How many weeks have gone by in our time spent together hold me tightly never let me go hold me tightly, never let me go please engulf me in your flame and burn me to ashes I don't deserve to walk in your presence, let alone live there
2.
The summer is a fleeting reality lets enjoy it while we still can days will shorten and nights will grow cold things wont be the same this time next year they never are and they never could be so lets kiss in the fleeting lightt hold hands as night bears new fruits, lets create our own paths because winter doesn't need to be cold our hearts can grow warm with thoughts of the other can you do that for me? can I do that for you? reborn, stronger than before reborn, stronger than before so kiss me, kiss me in the fleeting light and I swear, I swear we'll be all right just kiss me, kiss me in the fleeting light and I swear, I swear we'll be alright just kiss me in the fleeting light and I swear we'll be alright just kiss me, and I swear just kiss me
3.
lets run away from here, leave behind our fragile lives pictures of you painted on phone screens and melancholy dreams imagine perceptions yield salty kisses ringing from sweetened lips milk and honey scalding my throat forever sealing broken promises of lives spent together autumn nights are killing friendships, killing leaves I cant seem to tell you why saturated sunsets slowing heliocentric models the year goes on and on

Towns Away 03:15
The night passes as I look out my window and watch the streetlights flicker wishing they were lightning bugs, wishing it were summer again as I stare outside I think of everything every mistake I've made, every wrong thing said every best friend lost, every wrong turn taken I'm consumed by them, eaten alive, I scream inaudibly, I've lost my voice my vision fades and my breath picks up, I need you here next to me but your ten towns away how will I mess this up? how will I make you hate me? I always do something, I know I'll do something my mind wanders again to a familiar thought it makes me think of them, the friendships I've lost if they will ever come back, maybe they will one day or maybe they wont I try not to be bothered by the fact that you hate me cause I know I was wrong and I regret it now I guess I wont see you again if that's what you want then okay, I'm okay
5.
waves crash on sandy shores summers spent together, enamored by ocean days and firework lit nights smoking cigarettes from your bedroom window with cold showers washing ash and salt from our bodies hold me close tonight don't ever leave me

about

I find myself today in a very different place than I was when writing and recording this EP. Written, recorded, and mixed between June and December 2021, I've spent several months sitting on these songs because I know that releasing these will close a specific chapter in my life, and closing that scares me in ways. These 5 songs roughly outline my last year, and what a year it has been. Finishing this project marks the end of all of that to me, and I view it as me allowing myself to move on in some way. To me the songs collected here conflict with one another, in the same way I conflicted with myself about what I wanted and needed. From that I set out writing this with the intent of writing a love album, and that soured and became a breakup album. All in all, I view this EP as a time capsule containing the thoughts and feelings of a living, dying, and dead relationship and all that that entails.

Thank you to Rayne Kuhn for putting up with me for so long, I'm sorry I wasn't better and I hope we can reconnect in the future as friends. To my friends Will Howard, Tanner Hupfeldt, Sam Kurtz, James Champion, Andrew Haines, and Z Davis for listening to me complain about needing to put out this fuckin EP already every few weeks. To all the friends I've made through music in the past year or so, especially Eliza of Juppleton, Jacob of CH Point, Enzo of MSSDTA, Brandon of Home is Where, Max of Ultra Deluxe, Six and Steve of Morning Dew, and Sammi of Sammi Hell. It really touches my heart how many new friends I've gained since starting this project and it's something I'll forever be grateful for, y'all are truly amazing people!! Lastly I'd like to thank everyone listening, it blows my mind that people enjoy my art and I truly hope it can help people in some capacity. I'm incredibly grateful for each and every one of you. <333333
