Suitcases 02:37
The red sky is slowly burning tonight The tides are turning And I can take us out to sea See it right through that I I'll leave the suitcases by the door We'll build a castle right on the shore How do you stay still on the floor Don't you want more Get me out, I don't care where we go Somehow this place no longer feels like a home I swear I'll hold you I never told you To just not fall apart I know you're bursting at the seams I know it seems like it's hard Oh, won't you sail away with me Sail away with me I'll leave the suitcases by the door We'll build a castle right on the shore How do you stay still on the floor Don't you want more

Andromeda 03:29
I like to think that you're out in space and Flying high next to Andromeda My heart sinks every time the sun comes up I wanna feel your heaven touch So if you're out there, just know that I care Can you send me a signal, can you let me know? Are we lonely (you don't call my name) Are we lonely (you don't call my name) Man, it feels like you're light years away But wherever you are, I hope that you're doing ok And I'd still like to see you again some day Are we lonely (you don't call my name) Are we lonely (you don't call my name) When you look out at the sky at night Do you think of me at all? I still think of you Can you send me a signal Can you let me know Are we doomed to be lonely?

Unglued 04:22
I did what I said I wouldn't do today You knew I lied when I said I was ok I wish I never grew up, I only know being young Now this party has stopped being fun Searching for an open door Hoping that there's something more 'Cause I'm lost and there's nowhere to run I don't know what I should do Everything's come unglued I don't know what I should do Everything's come unglued And I can't repair it Now it's falling down, the home that I built for us It stood on a ground a little too treacherous I wish I never let go of the best thing I would know Too proud to say I can't do it alone It's getting harder to breathe, hoping for any reprieve I'm afraid and there's no hand to hold I don't know what I should do Everything's come unglued I don't know what I should do Everything's come unglued And I can't repair it

Lose You Yet 02:04
This home is only what we make of it And I know what it means to be afraid But I am so into the way it makes me feel reflections aren't there Who knew dreams coming true would culminate in such a nightmare My head is spinning out, I can't explain it Tried to get rid of what was ruining my life but only replaced it And I can't lose you Don't wanna lose you yet And I can't lose you Don't wanna lose you yet And I can't lose you Don't wanna lose you yet And I can't lose you Don't wanna lose you yet

Butterfly 02:54
This morning I, I saw the sun rise up above your silhouette And let me see you for what you are and what you aren't I'm a lot to take in and I'm not really what you need right now So I'll take the lid off I'll take the lid off I'll take the lid off On my nightstand, kept you in a jar Jailed your little heart but Had no reason why I couldn't let you fly I admit I don't always say what I mean every time that we speak But is that what you wanted Is that what you wanted Is that what you wanted Oh, isn't that what you wanted Is that what you wanted Is that what you wanted Is that what you wanted I did it for you I did for you I tried Oh baby, I tried And a thousand times I let things go a little too far

Sedated 01:33
Let the spirits wash me clean And pull me out of this bad dream The salt I've given in return Doesn't burn Can't just walk this off So I top it off The only thing I want Is to become sedated

about

This EP was made all over the place. Since I do the "production" on my phone, I was able to toil away at it in an array of places - a few I maybe shouldn't have (let's just say I didn't take many notes in my lectures. Also, if you walked in on me at my receptionist job and I was glued to my phone and took forever to notice you I'm sorry). I worked on planes and buses, I mixed tracks on broken headphones (I accidentally put them through a full wash and dry cycle), I recorded vocals in random desolate parking lots, and I awkwardly excused myself from social events to make voice memos when new melodies popped into my head. I broke down when I couldn't get things to sound "just right" and then learned to accept that there can be beauty in imperfection. Sure, most of the mixes here are kind of "off" (see Andromeda). But maybe that's part of the charm. Well, that's what I'm telling myself to make myself feel better.

So, here it is, in all its flawed glory: "Sad Devotion".

Made with love and tears.

P.S. If you read all this incoherent rambling, you're amazing.
