I NEED to know what the instrument and sheet music for this arpeggio are

@securitycamel: Did you check the lyrics right above you in the description? :)

You sound oddly a little like Michael Bublé here...not necessarily a bad thing.

This chorus is so intense! It's not even heavy, and it still manages to be super powerful T_T

>when you realize that the song you always skipped on your fav album was absolute fire

there is so much emotion put into this! new fav artist

Proud of these songs! I hope you can find some meaning and enjoyment in them.

Falsework

Vestige

Written, produced, and performed by yours truly.

The album title, and a lot of the lyricism, drew from the experiences, emotions, and thought patterns I've had over the last year and a half. I have lots of anxieties about the world, but I'm grateful for the love and support of my friends and family.

Musically, the biggest inspiration for this album has been my Weber upright piano, which we bought second-hand shortly after moving to CT. It has a practice pedal, which plops a nice thick felt right down between the strings and the hammers. I'll sit down and doodle on it daily. In the end, I ended up recording it for every song on the album except the two instrumental songs, ironically enough. The last song on the album is a solo piano/vocal piece.

I hope you enjoy Scenes from a Window.

Lyrics:
Hey, where are you headed
Can I hitch a ride
Wait, let me get this
I’m on your side
Please tell me your weakness
I’ll watch over it for you
There’s no need to check in later
I know you have things to attend to

A familiar scene, a hit and run
Count another one
It doesn’t use its given name
Changes where it comes from
It bites at the corners of
The people and the self you love
By the time you know and call it in
It’s already wheels up

Started out with something pure
But it slowly degraded to the state it’s in now
Look at me getting myself down
You'd think I’d have learned by now

A familiar scene, a hit and run
Count another one
It doesn’t use its given name
Changes where it comes from
It bites at the corners of
The people and the self I love
By the time you know and call it in
It’s already wheels up

I can’t get myself up from the chair
The fabric’s faded and the cushion’s bare
The place called home is somewhere else
It left behind its hollow shell
I know my mind plays tricks on me
Slowly learning about entropy
Bring me back to the ground
And hope I come around

It’s a familiar scene

I’m drowning in this temporary ecstasy
I’m never quite who I intend to be
And seeing the world like you never did
Growing up but still a stupid kid

I wanna fill the empty space
Just today
This feeling never stays
Tomorrow we’ll be alone again
’Til then I’ll swallow the poison

Four years flew right by
Stuck here, I can’t decide
Wanted to feel alive
Wish that I had the time
Chasing
Changing
I’m so uncomplacent 
I just want another day

Another day to fill the space
Another chance I can’t replace
Among the crowd I’m just a face
Don’t worry, I’m ok
But if it all comes crashing down
I don’t know if I’ll come around
Another war I should’ve fought
Don’t tell me what I want

I wanna fill the empty space
Just today
This feeling never stays
Tomorrow we’ll be alone again
’Til then I’ll swallow the poison

I’ll swallow your poison
Your flesh and your bones
And I’ll stay here with you ’til it’s over
Time took my friends
And I’m nothing without them
The ink turns to black in the winter

I wanna fill the empty space
Just today
This feeling never stays
Tomorrow we’ll be alone again
’Til then I’ll swallow the poison

I wanna fill the empty space
Just today
This feeling never stays
Tomorrow we’ll be alone again
’Til then I’ll swallow the poison

TOMORROW WE'LL BE

Lyrics:
Big voices on the radio
Hushed whispers on the telephone
Thin walls, open airwaves
A cold case becomes a hot zone

There’s always an agenda
Only white knights and renegades
Pushing out a prejudice
And calling it “Lemonade”

They’ll always try to buy stars above
They’ll always lie about who they love
You’ve heard the names
Fake numbers get ahead in the game so
When’s push gonna come shove?

Don’t feed me tall tales
I’ll spit ‘em right back at you
You don’t know anything that nobody didn’t tell you
So don’t blame the skeptics
For thinking out loud
In the battle of headroom, it’s a fight for the foreground

It takes a crowd to change a scene
No more readers to write the magazines
Betting we won’t recognize
That they decide when the rules don’t apply

Don’t feed me tall tales
I’ll spit ‘em right back at you
You don’t know anything that nobody didn’t tell you
So don’t blame the skeptics
For thinking out loud
In the battle of headroom, it’s a fight for the foreground

I know I’m not alone
In using a microphone to say
What I think should be said
I’m running it in the red

Don’t feed me tall tales
I’ll spit ‘em right back at you
You don’t know anything that nobody didn’t tell you

Lyrics:
I’m sick of living with this cloud inside my head
An echo chamber of the worst things that I’ve said
One-sided conversations getting me nowhere
I’m wasting time sinking in my chair
External stimuli are few and far between
I’ve extracted all the kicks I can from caffeine
I need someone who’s not afraid to call the shots
Someone who can connect the missing dots

First take
Let’s try a new progression no one else could make
It might not come together, babe, but just in case
Let’s run it from the top and roll the tape
Later on tonight
When you go on your way and I go on mine
I’ll play it back and see if any moments shine
I hope this one grows in time

