"I’m seeing the world from a newfound perspective. I see movement. I see pressure. From within  and outside of myself I see a world driven by pressure and stress. ‘Get with it, or you’re out.’  Within ‘Mendenhall’ I use the metaphor of a glacier, that moves under the pressure of its own  weight. Ice that melts under this pressure to become melt water allows the big mass of ice to  move forward. But the melted water was once also part of the moving mass." - Zes

✧ Lyrics
Catch up with the current
Live up to the burden
Your safety’s in numbers
When you’re never alone

Froze up with a question
Of a slow flowing river, a
Counterpart of the blessing
Your secret’s safe with us

[So so you can feel]
[So you can feel alive]

Broken self perception
Lay, flat out cold
Drumming up a storm on the spot
Left no room for love

So you can feel
[I know]
So you can feel
So you can feel alive
[Is there more than that]
So you can feel
Your secret’s safe for us

[So so you can feel]
[So you can feel alive]

Fleeting force of habit
On a stone cold
Path
Counterpart of obsessing
Is that we’re never alone

Move on from the question
Of a slow flowing river
Taken by self acceptance
Your secret’s saving us

✧ Lyrics
Carelessly we pass
The hours in your room
Afraid to feel so I just
Ghost

Are you being honest
With the way you stray away
Stuck inside a moment
I chose

I can't feel like
I'm forgetting you
I can't feel like
I'm forgetting you

Ghost, but if it was by Jon Brion

I wrote and produced this song solo when I was struggling with anxiety and depression. I wrote it as a reminder to myself.

your best is different every day

Till We're Falling

sleep alone

written by Anh Le and Charlie Kurata 
produced by Charlie Kurata

[Verse 1]
I wanna swing
Lean back and kick up my feet
Turn into a little kid
It won't work, but I wish it did

[Verse 2]
What would I give
To fight and get mad at my friends
Hear an apology
And that'd be enough for me
Oh



[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere in the decades
Somewhere in the, somewhere in the mess I made, oh
I let it get all complicated
Started giving in on all my expectations
I'm lost, but I'm running like I'm racing
It's my world, but I'm ruining and saving
Midnight, and it's just another day but, oh

[Chorus]
Guess I'm turning twenty-four
Whether or not I'm ready for it
I'm ready for it
Getting myself this far
Might as well say I'm rеady for it
I'm ready for it

[Verse 3]
Wishing of candles on the cakе
I could be ten or eighty-eight
I'm still gonna have the same old questions
Like if I met "younger me" today
And give her advice, would she listen?
Would she like the life I've been living?
Broke my heart and slammed a few doors
Had to learn to like me some more
[Bridge]
my life is not a movie
But I've got moments
Like pictures in frames I've went and stolen
Kissing right before I board a plane
Calling my mother everyday
Right now when I need a quick escape
I think I'm gonna be okay

[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere in the decades
Somewhere in the, somewhere in the mess I made, oh
I let it get all complicated
Started giving in on all my expectations
I'm lost, but I'm running like I'm racing
It's my world, but I'm ruining and saving
The twenty-first is just another day but, hm

[Chorus]
Guess I'm turning twenty-four
Whether or not I'm ready for it
I'm ready for it
Getting myself this far
Might as well say I'm ready for it
I'm ready for it

All Wrong Is Alright

A track about impermanence 

Lyrics:

I've been round
And saw the wind moving through the ground
A burial mound
Of roots, rocks, leaves and
I heard a voice
Coming from the depths with ancient poise
A sound from the void
That said

If dust to dust then 
Just be dust to shake
And make some noise
Oh children of the soil
Hear the sound of my bones
A clarion call 
Fleeting through my corpse
My ever changing hue

Rhythm 
The only constant thing in life is the rhythm
Of changes
The pace of every living thing's mutation
I play a beat to a melody as irregular as I
Heard upon terrestrial dins
Hidden in secluded wills

If dust to dust then 
Just be dust to shake
And make some noise
Oh children of the soil
Hear the sound of my bones
A clarion call 
Fleeting from my corpse
My ever changing you

Soil

Been feeling nostalgic lately, so I built a time machine and recorded these songs. One of them is new, and one of them is a re-working of an older song from my first album. I hope you like them.

