About “That Way”
I don’t know if this is about you or if it’s about someone I haven’t met yet. All I know is, this is how I think true love should feel like and can truly be. If it’s even half of what I attempted to articulate in this song, I can’t wait.

Lyrics: 
Watch as our children play and arrive at a thought ‘bout a newborn babe 
All their world- from a pawnshop ring 

Once you heard me say, fate, brought me a day when I righted all my wrongs through a metamorphic chase 
If it meant that you’d stay it was staying that way
 
That way, that way, that way, that way 
That way, that way, that way, that way 
That way, that way, that way, that way 
That way, that way, that way, that way 

I know I’ve seen you before 
My memory goes so just to be sure- 
You’re the girl from the front porch swing where we rock away, sway 
We’re old and grey and been side by side so long we’ve said all there is to say 
And I’m more than okay with it staying that way 

That way, that way, that way, that way 
That way, that way, that way, that way 
That way, that way, that way, that way 
That way, that way, that way, that way

I’ll rest and patiently wait for you to undress yourself at the gates 
Smile as I ask, “wanna meet the king?” 
In linen and lace, grace 
A hand on your waist as I pull you in so strong for an eternal embrace 
Since before we were made it was written that way 

That way, that way, that way, that way 
That way, that way, that way, that way 
That way, that way, that way, that way 
That way, that way, that way, that way 

That way, that way, that way, that way 
That way, that way, that way, that way 
That way, that way, that way, that way 
That way, that way, that way, that way

About “Hawaii”
I think back to one the nights you stayed over. It was a snapshot of bliss. But in hindsight, I was wrong about you and us. You weren't the person I needed, but the lesson I needed. What I learned from all of this I can take into the next relationship I have. 

Lyrics: 
Using the sheet to cover your breast 
We’ve tangled our feet and your heads on my chest 
Already, so baby don’t cover up yet 
‘Cause we still have the morning to lay in this bed 

And I’ll hold you like you need to be held 
Tell you things you need to get told, yeah ‘
Cause you don’t know you’re showing me how to love the lover I have now 

You’re asking why? I’m asking why not? 
Fully in love you say you are- just can’t give what you’ve got 
But baby we’ve climbed that hill and it’s gorgeous up top
 So we still have running away to talk about 

And I’ll hold you like you need to be held 
Tell you things you need to get told, yeah 
‘Cause you don’t know you’re showing me how to love the lover I have now

About POV (https://soundcloud.com/bleedtherads/s...)
(One year ago) I fell in ~love~ with someone that simultaneously fell out of love [sic] with me, all as I was about finish college with absolutely no idea what I was going to do with my life. As I assessed the damage in the wake of graduation, and as everyone around me moved forward with their lives while I remained stuck in the same place, these songs came out of me like shrapnel. I used live drums and drum machines to vocode guitars, synths, and pianos to suck the life out of the mixes to echo how life had been sucked out of me. And I used digitally crafted harmonies to lift up my fragile vocals. In succession, they’re about as hollow sonically as I was emotionally, but they look with optimism to resolve at the close- follow along with the lyrics in the track descriptions to better trace the narrative I’m trying to tell and like and share if you're picking up what I'm trying to put down. This isn’t an LP, this is my POV.

About “Forget About (Forgetting About You)”
When I was consciously trying to get over you, I avoided all of the people, places, and didn’t do the things I knew would remind me of you. But it took me only one random moment, standing on a dance floor in a bar, for me to realize I wasn’t trying to not think about you. I was fine and I was always going to be all along. It just took some time. 

