this time [demo]

“Slow Burn Baby” is not a finished product. The point of releasing this EP has nothing to do with the physical EP itself. The sharing of this collection of my songs is a public commitment to myself, to my dreams, and to my own creativity. I want this EP to be a reminder to me and anyone who is open to it, that life is process, not product. That life is more than a list of achievements, more than perfectionist ideals, more than becoming “successful”. I recommit to embracing all of this process, not just the moments of joy and peace, but to uncertainty, pain, chaos and failure - all of which were present in the making of this EP, in the making of any creative work, and in the making of any life. You cannot have light without the dark, even if it is just a Slowly Burning ember.

Slow Burn Baby, it took a long time to get here. But it was fire and light all the way.

Love, Liz

This song is the hit single of my heart right now.

It was inspired by the feeling of Guilt!

It's about all the lies that we tell ourselves to justify the things that we've done.
And how we begin to read between our own self-deceptions when we are ready to face our own truth - 

We don't have to prove that we are Good, it is the fundamental state of every person.

We all do bad things sometimes, and that is okay, it does not make You a bad person.

Take responsibility for what has been done, see it for what it is, don't be too hard on Yourself, 
You did the best You could
Now come back to the Good - 

Tread sincerely.

Gratitude to my Lovecloud <3 <3 <3
And Thank You to Max (@max-808814741) for the recommendation that helped inspired this song.

Lyrics:

My instincts can’t stand on the soaking abandon
That sits on my spine like a ball on a pen.
The blackest of fears engineer souvenirs, 
Defending their home like a wolf does it’s den.  

Hello Guilt, 
You’re just in time to justify
 The Pile I built.
 To put to sleep the bad bad black sheep, 
Write lullabies, spell La-la-lies. 
These are the high signs, 
To read between the little white lines. 

Spoke a little too loud, and it all came tumbling down
You know I’ll be gone by the end of the day
Start over again, I’ll forget where I’ve been
Turn a blind eye to the mess I won’t claim

Hello Guilt, 
You’re just in time to justify
 The Pile I built.
 To put to sleep the bad bad black sheep, 
Write lullabies, spell La-la-lies. 
These are the high signs, 
To read between the little white lines. 

I did a bad thing,
 Goodbye - Lost cause, 
Am I a bad person? 
Am I an outlaw?

Hello Guilt, 
You’re just in time to justify
 The Pile I built.
 To put to sleep the bad bad black sheep, 
Write lullabies, spell La-la-lies. 
These are the high signs, 
To read between the little white lines.
