'stream of air'
track 1 of 5
9/2/21

i see your breath in the air with my eyes
the coldness surrounds my ears but i'm alright
you drift to my mind and the time flies
your whispers fill through the air when winter arrives

stream of air

come on i'm sure
it always gets better
so stop this damage
i know it hurts
he left so soon
but i know he'll manage

he'll come back, and he'll be him again
i don't know if i still want to be friends
its not enough, its not enough, for me to pretend
its not enough, its not enough

and i dont know you anymore

your white lies, your white lies
leave with fright lines
i cry when light up with the sky
i almost died but i feel alive
it left me with fright lines
it left me with fright lines

i scratched up my old identity
fell in love so everyone could see
the fright lines, the fright lines, the fright lines
the fright lines, the fright lines they drew on me
caught up on emotions i didn't need
locked away for a summer of secrecy
the fright lines, the fright lines, the fright lines
the fright lines, the fright lines they drew on me

the fright lines

the fright lines, the fright lines, the fright lines
the fright lines, the fright lines they drew on me

the fright lines

the fright lines, the fright lines, the fright lines
the fright lines, the fright lines they drew on me

the fright lines remind me
the fright lines remind me

only last year
did we talk together
how it'd get better
we were right here
i looked at you
and you said you met her

im sidelined, waiting looking in
i cant tell if we even still are friends
i want it back, i want it back, and see you again back
i want it back, i want it back

and i dont know you anymore

your white lies, your white lies
leave with fright lines
i cry when light up with the sky
i almost died but i feel alive
it left me with fright lines
it left me with fright lines

i scratched up my old identity
fell in love so everyone could see
the fright lines, the fright lines, the fright lines
the fright lines, the fright lines they drew on me
caught up on emotions i didn't need
locked away for a summer of secrecy
the fright lines, the fright lines, the fright lines
the fright lines, the fright lines they drew on me

the fright lines

the fright lines, the fright lines, the fright lines
the fright lines, the fright lines they drew on me

the fright lines

the fright lines, the fright lines, the fright lines
the fright lines, the fright lines they drew on me

fright lines!

Origami

mar·ces·cent
(of leaves or fronds) withering but remaining attached to the stem

i saw another orange leaf
hanging from a tree
it will tell us of the winter
as falls beneath our feet
it's trying plant a seed
and dig itself underneath
it'll fade into the soil
to find a way to breathe

in through the air it flies
and with the wind it finds
a new call to life
a new fall to write

i watch shadows fade beneath
and clouds cover the beach
and maybe this is a sign
that i've been living too carefree
so i've waiting for that leaf
to paint a perfect scene
and soon ill come to find
that lie was just a dream

in through the air it flies
and with the wind it finds
a new call to life
a new fall to write

in through the air it flies
and with the wind it finds
a new call to life
a new fall to write

marcescent

why are these pinecones so big?

Leave it all in a pen and a paper
(Your thoughts are not your now
The times you fought made you alone now)
Though she falls, he still feels he can save her
(In time you'll find a way out
It's crossed your mind, was it your own doubt?)

You always tend to think of what you lose
Now she writes about the things you used to do
Just a pen is what she thinks of you
And another night the story's in your view

Read those lines
That you wrote for another
Friendship or lover?
Take your time
Remind me you're stubborn
And reach for the cupboard
Just grab a knife
Or smash all the dishes
And break what I wish is
The last time
Fore you make an addition
You write what you listened

You always tend to think of what you lose
Now she writes about the things you used to do
Just a pen is what she thinks of you
And another night the story's in your view

Author

One time he said
"I wish I could say that I love myself"
He watched as he sat on the bench by himself
For hours now
He heard that he's wed 
And he never cared about how she felt
It gets in his head that he's loved but oh well
Is that really sound?

All the rumors 
But he says that he's fine can't you tell
You don't know anything 
But you can't seem to help yourself
He's helped you through it
I don't think that it's love it's something else
Is it really something else?

He left town though
One day he'll call my phone I hope
He's the best he's found though
I'll wait for you to come back home
Three years have gone by
You appear by my side and pretend
It hasn't been years since you left in the end

All the rumors
But he says that he's mine can't you tell
You're learning everything 
But you can't seem to help yourself
You'll help him through it 
‘Cause I know that it's love, nothing else
Is it really something else?

Me and Clayekea have been trying to make a collab for so long, I swear this was like our fifth attempt, and even this one barely made it to the end. After like a month of working on it we both lost steam until I came back across it a while later and just knew I really wanted to finish it. 

I adore Clayekea's work so much and creating something with them has been such a dream, I'm so glad this track made it to the finishing line

In terms of meaning, I don't really know, I didn't write the lyrics

[LYRICS]
And maybe I dreamed it all
it took a miracle to come back to me when you left
I'd thought I'd seen it all
it gets so difficult when all of your words fill my head

But I believed it all
you took my fear and called it over and freed me instead
yeah, I wish I'd dreamed it all
and maybe then I will be able to breathe once again

And maybe I dreamed it all
it took a miracle to come back to me when you left
I thought I'd seen it all
it gets so difficult when all of your words fill my head

And maybe I dreamed it all
And maybe I dreamed it all
And maybe I dreamed it all
And maybe I dreamed it all

And maybe I dreamed it all
it took a miracle to come back to me when you left
I'd thought I'd seen it all
it gets so difficult when all of your words fill my head

But I believed it all
you took my fear and called it over and freed me instead
yeah, I wish I'd dreamed it all
and maybe then I will be able to breathe once again

Breathe (w/Clayekea)

A fox and a mouse
Up late, roaming about this town
The time I saw them under the street light
It was real in my eyes

The Fox and the Mouse

Lay down at the summer house
Bug bites on skin that we shouldn't show
Cicadas show it's summer now
Dew lights up the grass with the morning glow

I wonder if there's any time
To kiss you and close both your eyes
A secret we'll hold for our lives
Feel like lovebirds in disguise

Light up tons of fireworks
Ice pops dripping on my brand new shirt
I didn't think that this would hurt
As bad as it does but I'll never learn

If you could ever be mine
I'll love you for all my life
And through all the pain and the strife
A kiss from you will make it alright

But some day you must fly away
The time we had, the things I couldn't say
And I thought our dreams were the same
A memories of voice and your face

So I wonder if there is still time
To kiss forever this life
I'll hold you till I finally die
But were still lovebirds in disguise

And I thought our dreams were the same
But after I saw you, could I be to blame
The sun won't rise early, the moon is out late
'Cause after that summer, the birds flew away
I picture the flower you put in my hair
When we dismissed the forecast 'cause we didn't care
If it rained, and it poured, we sat under the tree
You laughed, so I smiled, as we sat underneath

In the middle of woods, where nobody could see
My heart beat like a drum and I barely could breathe
I said "give me a second" but you fell asleep
On my shoulder, your head rested 'til we could leave
We returned to the house, tomorrow I go home
So we made our big promise when we were alone
We'd remember these days until we finally die
The summer we were...
