Very beautiful melody with the excellent trilogy: voice, acoustic guitar, and strings 👍🏆

I love my visits to your page, Eric - haven't heard this one before! so much emotion in the vocal performance - an incredibly beautiful song ♥♥

Really enjoyed this Eric, full of feeling.

A past lover keeps showing up in my dreams and reminding me of my failures.
From my new LP " Low Profile". My best tracks from 2023. Thanks for listening!

Lyrics:
I get my melancholy straight from the IV drip
A Xanax, a red eyed flight on the sky ship
That's when you appeared
I'd been gorging myself on 
Televised violence
It's like synconized swimming
You were grinning while the plane was rapidly descending
(You smiled all the way down)
The atmosphere was colorless
Odorless
Void of all surface and all texture
I'm reveling in my psychosis
You reminded me I never finished my
Junkyard magnum opus
You still show up in my dreams

We were entering into 
An impressionist painted landscape
With a language that we just didn't understand
You reminded me that I'm a big believer
In blindly believing
And I need to start drinking in
A little bit more in what I'm seeing
We're like suburban dadaist
Coming in, out of the rain
My mind was racing
Like those 808 beats
There all the same
Well, that's the way the Goddamn wheel rolls
You headed off into the night
You never told me to change the angle of the light
You still show up in my dreams

"You never even had it even when you had it your hands,"
You've got to bring it right down
To where the sideways ends in the light
I'm digging down deep
I'm digging down slow
I'm striking oil 
Or the fires down below
You still show up in my dreams

You Still Show Up In My Dreams

thank u for nothing October, drops in two months yall.

Every moment I be thinkin’ of you
Like a sick little dog, like I’m missin’ a screw
Bite my lip ‘til it bleeds just to feel somethin’ true
You moved on, I just rot in the shade of your view

Put a hole in my chest with the shit that you said
Now I carry your words like a gun to my head
Used to sleep on the phone, now I scream at the wall
You grew wings, I grew mold—I just pray for the fall

You keep your secrets locked behind your pretty teeth
I keep mine in pills I swallow when I can’t breathe
You loved me like a knife loves a warm soft gut
Now I’m bleedin’ out slow, still sayin’, “so what?”

Fuck your closure, fuck talkin’ it all out
You left, now my love’s just a scream and a shout
Tore me open like a goddamn gift
Then tossed my soul in the trash, sayin’ “that’s it”

I hate that I still want you to care
Wrote your name in the dust, now it’s floatin’ in air
I talk to the mirror like it’s you in there
But it never talks back, just stares and stares

Tie a noose with your favorite song
Play it backwards while I’m gone
Every lie you fed, I ate
Now I’m hollow, now I fucking hate

cut my tongue out, maybe then i’ll shut up

la vie continue

You walked across my mind deep in my dream
Soft and warm
Now you won't leave
I’m wide awake
Can’t find relief
You walked across my mind
Now you’re all I see

You Walked Across My Mind
