New & hot: Folk & Singer-Songwriter

This is one of the more collaborative tracks that I worked on with Zantilla. This song, like a few of the others, was the result of our idea to mix synthwave with "metal". Fairly different from anything I've done before.

Additional writing by Adrian Shegstad.

all summer / we would fall in
the lake water / now its frozen

all that ice / shining in the moonlight
i can’t see through
and it's so quiet / i’m leaving when the crow flies
but they’re waiting on the sunrise
and i’m waiting on you

funny how our plans all break / on the moment
funny how we run to the gate / as it closes
what if i faded away / would you notice
swimming in words that’ll stay / unspoken

i guess i won’t have the chance to say it
i’ll just carry all the words away
and i believe you had the best intentions
but it's too late
and it's so quiet / i can hear the minutes go by
i can’t see em in the low light / but i know that they do

and i’ve been here standing in the waves / for the longest
tell me would it kill you to say / that you noticed
it's funny how tryna keep it safe / you broke it
now think of all the words that’ll stay / unspoken

funny how everything can change / in a moment
funny how i swam in the lake / when it was snowing
funny how you can only break / what’s unbroken
but it's still hardest to say / what's unspoken

that i loved you / more than i knew

spotify etc.

You reminded me alot of myself.
i didnt necessarily agree with everything you said or that was said about you and even though I tried hard to not like you at first, I couldn't deny something special when I saw and heard it.
its almost as if the light had shone through the darkness, no matter what.

I always wished we had met one day, I had daydreams about it. there were many things I would've told you and some part of me thinks I could've changed the way things went if I just had started a little earlier.

I don't remember a whole lot about the day the incident happened but I remember a girl in front of me on the train, who kept side-eyeing me as if she was into me, while talking about someone else she knew was truly in love with her. 
still not sure how I feel about that.

don't wanna make this about myself anymore but this is just me being honest.

this is for you

thank you for existing

Never got around to finishing this track. Can't remember if Zantilla wrote anything for it. This was going to be on the album.

Return To Earth

Here's another teaser from the upcoming EP. \m/

Heavy Teaser

Crestfallen and crushed at the brink again
Transmitting the immeasurable grief of mother earth
A vessel for her agony
A channel for her pain
*            *             *
As the masquerade fades away
In the wandering wind I will be

Crestfallen

I did not record the tracks/create the sound FX samples. I do not own the song either.
