PLEASE STOP TRYING TO SPEAK TO ME I CAN'T MAKE YOU HAPPY I WOULD RATHER YOU HATE AND AVOID ME THAN EXPECT US TO "WORK IT OUT" I CANNOT LOVE YOU IT FEELS LIKE WE HAVE NEVER MET DON'T SAY YOU "MISS" ME WHEN YOU TORE MY LIFE APART AS IF A PART OF ME HASN'T DIED AND FALLEN OFF BECAUSE OF THIS YEAH, YOU'RE A HUMAN TOO? IS THAT WHAT YOU TELL YOURSELF TO SLEEP AT NIGHT? DON'T YOU KNOW THE WORST OF US ARE? I CANNOT LOVE YOU IT FEELS LIKE WE HAVE NEVER MET I CANNOT LOVE YOU

you're the absent type i'm not one to judge i stay up at night craving to your touch hold you to the light you're so pretty i would kiss the ground underneath your feet & i'm not a religious man, but i'd devote myself to you i'd pay a thousand tithes, i'd offer anything to you i wanna nurture & protect the softness deep inside of you i wanna see it grow i wanna see it grow i wanna see it grow & bloom

did it make me stronger? did my suffering bring me peace? i don't know i don't think so did it make me better? are the scars tougher than the skin? maybe a little i don't know they say strong is the man who stands his ground and doesn't let anyone bother him, but i feel kind of bothered all the time they say weak is the man who lets everyone trample over him, but i have a hard time peeling myself off the ground did it make me stronger? will my suffering bring me peace? i don't know i don't think so

evil 08:15
weak tea w/ honey warm like my feet pressed against the ground we could have been something if i had wanted to stick around i play a foolish game i want you to see me and to not i cant decide if i would rather be remembered or forgotten yea, let my friends think i'm dead we'll all be apart anyway before the end yea, i let my friends think i'm dead isn't that fucked up? isn't that evil? i'm an empty thing, cover me in anything that will attach surround myself in trash all my dishes sit there molding i'm a pitiful sort forgotten how to speak my mother tongue maybe i pretended never knew it all along yea, let my friends think i'm dead we'll all be apart anyway before the end yea, i let my friends think i'm dead isn't that fucked up? isn't that evil? / aren't i fucked up? aren't i evil?

released April 2, 2021

all songs here were written by me between late 2019 and late 2020, recorded in my storage closet over the winter, mixed on my broken laptop in a sloppy & convoluted way, because when it comes to making art i feel inclined to be messy and make bad choices above all else.
