transition 01:55
don't help me when I'm feeling down joy feels like emptiness and loneliness like dirtyness don't save me I don't wanna frown anymore but I gotta reputation to uphold broken bones and tattered leather my transition from bad to better might never ever happen all my life I've been around survivors and each and every one tells me that pain is everlasting but you just gotta work through it but I don't buy it I don't wanna believe that it can get better cuz joy feels like emptiness and loneliness like hating myself for being me and not being her

left out 01:44
feeling like I can't let go of what makes me miserable I feel left out some times words they feel like they aren't worth a damn but interestingly enough I find myself jotting them down but who are you to tell me that what I write ain't true? but could it be you're bitter because they might be about you I can't let go of what I should

closet space 02:12
If I'm being honest even I'm tired of singing about the same thing but it's easier to sing about being sad than it is about not being born in the right body or the right state of mind but oops I did it I can't believe I did it the neighbor won't stop mowing the lawn for 3 minutes for me to finish recording this dang song now where was I ah yes dysphoria I think I'll just leave at that I'm honestly afraid of coming out so I publish music that'll do it for me but I'm still super confused and I'm not quite sure what I even am so I don't feel valid and that's why I'm afraid of talking about in depth through music but oh well,I did it in this song anyways so please don't message me and ask me "are you a girl?" because that's rude beyond belief and I don't wanna have to answer that I've always been one because these things tend to be way more complicated that they appear to be and most of you don't even care enough to understand just pretend I'm just singing about depression and ignore the fact that I just came out in a song ok?

don't worry I'm fine this is for the best turn me into smoke and inhale me into your lungs

optimist 01:52
you have no idea how hard it has been to flip flop between being fiercely optimistic and terrifyingly suicidal all at the drop of a hat a constant worry that this'll be the end of my story and what a sad,meaningless end that will be I try to stand up but it isn't enough a vision of love clouds the fear from above I'm sorry that this verse is so obnoxious but there's only so many times you can recycle the same melody before people notice but when I feel happy I feel onp to of the world,man I can do anything I propose but then I can't

goffick 02:27
memories turn to shade like raindrops on a closed window Oh things have fallen apart again quite a sight to see the silhoutte that should've been me I have lost too much to stay the same I have lost so much and I'm to blame and the words that I say they lead me astray I can't stop anymore A shroud of neverending night I wear these cracks along my skin are mine to bear and only when the one that's sleeping above wakes up I feel alive I have lost too much to stay the same I have lost so much and I'm to blame and the words that I say they lead me astray I can't stop anymore

emerald city 02:38
farther than I imagined 14 hours away stood eugene how was I to know what would happen that I'd never be able to call you home once upon a time i believed i truly did in new beginnings what a difference it makes to belong to belong in a place you can call home the streets were lined with cherry blossoms surrounded by wonderful emerald in the local pond I stumbled upon beauty I had never seen the city of the ducks I wouldn't never left if you hadn't kicked me out and everyone liked post rock this patch of sky's show was sold out

sutaru 02:26
watching the moon flow into water stars erupt like vesuvius on the ceiling oh my love wait for me this is our starry night like tears for our fears I just wanted to rule the world the ocean glimmers its reflection an earthly constellation

I'm happiest when I'm myself but also the most vulnerable smilingin her world just smiling in my world it's who i am I know I don't fit in I know I'm not "one of the girls" I won't apologize for the fault in my foibles If I've had to learn to accept me the least you could do is try because regardless of what you do It won't change a damn thing

about

In early 2018 I spent 44 days in Eugene,Oregon and it was a life-changing experience. Ever since then I've tried to avoid writing songs about my time there because the nostalgia leaves me misty-eyed. This is my first attempt at writing about it so forgive me if the songs feel contrived.

My emerald city I miss you dearly but leaving you was for the best. May we meet again under better circumstances.
