I miss when every day was Saturday Except Sundays Well I hate Sundays The disposable camera full of photos from camp that I never developed Those are probably expired by now and I don’t know what I’d do with them anyway Oh I don’t know what I’m doing Oh I don’t know what I’m doing in the slightest Oh I don’t know what I’m doing Oh I don’t know what I’m doing in the slightest It’s so cold today and I’m not prepared For fall weather again Even though I was griping about the summer When winter comes along I will be wishing that it’s still July I bet you I can more like I could I might’ve known what I was doing but I haven’t been here in months I can more like I could Because I might’ve known what I was doing but I haven’t been here in months Oh I don’t know what I’m doing Oh I don’t know what I’m doing in the slightest Oh I don’t know what I’m doing Oh I don’t know what I’m doing in the slightest I need clothing with more colours A brain with more colours A life with more colours I’m so scared of every ache and pain Because I don't want to go back there again Oh I don’t know what I’m doing Oh I don’t know what I’m doing in the slightest Oh I don’t know what I’m doing Oh I don’t know what I’m doing in the slightest

I don't know if I’m comfortable with anything anymore But I’ll try my best And if I’m honest I don't think I could let it get in the way And I’ll figure it out Just the same Help me find a way to get out of here I wish I could have the power to sense others feelings I wonder if I ever cross your mind Because me crossing your mind crosses my mind sometimes Why can’t I focus What do I want to do anymore Just play power chords And write random words I can’t remember what I had going for me Do I ruin the song just by singing Did I ruin the moment Did I ruin the moment Help me find a way to get out of here I wish I could have the power to sense others feelings I wonder if I ever cross your mind Because me crossing your mind crosses my mind sometimes

I keep creating Bandcamp pages For albums that don’t exist For things that’ll never be done but I’ll fantasize about it Fantasy’s the only way for me Nothing’s true in reality Don’t need to worry about sounding alien I have no one to alienate You don’t need me You don’t need me I don’t need me I don’t need me I’ll waste my time to make genius pages For artists I sort of know For reasons I can’t explain I don’t think about my thoughts most days As I keep waiting for the world to get A little less chaotic or a little less dead You don’t need me You don’t need me I don’t need me I don’t need me But if codependency is worthless then why am I here
4.
Who am I really Who are you We all want to know what we are Who we are Why we are Is what we crave overrated Do we worship things to hope that we have meaning Does nothing matter Don’t worry about it But it’s crazy to think how the moon is a giant rock thousands of miles away And all the glowing stars are other suns in outer space And that sunset you saw will never look the same again I’m insignificant Well you talk about your freedom but are you ever free Talk about it being easy but no one does it with ease Do I have to prove something to you Do I have to start seeing through your shattered worldview

I feel like a diet version of all my friends And all my songs are diet versions of artists I look up to I feel like a diet version of who I want to be Who do I want to be Who do I want to be We’re graceful clumsy people That’s always guaranteed I don’t know who we is Because it’s probably just me We’re graceful clumsy people That’s always guaranteed I don’t know who we is Because it’s probably just me The ringing in my ears is the only symphony that i cant stand Unless you count the constant complaint department in my head I’m so tired of not needing to explain myself But I’m perpetually embarrassed by myself We’re graceful clumsy people That’s always guaranteed I don’t know who we is Because it’s probably just me We’re graceful clumsy people That’s always guaranteed I don’t know who we is Because it’s probably just me

I could dare to be different But where would that get me Dead in a ditch on the side of the road it seems I give up on winning I can’t decide anyway But if i could I’d have nothing left worth saying I wish it was simple I wish it wasn’t so complicated I’m only ever your best friend When your real best friend isn’t around I’m discrediting the people i already have I forgot I could live my life outside of being with you I wish it was simple I wish it wasn’t so complicated I’m pretty sure nobody means anything But I wouldn’t put it past anybody in my brain And from where I’m standing it looks like you can’t wait to get away from me I don’t blame you I don't blame you I don’t mind being by myself anyway I don’t mind being alone anyway At least that’s what I’ll say Quickly planning my next mental detour into nothingness To prevent myself from ever having to think things over again
7.
Who I am to me is not how I appear to be And I hope that what I’m seeing isn’t what other people see I’ll never be what I want I’ll never be what I need I’ll just look at other people and say “I wish that were me” Is it normal to feel like yourself and at the same time somebody else Like your chosen words don’t belong to you but really They’re all that you’ve got I’m not much of a main character type But whatever I am god do I need development But nobody’s there to write me in for me So it’s up to me to create my own script Hey here’s what i did today That’s it that’s all that’s everything I’ll say And I And I And I And I can’t do anything else I’m so generic because The closest thing I’ve had to a journal is probably you I’m not much of a main character type But whatever I am god do I need development Nobody’s there to write me in for me So it’s up to me to create my own script

Star Track 05:06
I’m shaking And blanking Behind my screen As I write these words I don’t know what’s gotten into me My words come out shaky But I force them out Against the amount of emotions building in my throat For no reasonable reason that I could think of (I might be good enough for someone else And one day I might be enough for myself) I need to stop hoping for things that’ll never happen I need to stop hoping for things that’ll never happen As I fall asleep I’ll rehearse what I would’ve said If I could have gone back in time It’s hard to enjoy jokes when your whole life feels like one Or so I’ve been told I might as well not care I might as well not care Because that’s already how I see some things in the world (I might be good enough for someone else And one day I might be enough for myself) I need to stop hoping for things that’ll never happen I need to stop hoping for things that’ll never happen As I fall asleep I’ll rehearse what I would’ve said If I could have gone back in time I need to stop hoping for things that’ll never happen I need to stop hoping for things that’ll never happen But hope is all we have To make things come true But maybe Some things just shouldn't happen I need to stop hoping for things that’ll never happen I need to stop hoping for things that’ll never happen As I fall asleep I’ll rehearse what I would’ve said If I could have gone back in time (But hope is all we have To make things come true But maybe Some things just shouldn't happen)

Why do I keep putting limitations on myself It’s not like they’re put there by anybody else I wish I was better at showing that I care So I’ll put this in a song that you’ll likely never hear Fake delusions Of mass confusion That this’ll turn out like some sort of movie I’ll admit I imagine these scenarios But I don’t think the descriptors describe me anymore My mouth tastes like curse words as I run down the street With a box for a hat as I’m starting to see That we all feel lonely but we’re not alone We’re in a crowd of people we don’t know we recognize anymore Anymore I’d like to think I’m not thinking anymore I’d like to think I’m not thinking about it anymore

about

Made in an 8 month period between August of 2020 and April of 2021. This record feels like the first time where I feel I'm genuinely happy with a complete work that I've made. The fact that what started as just wanting to write fun punk songs led to this is something that I'm really proud of, and I'm glad that I was able to see it through. I hope you like it.

Recorded in the spare room of my house (a.k.a The Playroom)
