did you live there? did i misremember? is there a closer time water on the windowsill i am running through the long hallway of my old school can't go back to change the past i've got memories hallways and windowsills there is no other time no other light in my life a moment stretched out to a million lifetimes take me back or fade to black and i'll be there by winter

after this is gone wasted in the dark wish i could be there see patterns everwhere say that you don't know call me on the phone no one lives or dies it's all in our minds visions in your room strange moons circle through having dreams again i see past the end life could be so smooth i stick onto you nothing ever ends nothing ever ends three days in the guest house i was living in cloud city by the highways and i cut through all the neighborhoods to make it to the tunnel all lit up and the shoreline and the fog it is ending, it is ending like it always has before

don't go playing with my mind is it such a crime to be wrong right where i belong stick me in your arm you'll be fine don't go falling out of line help me through the spiral moonlight fills you and the room and you know that i'll be there soon help me through don't go forfeit all your ties spoken like the ghost in these lines reading what you wrote feel like there's no hope i need you spiral ghost

sentimental matter of fact oh i don't wanna die here i don't wanna die just yet never call never speak at all no i don't even try it i don't leave the house too much she sank them into me like canine's teeth oh i was born a liar i was born on halloween neon streams on slot machines tell me what's the price of a broken dream?

i've been waiting for a long time for an answer from above i can't seem to speak the language of whoever is making all this up if you think this world is bad you should see some of the other ones because i've been here before i don't think i'll ever leave for good forever blood and when all this is done i'll turn into a flowerbud rise out of the ground and rain down from a thundercloud i'll be everything at once

about

since the beginning, i always wanted to create something that merged my ambient work with my pop songwriting, something with an even split. i had to wait until the songs made sense for it, though. this EP (or mini-album i guess) came together through an attempt to strip back the instrumentation i've developed over years and write something simple. 5 songs featuring guitar and drums tracked to a tascam 424 mk-iii tape recorder, altered through varispeeding and digital pitch warping. most of the 4 ambient songs were originally created for a video game project that isn't finished yet, but i felt they were suited for this. i think this is something new, i hope you like it

"if you think this world is bad
you should see some of the other ones
because i've been here before
i don't think i'll ever leave for good
forever blood"
