Sacred Deer 04:41
Have I lost my roots? water on your back spent an afternoon Trying to get it back Will I lose my friends On the Brooklyn Bridge? I guess it all depends the way you look at it. Holding both your legs screaming out with pain plunged into the bath crying out his name all you washed away from me sacred deer filled me with light oh your holy tongue speak into the sky know not what thou meaneth but never knowing why never cut your hair I will wash your feet babble like a bird just don't take after me all your thoughts are creating colors sacred deer filled me with hope

In the end Clocks they tick and tick and start erasing Build a house it is small but one That you feel safe it Two start, one mind calling out your name for all am I unkind? or am I set to fall? In your mind I begin to see a strange symmetry set on fire all the pictures burning clear and brightly oh to never see you off too far you are clearer now although it's dark Bury, bury me 'neath the water + the weeds I am wandering but you are waiting Forever, ceilings fall and cave and crumble neatly steady noise, repetition dances, though, discretely through your mind slow start bad heart calling out your name for all often empty, but a well-intentioned life for years to come

Blood/Horror 04:56
Are you looking for your exit? I cannot tell, the way you're headed Oh the strange things you were saying slurring your speech, the line is fading Lost it thinking over something, I cannot tell Probably nothing I was staring out the window When it happened I saw you in the light All of the vulgar details Not lost when they're happening to you You drive your white Corolla Through the front wall of my living room. And I can't go on When you are wrong Everything is so inverted we're upside down will this still hurt then Saw you fading to the shoulder Wrapped like a bow In mother nature As I hover into space Projected lights all flashing Strobe all my memories with you in all the blood and horror I get to finally see some truth
4.
Towers 05:36
The towers of new carwashes and soda shops keep your head above the fluid I'm cynical, but made of it, an anomaly, my dead body first in line it's strange to see your face in everything, the walls are crawling When everything I am is harrowing, you are so clear Run the bath, the body limp The water’s warm, a new lifeform developed in an instant Upload my mind, my inner space, a fiction dump in full 4k Watch me reappear Are you what you are Do you know anymore? Are you here or far? Sleep in the attic tonight

Dilettante 04:52

Juniper 04:15
Juniper reaching out into the sun I am green in reassurance not sure what I have done Your bird drifting out into the dark with a song for you to whisper gold chain around your heart reverse your steps of walking in the basement if you had seen what I'd seen before all you wanted was a child red as blood and white as snow you are lying neath the tree as a sheet with nowhere to go heads up I am hungry with desire apple boxes in the basement look like Gwyneth by the hour patch me now with a bandage 'round my neck made you punch me in the jaw crying rolling on the floor rework your steps of staring in the mirror if you had seen what I'd seen before all you wanted was a child red as blood and white as snow with a millstone around your neck in the sea with nowhere to go all you wanted was a love blue as sky and black as night she will whisper in my ear "Iphigenia, you'll be alright"

Better Love 04:57
8.
Glo in Peace 04:00
At the end of a string What will you find Is it a veil or a chair Lifted in quickened time do you swim do you fly? Or is that over? Did you laugh Or did you cry Do you remember? But where you are I am not so far I see the sun Or just a light But it's getting brighter Tried to peek through To see it was you The plastics and colors The chemistry And family tree Oh to be holy It's empty space Gathered up It all fills beneath me To be where you are I am not so far

about

This record is about relationships.

In one way or another, all things constantly ask for our attention, and we listen--attempting to fill the void with cable news and diet soda. Ironically, much of the meaning in life tends to derive from the people we tend to neglect the most: those friends and loves that actually care. Instead of investing in healthy relationships, we invest in chasing the next ambition; to this end, I am extremely guilty.

The thing with good people is that it takes hard work to keep them in your life. Everyone has their baggage, and part of having a relationship is recognizing that it requires working through each other's issues. Surround yourself with people that believe in you. When you find someone good, pour yourself into them. Commitment is an incredible thing.

If you feel alone, know that the ones that love you are not that far away; even if that doesn't feel true.