I’ll keep my head down I’ve been burned this way before
That sparkle always dies down till it bores me
As time goes by, I keep expecting it fade
But her name keeps jumping off the page
Noticing subtleties that used to be washed out
Enjoy the silences that used to fill with doubt
I might concede if I’d been properly prepared
But I gotta say, I thought I’d be more scared

First take
Let’s try a new progression no one else could make
It might not come together, babe, but just in case
Let’s run it from the top and roll the tape
Later on tonight
When you go on your way and I go on mine
I’ll play it back and see if any moments shine
I hope this one grows in time

Pin-point the satellite
Rewet the appetite
Stay up until the sun runs off into the night
Wake up the daydreams
Call off the search team
I think you’re already deep into my bloodstream

First take
Let’s try a new progression no one else could make
It might not come together, babe, but just in case
Let’s run it from the top and roll the tape
Later on tonight
When you go on your way and I go on mine
I’ll play it back and see if any moments shine

Lyrics:
Calendar is open, the furniture’s dated
If I go out tonight, don’t wanna be persuaded
Running out of faces, it’s a failing structure
Go back to square one, and start with a whisper

Saved until it’s remade
Received but no relay
It was nothing but a first draft
It didn’t have an ounce of contrast
Another short-term getaway
A still frame in a time lapse

It served its purpose, moments of focus
I saw the future slip by unnoticed
It lives in the falsework and stays undercover
I hope my current state can hold the weight until it wants to be heard

Tip-toe over bridges that haven’t had upkeep
It might spell disaster to bet it all on black sheep
Every great idea has a long history
And every tower gets swallowed in the sea

Nail on nail, steel on steel
Construct myself in piecemeal
Skeletal and faceless
Unfinished empty spaces

Proud of these songs! I hope you can find some meaning and enjoyment in them.

Lyrics:
Brick walls
Stumbling on a windfall
The bench is split, I’m losing it
Letting off steam
Stretching out the seams
The tension’s gone, I’m moving on

Dry land
Working with a fresh hand
The river flips, I’m jumping ship
Flooded ground
But I know I won’t drown
Head high, take to the sky

The path in front of me might make turns in sharp degrees
Lower the center of gravity
Don’t rub shoulders with a wave until it breaks
Move on and make some headway

Neck deep
Standing on two feet
A runner’s lift, a wanderer’s drift
Break the skin
And mend it back again
A falling scar, a hard restart

Good fortune makes a fickle friend
Don’t get too familiar with rising trends
Stay the course, ride out the storm
And come out of the water reborn

Headway

Lyrics:
When did we turn up our voices so loud
We don’t see eye to eye on anything now
Loosing words over the lines that we drew
We’ve got some work to do to get to the root

Clean out the attic
Cut the feedback
It can get dramatic
When opposites attack

Two territories getting smashed into one
A war of attrition has already begun
Who says we can’t make a truce for one night
Maybe negotiate by candlelight

I’ve left my weak side exposed
And left the burner on the stove
For the safety of our lives
On three, let’s both apologize

Opposites Attack!

Collapse / Expand isn't a concept EP, but it is aptly named. Each of these songs survived multiple, heavy reworks and they landed where they are now. The title also comes from the fact that a lot of things seem to be ending or beginning or growing.

Lyrics:
Make another pivot
I'm right within reach
Not certain I can get it
It won't be easy

Screaming at the thunder
till the voice hurts
Some days I wonder
just what it's all worth

Still got a little ways to go
but I don't wanna wait to know
We've tested the water long enough
Familiar paralysis
of never breaking out of this
I think it's time we step it up

Life's moving fast for all the right reasons
Narrow window to hit the peak season
Now's the time to play our cards
Listen to our restless hearts

Another cold winter
Another wet spring
Another dry July with memories lingering

Soon it'll be autumn
when the lights die down
We're gonna be louder when the new year rolls around

Still got a little ways to go
but I don't wanna wait to know
We've tested the water long enough
Familiar paralysis
of never breaking out of this
I think it's time to step it up

Life's moving fast for all the right reasons
Narrow window to hit the peak season
Now's the time to play our cards
Listen to our restless hearts

Still got a little ways to go
but I don't wanna wait to know
We've tested the waters long enough
Familiar paralysis
of never breaking out of this
No I'm not giving up

Peak Season

if I drove for hours to your place
would it all be okay?
could we sit by the fireplace
and wish this void away

will the embers warn the cold?
as tear drops spill in the fire
we'll let out every single fume
of troubles and desires

you'll say everything will be fine
that this too shall pass with time
but under the weight, how much can you take
before you collapse?

collapse into me, let it all out
how much more can you take?

someday you and i will sit under a clearer sky
oh someday the sun will shine all its rays on our troubled lives
someday you and i will sit under a clearer sky
someday we'll find our way, so won't you stay alive with me

stay alive with me

we'll sit under a clearer sky
we'll sit under a clearer sky