LYRICS:

I never cared much for baseball, anyway
But by the time that it crossed my mind
I guess it was too late
‘Cause I’d already made a commitment 
To the team
Now I try to stay away from those
Perhaps something’s wrong with me
Christopher punched me in the chest
When I was thirteen
I went home and cried
‘Cause I didn’t know why
But he was probably hurting more than me
I was afraid my heart might stop
In my sleep
But it was all in my head
Sometimes my imagination
Gets the best of me

So throw me a pop fly
While I’m chasing butterflies in centerfield
America’s pastime
So much can change in twenty years
Ooh

When I was sixteen, I fell in love with a girl
And one day she invited me
To come to her youth group after school
And when I arrived 
I was taken by surprise
When she fell to her knees
People were speaking in tongues
At the top of their lungs
And I just wanted to leave

So take me back in time
Where I’m chasing butterflies in centerfield
America’s pastime
That’s what I’ll say in twenty years
Ooh

Ooh, throw me a pop fly
While I’m chasing butterflies in centerfield
America’s pastime
Haven’t felt this alive in years
Ooh

I never cared much for baseball, anyway
But by the time that it crossed my mind
I guess it was too late

LYRICS:

How can you know me
I don’t even understand myself
But whenever you say my name
I’m convinced that I have it all figured out

And how can you trust me
The truth is distilled by my filter mouth
As careful as I try to be with my words
Eventually something pernicious slips out

‘Cause I am a heathen
But I have seen God in your eyes
The Garden of Eden
It gave me a false sense of paradise

How can I miss you
When I am still carrying your ghost
It lives in my head, and it keeps me in bed
I never used to believe in those

‘Cause I am a heathen
But I have seen God in your eyes
The Garden of Eden
It gave me a false sense of paradise
And you are a hedonist
But I have seen pain in your eyes
‘Cause angels and demons
They can’t coexist in paradise

I am a heathen
Give me something to believe in
Angels and demons
We don’t belong here in paradise

Well I’m crazy 
from the moment I wake up 
the first thing I think of 
is you 
and last night 

my dreams 
are making things much worse
want you so bad that is hurts 
it’s true 

it’s 7 am, I already know, you’re walking your dog in the park… 
I could hop on the train and make my way there 
I just wanna be where you are 

oh!
I’ll never be the chill type 
I’m the real type who 
oh!
I know how I get like 
when it feels right (yeah) 
I’m coming off needy
 a little bit desperate
 a little bit manic
but I wouldn’t change it 
nah nah nah 
I’m always gonna be the type, be the type, by type who’s 

Needy 
Desperate 
Manic 
but I like that! 
Needy 
Desperate 
Manic 
but I like that! 

I hit you up when I miss you 
but I miss you all the time 
I don’t wanna just see you 
I need to break my way into your life 
I’m making up all this stuff in my head
too late to regret anything that I said 
I hit you up when I miss you 

it’s what I do 

it’s 11 pm, and you’re drunk at bar, with one of the girls that I know…
her face on your screen I know what that means 
I doubt you’ll be sleeping alone 
UGH!


oh!
I’ll never be the chill type 
I’m the real type who 
oh!
I know how I get like 
when it feels right (yeah) 
I’m coming off needy
 a little bit desperate
 a little bit manic
but I wouldn’t change it 
nah nah nah 
I’m always gonna be the type, be the type, by type who’s 

Needy 
Desperate 
Manic 
but I like that! 
Needy 
Desperate 
Manic 
but I like that! 

it’s 7 am, I already know 
it’s 8am, I already know 
it’s 9am, I already know 
I just wanna be where you are….


oooh yeah 



oh!
I’ll never be the chill type 
I’m the real type who 
oh!
I know how I get like 
when it feels right (yeah) 
I’m coming off needy
 a little bit desperate
 a little bit manic
but I wouldn’t change it 
nah nah nah 
I’m always gonna be the type, be the type, by type who’s 

Needy 
Desperate 
Manic 
but I like that! 
Needy 
Desperate 
Manic 
but I like that! 

Needy 
Desperate 
Manic 
but I like that! 
Needy 
Desperate

do you like that? yeah!
