Torpedo 02:30
lyrics
buy track
I kind of torpedo Every romantic relationship that I’m in Sort of ruin Every losing streak I’ve tried to out win And I’m sorry For all the arguments I started out of context Do you miss talking? Not just about me but about all our regrets I made you believe I didn’t care But I guess life just can’t be fair Now I’d carve out my eyes Gotta think of another line I wish I were gone by now And if the blood is still there can please wash it down

Enjoy Japan 03:37
lyrics

Enjoy japan Hopefully nobody there is the way that I am Get happy Maybe the only thing you needed to move passed was me I hate living here quietly Wanting to tell you I’m sorry Wanting to get back to okay Wanting to make something stay Cause no one ever stays for me It’s cause I’m a goddamn catastrophe Manic depressive sap unapologetically sorry I miss you missing me Make friends You’ve more than enough kindness to lend I know Don’t always let your mind tell you where to go Cause I hate living here quietly Wanting to tell you I’m sorry Wanting to get back to okay Wanting to make something stay Cause no one ever stays for me It’s cause I’m a goddamn catastrophe Manic depressive sap unapologetically sorry I miss you missing me I’ll drive my car right off a fucking cliff Just to try get some things fixed And I’d slice my hands off one by one If it meant I’d finally get something done

Never Knew You Were So Basic 03:34

I’m not gonna do it I’m not gonna do it Switch our skins and see if you can get through it I’m done thinking I’m done thinking Switch our skins and tell me when you stop drinking I didn’t know you’d turn out so basic Didn’t used to be but now I can trace it Not gonna say it Not gonna fucking say it But things that happened later are the way you would’ve played it Everything is matted Everything’s fantastic Even when the world seems so shallow and plastic And I haven’t killed myself just yet Found something else that will keep me from the debt that you pay I didn’t know you’d turn out so basic Didn’t used to be but now I can trace it Take school and shove it up there Take jaded tattoos acting unaware I’m staying punk and I’ll always be So why can’t you find a place to dream I didn’t know you’d turn out so basic Didn’t used to be but now I can trace it Didn’t know you like such boring shit Don’t care cause you don’t care about me one bit

VW Lets Me Down And So Do People 02:46
lyrics

I’ll just abandon it! Just tell me where and fucking when I’ll walk around like I know who I am Doesn’t really matter cause I don’t really know at all I’m doing just fine Entrapped in this time No talent, no meaning, no thought, no fucking friends I fucking cut it! Just tell me where and how I’ll walk around like I care It won’t work because I don’t care at all I’m doing just fine Trapped in this time No talent, no meaning, no thought, no fucking friends And all the pop songs make me think I’m dying Is this the best we can do with blatantly lying Don’t fucking lose it! Just tell me when and where and I’ll be there

New Mexico Vs Hell Hole 03:42
lyrics
buy track
So I didn’t think this chapter would begin this way at all Least I haven’t kicked the bucket Still got some stories to recall I don’t wanna be homeless or never leave the house I’ve gotta find a medium I’ve gotta find a way out I guess Austin was a pipe dream And Seattle just costs too much But Omaha’s still calling me Ain’t that just my fucking luck Don’t wanna spend my life faking a way To make money and leave the house I’ve gotta find a medium I’ve gotta find a way out Now if the sun is gonna come back up Can we please just make it now Sometimes you don’t think I’ll find a way out And when all the money fully dries up And I’m washed up more than it Do you think you’ll ever really give a shit Working for the weekend Is an 80’s trope that’s lied I wish the weekend weren’t happening Cause retail makes me wanna die Higher education is fun As a hobby, I suppose But I don’t have 50k to spare Even if I did, I still wouldn’t superimpose Now if the sun is gonna come back up Can we please just make it now Sometimes you don’t think I’ll find a way out And when all the money fully dries up And I’m washed up more than it Do you think you’ll ever really give a shit I miss New Mexico I miss the ocean Get me out of this hell hole

Never Again 03:28
lyrics
buy track
I’ve got all these people I no longer talk to And I’m so glad one of them isn’t you But I’m sorry I left that year, cut my hair and dropped everything I cared about most I used to have an escape group to cope with But that ended when we got too drained Some things just seem cyclical, on repeat and genuinely scaring the shit out of me You scare the shit out of me Sincerely frighten me Because I’m happy And I never want to not be again

Saves Ring Pop 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Never did I think anyone like me Would get through to someone like you Vivacious, positive, and full of life Attracted to me, I can’t believe it’s not spite You removed me from my comfort zone Which is uncomfortable, and always Give me love which feels better than home You’re my home, we’re not alone And finally I’m getting something right Content and free, we haven’t wasted time Never did I think I’d make it this far Specially when I puked out of your car And I’m sorry I’m mess but you’ve made me not You’re conveniently every single thing that I want And finally I’m getting something right Content and free we haven’t wasted time Take my saves the day ring pop And wait a little longer Take my dying heart And make it stronger

We’ll All Be Okay 03:56
lyrics
buy track
The shape of your face Is clouded in my dreams And the mistakes I’ve made Won’t be the new me I’ve found a life and I’ve found a purpose So the fighting ever hardly seems worth it Just please believe when I say That things are changing but we’ll all be okay We’ll all be okay You sat next to me slightly unwanted But something that day never departed You don’t smoke but you stayed for some reason And I’m glad you did cause now you’re my reason that We’ll all be okay and when the spring came I couldn’t look foreword Only back to you and I When morning hit in that hotel room It was finally back to you and I We’ll all be okay And I’ll be here for you And we’ll be okay I always love you We’ll all be okay

about

This is an album about a long term relationship turning sour, and about realizing what I needed to do to not be that person anymore. It’s also about reconnecting with someone I have loved for a long time, and about how much healthier and happier I am having changed, moved on, and reconnected with such an incredible person. It’s essentially a two parter, with the former being a bit angsty, and the latter more self-realized and hopeful. This will hopefully resonate with anyone who is constantly trying their best to progress in their life - in regards to relationships, habits, mental illness, etc. we’re all just trying to get better.

Thank you so much to Lexi, and to my friends. Love all of you (though you might be few, you’re more than I need and deserve).

Also I wrote, played, recorded, produced, and mastered everything.
