"I wanted to rediscover that positive energy I had as a kid, I was the biggest showoff. That simple rush of climbing a tree to impress a girl, landing the perfect kickflip on my skateboard, or attempting to jump off the roof to see if I could fly like Superman (thankfully my Mom stopped me on that one). I wanted to get back the power to believe in myself, and see the world as I once did through the eyes of my younger self. This song is full of playful nostalgia, and a reminder to not take ourselves so seriously" - Alexander Saint

Showoff

Thank You

BETTER

Take me back, to when we were better men
Held up our heads, so the demons wouldn't escape again
It's such a beautiful lie, we tell ourselves while we sleep
We dream it every night, a vivid tragedy

If only we all could see

Keep them clean, those hands made of ivory
It's just expected, that history will repeat
Again and again

When you look in our eyes, tell me what it is you see
Another thief in the night, or a hopeless soul in need

If only we all could see
Just give us the light to see
Just give us the light

A thousand deaths and still, you let the darkness spill
Fuck every word you say, and just give us the light to help us see

The Light

This is a song I wrote about an ex, but I wanted to tell it through the lens of a B-horror movie. I want the listeners to feel stranded out at sea, lost to old throws of a lingering passion that keeps you tethered to a sinking boat, like a curse of a siren. The song is intentionally equal parts creepy and chaotic, a view into the realization for me that the person I really cared about doesn't feel the same, and isn't coming back to save me.
