New Hope

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

straight from this sleepy guy's voice memos

laid down in the dark again
feel my racing heart again
in my ears and in my neck
and in my arms and in my hands
this is what living will keep being like 

what am i being held against
keep saying this'll be for the better, yea
i just wanna know if i have felt all that i'll go through

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

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

_sickness

I'm Dying

Lyrics:
oh, the sun is now awake
our food is here today
we live another day
to do what we will say
the paths set in our eyes
your smile towards the lie
the stride into a right
deluded by the horde

i hate to watch them run
to where they see the sun
as nothing’s really there
we’re all alone down here
so hopelessly dispersed
cognition is a curse
maybe the universe is better off with none

(there are no values in the scriptures) 
(we are simply living less than)
(holes within that gold stance)
(holes within that gold stance)

damn these connections
binding me to possessions ‘til they’re lost
chaining me to this earth ‘til i’m dust
witnessing corrosion and the rust
oh, the centuries go on and on and on
what lord came forth to salvage all?

when my mind’s arisen
taking form in the holes in all our hearts
realizing in the end, near is far
so hang your head low when you depart
oh, the lives of us go on and on and on
breathing without a second thought
because “in God we trust.”

(belief in purpose is so fruitless, but no)
(their vision’s fixed, they’ll never know)
(a catastrophic dream)
(apocalyptic dreams)
(there are no values in the scriptures)
(we are simply living less than)
(holes within that gold stance)
(holes within that gold stance)

crazy i used to think i was worth something
when i look down and gaze at my crimson hills
the sorrowful thrill to devalue my body
it’s normal to me
shadowed me
