No Grip 01:55
I've been running in place for a week today, I barely recognize my face, All my fingers slip away, I can't hold anything in my hands now, I'm too drunk to stand up straight. So now every time you slip deep into my mind, You always hide cause you don't want me to find, what I think of you and that, Well that's just fine but I think I'll let it see the sunlight. The sun so bright And it keeps me up nights knowing I'm right, It keeps me up nights

What a waste, scared to share, you're gonna make something if you do, when it runs in friends and families you think it's gonna run right towards you, but ill run towards it instead, cause i've got control in my head, you don't care. When the expiration date occurs, will you still be holding on, to precious morals, just let go, and don't look out for me What a shame, hypocrisy, what works for you doesn't really work for me, we all have different *chemistries*, yeah your awake is my asleep, so i'll hug my anxieties, cause you've got to control something, you don't care, When the expiration date occurs, will you still be holding on, to precious morals, just let go, and dump me down the drain

A cigarette rests on my lips, The smoke is clouding anything that would help me through this, I've been so sick, 24oz, Goes on and on a fountain that is never ending. and I'm a bottomless pit. And I'm dead impressed tonight, and stitched into the intricacies of my mind, I'll get it right, I'd even try, If you'd lay down your anxieties for some time. Enough to find, This source of why, I cant move so far, I'm retching in the front seat, Cause it aint right, I feel the breeze, And it's the only thing right now consoling me. Here's to hoping i hold up until i get home. And I'm dead impressed tonight, and stitched into the intricacies of my mind, I'll get it right, I'd even try, If you'd lay down your anxieties for some time. I feel out of tune, I think out of key, Sometimes it's just gibberish to me, Billions of stars and i still cant see, How can i navigate, This ground if my feet are asleep, And my eyes are prejudice to things they can see, Maybe i just need some sleep. Well I'm dead impressed tonight, and stitched into the intricacies of my mind, I'll get it right, I'd even try, If you'd lay down your anxieties for some time.

Kiss 02:23
Sober eyes try much harder to find, Anything to take up their time, All the time I've been writing out lines, That don't mean shit when i see em in the light, So stay in the shadows, You won't have to let go, It's easy if you just, Put the bottle to your lips, Put the bottle to your lips and kiss. In my mind I've been trying to find, But I'd be hard pressed to get anything right, If i keep lying to myself then i shade, Any progress that could be made so, Call out for help if you think that it's worth it, Or just shake it off and, Put the bottle to your lips, Put the bottle to your lips and kiss. OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo Put the bottle to your lips, Put the bottle to your lips and kiss.

Digging my way, into this grave, to see you again, I gotta get it through my head we're dead In each others way, with nothing to say, this awkward anxiety, seeps into the every day Headed downhill, trying to fulfill, death wishes cause they're the easiest to grant right now Trying to sleep, feeling defeat, there's nothing that i even feel like doing Great in theory, but i'd like some more practice please, before it's over, or i get sober, enjoy your time with me

Bitter 03:56
It's bitter, It's drowning me, My tongue, my nose, my body lied to me It sticks to everything, It starts the ride, and carries me away oh how nice, the ball gets kicked away, this sport called life is absolutely killing me, How can i remember your name, when nothing that you do is really thrilling me. Later, it's funny now, i can barely see it working anyhow, it could be sharper, Like your words that bite, but i don't want to get ripped to shreds this time. Every time that it walks me around, Finds another fucking problem anyhow, Every time that it meets me around, its just a time for me to give up and tune out. And the sores keep getting bigger (x3) in my mouth, and the pain keeps growing larger, And how you change your mind is almost worse, constantly... ALWAYS BITTER ALWAYS BITTER ALWAYS BITTER

Speed Bump 03:28
I'm sick of drinking alcohol, I'm sick of looking stupid, While all my friends make jokes about, How all their lives are worthless I'm over feeling empty, It's boring being bored, I wanna make a memory, but I'm scared to make some noise It's been too long with this on my back, and i can feel it all about to crack, I'm readying my self of the apocalypse of social life, I'm dreaming about you again cause at least that turns out nice, Nodding over this guitar, Freaking out in bed, I need to be somebody new, but my batteries are dead. It's been too long with this on my back, and i can feel it all about to crack,
9.
Underneath a cloudy sky, You're on my mind, China heroin white, I'll be tonight, If i keep envisioning the things that scare me, Sweating and shaking on the beach. I'm a west coast ghost, I sleep inside of sandcastles, And i move like the ocean, A west coast ghost, Come down you like crashing waves, and wash you away. It's always 70 degrees, and i still feel cold, Aint got somebody around me, that i can hold, So i'll sleep on it and wake up paranoid, Cause someone fucked up my good dream. I'm a west coast ghost, I sleep inside of sandcastles, And i move like the ocean, A west coast ghost, Come down you like crashing waves, and wash you away. I'll fade away, But i'd like you to take my hand, We could melt under the sun, And start again. I'm a west coast ghost, I sleep inside of sandcastles, And i move like the ocean, A west coast ghost, Come down you like crashing waves, and wash you away.

Goodbye 00:59

about

I recorded this EP over 2014-2016 in my bedroom and added to/edited some of the songs this year. Everything is played/sang by me besides vocals by my good friend Tori Bovee on Bitter. This EP accompanies the album BUMMMERR! which I'm releasing along side it.
