Gentle Reminder 03:20
lyrics
swim before you sink the bottom her deepest blue float don't overthink for all she knows, will weigh you down leave 'em all behind you butterfly in the deep end give in to the moment before it's through rising to the skyline panorama endless gentle understanding of caring less ages we flow through aren't candles to right now so much light we see don't douse me with your salty eyes leaving us behind you butterfly in the deep end you only have a moment and then it's through rising to the skyline panorama endless gentle understanding of caring less parallax always from different places separate ways towards the same thing dirty globe we burned it down together journey on towards the same dream leaving her behind me blow up dolls in the deep end if we had a moment then now it's through rising to the skyline panorama shameless gentle reminder to care much less refracting each other outwardly escaping refracting making colors i just want the same thing

Soaked in White Noise 04:38
lyrics
everywhere everything on turning me off turning you down dulling over the meaning she must cut through we are softly eroding to join the ocean in between angry birds in my pocket soaked in white noise she must cut through soaked in white noise in my head there's a ringing so long after you were gone i think i feel the repetition the tracks we brought this way before all the lovers i remember drift out to sea hard to be so unaffected a lonely idol for the dejected apparition of the body light passes through we drift out to sea and the light passes through she must cut through soaked in white noise drift out to sea light passes through in my head there's a ringing so long after you were gone if the night is for dreaming the day is far too long

Go Around Again 04:18
lyrics
never end and don't begin go around again deja vu echoes through mirrors of you on me is it true that nothings new feeling through a hole pedestrian hum & drum i become undone lifeless dreams knots of strings why bother at all? pretend you know full control explain the soul in rhymes all that glow a tiger by the toe skipping down the road and feeling fine it's all under control when i'm waking up slow splitting ends where you been? go around again deja vu controlling you tell the truth to me stars that leave cuts that bleed feelings all the same slowly burn longest turn when you cross my mind all that glow a tiger by the toe skipping down the road and feeling fine it's all under control if we die real slow my perennial blossoms oh i'm mournless for you when i know we'll meet again my perennial blossoms know i'm heartless true she said we'll meet again

Playground of the Night 04:22
lyrics
i walk the plane beyond any crawl or climb seasons forgotten i drift outside the line taught well to bestow a chair of vacancy initials for the carving on tired giving trees idle friends of mine waste another song playground of the night deep in these wrongs take out the high and low is there a meaning at all? i don't really know i'm just barely breathing the order sprawling out idly ashyxiating what are you waiting for? empty so self-fulfilling taught well to bestow this chair of vacancy initials for the carving on tired giving trees all my pretty monitors coax me to recline i now do all theirs they keep ghosting mine without a pendulum is there a motion At all? i don't really know i was just leaving

Pretenders 03:52
lyrics
everyone knows how to fit in lonely pretenders where do i begin? after small talk hold that thought now barely holding on just smile and nod a shallow wave of good intentions i guess i don't relate i don't relate visons of my open mouth when it sucks the air out an anemic room of dolls eye rolling in their falls am i letting on or just inside my head empty pretenders send me golden thread let's be honest now please don't make a scene all we want from you are smiles and nods a nausea navigating graces i can't take it anymore i can't take it no i can't take it anymore everyone knows how to fit in everyone is lonely pretenders everyone knows how to fit in where do i begin? visions of my open mouth when it sucks the air out the synchronic climb the walls in a gasping free-for-all should have stayed home shouldn't be here this isn't me let me go pretenders leave me alone

about

For this ep I challenged myself to write, record, mix, and master 5 songs in 90 days. Highly recommended if, like me, you waste too much time down the creative rabbit hole needlessly adjusting the EQ of your snare drum or whatever. ;-)

Sonically, you may witness forward post-punk basslines, slightly overcooked pop drums with occasional drum-machine interludes, surf and/or 80s-inspired guitar melodies, subtle use of synth and keys to tie the room together, all complemented by deep and sleepy monotone vocals. Lyrically, I explore the introvert's mind, eroding friendships over time, imposter syndrome, and the monotony of "living the dream".
