Beholden 03:16
I've been waiting so long for you to see that you are beholden to me You made an empty promise but it's one that you will keep So be what you said you would be "It's better to be grounded than to fly too close to the sun" That mantra won't suffice We'll have to find a new one For without love There is no heartache But I cannot sleep alone And I'm alright But I've been better The heaviest I've ever been is with you on my mind There was a light that kept knocking at my door But I turned away; it wasn't you Gone for forty years And 21 I've spent alone Give me a lie Give me a light You wouldn't feel this grounded if you flew closer to the sun Although you are imperfect, I think your time has come For without love There is no heartache But I cannot sleep alone And I'm alright But to be honest The heaviest I've ever been is with you on my mind Where will you be Where will you be Where will you be when the regret sets in? For without love There is no heartache But I cannot sleep alone And I'm alright But to be honest The heaviest I've ever been is with you on my mind

Cálmate 02:19
I don't want you around But I don't want to lose you That's tougher than I thought it would be to say out loud But you sat in sick rigidity and rolled your eyes past me You might wait for a long time yet Coming home to an empty bed Chasing voices inside your head Don't you know that all things change Now we will never be the same When you cut me down while I praised your name You're a love I can live without I hope that all you put me through Is right there next to you Don't drink too much - you might say something Don't think too much - you might hurt something And tonight's not your night So get out of the moonlight Don't you know that all things change Now never will we be the same When I felt as much love as you felt shame You're a friend I can live without I was told that it is patient I was told it is kind But you were neither of the two Now I'm crooning to you That now you're wondering where I'll go Well, it's better than with you - that I know

You've a right to be everything to someone other than myself I cannot hold you if you go but let me know if you'd like to stay what you are 'cause it feels like home And since I was a young boy I thought you without me was more like a decent writer without tragedy And all I wanted was for you to gussy up and look me in the eye And tell me that another version of you'd be this hard to find Oh, how we've searched so long and still have yet to see the stars align To be left among all those we chose to leave behind I will find something new again to suture Autumn to for life I can't dismiss or condone what we are but it's on the line for the last time And all I wanted was for you to gussy up and look me in the eye And tell me that another version of you'd be this hard to find Oh, how we've searched so long and still have yet to see the stars align To be left among all those we chose to leave behind I won't be an idle one I won't wait for the suits to come Why should I have a forward mind When I'm still having all these dreams about high school?

Starving 01:50
Was it right To be mind ful of you from the very start Or am I wasting time by ceding my part Forgive for what I have said I was too hungry and spent too much time in bed Isn't it alone Isn't it alone Isn't it a lonely way to be Isn't it alone Isn't it alone Isn't it alone When you have everything you need to survive And you're starving I can't eat Can't sleep Can't feel can't think And I'm not sure that I ever could I feel like I've been wasting my own sovereignty If you think you'd use it more then please take it from me Isn't it alone Isn't it alone Isn't it a lonely way to be Isn't it alone Isn't it alone Isn't it alone When you have everything you need to survive And you're starving

about

These are recordings that are rough, entirely unmastered, and far from final. I just wanted to have *something* up - eventually these will be given the format they deserve.
