“I want to be you / but I never want to say the truth to you” — it captures that mix of vulnerability and emotional detachment that defines late-night overthinking.

Lyrics

I cant get you out of my out of my head
But I got no feelings left 
And I’m filled with eternal dread 
When will I wake up

I can feel you watching stalking 
Tell me are you listening 
I can feel it when I’m with him
Tell me do you feel the same

Now I’m stuck here tryna figure it out 
Can’t remember the last time 
That I cried and let it out 
I hope you get the message 

I want you to change my mind 
Say this happens all the time 
Even though I know it’s a lie 
Say you’ll be different this time 
I want you to change my mind 
Say this happens all the time 
Even though I know it’s a lie 
Say you’ll be different this time 

And now everywhere I go I know
You’ll find a way to come along 
In my head
Don’t you wanna know who’s sleeping in my bed
Ill act like it’s my biggest regret
While I’m yearning in secret
Maybe I’ll tell someone I just met 
Wonder if you feel it yet 
I can’t remember how to smile
My paranoias driving me wild 
Hide under blankets like a child
I’m trying not to make a sound

I want you to change my mind 
Say this happens all the time 
Even though I know it’s a lie 
Say you’ll be different this time 
I want you to change my mind 
Say this happens all the time 
Even though I know it’s a lie 
Say you’ll be different this time 

I want you to change my mind 
Change my mind

Wedding Day

I'm all about your shade tonight
i like ur tattoss
its excites me to the point of trembling

Mascara smears when you cries — but you laughs like you knew that would happen
I just like looking at your, even if you is silent and looks away
(that's you)
I like being your accessory, something you can use, throw away, put on again - I don't mind
I adore those black eyes, not because they are dark,
but because pain dissolves so beautifully in them

I'm all about your shade tonight
i like ur tattoss shade tonight
its excites me to the point of trembling

When your voice shatters in whispers,
I want to hold every broken piece in my chest,
let it cut me open, let it bleed out slow,
so you can see how devotion looks when it finally hurts enough.
Your lipstick tastes like rust,
but it burns sweeter than sugar when it cuts across my mouth.
(bleed into me, breathe into me)
I wanna your nails, I wanna your scars
I wanna the bruise where love pretends to hurt
i wanna ur eyes like collapsing stars
i wanna ur all cuz this only be mine

I'm all about your shade tonight
i like ur tattoss shade tonight
its excites me to the point of trembling
hu-uh

"how to pretend" is an 6 track ep, which we put together in memory of a friend, who took her life. how to pretend, refers to the feeling of having to pretend you're something you're not. hopefully, you relate.

V1 
And life all just play pretend 
And I believe my dreams are real, still 
Playing over tapes in my mind 
and reality’s the case behind

If life is all just one quest to align  
I’m drawing lines around water lines 
So many other possibilities 
and it all begins to make sense to me 

Ch1
Once I’m in safe arms
I don’t need an alarm
Just let me open 
it's all in my head 
Until you see just what I said 
Slowly unfolding 

V2 
If life is more than just space and time 
Then I guess I’m not falling too far behind 
Too many unknown callers on the line 
And they’re intense with their two cents
When they haven’t even tried
Said we can all play pretend, it just a frame of mind 

Ch2
Once I’m in safe arms
I don’t need an alarm
Just let me open 
It's all in my head 
Until you see just what I said 
Slowly unfolding 

Outro 
Hey, hey
Do you really want to stay here? 
Don’t you know you can play here

Play Pretend

When flooded out
When you flood it out, so miserable
Trauma shocks the brain
As I run away

Ever since I was a kid
Wolves circled my head
Darkness encircles it
False bottoms within

When the lungs run out
Of oxygen, understandable
And the silhouette
Stops swimming

There's no one out
Hide the lights
The Culm Measures speaking to me like a murder 
Long since forgotten about





Culm Measures

This new indie album is my way of capturing the feeling of autumn nights, quiet rooms, and the strange beauty of being close to someone while the world fades outside. The songs are minimal in words but heavy in mood — sweaters, rain, shadows, and light all becoming part of the story. It’s melancholic but also cosy, a blend of intimacy and distance, memory and desire. These tracks live somewhere between Fleetwood Mac’s mysticism, Beach House synths and the hazy trance of indie and dream-pop.
