A miracle of odds beyond yourself Learn your mother well, I fear no help Oh I feel my body quiver No motion, but it’s killer I miss that little child My love for life is now too mild I miss that little child My love for life is now too mild Oh I’m too close to Heaven It’s always on my mind I don’t wanna live this path Until the day I die Oh I’m too close to Heaven It’s always on my mind Don’t lie on this path Until the day you die

I was a shithead back then But I almost wish I was more dead Fuck around, give me a pretense Release my problems through two hands (She was so fucking hot And now she was my only real chance So now I feel left behind Because I want to be a better guy Which only leaves me in this shitty fucking state) Waiting to get my act straight Can’t be the bearer of more pain Broke down in the back of the apartment How strong is it today (I’ve been waiting forever to get on my feet And I’ll never even trust myself But really it’s never the “right time” So I guess I’ll just fucking jack off to feel fine I guess) So maybe I need a manic pixie Sweet touch, yes that would fix me Hard fuck, yes now we’re living And I wasted my time It’s a topic I should revisit Dreams of loving that are so specific Come over babe, give me a visit Give me a reason to stay alive (Rambling about highschool) So maybe I need a manic pixie Sweet touch, yes that would fix me Hard fuck, yes now we’re living And I wasted my time It’s a topic I should revisit Dreams of loving that are so specific Come over babe, give me a visit Give me a reason to stay alive

Maybe it’s a blessing that we can’t see Heaven Maybe it’s a blessing that we can’t see Heaven Maybe it’s a blessing that we can’t see Heaven Maybe it’s a blessing that we can’t see Maybe it’s a blessing that we can’t see Heaven Maybe it’s a blessing that we can’t see Heaven Maybe it’s a blessing that we can’t see Heaven Cause I would’ve killed myself by now Maybe it’s a blessing that we can’t see Heaven Maybe it’s a blessing that we can’t see Heaven Maybe it’s a blessing that we can’t see Heaven Maybe it’s a blessing that we can’t see Maybe it’s a blessing that we can’t see Heaven Maybe it’s a blessing that we can’t see Heaven Maybe it’s a blessing that we can’t see Heaven No repercussions, joyously setting Scared to need my friends oh yes I’m Scared to need my friends oh yes I’m Scared to need my friends oh yes I’m Scared to need my friends oh yes I’m Scared to need my friends oh yes I’m Scared to need my friends oh yes I’m Scared to need my friends oh yes I’m Scared to need my friends oh yes I’m Scared to need my friends oh yes I’m Scared to need my friends oh yes I’m Scared to need my friends oh yes I’m Scared to need my friends oh yes I’m Scared to need my friends oh yes I’m Scared to need my friends oh yes I’m Scared to need my friends oh yes I’m Stagnant, stagnant state of mind Wake up, dream hard, waste my time I say that music is my life While I just treat it like a side Only so much time to get famous Make cash, live fast, be my favorite Some days I cannot take it My mind has had enough and it vanishes Where’d it go? Where’d it go? Where’d it go? Where’d it go? Where’d it go? Where’d it go? I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know Where’d it go? Where’d it go? Where’d it go? Where’d it go? Where’d it go? Where’d it go? I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know Am I insane? Do I know? Am I free? Am I home? Only I’d be worried about not being worried

Human birth, placed on a path You were aware, I was glad Now it’s too clear, I can see what I’ve had And nothing real can obstruct the wrath Will it get worse? Only time to ask Same old, same old beaten path Pretty please, I have to ask Can you calm the hairs upon my back? I can see it now, I can see it now I can see it now, I can see it now Ever since I was a child I’ve always loved the sky It seems to answer every question Whenever I asked why And I don’t seem to understand Why I feel my feet Walking on a brutal sphere What’s in it for me? Maybe I don’t belong here Maybe I’m more than a man who must adhere Maybe I don’t belong here Trust your intuition Trust in what generates your world Cause I’m failing to exist in a foreign one Cause I’m failing to exist in a foreign one Cause I’m failing to exist in a foreign one Human birth, placed on a path You were aware, I was glad Now it’s too clear, I can see what I’ve had And nothing real can obstruct the wrath Will it get worse? Only time to ask Same old, same old beaten path Pretty please, I have to ask Can you calm the hairs upon my back?

Numbers, now everything Never thought you'd be here, pack your things I fight everyday, just to feel some light You'll be a lonely man When you take the reaper's hand Cause you didn't drag a human Through the devil's land So is it worth being selfish Before I seep through sand To make another human To wish me out this land And I can't seem to realize That there's power in my hands To live a better life And go out with a stand

You don’t get to find out (As long as I’m alive, I will keep fighting)

I woke up today I’m still in my body I still have my hobbies I still can stay Well I can’t run But sound still fills my eardrums Don’t let these metaphors be waste I’m still falling I’m still bawling But that’s ok with me I’m still falling I’m still bawling But that’s ok with me Let’s make our day

about

This is an album about dread, and how it can occur throughout a human's lifetime. The narrator gets older in each track starting at "You Are Here."

I wrote this album when I was in an awful depression, and it doesn't really reflect how I feel about life currently. I didn't want my work to go to waste though, so while I almost feel guilty for releasing something so bleak, I hope the last track (a later addition) helps a little bit. I see this album as me overcoming my lowest, and turning it into something I'm proud of.

[SPECIAL THANKS]:

Thank you Renee for the guitar sample on the last track! Much love! You can follow her @reeen_beeeaaar on Instagram.

Thank you Juli for putting up with my demos over the past two years (lol).

Thank you Kai for inspiring me to make music. You don't know this, but something you said two years ago is what pushed me to even start doing this, and I'm eternally grateful for that.

Thank you to all of the artists that inspired this project. The entire Longinus Recordings label and similar artists have had a massive influence on my life, and I'm so so glad I discovered their music.
