lyrics:
sink in your teeth
you could bite til i bleed
saw a ghost in a dream
she was you, i was me

do we run too far?
do i try too hard?
did we burn that bridge when i crashed that car?
do we swim too slow to be swallowed whole?
is your room still cold?

i'm an idle hour ticking clock
though I'm begging, you love me not
war & wildflowers fill my brain
what a shame

i'm the nervous wreck of your dreams
poised and eloquent as a scream
war & wildflowers fill my brain
all the same, all the same

what's the point of loving if it makes you hurt?
girl, don't you kill me with your vacant words

i made that mistake
tracing tracks to your place
saw some hands touch your skin
moving in, moving in

war & wildflowers

Lyrics:
Heard through a friend that it hurts you to see me doing well without you
I can't believe you'd go and make this all about you, this isn't about you (no)
I heard you lengthened out your hair and shortened up your name, that's so you
Now I wonder if I'll even recognize your face again

I found my truth was in the downfall
Painted picture grateful, pain is something graceful (yeah)
I took a step back for a clearer view
In a way I wanna thank you

I had to find out in the worst way
I can make it out of anything
Cause even on the first day you were gone
Emotional truth I tried everything to get back to you 
But nothing would change that I'm gonna be okay
Yeah I'm better off this way

But now we're standing in the same room not saying one word acting like we don't know each other anymore
But we don't know each other anymore
I really want you to know that I don't hate you
I hope you know I really wish you the best
But the time has come to move on with my life
So goodbye old friend

I had to find out in the worst way
I can make it out of anything
Cause even on the first day you were gone
Emotional truth I tried everything to get back to you 
But nothing would change that I'm gonna be okay
Yeah I'm better off this way

“Starry Eyed” was written in the wake of my best friend’s coming out. It was a tender period that included many tough conversations, and tested both of our belief systems. I had to re-examine my views on faith and sexuality, and was faced with challenging questions about what exactly I believed. And there were times where it felt like my faith was slipping through my fingers… 

One night, feeling particularly alone and overwhelmed, I retreated to my studio in an attempt to find some catharsis. I sent up a wordless prayer in the form of a faint whistle and a melancholy melody (the same whistle that opens up the track). There’s something naturally light-hearted and carefree about whistling. It was the opposite of what I felt, but it was my last-ditch effort to inspire hope within myself.

I ended up doubling the whistle melody on electric guitar, and then layered a bunch of synth textures on top of it with my Moog Little Phatty. Before I knew it, my feelings existed in sonic form. And to just sit in my studio, with the lights off, the glow of the instruments, and the music on loop was incredibly healing for my soul. There’s something expressly vulnerable and spiritual that inhabits that part of this song.

"Starry Eyed" lyrics:
I don’t even know where to begin
But I’m feeling over my head
Losing sight of what I believe
The weight is taking its toll on me

So how do I look you in the eyes
And tell you I love you?
With everything shattered on the ground
Searching for the truth

We were holding the lines
Till we fell on hard times
I can still see the stars in the sky
I think that we’re alright

Yeah, we lost control
But we still got hope
I can still see the stars in your eyes 
I think that we’re alright
Yeah, I think that we’re alright

Everything that I thought I knew
Came crashing down because of you
But I’m happy you made a mess
Shook me awake from my ignorance

We were holding the lines
Till we fell on hard times
I can still see the stars in the sky
I think that we’re alright

Yeah, we lost control
But we still got hope
I can still see the stars in your eyes 
I think that we’re alright
Yeah, I think that we’re alright
Yeah, I think that we’re alright

Your secrets are heavy
But I’ll hold ‘em till you don’t need ‘em anymore
Your secrets are heavy
But I’ll hold ‘em till you don’t need ‘em anymore

Your secrets are heavy
But I’ll hold ‘em till you don’t need ‘em anymore
Your secrets are heavy
But I’ll hold ‘em till you don’t need ‘em

Holding the lines
Even in hard times
I can still see the stars in the sky
I think that we’re alright

Yeah, we lost control
But we still got hope
I can still see the stars in your eyes 
I think that we’re alright
Yeah, I think that we’re alright
Yeah, I think that we’re alright
Yeah, I think that we’re alright
