i made this EP as a part of my upcoming senior recital.

it captures some of the sounds i've been making at oberlin these past couple years, and it's a window into a chapter of my life from a long time ago…

9 Piano Ballads for the End of October

i was knee deep in snow
by the time winter descended
id forgotten my own face
by the time the year had ended
and all that remained
was a stomach ache
and all that remained
was a stomach ache from pecking the ground all day

empty

there's a year's worth of pictures
i know to look away
started out the day I left home
i think it's over now
there are months that I've forgotten
but I feel them living under my skin

there are months that I've forgotten
but I'll carry them with me until the end

all that I can remember
is sitting next to you
at the beach in early summer
counting out the pounds I had to lose

counting out

i spent my days alone and empty
til they brought you in from the cold
we sat on the kitchen floor and pecked at the ground
i was glad to have the company

your feathers white
and your eyelids red
and the scales on your feet
a sickness growing
an open mouth
and nothing to eat

i went between the fridge and the pantry
and you in a heap on the ground
for five days you lay beside me
til they took you outside and twisted your neck around

your feathers white
and your eyelids red
and the scales on your feet
a sickness growing
an open mouth
and nothing to eat

i hated the taste of the food they fed me
it stuck on the roof of my mouth
and I dreamt of birds feeding me worms
in the tree outside my house

levanah lying in the sun
her white feathers rustling
levanah my gentle love
our moonlight lady
our moonlight lady

the shade was not dark enough
when the wind stopped blowing
levanah lying in my arms
her eyes half open
her eyes half open

i can't remember what
we did with your body
levanah my gentle love
our moonlight lady
our moonlight lady

levanah
