Naked 02:31
lyrics
buy track
This is the most naked I have ever been I hope that you appreciate all my fuckin skin Yeah my organs would all be out in the open, if not for my skeleton Cuz the waxy parchment my veins are wrapped in is pretty goddamn thin These are the worst jeans that I have ever worn My wallet keeps falling out of my pocket and the seat of the ass is torn I keep telling myself I'm gonna learn how to fix, but every time I try I always get bored Gotta find my a person with thread in her purse and take them off in the middle of a grocery store Life is a series of walls coyotes keep crashing into Roadrunners seem to run right through Imaginary holes seem pretty goddamn real when they're in your fuckin life jacket In the middle of the ocean at a cool jacket party that you wish that you weren't invited to I wish that you could come with me be my jacket, my jeans help me find my keys cuz when they're not on me This is the most naked that I have ever been

Monuments 01:55
lyrics
buy track
Eight more hours Even more in the tower Melt away in the shower The body brings the flowers Bleeding the oxygen Feeding the monolith Counting crypts Stoically sits the pyramid Tiny screen in your sarcophagus Watching people with animal heads Leaning towards isosceles Hiding from your sphinx We carved our faces into the side of the mountain Now we have to rotate it to make sure that it's facing the internet

Shithole 05:21
lyrics
buy track
The relics are rolling through town Fire trucks long out of commission Did they ever save anyone? Five miles per gallon, smoking engine combustion The irony isn’t lost on me Stalling in the crosswalk, spilling gasoline The bastard is screeching all rusty and green In the chevron parking lot exhausted I think Take me away from this shithole This naturally beautiful shithole Coyotes making tracks in the snow Small critters lay dead by their paw prints The fog settles thickly in the valley below Like stains on the living room carpet The pruning of apple trees is lost on me Whethered in orchards like glass on the beach Falcons and eagles overhead circling Looking for small prey, I see them think Take me away for this shithole Idyllic coastal town of a shithole

Interlude 02:16
lyrics
buy track
Remember to write the thing you thought Before you go to bed As the mice inside your walls Are running through your head As your eyes focus on the corners The shadows of your notes Anxious that nobody Can read the thing your wrote Never repeat a good thing twice It does not get better than this Draw the devil til you get him right And start with something permanent If you need a break from the arbitrary rules If Satan's horns don't fit on the face you drew I thought that you might like an interlude Remember to not be so hard On yourself if you forgot Before you went to bed To write down the thing you thought

Black Hole 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Whose gonna serve the cold cuts when my son Dan breaks his arms off Anxious as the mailman in the dreams of your sleeping dog You ain’t getting nowhere on the phone there in the parking lot Whose gonna scrape the pavement when the kids forget their sunblock Just screaming into the Black hole Whose gonna fix a battery on a shit-ass Saturday at the hospital Too tired to explain it to you in way that is relatable We’re getting nowhere cause of interference in my hand signals
Whose gonna set the clocks back when the end times turn to digital Black hole

about

First and foremost, this is a shitty, little EP about holes. While I was writing the lyrics in for each of the songs I realized that. So like, thats kinda funny.

I'd like to thank every neighbor I've had for the past five years for listening to each individual track of every song as I recorded them and somehow never coming over and telling me to shut the fuck up. Thank you to my mom for supporting me through the wackiest year of my life thus far. And a huge thank you to Hayley McCutcheon for being such an inspiration to be the best version of myself, I love you. Lastly, thank you to Nathan Urbach. Over the course of my time making music, I have had many friends who have supported me and urged me to continue even when didn't think myself capable to do so, but not only has Nathan been there for all of it, these past several years he has gone out of his way to make sure I never give up. I am eternally grateful.

Oh also, thank you for listening.
