Catharsis 04:18
I wanna know your love but Im just mopped in soggy answers It makes no difference when every week is new years eve Echo chamber warrior with a big ole' feel for laying around still feel nothing for you cuz my head is weighing towards the ground Oh whoo hoo hoo hoo oh woo hoo hoo Oh whoo hoo hoo hoo oh woo hoo hoo Maybe I can get down like that get busy like Im in the city the city the city but just a flash in the pan a cathartic release I wanna have big plans you wanna have no ends I wanna have big plans you wanna rear youre head I wanna have big plans Im sick of these idle hands You wanna have no ends you want Oh whoo hoo hoo hoo oh woo hoo hoo Oh whoo hoo hoo hoo oh woo hoo hoo And when you're slaving away for some minimum pay and you wanna knock off but you know that you need the cash when the one that you loves walking right out the door for the things that you said that you know that you cant take back when the name of the game is attacking the pain and you cant land a punch and you fall back on your ass when you're sick and you're drunk and you wanna go home but you know that you cant let your family see whats left Oh whoo hoo hoo hoo oh woo hoo hoo Oh whoo hoo hoo hoo oh woo hoo hoo

Take your lumps and shutter a love go's under cover with a hate that stands real tall hit me with a head shot circle round the dead spots buzzards beck and call cuz i'm dying when it seems you're doing okay and i'm dying when i'm here all alone and you were lying to my face when you said don't ever chance cuz Ive never felt so small holly rollar stutter but i cant even cover the holes left in my head sitting in the water boat without a rudder shipwreck left for dead cuz i'm dying when it seem you're doing okay and i'm dying when i'm here all alone and I was lying to my face when I said I need a change cuz Ive never felt so small Okay I think Ive figured it out A lie I tell everyone else But im still waiting for some luck Wanna feel okay with myself but know I feel Like someone else Trap door I never figured it out Wanted to clear my head and we were never perfect but this lonely walks got me caught on things from yesterday We were silent in the kitchen we were smoking in you're car hiding in the basement but you're parents knew for sure lying in my bedroom when I didn't know you're name wanna feel you're love up don't wanna feel this pain When I broke you're roommates mirror and I blamed it on my friends none of us remember so we watch the story bend don't wanna hurt you baby but I think this is where we end cuz you cant give me no options Hate to say these words but I miss you Hate to say these words but I miss you Hate to say these words but I miss you Hate to say these words but I miss you

Lying awake in the ditch I dig Run it back up the stairs Riding through the warm old fog thats tangled me for years I've been stuck on something been gone so long Hold me in its arms and give me flesh and blood Stepping in the mud again splash my back time to pretend I am on and I will win In my youth and In my head I just wanna be like you never caught between green and blue seem to lose the happenstance cut my teeth on ritalin You say you don't know but you tell me anyway You say you cant go but I see you there I'm almost crying I'm almost crying so just tell what did I say I just wanna redo Thought that you were my friends but I never see you so just tell what did I say I just wanna redo Thought that you were my friends (You say you don't know but you tell me anyway You say you cant go but I see you there I'm almost crying I'm almost crying ) These things take time take my time take my time If its a part of who you are don't know the words but I got the scars wanna step back like who are you all on my own with nothing to prove If its a part of who you are don't know the words but I got the scars wanna step back like who are you all on my own with nothing to lose

A glorious mess we wake and we find our best a partial mask fades in the morning trap and you're still Taking you're pictures, Watching the floor, sitting in traffic In Newark Semi's on fire, my bot weighs a ton, woke up this morning and got a gun Garden state, roll me away, take me to beaches, cover my hate Ive been afraid, Of what I might say, Is it to real or is it passing But time won't wait sat in my care as you're walking away cuz I can't face my Problems when somethings at stake and I know that you're Tired and I know that you're weak Cuz I feel the same way can't stand up to the heat In the Florida sun, as we sat on that beach Watched it all fall Down Watched it all fall Down

Wanna find words that don't sit like the others Cuz nothing i've said can put wind in your sails To change your direction right back to before with eyes wide at coffee like how do we know late nights I call you but no one picks up so I'll just lay here and stare at the wall

