2D Trance 03:08
I'm ready to leave I've seen you sign out And that's the way that you'll act as you should (and were) I know I can be a shit And you should want more I'm a stickman now I'm in a 2D trance There's no part of me that could say how I feel And we know both that I won't come to Any time soon I know I can be a shit And you should want more
2.
Stars Inside 03:47
I can forget how I feel After a couple of days without seeing you Now I'm back on square one I'm thrown back into feelings I don't think are true But they're coming back Keeping me in shock But you have stars inside That I can't forget about Watching how you act I try to copy that To feel like a part of you To erase every trace of me I'm thrown back into feelings I don't think are true But they're coming back Keeping me in shock But you have stars inside That I can't forget about But I don't want to forget
3.
When the pills run out I'll run home And drink my mind to peace When they say I can't have any more I'll find someone else to say what to do It's okay, everyone I can manage alone I know I can't ask for things That I couldn't possibly get It's unfair to everyone else I've been sleeping when I'm awake And awake when I lie in bed I cut out a piece of my mind, the one that is sick Or sane, I don't know It's okay, everyone I can manage alone I know I can't ask for things That I couldn't possibly get It's unfair to everyone else I know I can't ask for things That I couldn't possibly get It's unfair to everyone else
4.
Pack up your things I'll let you know When I come to No, no, I'm drinking until I can sleep through hours of nothing No way, I'm drinking until (No way!) I can sleep through hours of nothing Pack up your things I'll let you know When I come to (Layover house) No, no, I'm drinking until (No, no!) I can sleep through hours of nothing No way, I'm drinking until (No way!) I can sleep through hours of nothing
5.
"Just be yourself You're what she's waiting for" I can't talk with you In love Invisible sunlight, blinded I can't talk with you I'm gone I'll be the sun that never rose You called me up Making the water stop I can't talk with you I'm drunk It's all set up for regret I can't talk with you I'm fucked up But I'll be the air that carries you It's all I can do I can only dream of shining through Kick me, just anything That brings your presence here I can't stop and I can't start I really want your time but I can't talk to you
6.
Your storm got inside You must've left the door unlocked I watched the lighthouse cast its light I wondered if it hits your house or not You're the one thing I can't deny And that's another fault of mine, I know I went over to your house I came just in time to go home Do you have anything to say about this at all? Would you have anything to gain in my arms? Your storm got inside You must've stolen my keys from my safe When you invited me to your house I came just in time to go home
7.
Eye Games 03:41
I'm starting to obsess All these eye games Touching accidentally I'm starting to obsess Getting hung up On your passing smile I'm going mad I'm going mad Getting so upset About your jokes and laugh About feeling warmth again Getting so upset About the little things About the I-don't-knows I'm going mad I'm going mad I'm going mad I'm going mad You probably have other guys That can give you more than I But I'll save a place for you right here You probably never think of me The way I think of you But I'll save a place for you
8.
Almost Fine 04:39
All the things that I’ve been dreading to feel Can’t get in but they’re twirling around me I can not last forever I’m waiting to break The clocks stand still or racing fast A day clings on or don’t seem to last I can not run forever I’m waiting to break It’s almost fine by me It’s almost fine by me To be folded in two I’m a wall now Soon to crack, I’m sure Looking around This place looks different now With other eyes But I know it’s the same You’re gone I can’t believe I’m almost fine It’s almost fine by me It’s almost fine by me Some days I’m sad And others I’m almost fine With most things It's almost fine by me It's almost fine by me It's almost fine by me It's almost fine by me x2
9.
It kills me every time "You'll be just fine" No! Your cheeks belong to mine At least every time I hug you to leave I can't wait to say goodbye After eating your looks for hours I make you lift your feet At least every time I hug you to leave
10.
I can't decipher the sounds you make at night I'm hoping you can stay awake a while I hear you squirming around, possessed by some dream It's mumbling senselessly through you I don't feel that well And I don't have the time (You're still here but you shouldn't be) It's such a silly thing to say I don't know what I want And it's making me sad (You're still here but you shouldn't be) I really can not find my place You're gonna talk in your sleep and regret it soon If the truth comes out you'll feel alone in that too Your phone is off and with windows tightly shut You're sleeping now and nobody's close enough to hear I don't feel that well And I don't have the time (You're still here but you shouldn't be) It's such a silly thing to say I don't know what I want And it's making me sad (You're still here but you shouldn't be) I really can not find my place You're still here but you shouldn't be Go take your pills and hide away Try to stop feeling sorry for yourself But don't think about all the hurt you've caused, it's no use now You're still here and it's okay Don't create loops now Don't

about

Recorded June 18-24, 2023 at Drop of Sun studios and production, Asheville, NC


Special thank you's to Lawson Alderson, who met all of our outlandish requests with excitement and confidence and helped structure our scattered ideas into something surpassing even our wildest dreams; Tanner York, whose creativity, influence and dedication was absolutely transformative to the record in the months following its recording; Eilee Centeno, who enthusiastically documented the recording process and was with us every step of the way; Joe Centeno, who probably believed in this album more than anyone and whose advice was necessary in many anxious spurts with these songs; Gloree Centeno, the greatest support we could ever ask for whose help was essential to this album; Gabriella Danerlöv, who came up with ideas for and gave advice about lyrics, music, aesthetics and merch, and who always was a support; Oskar Ytterbom and Adrian Wahlöf, who encouraged songs and ideas during the songwriting process; Annika Löfvendahl, who lent her piano for demo recording and along with Erik Löfvendahl, Johannes Löfvendahl, Fanny Rosenberg, Rosa Häggbom, Melvin Schröder and anyone else who wanted to listen to half finished demos and rough mixes; and all the other musical contributors--Will Elliott, Caelan Burris, Nathan McMurray and Clara Lampikin, whose talents brought our ideas to life.
