Hi! Another addition to my EP, and a song inspired by being.... a human. Haha.

-----

watched the world move
from my window
driving slow is
all I know now

baby if you left it to me
I wouldn't have let you leave
but I'm just a speck here
in the general scheme of things

the sun bears down on me
it frames everything i love
and if I'm different at night
it's only cause I've had enough

of self-isolation and
of grating fear
and i need you now badly
but you'll never hear that
coming from me,
I'm fine, I'm good
I'm great
i've got so much to do
but nothing to say

baby if you left it to me
I wouldn't have let you leave
but I'm just a speck here
in the general scheme of things

darling the number one rule
is not to rely on me
i always find you looking for my heart underneath my sleeves
i always find you looking for my heart underneath my sleeves

I'm just a speck here in the general scheme of things

General Scheme Of Things (Final)

THE FINAL VERSION OF SECOND NATURE!!!
My fave in the EP. WHICH IS LAUNCHING ON WEDNESDAY
BE THERE OR BE SQUARE


straight, no flair
just downed a shot
i'm ready
and now I think I'm brave enough
to meet your stare
you make me laugh and claim 
that you'd love to know me 

but I admit I'm shy
I know that you're trying 
to get me to talk
but all I do is smile
at all the things you say
you think you're so clever
well I guess, you're right
and that's why I'm afraid
cause I'm the cautious kind
a flight risk personified
as you work your charm
I'm letting down my guard 
and by the seventh glass
we're dancing up a storm   
 
You take my hand
and you walk me through
it, say there's no secret to it
I want a love that is second nature,
guess/so can you give it to me (2x)

that stupid set of
white teeth
ls like your evil disguise
soaked in red wine
and like a precious pearly gate to your mind
you're cruel enough to be funny
and too cool to be mine
you're still too cool to be mine
i know we won't remember
anything that happens tonight
and it's too good to be true
so it shouldn't be right

i'm a bit too loose
for serious talk
and the most you'll get out of me
is my love for socks
and what I wore
that time for halloween
i was thirteen
I didn't give a damn 
about what people said about me
but now here you are

never gonna
never gonna get it back
never gonna
never gonna get it back

you take my hand
and you walk me through
it, say there's no secret to it
I want a love that is second nature,
so can you give it to me

Second Nature (Final)

co-produced with nick lazaro of moonwlk/twin lobster! a new single off my upcoming album, details soon. 
--------
i breathe the static scene
without the grain or noise
toss me a livewire lifeline
right into the void

i want something that leaves me breathless, need a night that leaves me floored
if you can give me something different, then that's all that I've been looking for

so bring your pretty face
and being your pretty car
tell me the kind of things you've never said out loud before
but I don't need your love
i mean i’ve had enough
so take me out, take me up, take me on 

same routine
staring at the screen
well there’s the black and white
and I’m stuck in between
i breathe the static scene
without the grain or noise
toss me a livewire lifeline
right into the void

so bring your pretty face
and being your pretty car
tell me the kind of things you've never said out loud before
but I don't need your love
i mean i’ve had enough
so take me out, take me up, take me on 

Pretty Car

my backspace button’s worn
from the things i never said
i never can afford
to be casual instead
but if you could be so kind
don’t remind me that i’m blindly hung up over you

do i seem to care too much
with how i pretend not to care
you’re too cool for me
but i guess you’re not aware
that i exist but it’s okay
i’ll be over it someday
you’ll look me in the eye
and i won’t melt right in my place
but i really hate your face
and how it it makes me wanna cry
there’s an ache in my dumb heart
that only passes when you smile
and it shines for miles
it reminds me that i’m blindly hung up over you

would you still be just as kind
if you knew what’s on my mind
i’m stifling a sigh
and i hope she treats you right
and the things i’ll never say
will cease to tear me up inside
the feelings bottled up within
will someday crystallize
into memories so nice
that remind me i was once so hung up over you
