heavenly coal
touching my soul
tryna control my fate
starting to know
how to keep hold

battered and bloody, i’ve actually done it
and with the same damn skill that got me here in the first place
it seems the curse takes sabbatical leave
and travels off to battle with celestial beings
an animal beckons down to me from a cliff
i glance and then i trip, falling over tryna get a grip

tryna let these bygones be bygones
still a caterpillar but i’ll turn into a icon
singing sweet soliloquys of cotton turning nylon
beauty blossoming up from a single ion
precious as a python 
‘til i’m gone from this rusty globe
or the oceans and the land implode

heavenly coal
touching my soul
tryna control my fate
starting to know
how to keep hold

I USED TO THINK (prod. nebita)

a song about getting up and tripping up once again. i find myself bearing greater weight to continue to grow. 

written, produced, and arranged by gabe perez.

(album version otw)

pendulum song

this project captures some of the struggle, destruction, and ultimate rebirth of the last couple of years of my life. “plusminus” signifies the coexistence of happy and sad feelings at all times, and that both are necessary to take in for your spiritual and personal growth.

i’d like to thank all of my friends and family that supported me throughout this process! special thanks to kale and tony - without their brilliant musicianship, earnest communication, and blissful friendship, this project would not be what it is today. my greatest thanks of all go to jo :)) i couldn’t have done any of this without you! your loving and grounding presence keeps me going every day, and your keen creative eye and kind listening ear shaped the sensory experience of this record irreplaceably. i love you!!

all songs written, arranged, and produced by me
bass guitar: kale townshend (track 2, 7), tony batey (track 5)
photography: jo malicdem

a call to prayer, a suspension of regret becomes a cry for release

thank you for trusting me ❤️

lyrics:
i tried to
rehearse what i would say so i could be there
to meet you
as the light grew
i can't imagine just how much i hurt you

in my head
endless galleries of every moment
as portraits
the other day i cried about it
eyes so red, i thought i saw you bleed

in my head
in my head
you're flying
in my head
in my head
you're flying