Big Sky 04:03
Running through big sky country Ernies Grinning through his teeth Plane's blinking and It fades it star light your body aches and its hard to sleep heard casino's running wild heard his mothers feeling weak hopscotch and needles under sneakers when Jesus comes we will be at his feet but the martyr fakes it and the saints get stricken down wash away sin but its spit right back and I just wanna find away to take you're love and turn it all back round just wanna find a way to say... Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Running to far Ive been frustrated Running to fast Ive been sedated Running to far Ive been frustrated Running to fast Ive been sedated (Things you build inside till they all come roud) (Things you build inside till they all spill out) (Things you build inside till they all come roud) (Things you build inside till they all spill out) the martyr fakes it and the saints get stricken down wash away sin but its spit right And i just wanna find away to take your love and hold it for another day when i'm falling out, draw the shades and hiding under covers How can define ourselves when All we have is faith in one and other how come we can't find the words to say Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Running through big sky country an exodus or a summer treat sun beaming in the cracks in plaster till Jesus comes we will be on our knees

LC 03:34
Passed out on the couch again and feeling like the end of days is fast approaching crick my neck and curl my toes in but I wanna let my hair down wanna feel the light, the love, the rush of all the people I can barely stand A perfect way to turn your frown around to finally to say the the things you couldn't say out loud In the morning you might find you're not too proud What kind of person could ask for more Friday night's even so we settle the score falling asleep under highway lights Ya... Think you're so easy but whats your choice Crack my head open and lose my voice cigarette sips take on the weight of everything else and i'm so excited fate rewinded I wanna feel something more than just my heavy eyelids Round the margins But talk is all that it is

Waist deep and bottled up, trace the lines down through my chest Eyes laid on a new day, or time to regress My morning reprieve, gives way at the seems, then Im struck, then Im stuck in mud With lilacs that loom in the darkness with liquor and love in my heart with ritalin and reds they mess with my head, but somehow I feel more alive Sticks and stones and the weight of your bones are the things that we carry Through high school, to heartache, to college, cull de sac dreams Rather lay in your bed, then have your face turn red cuz you know you always say the wrong thing this migraine has lasted for hours this come down has lasted for days when the weight of the world falls down at your door you need a pick me up to tip it your way no honor in our crumbling standards but the mirror stands to shoot dirty looks I hate myself, I'd face myself, but I ain't got the guts to just stand in myself and stare on With lilacs that loom in the darkness with liquor and love in my heart with ritalin and reds they mess with my head, but somehow I feel more alive But lilacs don't bloom in the darkness and liquor don't put love in your heart and ritalin and reds they fuck with my head but I guess I knew that from the start Yeah I guess I knew that from the start Well your whole life has been billed to this moment but you stutter and the moment has passed you think how could I hold such gold in my hand Well for people like us it don't last And the morning is fast approaching I can see the glimmer of light When you are caught on the things you used to be, you think god could I have one more night You think god could I have one more night I read your face and It looked like It said you don't know me Well the years they go by and the bruises they start to add up cement the cruise control riding around on my highway and the exits they come and they go but I never get off and the kindness you show don't matter to me cuz Im angry and I bark and I bite at the people that I love the most When you're over the hill and your best days are behind you Its hard not to wallow when you know that you have let them down Taking another drag Holding your deepest breath wondering when things will change they have to get better but everybody's moving on Writing stained on the wall and all I can think about is the shit that got stuck in my head You're stuck in my head Stuck in my head...

about

This album is a collection of thoughts and feelings of my life in the period immediately following covid. It was of one of the most viscerally dark times of my life.
It explores heartache, addiction, depression, ADHD, and loss, direct to its sleeve.
My only hope for this record is for people to feel heard.
Everyone is deserving of kindness.
I know what it feels like to be your own worst enemy
I know what its like to constantly fail yourself
Why does it feel impossible?
why am I always so far away?
Never forget that the person you are right now is loved.

Special thanks to all to all the people who have supported me:
My parents: whose patience has been unwavering.
Gab: for Showing me what true love is.
My friends: your support and belief in me is so incredibly humbling. none of the this would be possible without you guys
Most of all this album this album is would not be possible without My number one fan Austin. This album is dedicated to him.

Liam we love and miss you.