Lyrics: 
I looked at them and didn’t see your eyes 
Spoke to them and didn’t hear your lies 
Tasted them and didn’t savor goodbye 
Layed with them and didn’t start to unwind, I 

I looked at them and didn’t see your eyes 
Spoke to them and didn’t hear your lies 
Tasted them and didn’t savor goodbye 
Layed with them and didn’t start to unwind, I 
Danced at the same club where you left me that night 
Ordered a drink that I know you wouldn’t like
So there and present I didn’t realize how naturally and easily I felt alive, and 
Like the sky is blue, in that moment I knew, I had forgotten about forgetting about you 

I had forgotten about forgetting about you 
I hope it kills you that I’m fine 
That feels so good to say that I think I’ll say it twice 
I HOPE IT KILLS YOU THAT I’M FINE 
And you’re no longer taking up my mind and my time 
I gave an arm and a leg just to try to make you mine 
Made a fool of myself to try to make you smile 
Wasted what gas I had to drive the extra mile just to keep the passenger seat warm with you for a while 

If only then I knew what to do- forget about forgetting about you
If only then I knew- forget about forgetting about you 
If only then I knew- forget about forgetting about you 
If only then I knew- forget about forgetting about you 

If only then I knew what to do- forget about forgetting about you

About “To the Class of-“
I was heartbroken and was just starting to put the pieces back together. But I lost focus on what was happening at school and became increasingly overwhelmed when suddenly I had graduated from college feeling empty in my both my personal life and now my professional life. Ouch. Could I put food on the table and pay my rent writing about you?

Lyrics:
I don’t have a plan and goddam do I need one now 
My cigarette butts have to long been littering this town 
I know that they’ll kill me if I don’t start putting them down 
But maybe that’ll save me from having to figure life out 

‘Cause I’m closer to this past than I am the future 
Feeling less like an adult and more like a creature 

My parents have given everything that they could to me 
Maybe that’s why it’s been so hard for me to want to leave 
Nevertheless I have hidden some tricks up my sleeve 
To get out their basement- the ceiling’s to low for my dreams 

Still I’m closer to this past than I am the future 
Feeling more an adult who’s still on the bleachers 

What do I do in the meantime so I can get paid 
Until I’m making singing this song up on stage? 
I guess I could find a job that lets me still sleep in late 
So I could roll face and make it into work the next day 

See I’m closer to this past than I am the future
Feeling less like an adult and more like a creature 

I do want a family someday so this shits gotta stop 
To give them the life that I’ve always been dreaming about 
Getting there will take just a little bit of knowhow 
Which I’m learning by letting this chapter of life take its bow 

Now I’m farther from this past than I am the future 
Feeling less like an adult? I didn’t either…

About “Cabs in the Rain (S O Y K Reprise)
Now what? I want to love and be loved. There were three people that I felt connected to after you, and I wanted to take them, and have them take me, to the elevated state that I thought me and you were going to get to together. I asked the same thing of them I asked of you, but was stopped short. 

Lyrics: 
With your head in my lap in a cab in the rain 
Looking down at you looking up at me and we’re thinking the same thing 
Go smoke a spliff in bed 
Pull the covers over our heads 
Then- 

Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down
Never let me down 

With yourself ‘round the world and myself in Philly 
What do I have to do to get my hands on what I’m seeing on screen? 

Go to New Amsterdam 
Show you what kind of guy I am 
Then- 

Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down 
Never let me down 
Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down 
Never let me down 

With your name in my head through a friend of a friend 
Thinking this is it but I haven’t even met you yet
I wanna tell myself I miss you 
I wanna tell my sister I kissed you 
I wanna tell my mother I love you 
I wanna tell your father about his daughter NOW 

Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down 
Never let me down 
Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down 
Never let me down, no

About “(s)Exorcised”
If you wanted me to get over you or leave you alone, you should’ve fucked my roommate sooner! I had been trying to get over you so badly that it’s funny to think how quickly I went from loving you to loathing you. And now I could never try any kind of relationship with you again even if I wanted to. 

Lyrics: 
I was exorcised right it front of my own eyes 
In the other room to be exact 
Felt like fiction, it was fact

Out of all it could’ve been it was my best friend so I’ll never touch you again 
Crimes against me, no apology for a love that can never be now

In a fucked up way I wanna thank you but that don’t mean we’re cool
‘Cause my feelings clearly mean nothing to you 

Nearly lost my mind 
Had to leave my house to get high 
‘Cause I could hear it through the walls
 Heard her running down my halls 

Out of all it could’ve been it was my best friend so I’ll never touch you again 
Crimes against me, no apology for a love that can never be now

In a fucked up way I wanna thank you but that don’t mean we’re cool 
‘Cause my feelings clearly mean nothing to you

About “Something Serendipitous”
Enough was enough. I didn’t want to be over you, but at some point I had to be whether I liked it or not. If we were truly supposed to be together I was just going to leave it up to serendipity. Maybe we’ll run into each again in the future when the time is right, or better. Nothing yet.

