Senthe 03:51
We'll run away Go pack your bags we'll leave today Across the sea Just you and me it's meant to be We'll ride the rails from town to town We'll walk the streets, never be found I love the taste Of your skin, I can't explain The smell of your hair Hard to believe it's really there We'll ride the rails from town to town We'll walk the streets, never be found Because somehow I know I can feel it in my bones And see it in my dreams Because somehow I know I can feel it in my bones And see it in my dreams Now I know I can feel it in my bones And see it in my dreams Because somehow I know I can feel it in my bones And see it in my dreams Because somehow I know I can feel it in my bones And see it in my dreams Because somehow

Android Love 03:58
Oh it won't be long We must be strong My love After waiting so long So patient, we Become one You and I When I built you I was so happy Then you ripped the heart from my chest Cold dead eyes Mechanical smile Oh well, darling, I tried my best Process Complete Input command Calculating the "consciousness" Initiate the "sentience" When I built you I was so happy Then you ripped the heart from my chest Cold dead eyes Mechanical smile Oh well, darling, I tried my best When I built you I was so happy Then you ripped the heart from my chest Cold dead eyes Mechanical smile Oh well, darling, I tried my best When I built you I was so happy Then you ripped the heart from my chest Cold dead eyes Mechanical smile Oh well, darling, I tried my best

If you had known What was coming Would you have shown us all the truth? Contemplate our survival While your tools are used to divide us Shut it down Our serotonin has been Weaponized and monetized Shut it down Our serotonin has been Commoditized What choice is left? When you profit From the theft of time and minds Manipulate What we believe In the name of growth and progress Shut it down Our serotonin has been Weaponized and monetized Shut it down Our serotonin has been Commoditized Shut it down Our serotonin has been Weaponized and monetized Shut it down Our serotonin has been Commoditized Commoditized Commoditized

Non Fiction 04:26
Holy and slowly You turn the page Fully accepting Every word you've read The more you know The less you show Compassion for Who you are Careless reflection Almost by mistake Honest intentions Recognized too late The more you know The less you show Compassion for Who you are The more you know The less you show Compassion for Who you are The more you know The less you show Compassion for Who you are The more you know The less you show Compassion for Who you are

It Pours 03:19
I sit on the edge of my bed My head in my hands I cry and shake, I can't believe It's happening again When it rains it pours When it rains it pours I'm walking home in darkness Images fill my head Life, it seems so pointless How long can I pretend? Salvation's in a bottle I'll swallow it down These pills they help me smile Otherwise, I'd drown knowing that When it rain it pours When it rain it pours When it rain it pours When it rain it pours When it rain it pours When it rain it pours When it rain it pours When it rain it pours When it rain it pours When it rain it pours

I started chasing a compromise Temporary, I let it slide I didn't forget it I hid it, admit it I got what I wanted And then it hit me, son of a bitch And then it hit me, half a dozen wasted And then it hit me, son of a bitch And then it hit me, shit I sense of panic, the loss of time Vanished youth, the mirror reminds me The face that I see, it stares right through me Had I given up? And then it hit me, son of a bitch And then it hit me, half a dozen wasted And then it hit me, son of a bitch And then it hit me, shit Oh your vanished youth Oh your haunting truth All those wasted years Obeying your fears And then it hit me, son of a bitch And then it hit me, half a dozen wasted And then it hit me, son of a bitch And then it hit me, half a dozen wasted And then it hit me, son of a bitch And then it hit me, half a dozen wasted And then it hit me, son of a bitch And then it hit me, shit

Comatose 03:48
I never thought a blade could feel so soft I never meant to close my eyes than cross Comatose Not asleep but not alive And as you drift Your friends they disappear When you need them most you turn them into ghosts Can you even feel it coming? Comatose Not asleep but not alive Comatose Not asleep but not alive Comatose Not asleep but not alive Comatose Not asleep but not alive Comatose Not asleep but not alive Comatose Not asleep but not alive

I know it's over Sobering Since last we spoke I've been wondering But that's okay I still scream your name I had a vivid dream last night Covered in darkness and bound up tight With no escape I still scream your name I still scream your name I still scream your name I still scream your name I still scream your name I wear you like a black tattoo A weeping willow I can't uproot A deciduous stain I still scream your name I still scream your name I still scream your name

about

In 2020, I battled mental health and depression. I began writing again to occupy my time. I was filled with inspiration, ideas, and songs. I felt intense regret for ignoring this part of myself for six years. The urge to create became inescapable. This album captures those feelings and realizations
