Killing Time 03:21
Nice to hear from you 2am in the morning Forgot you lived here, I’m kind of bored and there’s this place that I like to go to It’s not far if you’ve got the right shoes You hail a cab and it’s $25 You take the front seat, I’ll sit behind I get the feeling it’s not me you’re into I’ll pretend it’s fine, while it all keeps falling through (Chorus) You sit inside and (you’re) insisting on killing the vibe I want to drive but I’m watching you ruin my night Blinded by your electric light Kiss and turn, standing there want to watch me burn In the dark, my thoughts myself tonight Blinded by your closed set eyes You turn it on just as quick as you bring me down How do I keep up with you, how do I figure you out? I’m the kind that’s easy to talk to City loops, side walks and bad news I get the feeling that it’s not me it’s you I’ll pretend it’s fine while it all keeps falling through (Chorus) You sit inside and (you’re) insisting on killing the vibe I want to drive but I’m watching you ruin my night Blinded by your electric light Kiss and turn, standing there want to watch me burn In the dark, my thoughts myself tonight Blinded by your closed set eyes (Chorus) You sit inside and (you’re) insisting on killing the vibe I want to drive but I’m watching you ruin my night Blinded by your electric light Kiss and turn standing there want to watch me burn In the dark, my thoughts myself tonight Blinded by your closed set eyes Kiss and turn, standing there want to watch me burn In the dark, my thoughts myself tonight Blinded by your closed set eyes

I lost my heart in the San Francisco sun I believed that everybody’s got their someone And I’m finding it hard to wear this all Maybe I’ll break your heart because I’m like that When you finally come around, sundown Find me kicking my heels, about to head out Sometimes I forget I’m your let down I’m kind of used to that (Chorus) Still high on dreams That got intertwined Still say I love you (Because) that’s my line So we beat on Borne into the past Trapped in California, nostalgia You’re building bridges while I put up dead ends Maybe I love the fight to pretend Build myself up to watch me breakdown Tussle with my head till you come around (Chorus) Still high on dreams That got intertwined Still say I love you (Because) that’s my line So we beat on Borne into the past Trapped in California, nostalgia Here’s my wine it’s on the table I’ll be back next week Up the stairs you’re in your bed with the company Of yourself, no one else, how it has to be You’re a ten, and baby, I’m a three This is not the start it’s the end for me I’m pulling out glass that’s stuck in my feet Stepping on lies this is bittersweet I’m fading, this could be the last beat (Chorus) Still high on dreams That got intertwined Still say I love you (Because) that’s my line So we beat on Borne into the past Trapped in California, nostalgia

The Getaway 04:39
They caught us on the getaway Saw the light inside your eyes I thought this will make us something, maybe make me feel alive You were hesitant to come out, knees shaking in the car This wasn’t how we pictured growing up I always take things too far (Chorus) And I swear I’m not here to lose hope tonight But I’m finding myself, this is fight or flight (Woah, woah) Are you losing your grip or just losing sight? You’re not dead, it’s not the end, don’t follow the light (Woah, woah) They caught you on the 85 Tears welled inside my eyes You thought this would make us something, maybe make you feel alive I was hesitant to come out, knees shaking in the car This wasn’t how I pictured growing up You always take things too far (Chorus) And I swear I’m not here to lose hope tonight But I’m finding myself, this is fight or flight (Woah, woah) Are you losing your grip or just losing sight? You’re not dead, it’s not the end, don’t follow the light (Woah, woah) (Bridge) I always take things too far I always take things too far I always take things too far I always take things too far I always take things too far I always take things too far I always take things too far I always take things too far (Chorus) And I swear I’m not here to lose hope tonight But I’m finding myself, this is fight or flight Are you losing your grip or just losing sight? You’re not dead, it’s not the end, don’t follow the light (Woah, woah) (Chorus) And I swear I’m not here to lose hope tonight But I’m finding myself, this is fight or flight (Woah, woah) Are you losing your grip or just losing sight? You’re not dead, it’s not the end, don’t follow the light (Woah, woah)

Miss America 04:40
I miss America, gun control hysteria Shooting down the lines, disconnected lives Tongue-in-cheek, you should learn when not to speak Pull back the blinds, wool over your eyes Face out the window again, wish he was Kennedy’s kin I’m holding hope for the end, blood on your hands again (Pre-Chorus) But stay calm when there’s a fire Eluded by desire Teenagers dead, consumer led Fill the banks and take the bread (Chorus) I drew a crowd, down to the house Fight it out Turn it around, bringing it down Make me proud It’s ok, it’s in his head When truth fails, lie instead I led the crowd, into the house Fight it out Loading a round, calling it proud Calm me down It’s ok, it’s in his head When truth fails, lie instead Forget your intellect, lighten up and disinfect Crawl through my lungs, die while you’re young It’s just a slip of the pen, beard the lion in his den Can we hold hope for the end? Blame the papers again (Pre-Chorus) But stay calm when there’s a fire Eluded by desire Teenagers dead, consumer led Fill the banks and take the bread (Chorus) I drew a crowd, down to the house Fight it out Turn it around, bringing it down Make me proud It’s ok, it’s in his head When truth fails, lie instead I led the crowd, into the house Fight it out Loading a round, calling it proud Calm me down It’s ok, it’s in his head When truth fails, lie instead (Chorus) I drew a crowd, down to the house Fight it out Turn it around, bringing it down Make me proud It’s ok, it’s in his head When truth fails, lie instead I led the crowd, into the house Fight it out Loading a round, calling it proud Calm me down It’s ok, it’s in his head When truth fails, lie instead

about

I’ve been playing guitar since I was 10. I’ve never been overly good, although I was obsessed with sounds, full stop. The sounds of a record, its production, the tonality of a 3/4 nylon string guitar (my first guitar), and soon to be electric guitar. For 15 years I’ve played in bands, and I’ve written a number of songs. I’m at a point where I want to prove to myself that I can do it all, and do it well. It’s been dribs and drabs of melodies, guitar parts, progressions, lyrics, and only sometimes almost full songs. There’s be a reliance on others to help flesh out ideas, where over time has built up doubt in my own mind if I’m capable of painting the entire canvas myself. So, the time is now. To be frank, there’s a constant flow of questions and fuck all answers. It’s a constant battle (creatively) to draw perspective, where I continue to ask myself if ‘this sounds good?’ By having zero confines and my own internal battles, this shit becomes heavy very quickly. The weight doesn’t derive from what others may think, but my own expectations to what I think I can achieve. That being said, I’m not reinventing the wheel. I’m writing indie rock music and what I’m doing has been done time and time again. I don’t want this project to be tainted by others thoughts until it’s complete, until it’s all me. Writing and releasing music is an incredibly fulfilling thing, although personally I’ve always gained more from performing live, rather than sitting and writing in a studio. There’s something about the physical exertion, leaving every ounce of energy I have in that space during that time. As I mentioned above, I relied on others to help scope ideas so for me so now I need to do it all; write every melody, progression, rhythm, hook, and play every instrument.