Lyrics: 
Romanticized misconceptions of this precipitous love that you won’t discuss 
So the last shred of optimism in me can only hope we are getting set up for something serendipitous 

I love who you are here and now but I’m in love with person I know you’ll be
So if this is not fate and it’s destiny I cannot wait to meet them and to succumb to the woman that you’ve become 

In that moment of retrouvaille we’ll make the rest up as we’re making out 
‘Cause that fire, desire, will have been deep inside us and there’ll be no one to put it out, to put it out

About “For the Faint of Heart”
I finally decided to just try and let it go. But it was hard to let go when I thought of all of the little tells that made me think it was real. You shouldn’t have said the things they said to me if you didn’t mean them.

Lyrics: 
It kills me you’re not curious to fall back upon my lips 
I felt it on your fingertips at the coffee shop, face sun kissed 

A teardrop forms in the corner of your stoplight eyes I hate to love 
You did what’s right and left I guess, tomorrow you’ve got a plane to catch 

But that kiss, upside down, spun my world around 
The curve of your body between me and the ground 
I held you to it what did you hold on me? 

Blood runs quicker through my veins and I should’ve never thought this was happening
But if you gave me just one night I swear to god I’d do you right 

You never thought to think and let me be the only thing on your mind at night 
You’re not the most faint of heart so let me have the other part

‘Cause that kiss, upside down, spun my world around I heard what you said before this knocked you down 
I held you to it what did you hold on me?

About “Two Days on Mercury”
I quickly began to feel like I was getting dragged along, simply floating through space on a tether. Space sure is beautiful, but it sure was lonely up there. Did this/does this mean to them what it did/does to me? 

Lyrics: 
It's been two days on Mercury 
So what is, I mean, was this if you aren't for me Ms. "Rum and Coke with two limes"? 
You fuck him but you won't make love to me 
As I'm giving up every last day left of my being 
For just one to call you mine 

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder 
Yet I watch and wait as your heart wanders away 

You need five days on Mercury But is this, I mean, was this how it'd really be 
During the meantime? 
Where I hate to love you and you love to hate me 
Trading revelry and ecstasy for misery 
Our wrongs would make this right, right? No? 

Then I'll leave you alone if you promise me who 
You choose to love you does so as much as I do, I mean did 

I mean do, I mean did, I mean do, I mean did, I mean do, I mean did, I mean do, I mean did I mean do, I mean did, I mean do, I mean did, I mean do, I mean did, I mean do, I mean did, I mean do 

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder 
Yet I watch and wait as your heart wanders away

About “S O Y K”
The elevated state where I wanted and knew this relationship with you could’ve gone to. I was already there; it was up to you to get there yourself, hence somewhere only YOU know. Having seen it and been there first hand, I never wanted that leave that place and have that high to go away. SPOILER: It did… 

Lyrics: 
Can you feel my heart beating to the rhythm of the rain as it comes pouring down? 
These clouds don’t take minutes they make moments to talk about 
Can you feel my hands shaking like the leaves on the trees? 
As the wind tears them off, you’re tearing through me 
Oh, I do like this weather and I don’t think I’d ever leave unless your seasons changed with me 

Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down, never let me down 
Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down, never let me down 

My body starts trembling as the engine winds down but we don’t ‘cause what we need is boxed in all around 
Oh, I could break down these windows, take you somewhere only you know that I don’t but I won’t do that, no 

Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down, never let me down 
Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down, never let me down

And now I’m standing, running, from the rain and I know I can’t go home 
And now I’m walking, talking, to shadows and I know that I’m alone 

Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down, never let me down 
Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down, never let me down, no
