A raw, one-take recording of a song about obsession, unraveling, and the slow collapse of control. 

Lyrics

V1
My baby loves to watch me
From my crowds
He says I spark so brightly
I’m burnin out
All those rendezvous in the dark
Never made it far, you left your mark
Feeling like I’m drowning, but I’m thankful, so grateful 

My baby loves to see me 
On a ride
The way he never leaves me
Better than any high
I say you’re mine, and I’m yours
Kinda sounds like a joke
Some vows are made to be broken, forgotten

Chorus
But you can’t sleep
Without me
It’s a need

[You feel it too?]

V2
My baby loves to know me
Inside out
He yearns for my affection
I know he does
You do
You do 
You do 
You do

Chorus
Cause you can’t breathe
Without me
It’s a need

[I know you do]

Bridge
Waking up next you in my head
Dreamin' bout all the things you never said
I close my eyes and you’re there
You pull me by my hair
I feel you, don’t go
I see you, I know
Every inch of you, your soul

Chorus
Now I can’t sleep
I can’t breathe
It’s a need 

[It’s a need]

It's a Need - Single Take Demo

A raw, one-take recording of a song about emotional exposure, withheld truths, and the quiet desperation of knowing too much yet so little.

Lyrics

V1
He whispers my name like a prayer
Then he’s gone
He strips me bare by the layer
Til' morning comes

Tell me pretty darling what to do
I’ll follow through, for you
There’s nothin to hide between you and me
It’s just the dark, drowning me

A peak to fall from
Shatter together, into the sea
Watch it curl around our bones
Feel it seep into the skin

Pre-chorus
Pull me under, I beg
Let’s leave nothing unsaid
Let me peek into your head
Let me see how much you’ve bled

Chorus 
Let the barriers fall
Let the truth take 
Let it root through
Our mistakes

Tell me that it’s real
You know what you feel
You feel the fall 
I know it all 
I know it all 
I know it all

V2
He leads me into sin
My own lullaby 
He pulls me, the deep end
Holds me when I cry

All those memories
All the marks you leave
You’re the air I breathe
Just fall into me

Pre-chorus
Please don’t make me beg
Tell me what you leave unsaid
Don’t keep it in your head
Let me see how much you’ve bled 

Chorus 
Let the barriers fall
Let the truth take 
Let it root through
Our mistakes

Tell me that it’s real
You know what you feel
You feel the fall 
I know it all 
I know it all 
I know it all

Bridge
Don’t pretend
You didn’t see then
I saw you weep
I saw you need 
You came to me
Don’t you leave

Chorus 
Let the barriers fall
Let the truth take 
Let it root through
Our mistakes

Tell me that it’s real
You know what you feel
You feel the fall 
I know it all 
I know it all 
I know it all

Know it All  - Single Take Demo

A raw, one-take recording about feeling futile against the passage of time, how dreams quietly destroy us - but still trying again despite it all.

Lyrics

V1
Waste the day away 
Livin’ inside my head 
Thinkin’ bout futures passed
And a past yet to’ve been 

Seven to ten
Can’t remember who I’ve been 
Now the dust settles in
My reflection tries again

Pre-Chorus
Oh, my dove 
See it from my side 
See the way I try to leave it all behind
Oh, my love 
There’s some things you must abide 
Like the oceans of emotion that make up my mind 
 
Chorus
Wander in, you’re swept under, drownin’ 
What a blunder that must’ve been 
Would you care to try again? 
Holding on, to a world that breaks you in 
Almost lost as we begin
Would you care to try again?
Would you care 
Would you care

V2
Watching sands drift by 
Thinkin’ “there’s always time” 
Time to pay the dues of yesterday 

What a pretty lie 
Told all through life 
One day you’ll look and see 
It’s not how it seemed to be 
The pages you’d written out
Burned it all to the ground

Pre-Chorus
Oh, my love 
See it from my side 
See the way I try to leave it all behind
Oh, my dove 
Don’t cast me aside
Don’t leave me to the changes of the tides
 
Chorus
Wander in, you’re swept under, drownin’ 
What a blunder that must’ve been 
Would you care to try again? 
Holding on, to a world that breaks you in 
Almost lost as we begin
Would you care to try again?
Would you care 
Would you care

Bridge
I had it all figured out
All my chapters written out
That soft summer breeze
Swept it out from under me 
How to move forward?
What to look toward?
What else have I been blind to?

Chorus
Wander in, you’re swept under, drownin’ 
What a blunder that must’ve been 
Would you care to try again? 
Holding on, to a world that breaks you in 
Almost lost as we begin
Would you care to try again?
Would you care 
Would you care

Wander in
drownin’ 
Holding on
All so lost
Would you care to try again?
Would you care to try again?
