New Hope is 20 chronologically ordered recordings from the months of November 2023 - June 2024. Made with two microphones and a focusrite, the raw records play with room feedback and tape speed to reflect the sound of grieving while falling in love. Runtime is 90 minutes and gapless playback is recommended in a setting where you feel comfortable.

New Hope, Chapter I - The Great Divide

I ran home cuz I thought I was fired
And man all these joints are tired
And I said “wait” I was waiting for a serenade
Tell me everything about your damn day
Lay me out front if you threw a grenade
So why?
Do I seem distracted to you?
It’s beautiful to lay awake in my eyes

So watch it all be enough for you to take in
Watch it all be enough for you to let in
I tried to face the great divide
It only tired me out

Lyrics:
Synapsion 
I can't compete
Apologize
Between you and me

Ancient figures
Poets of which destruction has fed
I think I'll lay back down
And rest my head

Composure
Unrequitee
Oh, doctor
Hold the remedy

Deities
The power which I hold inside my hands
And yet all I wished for
Was one more chance

Bitter soil
Au revoir
Get your act together
Pick the pieces up
And maybe if we try again
You'll love me better this time
You'll love me better this time
You'll love me better this time

Cut the cord
Untie myself
And fall into your hue
To live once more
As I'm one sorry muse

I'm one sorry muse
I'm one sorry muse

LYRICS:
And I think that its pretty
watch and learn
put my hand on the trigger
pull it and earn
what I wanted it back
think I learned
shoot her 
shoot her
shoot her down
wouldn't know what to do but
talk her down
i think i wasted all i am now
I guess that its all my fault i tried
to shoot her
shoot her
shoot her
DOWN ! x24
shoulda called but i know you'll recognize
i got a lot to much that been on my mind I tried it
i know that you can tell me your alright
cause i been wasting all this time to think that im alive
and i don't care
left me outside of the comedown
when no ones ever even there
i know im not gonna feel how
how i am when im spilling all of this shit
i think its finally gon be how
i want to tell you who i am
but now im getting a way out
how i am when im spilling all of this shit?

and i think that its pretty
watch and learn
put my hand on the trigger
pull it and earn
what i wanted it back but
think iv learned
shoot her 
shoot her
shoot her down
it gets so loud
shoot her 
shoot her
shoot her down
just dont know how
cut me now
cut me now
i don't wanna figure this out
could be dead could be now!

New Hope, Chapter VII - honest
Recorded 2.1.24

oh, don't let em take my breath away again
oh, I'll live forever if I could, if I could
death only matters anyway 
if you have someone to share it with
promise I won't put you on a pedestal
I'll only love you forever
and the sun's getting hotter, oh
but my hope's getting bright
one day we'll have a baby, my love 
one day we'll have a baby
in each other's arms, I love you still
oh, I could look at those brown eyes forever, and see you still

only I know how to love forever
if I could love you still
and only my friends could catch a glipse of the spark
only from the start
read your funny books
and tell me everything inside them
read your funny books
and tell me fuckin' everything

i know the music ain't perfect yet anyway
what the fuck does that even mean?
i'm recording into a focusrite
to tell you i'll love forever

baby I had a dream that you and I were in a library

-st

hmm? (do it anyways)

New Hope, Chapter II - Red Spell

spells, we were talking bout spells
oh well, we were talking bout spells
hell, don't talk about hell
oh well, we were talking bout hell

now I see the difference don't you need me to rest
I swear my intuition tells me nothin' but the best
oh I need a good c---
so take your intuition, get your fuckin' inhibition out your mind
I don't need nobody here to see me whine
I'm crying, don't you see that I was only so depressed cause the best of the people that I had in my mind
oh why?

baby this is full regeneration, not the way I ride
I'm swimmin' no regrets and babe I only see the sky
I'm wonderin' bout the
woah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah standin' in the way

New Hope, Chapter III - Blue Spell

this isn't what it seems baby
I'm in a dream, and I'm doing fine
still running from the love that keeps me afraid
still loving how your hair looks when it's in a braid
fell for you when the moon hit the ground and I said "oh"
still waiting for the day to come when you say no
yeah

~

New Hope, Chapter IV - Green Spell

don't you believe?
don't you believe?
don't you we'll be fine, love

this isn't what it seems baby
I'm in a dream, and I'm doing fine
still running from the love that keeps me afraid
still loving how your hair looks when it's in a braid
fell for you when the moon hit the ground and I said "oh"

fell for you when the moon hit the ground and I said "oh"
I'm still waiting for the day that you say you can let me go
I don't wait for the ways that you say "you can let me know"

don't you believe?
don't you believe?
don't you we'll be fine, love

subliminal the way that you would let me go
and the radio is running the show
I care for you I do, I do
but I only have so much for you
and I can't use all my spells

lyrics

i didn't mean for it to burn you down
just send a message that
i couldn't face the truth, oh
i know it's something that we talked about
talked about
but i don't know why
it's in and out
i'm down, my mind is going
round and round
i wanted you to stay and watch the
day turn one more time

oh, what a shame
dripping down your face like it's the rain
i told you that i'd do anything for you girl
but i think that it's getting hard to maintain

how could you dip 
on a girl like that?
okay, okay
i fucking get it
i said some things
i probably shouldn't
but i think that she should hate me
all of my time
i'm self-obsessed
i know, i know
but i can't stop it
just go alone
oh girl i promise
it's better for u baby
i wish that it was fine for us
'cause when it's fine for us
i cannot hide the love
ooh
but i think we're in too much stress
oh it's just common sense
you cannot handle this

oh, what a shame (oh, what a shame)
dripping down your face like it's the rain
i told you that i'd do anything for you girl
but i think that it's getting hard to maintain

oh, what a shame
dripping down your face
like it's the rain
i told you that i'd do anything for you girl
but i think that it's getting hard to maintain

>> i uh... i told myself it would be different
