Lyrics:
what if your actions didnt matter
what if you didnt have a choice
what if the future held no answers
what if you never heard your voice

and if the river takes you deeper
aim yourself and open up your arms

maybe its not your fault…

so what if your insides feel so empty
wouldnt you have something to fill
what if you were avoiding meaning
what if the weight is your free will

I was like you
broken in two
the more I fought the more I knew
I heard a sound
within I found
the less control the more unbound

maybe its not your fault
baby, its not your fault

-----------------------------------

What was your inspiration for Slow Burn?

I had the idea for the chorus written down some time ago. A simple line that basically encompasses the whole album and the whole concept of forgiveness. The idea that we guilt ourselves too much and that maybe it’s not all our fault or responsibility. I was very much into deterministic causality at the time and that philosophy helped with the idea of victimhood. Had a good synth line and I lifted the piano idea from a wes anderson movie that had a chorus of kids singing beautifully. And that was it.

Lyrics
I hate that you’ve been dragged through, 
All through it. 
You’ve watched my pain,
No gain, just love, 
For that, I’m Sorry 

For that, I’m sorry, 
For that, I’m sorry, 
For that, I’m sorry, 
For that I’m sorry. 

Gone on for far to long you stay, 
And carry me, 
When I’ll fall, 

And I’ll fall and I’ll fall, 
And I’ll fall and I’ll fall
And you’ll carry,
 you’ll carry me. 

And I’ll fall, and I’ll fall, 
And I’ll fall, and I’ll fall, 
And you’ll carry; you’ll carry me, 
For that, I’m sorry, 

For that, I’m sorry, 
For that, I’m sorry, 
For that, I’m sorry, 
For that I’m sorry.

For That, I'm Sorry

Whiteout

“He just was in so much pain
That he, you know, took it out on his mom
And took it out on his dad
And took it out on his siblings
But it’s almost like he didn’t—he didn’t feel worthy because he was rejected
And I don’t know how anybody feels with having your whole family reject you”

“He was searching for whatever made him feel like he wasn’t alone
And that he wasn’t so different”

“Well I know that some people will say that I treated him maternally, took care of him
But I like to think that it was more I was trying to nurture him rather than take care of him
Trying to nurture who he was and get him to let him do his art, let him do his music
And encourage him to get better at it as opposed to trying to stifle him
But also not trying to be the mom, but trying to be a nurturing girlfriend—or friend”

“So who would support him?”

“Me”

“And what would he do all day while you were at work?”

“It was kind of funny cause sometimes he would just sit there and watch TV for four hours
And you’d think he wasn’t creating
But he’d be playing guitar while he was doing that or think of stuff later and then, you know, and you go out for a few hours and you come back and there’s a painting on the wall or there’s a big comic strip—or whatever, he wrote a song, you know, recorded it.”

“He hated being humiliated. He hated it. And if he ever thought he was humiliated, then you’d see the rage come out. And he was very careful about and stubborn about how the way the artwork was presented because he didn’t want to be humiliated.”

“He’s home. And he comes downstairs in his little whitey tighties. No shirt. Barefoot. Up and in his undies. And uh—hairy dong coming out. That’s another thing I got sick of looking out. And he’s standing there with this tape in his hand and I go, ‘What’s that?’ And he goes, ‘It’s the master cut to my new album. Can I put it on the stereo?’ And I go, ‘ Yeah! Turn it up. Up, up, up.’ Cause I listen to music really loud. And I look at him and I go, ‘Oh my god. Oh my god.’ And I almost start crying.”

“It just, every week it got worst. And sometimes he would come home, I think to hide. And it was really bad. He started getting sores and losing weight and nodding out. I was pretty sure he knew I knew. That I decided one time to just confront him. And I went up to his bedroom. He’s sitting on the side of the bed. And he was crying because I had just arrived. And he knew it was breaking my heart. That I—and I talked to him about it. And he burst into tears. And he was just ashamed."

Evaporating

In 2013 there was another reoccurring daydream I often had that will always really stick with me - I still think about it pretty often. In the dream, I would be standing in the middle of a vast expanse with my girlfriend at the time, while she stared into my eyes with this loving, peaceful gaze. The dream always started in such a nice way, but there would always be this heart-dropping moment where she would put her hand on my cheek and I would suddenly squint my eyes and realize that she was very slowly becoming transparent. As I watched in horror, little particles of her would start floating off into the wind, and her skin would seem to ripple. As she faded more and more, her eyes always grew wide and a bright white light would start to shine out of them. The hairs on the back of my neck stand on end just thinking about it now. In the dream, I always started grasping at her, trying to hold her with me, but my hands would just phase right through her body. 

The thing is, all the while, there was always this look of transcendence and peace on her face. It gave me this very peculiar feeling - it wasn't just that she was being taken away from me, it was that she was... conceding to it. She was willingly going along with it; like she had caught a glimpse of something far beyond me and she was transcending - moving on to something much larger. 

Regardless of the horror of the situation, as the last parts of her faded, I always felt a calm start to wash over me... this interesting mix of both sad resignation and peaceful understanding. The tranquility that comes from finally accepting loss. I knew she was going on to something so much better, and I was happy for her. That was the strangest part about it - the juxtaposition of such disparate feelings. The day I wrote this song, I woke up with that feeling thick on my mind, and I knew I had to get it out.
