Glass 03:35
All these false stalls I can see it all now The fragile first steps The final breath The pauses between words Mark my self worth And all I can see Is warm breath on glass Where do I start? It's the end of the world at life's beginning And it feels like someday I might soon stop breathing If only my thoughts could give me a break There are no words left to pause between There are no words left to pause between And it was at this bench where we laid our heads And waited for the sun to set Golden light hits our sparkling eyes As darkness engulfs the skies

I wipe the dew from my lips It tastes of evergreen and poison ivy What can I tell you that you don't already know About the anxious heart inside me? Attempting to stop the clock For just a second more Holding my breath in hope No idea what I'm waiting for Peaches eaten in that greyscale room Juice drips down my throat She asks where I am now, I smile slowly She already knows I say we leave legacies with every footprint There are places I won't set foot in It never snows in winter anymore I want to feel the flakes melt on my skin I want to feel real I want to feel whole I want to find the Air that you stole Breathe the ash and the embers Where there once was coal I want to exhale all the smoke I want to feel some kind of hope I want to see the mountains stretch Before me again Legacies with every footprint There are places I won't set foot in

Petals 03:08
Time flies Like the light in your eyes I'm too tired To sleep tonight There's a dark magic Held by beaches at night Soft sound in silence Under the waxing grey light Is this all we could ever have wanted? Some days it sure feels like that Stitches forged from petals Line the inside of my gut Freeze me unconscious Until the world stops spinning Show me where the moon is I will watch it fade to dust Fold me up, keep me cold Let this time never pass A point on a map Beautiful life flourishes past Is this all we could ever have wanted? Some days it sure feels like that Stitches forged from petals Line the inside of my gut Holding on to fleeting birds Starlings startled by ocean waves If we never swim, we'll never sink I love you for what it's worth Is this all we could ever have wanted? Some days it sure feels like that Stitches forged from petals Line the inside of my gut And I trust I trust That someday we'll never Give up

Today faded into smoke And I am coughing my lungs out Until the whole world forms a sentence To accurately describe The vinyl floors and locked doors The patient silence, the fading sirens Tipping the balance, I am not the skin that I wear We sleep with no covers Surrounded by past others Our bodies naked and fragile Seeing only iris and pupil Tomorrow rises with burning colour And we sit watching as the world turns nuclear And in the same breath I overhear the next door neighbour Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning I am here now And I am telling you That the ocean Will not disappear

Sins 05:04
Soft fragrance of flagrant desire Fine, fluorescent, forever here Lay outside until their name is spoken Joyous affirmation in audible desperation In bleached fields roses grow, sown by generations In my dreams I wander this thorny paradise Feet bare, naked to the undergrowth I am exposed in my worst fears Am I opening my doors To bluebells cursing those I love Am I worn out By nature taking its toll Lay Christ under the table Let him sweep up his own crumbs Hell these sins, they are worth saving With these scraps I have kept for years Could I recognise you if I looked you in the eye? Could I see you right in front of me? Eyes so warm and tired Fires burn through my skin I can see you now In all your visceral beauty Envisioning a life for love and I How I wish I could look you in the eye Lay Christ under the table Let him sweep up his own crumbs Hell these sins, they are worth saving With these scraps I have kept for years My greatest love has always been A landscape from above What lives do people lead down there? What passion superceded?

about

A collection of acoustic songs written over the past year or so. Themes of healing, growth, and queer love. Most of all, I wanted to share what I've been making with my friends, my family, and the world. Music doesn't have to be perfect, all it needs to do is hit home somwhere.
