dust of a new daylight moves ashes break like mountains do i’m nothing in the shadow of your love we talked about a mess of gold new ideas of growing old and beauty once was not the stars above tie a rope around my feet i don’t believe in meant to be i only ever meant to make you smile leave me lying in the lake i pray the lord my soul to take i don’t believe in very much at all the last night was a cold collapse the sky sung like a falling axe and at the end i never said a word and fire roared and smoke did speak “there’s nothing here for you to keep” and we drove off fast as though to say we could tie a rope around my feet i don’t believe in meant to be i only ever meant to stay a while leave me on this burning peak i pray the lord my soul to keep i don’t believe in very much at all in the clearing i heard you say it “this light is something i don’t know” what a strange thing i tried to say it “this album’s good but the last one was better” i believe in you at least i try to it’s easy if i never look down tie a rope around my feet i’m afraid but i have to be i only mean to wait for a little while i don’t need the sky to love i don’t believe in very much beauty to me is not in the stars above

walking back home thinking bout the way all of those cats ran away and even with no home they still seem to mew i love you i love you i love you and it's so cold out here maybe not for you maybe it's just me i'll be coming home soon soon i'll be home it's just peace of mind it's just pieces of me it's just peace of mind all my love it doesn't work and there's blood dripping off the sidewalk as the rain picks up and they're floating by past to old pawn shops and the shelters and high rises they say you are my blood you are my love i could live in your brain i'd rather just live and i'll be coming home soon soon i'll be home it's just peace of mind it's just pieces of me it's just peace of mind all my love all my love it didn't work it doesn't work

you walked out in the city with your own blood right behind you it's been killing you for months or years or maybe even since you were born you search the streets like a hospital looking for your family thinking 'if it just stays like this' i don't like this i don't think i ever could you said we got so fucking close i'm not sure if your thoughts end where mine begin and if that feeling lasts forever i think i would jump off of a bridge too and when you take my breath i hope i take yours too i don't breathe without you i know when i take your hand i hope you take mine too i'm nothing like you i know i can see you you are real i recognize you you beat the shit out of your brain for even thinking they're to blame but somewhere in you i think you know you're right those useless fucking assholes that just brush you off like dust and sent you off into the world with nothing really nothing at all and this heavy clinging concrete heat has got you stumbling for a breath and you notice everyone that's staring like they've got something for you or like they know something you don't or like they wanna be with you and then that's when i see you i'll take you in share something i'm nothing like you i know i'll take you in be a friend you could take my life i know i can see you you are real please don't hurt me

we were in your room the blue of the morning you were crying into my chest i'd never felt this this beautiful place which is a place where i don't belong still you grace the corners of my room but only in dreams every night the back of my mind is cold dark stone with big bright hands reaching down from bright water gold and gleaming and i'm always out of reach of this warm grasping of perfect brightness i'm forever coming home you were brushing my hair and water was running currents flow in peculiar ways down into dreams where i picture you elsewhere always just beyond a shore with a rope tied to my heart facing away and i scream and i pull hard and nothing will move and nothing will change so i try to pull the entire earth in a heap of metal and trees and dirt to your always open arms i'm still trying i'm forever waiting and you are forever coming home why am i crying i got what i wanted i'm finally all why am i crying i got what i wanted i'm finally all all that i want is to tear you out but you will always be why am i crying i got what i wanted i'm finally all alone

about

i worked on and sat with this music for a long time and the songs never had a home anywhere, until Evan asked if i wanted to do a split and i realized i had to finish these songs, get them out of me and make sure the beholding story was caught up with where i am now in my life. the last few years have been intense and i think this is a way to try and put those feelings out there and be somewhere else for a change. so this is a bit of a musical catching-up and so these songs on my side of the album go from oldest to newest recordings. they're about learning to use tape and my 4track for recording and my cats that went missing and people that jump off of bridges and the feeling of living on a Wednesday night.. i'll never stop dwelling and wallowing in thoughts and memories probably but now i can move on to more recent ones at least, on to stranger and distant shimmery different work now.

i'm also so happy these are shared on an album with my dear friend Evan, whose creativity is endlessly inspiring. so please enjoy these mostly unrelated tunes from myself and Evan's beautiful beautiful tunes and thank you so much for listening, it means everything <3
