Waxwing 02:57
My thoughts are gross and boring Platitudes and bloated sayings For my lover who just stays Repeating the most beautiful treats Directly in my mouth My ridiculousness it plagues me Scratching my tongue against my teeth When will something light leave them Can I trap any prettiness out Before I swallow it and acidify its remains

Strange sounds Foreign to my discontent Flutter along the edge of my ear I can't cut the frost I'm too far from the liquid When will my thoughts Teeter to a close Where will our hopes Ever be affirmed Cracks of light Must be audible We must be able to pull them I can't see Much more thickly Please touch My hairs With scorching sensation

Swelling 02:25
Softer The moss sits Vines race up a structure Deconstructing There is a rupture Among the leaves The stones climb What we furrow Cave our lives Cross the time I have to sit up higher We need to feel both large and small

Forgive me Repair my ignorance I love that you can be understood I can taste the drops Maybe my tongue can cool itself down Keep everything you can hear Keep me Until your mind is unkempt I will keep trying to see

Water drowns algae Air drowns trees Breathe me up your home Frighten me with your difference Live and push me out From observation I'll build I'll drown I'll rest on my useless throne

about

I've created a full video project for this album: edited video of myself performing these tracks for all 50 minutes. All of which is published on Youtube.

You can see video for the tracks here: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVUVQGf5J573_gQhuheCEBAmkUJRjoEjo

In these tracks, I've explored improvised variations on a few grooves, with vocal themes appearing throughout the album. I hope you enjoy all the different places these themes lead.
