Bluer 03:33
Ironclad defensive personality You can't get in, because I threw away the key Oh my god, I think I'm coming down with something Jealousy waits for no one else You keep ignoring the books along your shelf Oh my god, I think I'm coming down with something "Take these, you'll wake right up" My tears have all dried up Your stupid fucking lies, You don't even think twice And now we burst apart. Right before your eyes

Underground 02:32
Please don't wait for me, I'm far behind you Please don't live for me, I'm six feet underground Of all the days and all the people, everything It's you, It's you and me, It's true Tell me something nice, you don't have to think twice "You're two of a kind". That'll do just fine Of all the ways and fucked up people, everything It's you, It's you and me, It's true When you lose your friends, you try to sympathize What good does it do? They're dropping off like flies

Patience 02:42
I've got no patience at all I've got me up against the wall Nothing to break my fall, is this worth it? am i worth it? First one to break the circle Crying until I'm Blue Black brace and heart break and all of our mistakes What else can I do? Whats the matter? It's okay Would you rather not say? Don't bother with my father Will not carry on thy name

Melt 03:21
I'm on vacation and theres no return I'm dying more each and every day I can't stop thinking about my folks back home I miss them more each and every day Come away with me As I play with fire Like a sheet of ice Melt away with me I'm on vacation and theres no return I miss it more each and every day I can't keep thinking about my folks back home They're dying more each and every day Come away with me As I play with fire Like a sheet of ice Melt away with me Come away with me Melt away with me Don't you die on me

Willow 04:42
All of your memories, Living vanities I'm not your servant It's hard to concentrate The further from yourself, the more you assimilate Ageless beauty Formless entity I hate you, I need you Please love me, Please hear me Not my family, Distant fantasies You're so cruel to me It's hard to concentrate The further from your shell, the more you disintegrate Faithless misery Loveless diety I hate you, I need you Please love me, Please kill me, Please kill me

Somewhere in the ether, you've lost your touch Blood like a fighter, I can't do too much Somewhere in the ether, you've changed I can't say that I know you. It's strange Somewhere in the ether, they're taking us apart Put us back together. Fresh start You've gone too far Somewhere in the ether, you've lost your touch I'm not like my father, I can't get enough Somewhere in the ether, you've changed I can't say that I know you, It's strange Somewhere in the ether, They're tearing me apart Put me back together, Fresh start

about

This album is the result of an unusual year where I had way too much time on my hands. Up to this point, I've never truly been behind the controls of a project, because I never had to be. In recent years, I have garnered an interest in doing so, and through recording other bands and extensive trial and error in demoing, I felt it was time to "make the solo record that I've always dreamt of making".

Whether or not the album that materialized as a result is worthy of that title is subjective, given the fact that i've seen, heard and perilously toiled away with every part of this recording. When you're so close to something, it can be hard to see the bigger picture, but given some time away from the album, I feel that it correctly encapsulates the feelings that I set out to capture in the beginning. A way of putting myself in order and compartmentalizing every day intrusive thoughts. These shifting obsessions and fleeting ideas that in the past may have hindered me from following through with projects, but now, through this effort, I've managed to break through hose barriers and blossom

It was a challenge, but I will carry this newfound knowledge and insight with me. I'm happy to be finished with this project, and see where this new experience will take me next as an artist.

Thank you for listening,

J.K
