small talk with your friends
it just so happens
you left me a promise
unfulfilled again

small talk with my friends
it just so happens
i latched on to a promise
unspoken
your hair in my face
your laugh reverberates
in my head, what you said
has me stuck in that day

your car on my street
parked beneath the plum tree
sometimes in my dreams
i still hear you knocking
we sit at my place
talking to you doesn't feel like a waste of time

trying not to pretend
you know what happens
lie and say it again
a sweet reminder
looking over your shoulder
i'll lose it too
it helps that i'm honest
when i'm with you

small talk with your friends
don't let this happen
i flew over treetops
just to get some distance
perspective is useless from this point of view
i know i am biased when i speak of you

small talk / calm down
rebalance / react
you answer with silence
you're not coming back
break down / fall back
you kept me intact
i reject the notion that you have what i lack

small talk (with mostyn)

what are you afraid of 

she said "let's go home 
i'm tired and i'm only 
holding on to you because 
i need someone to listen closely 
to the words i say 
i know i'm no good at composing 
all my thoughts, i pray 
you'll let me know if i'm imposing" 

what are you afraid of 
talking to you is my biggest fear 
what are you afraid of 
that the words i say won't be the ones you hear

what are you afraid of

fly by off north lamar 
we're driving downtown in your orange car 
i'm tired and you're tired too 
but it's easier being tired with you 

i let this city eat me inside out 
give me a dose of morphine, let me shout 
at the top of your lungs, the whole world's in our mouths 
we'll blow smoke til we're gone, let our souls fizzle out 

fly by off north lamar 
we're driving downtown in your orange car 
i'm tired and you're tired too 
but it's easier being tired with you 

black eye, we're two for two 
i'm down one shot but you've had a few 
it's a nightmare but we're on our way 
we're gonna find out why someday 

and when we're down and out of play 
we'll scream at each other til we're almost okay 
forget the sound, don't call my name 
just bring me salvation in the form of your face

a stream of consciousness, i don't know what to do with this 
i heard from you on monday night after a week of oversight 
i wish you'd only let me see a version of you more discreet 
there's some place i would rather be, of this we can agree 

i used to think of you on days that i had more to do 
of rain that fell down on the streets and soaked your laundry and your sheets 
but we were sitting in my car, we never did go very far 
there's someone else i'd rather be when you are next to me 

rain fell down on your face 
i hope your laundry blows away

a stream of consciousness

if everything i said was met with 
silence of first degree 
don't you think it might be better 
to cut down this olive tree 

what will it take for you to 
hear the words i can't speak 
you know i'll just misconstrue your 
silence for harsh critique 

why do i need a reason 
to be polite 
where's the breeze in 
the air tonight 
won't you leave 
right before my eyes 
need a reason 

why do i need a reason 
to stay the night 
i don't believe in 
your candlelight 
you fell asleep 
right before my eyes 
i need a reason

silence

if nothing more, this has taught me patience. i wrote these songs in the stairwell next to my dorm last year and recorded them at home over the past months. i'm grateful i can share something so important to me, i hope you can enjoy something on here.

a big thankyou to my best friend sebastian sabatin for mastering it<3

this kind of weight it is hard to hold
i can't keep it up no not at all

i'm sick and tired but i can't sleep
he finds his way into all my dreams

i sink into the mattress springs
so i don't have to watch october leave
so i don't have to watch october leave

i'll keep my plastic memories
of tinted lights in our hometown streets

weeks go by and i'm still the same
i wonder if i'll always feel this way

stars blend into their static screens
so i don't have to watch october leave
so i don't have to watch october leave
