see you

I’d try to give it all
To fade the static of whispered dreams
Painted in the dark
How can I try hard enough 

I keep seeing my own visions masking the picture of his face
All I want is to 
Hope that the picture will change

Drift between sleeping times
Where all my love I cannot hide 
To forfeit all just to say that
You can stay here

I keep seeing my own visions masking the picture of his face
All I want is to 
Hope that the picture will change

Visions

A dreamy gaze-pop song about the changing nature of female friendships.

Laura

two tall willows talk to me about what’s in the frame
magpies creak and my floors weep itll never be the same
my eyes freak and flowers seep it’ll never be the perfect same
i spent time inside your chest your heart is where i’ll be
arteries are clogging up it’s what you chose to see
throw memories down the drain it’ll never be the fucking same

Suavecito

Just played around a bit with pitching up spitfire intimate strings and vespertone.

A song about looking for a home and being tired of renting...and maybe light a blunt to

Perfect Girl

These 5 tracks are a small gathering of unfinished, alternatively-styled, or laid back demos that I made to display the acoustics of my living room and my emotional state in relation to day-to-day things.

Originally I had set out to do multiple different projects of varying genres, so some don't quite fit in with one another, but over time I fell into the understanding that anything I write can be modified if you know where the soul of the words are. Style can be reprogrammed with different reverbs, echoes, tones of voice, and so I wanted to bring it all together under Neighbor Kids.

Some day I would like to record some of these as fully-fleshed concepts (in the case of Wanderin, we have), and see where they fit in the timeline of my life and of the band's life. But until then, they sit here, before Icarus. So people know who I am, and know where I come from. I hope they enjoy the words and the cute silly little lines, because I enjoyed putting it together.
