I Am 03:16
I am such a wreck Hide behind tinted eyes Void of self-respect Broken homes pave the streets that we’ve walked Tonight You are everything I could only try once It’s for you that I will bleed I have nothing left to grab on to Tonight I am such a wreck I can’t keep myself up I can’t learn to forget Hope you learn to live with yourself Tonight You’re my beauty queen With a venomous tongue And low self-esteem Hope you learn to live with yourself Tonight Here the happiness dies But I wouldn’t know anyways

Victory gin, a sip for each sin Leaks through my pores but still I pour it in My veins don’t react, my lungs turn to ash I can’t get to sleep and I know you won’t come back So now I’ll starve and I’ll bleed I don’t know anything My teeth are cracking in half, but don’t feel so bad This is my fault You’ll never know if you never grow I cannot speak and now my scars are starting to show I’m wasting my life, time after time My fingers are numb and I can’t feel my spine So now I’ll starve and I’ll bleed I don’t know anything My teeth are cracking in half, but don’t feel so bad This is my fault There’s something wrong with my head But I keep it to myself instead Because I can’t lose any of you I’m tired and cold, just get me through I’ll follow you

Drown 03:50
Pale black eyes aimed at cloudless skies Keep your head up, crawl back in your bed And sleep until the night time When the relapse hits I know it will destroy me But I’d rather die a coward Than live a life that I despise I am nothing, I am nothing I’ll drown today in my mistakes I’ll scream it I don’t love you anymore I am just a vessel for their doctrines to be spread And everything I think about is better left unsaid Every single day I come to grips With reality and what it’s supposed to be This is giving in, this is giving up I am nothing, I am nothing I’ll drown today in my mistakes I’ll scream it I don’t love you anymore This house is not a home This house is not a home I will die alone I will die all alone I’ll drown today in my mistakes I’ll scream it I don’t love you anymore

I’m left with fourteen days and every hour I will stay awake Combat tired eyes and snow that doesn’t stop The only fight that’s left that’s worth fighting for is pushing me away The clock drills holes into my head, mimicking my movements Nothing left to contemplate, nothing left to do today Rooftops keep us high, but what do we know We’re all susceptible to their ideals Burning books for peace Kill for what you believe I fall back down from time to time, I heave and cough, blood dripping dry Thoughts and motives have all worn away I’m sure I never get a single thought inside of your head There’s nothing left for me to see I’ve given in to apathy And conversations I can’t manage seem to occupy my days But I will be alright, yeah, I will be just fine We’re all susceptible to their ideals Burning books for peace Kill for what you believe
5.
Wake up and run out the door Your fleeting love, forevermore My decision to expire has proven right I awoke to find you gone No trace of you, no goodbye call I’ve never felt so alone I’ve wasted my whole life Trying to make sense of wrong and right But I’m just losing my mind Your weathered hands and cotton mouth Neon signs and senseless doubt One more night to feel alive Now I know what it’s like To live and learn, to lose my life I am such a wreck I’ve wasted my whole life Trying to make sense of wrong and right But I’m just losing my mind

about

Recorded/mixed/mastered in my basement in 3 days, inspired by my time spent as a professional free-loader/angsty teen/unprofessional human being.
I appreciate anyone taking the time to listen to my music and for reading these album credits. You're beautiful and I love you.

Keep local music alive.
Party hard.
Live fast.
Die whenever.
