When I'm with You

I lay deeply personal lyrics over a bed of pulsing synths so listeners are transported to a introspective dream space. A watery vocal quality falls over the heartbeat style kick and bass. I want listeners to take a drive or step out into nature and absorb the ethereal tone of my music. I am an indie/edm artist. While the constant rhythm and saturated vocals lean towards the lo-fi realm, my lyrics and surprising instrumentation maintain the indie/pop genre.

Looking In Your Eyes

Lyrics:
Totaled your car in a ditch
Olde English always tastes like a death wish 
Tall cans and a short fuse
I’d ask you why 
But what would be the use

Romanticize feeling like shit 
Is this it

The way you made dad cry 
Anyone else’d think that you’d gone and died 
I know you never planned on 25
When your brain’s on fire
It’s hard to want to stay alive 

It would never be enough to pull the plug
Gotta blow it all up

Remember when I’d dress up in your clothes
When I wasn’t busy biting at your ankles
You’d pick me up from parties when it’s late 
Stay outside so I can kiss the boy I hate 

Never could find the right itch to scratch 
With the nicotine patch 


Still wearing your hospital socks
A birthday in a parking lot
You look so small and filthy by the door
Feel sick when I hear mom talk like you’re four

Never been any good at fighting games 
Thought every Christmas would always be the same 
We’ll call you anything except your name 
It’s only fair for you to share the blame 
For you 
For you 
For you 
I would take the blame 

Work in progress. Vocals, guitar, and recording by Ruby Songster.
