they say don’t get caught up in a storm when you don’t have a big enough boat because if you get knocked off the waves out here will make sure you don’t float but now I’m diving again with a friend that knows her way around not looking to bury myself any deeper than the trench i just swam out of you make me forget where I’m at and who i am you make me forget it all drinking your fluids like water and watching them drip down your leg thinking of how good you look against first light glowing skin enveloped in rays eyes crossed, tongue tied, and ready to receive all the loving you been missing poured out onto me back scratches sore muscles and out of breath too all the loving I’ve been missing poured out onto you keep your head up lil one its gonna be alright when it gets to the end I’m not thinking about the things that you do because i know that you are heaven sent addicted to the nectar that your body expels 8 glasses a day I’m a conduit for all of the flow you release synapsis tingling as it passes through my brain

lil sprout that tries to stand as tall as she can but she didn’t know for sometime about the grandmaster plan hours entail on a much larger scale you can never really get to bed at night food going stale missing mail locked up in a room covered in bed bug bites talking all that shit and I’m not about it doesn’t mean to cause a raucous even when she’s filled with doubt i can’t look you in the eyes or else i lose it sinkholes in my mental plz just don’t abuse it keeping pace with all of the pain it seems you don’t wanna fight it I’m sorry if i instigated the seed that made you believe that i lost sight of us its heady its tiresome and i just can’t get to bed at night leaving a spell of this magnitude don’t think that i walked away out of spite

started off so sweetly something that i needed from the start old wounds start secreting and undo everything that we’ve worked so hard for I’m plagued by demons with no sense of relief and they’re trying to tell me that i do not need rest they stay thru the seasons and everyday i believe them to be true and honest i don’t want you thinking any differently its all in the palm of your hand now so stand proud and don’t waste your time digging thru all of the sand now it can be just too quick and will leave you forgotten and damned now it can be just too quick started off so sweetly something that i needed from the start all these actions keep repeating but i know better and I’m not so stubborn ’I’m plagued by demons with no sense of relief and they’re trying to tell me that i do not need rest they stay thru the seasons and everyday i believe them to be true and honest i don’t want you to think any differently its all in the palm of your hand now so stand proud and don’t waste your time digging thru all of the sand now it can’t be just too quick and will leave you forgotten and damned now it can be just too quick

manifest what you see fit but don’t accept how you felt or what it was because you don’t need that weight your strong your smart and you can do what you want so don’t let a stupid young boy decide your fate because its not worth it or deserving you are in your own lane and you can see the changes that you want to make i wish i didn’t have things to deal with on the daily but you’ll never understand why i always seem to feel crazy swarms of lush greenery sweep the land thats what ill remember when your angry and sad pieces fall right into your lap the puzzle doesn’t seem so hard when you’ve already started the task sun beating down on the faces of 2 young ones wildflowers blooming so fast i can’t keep track i can’t see the wave thats coming i don’t see a need in frontin things happen so fast that i can’t control it don’t be disengaged because of emotions i don’t feel its right to say the things you said but i understand

my baby done left a hole in my heart that won’t stop surging currents out but i can’t hold it together when i know how the cracks were caused blankets that wrap around us like a swollen nerve can’t seem to be what you want me to be or do what you want me to do even when I’ve paid my debts in full, you seem to feel disturbed i haven’t been talked in this way so never even crossed my mind never even crossed my mind i just try to block them out like they never even crossed my mind never even crossed my mind but that doesn’t mean always go away dancing around on tip toes so i don’t wake a beast sadly can’t seem to keep quiet even when i need to checklist that my brain won’t stop going over when you’re sleeping deep enough for something but too shallow to not feel defeated

theres a whole lot of controversy going on that i can’t abide by stay out of the mix for awhile and you won’t wanna even be on the sidelines stories upon stories you should be a damn journalist i keep myself hidden taking simplified routes because i knew it would turn into this gotta cut all of you off nothing personal gotta think clearly just for once this time nothing personal I’ve got a feeling theres a lot more out there nothing personal its not like if i stayed you’d really even care floating amongst many grounded individuals i can’t keep noticing the difference they all tote the same expression and direction but i don’t detect a hint of distinction

For Annie 03:01
to think i may have helped or been someone of deeper understanding i got so excited running into joe on haight outside the club deluxe not prepared to hear that last night you left us gave me shelter during a tiresome time all you asked for was a 6ixer and some chill vibes a bed to rest my head and a smile that could ignite the smallest of brush sitting here thinking how i could’ve convinced you not to make that push showing me songs you wrote on a hand saw bow in hand smirking mad while you gave me some sounds that were pure and raw felt like you had a connection in which you had no flaws annie don’t think ill forget the care and respect no matter how large or small it was

Do you know what it feels like to wake up on the sand? waves lining up at your feet like they extended a helping hand i just can’t explain the way the air and sediment feel against my skin its all I’ve ever known and anything else just seems so foreign i take the 101 instead of the five on purpose because theres just so much beauty on the edge of these cliffs you can drive for miles and miles and still be right next to the water surrounded by forests that lead out to beaches the beauty can never falter gonna miss all of you down here in the sunny oc you do not understand how much you all encouraged me late nights in santa ana really did change the way i felt about my music gathered round with so many talented friends i hope you all keep pushing and never ever lose it gonna miss my friends in the bay id never thought id say but san fransisco became my home away from home all these kids on the streets making making ends meat by way of their art because their hearts need cleansing gonna miss all the ones I’ve ever loved sorry if i made it seems like it never was sorry if i took apart of you away it was never my intention and I’ve forgotten all the words that made mine and your heart break so much love given back and forth its a matter of myself not knowing my own self worth its a matter of i can’t stop the things like my pops leaving earth or thinking everything i do should be buried in the dirt I’m gonna fix myself the best way i think i can im gonna show you all someday a new and improved man take these songs and try to heal all the wounds I’ve bled out are for you to listen and feel and with this i say farewell my friends you’ve all become so important but that doesn’t mean that i can stay this place will break you down even if you pray goodbye california

about

this is a bittersweet record for me to release to all of yall.......it was recorded over the course of 2 intense relationships with 2 very different people that either inspired some of these songs positivitly and negatively......i lost my good friend annie who i used to stay with on tours to san fransisco and there is a track dedicated to her.(RIP) i also lost my best friend adam a couple of months ago to an auto collision and hence the reason why i moved from california which ive lived a majority of my life to asheville NC where i currently reside. now being over here with no band to play any of these songs to i hope you all can find the joy in the music as well as the pain. alot of these songs like i said are bittersweet and hard to even still play these days but this record im very proud of and very proud to share. this is the longest ive ever let someone mix or work on anything of mine because im slightly impatient with my workflow of stuff i make lol but the quality of this record is significantly higher than what ive made in the past. its a different outlook as well as a different sounding thing all together. i hope you all enjoy it thank you
