Lyrics:

Only come around to tell me, 
life's better without me
Only come around to tell me, 
life's better without me
And though I won't admit it, 
I wish we talked like we once did

You told me kissed her in the kitchen 
Happy for you I tried to listen
You kept talking and I faded away
Pictured a world in which I say 
I'm sorry, couldn't be me
to give you the love you deserved

And now,
Only come around to tell me, 
life's better without me
Only come around to tell me, 
life's better without me
And though I won't admit it, 
I wish we talked like we once did

And I saw you at a bar, 
even close you felt far away
Told some friends that we dated
I said we didn't
which you hated

I'm not embarrassed that I loved you
Only embarrassed I didn't know how to,
find the words
for the feeligns
I was too busy , repressing 

And now, Only come around to tell me, 
life's better without me
Only come around to tell me, 
life's better without me
And though I won't admit it, 
I wish we talked like we once did

Do you miss me at all?
Do you ever fight the urge to call?
Do you miss me at all?
Because I fight the urge to call

I wanna come around and tell you
Life's worse off without you
I wanna come around and tell you
Life's worse off without you
and though I won't admit it, 
I miss you in it

And thought I won't admit it, 
I know you're better that you left it.

Come Around (demo)

It's a song about a moon, but not our moon.

Lyrics:

Enceladus

It feels so long to fly 
Even when you’re going fast
It’s all about perspective
Of the methods of the past
A flight around the world
Might take a couple days
But you’ll get back sooner
Than any other way

I might be thinking past a couple steps in the projection
But if this pace ain’t making space accept it as a lesson
If my time ain’t moving right I’ll try your recollection
And meet you up by Saturn light let’s mess with the reflection 

And I’ll see you on Enceladus

Fight against the wisdom
That might have made it hard
Lose the battle anyway
Come back cleverer and scarred
Learn something despite yourself
The spite makes it okay though
Push up more than daisies 
From the base of the volcano

I was trying harder just into the wrong direction
Patience is a saving grace accept it as a blessing
I look back in 20/20 check the retrospection
Meet you up by Saturn light let’s mess with the reflection

And I’ll see you on Enceladus

Futile Devices (Cover)

Rejoice (AJJ Cover)

a song about how desperately I want to be liked and cared for, so much so I'd change myself to get someone to stay.

Lyrics:
Not everyone likes you,
that's a hard pill to swallow.
What must I do, 
to get you to follow?
Where I lead,
oh I plead,
I'll be who you want me to be,
knead me,
I'll be,
whatever you choose for me. 

Not everyone wants to know you,
so what must you say,
To get them to stay?
I'll speak, 
help you, 
find something in me to keep. 
Oh, I plead,
Oh, I plead, 
I'll be who you want me to be.

whatever you want

A song about the complexity of remembering someone.

Lyrics:
I don't want to
remember you
With the bad
the good comes rushing too
making the grey
slightly blue
my favorite color 
tricking me to think of you.

I don't want to convince myself, 
to re-write this story for you, 
just kinda wish we'd never met. 
No shadow over me, 
just a drunken night of memory loss. 
(loss, loss)
memory loss. 
(loss, loss)

Thought I saw you in Chicago, 
unfortunately you're almost everywhere I go.
Thought I saw you on the East Coast, 
in the places I fear you the most. 
You're the little voice in my head saying,
"Don't try, they love you less, when you do."

I don't want to remember you,
With the bad
the good comes rushing too
making the grey
slightly blue
my favorite color 
tricking me into forgiving you. 

I don't want to convince myself, 
that anything you said could have helped, 
just kinda wish we'd never met 
no shadow over me
just a drunken night of memory loss. 
(loss, loss)
memory loss. 
(loss, loss)

And I saw you in the crowd
Even when you knew
Ya weren't invited
Just had to come and crash on in
because you knew, I wouldn't like it

No text could fix what happened then
Just admit it, we never friends 
I never want to hear your voice again
Goodbye, the end

Just kinda wish we'd never met
Just kinda wish you weren't my only regret
Just kinda wish we'd never met
So I wouldn't have to learn how to forget.

Sad Song.mp3 (acoustic demo)

A song about running into an ex-lover & friend, about passing time, about transition, and about mental health.

Lyrics:
Not that you care, but I went and cut my hair
And I no longer shave my legs
And I don't get how you can stare at me
Like we never shared a history 

And I keep wasting time 
thinking about you. 

Not that you know
but my mind is covered in a deep layer of snow
I went and moved through states
And I'm not doing so great
but i'm told, I'll make it through

What's the point, 
in living life, 
if I'm not next to you. 

So, I keep wasting time
wishing I lived a different life. 

I know I was never meant to be permanent (x2)
But, it hurts knowing you're too far to touch 
Oh, it hurts knowing you're too far to touch
Knowing someone else is close,
enough to touch. 

So, I keep wasting time
wishing you'd come back
and it'd all be different
this time.

Enceladus
