writing songs about improvement I am getting better
