These Days 02:45
These days Move so slow In a row These days Can't return To my home Clock says I've been up For far to long Just writing songs Of heartbreak and longing About you These days everyone's In love with you It seems so true And you can hardly look at me
2.
Flip a Lucky 02:13
Flip a lucky and decide Flip a lucky with me We don't have to go outside We can smoke it in here Maybe we should stay inside Maybe we won't go out Maybe you could come over
3.
Gas Mask 02:20
The air is getting thicker and it's Hard to breathe I Can't move my limbs And it's hard to see There's Gloves on my hands when I Touch your skin There's Holes in my face where I Breathe you in Ghost towns Heavy repercussions Passion and progress Latencies manifest Colliding Gridlock Natural disasters Logic and romance Cage birds and coal mines Shallow breathing
4.
You say it's what you want We've done this shit for way too long It hurts too much to know just who you are I'll give you what you need But you need to meet me in between So as not to grow too far apart I'd like to see this through But I can't seem to get through to you I've bit my tongue and it's more than I can chew And that's the hardest part Cause you saw the end right from the start Though I tried so hard to change your mind Straight out of a dream Straight through this ennui Belong From now on We belong to none I feel it's not the end We'll just lick our wounds and play pretend Let's take what we can get Let's take what we can get
5.
Hop Skotch 02:40
Coulda called it every time You salt my veins And the moons a hop, skip, jump away Could I call you just once I can't take no more rehearsals Could you call me just once I can't take no more rehearsals
6.
Day Off 03:01
The sun on my skin feels so good sinking in It's so nice to get out with you just once in a while Let's go for a long walk And have a real deep talk It feels like it's been forever since we've gone outside Let's take off our clothes, let's get stoned in our robes I'll put on some more coffee as the rain starts to pour The hours blend together into daydreams and pleasures It feels like it's been forever since we've gone outside
7.
Slowburn 01:47
First drag is the sweetest but burns the same Bite down into the bitter pith and play the game Feel the slow burn set in and immolate Your name Reclaimed Sands of time turn to glass under ingleside Zephyrs cool as the summer's breath begins to die My adumbrations and ghosts burning in your eyes Oh night Divine
8.
Think You Do 01:33
I lie awake It's a sunny day I'm next to you It's almost two It's like I'm in a dream Know what I mean? I think you do It's all so much If it all comes down I'll be here In your arms
9.
Gods 04:41
Blessed by the gods With the gods I'm surrounded by Light-bringers Torchbearers Burning eyes that cannot die
10.
Let Down 04:10
Transport Motorways and tramlines Starting and then stopping Taking off and landing The emptiest of feelings Disappointed people Clinging onto bottles And when it comes it's so so disappointing Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around Shell smashed, juices flowing Wings twitch legs are going Don't get sentimental It always ends up drivel One day I am gonna grow wings A chemical reaction Hysterical and useless Hysterical and Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around Let down Let down Let down You know, you know where you are with You know where you are with Floor collapsing, floating Bouncing back And one day I am gonna grow wings A chemical reaction (You know where you are) Hysterical and useless (You know where you are) Hysterical and (You know where you are) Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around

So many thank you's haha. First off, big thanks to Gil and Connor for inviting me and making this all happen. So much love for both of you. Shouts to my soul fam, my roomies, for holding me down always, and to the homies Yoshi and Pablo for the constant fountain of love and inspiration. To my family for all the years of support, encouragement and unconditional love, and the patient guidance that helped me grow so far. The list will fall off this page if I continue. Love you all. This is for you <3<3<3
