what's there to see?
a million trees staring at me
would you believe?
they live for me, unwillingly

the leaves have grown back
don't you see?
flowing in the wind;
such a breeze

harsh to the touch 
you splintered my knees

good things were made to hurt
me



demo I wrote early winter 2024

window

be gentle with me
I break easily
didn't get enough sleep
must dream that I am somewhere else
so don't wake me

a million times I gave up trying
just repeating a cycle
now idk what's good anymore
and all the things I used to do has lost all meaning
yeah nothing's working

I wanna be the star not the sideshow
not the limbs to the body of a tightrope
greedy for the spotlight
give me more screentime
I think we're just alike;
more than we'll ever know

would you look out for me? 
don't wanna feel alone anymore
never get enough sleep
can't help that I am somewhere else
could you chase me?

a million times I gave up trying
just repeating a cycle
now idk what's good anymore
and all the things I used to do has lost all meaning
yeah nothing's working

I wanna be the star not the sideshow
not the limbs to the body of a tightrope
greedy for the spotlight
give me more screentime
I think we're just alike;
more than we'll ever know

demo I wrote summer 2024

sideshow

I don't mean to cry
it's not like I miss you
it hurts more each day; 
I thought-- I'm pushing through

every time I think it's getting better
I tank right down again,
I thought you'd never
throw it away like you did
and you'd check on me;
ask if "we're" not okay

I know I put out the match
but as I blew it 
I told you that I loved you
and I never even said that I stopped

& you stopped
