i didn’t want to take any of your money and you were just a kid who never got her way i always take the blame i always say i’m sorry crying only serves just to make things worse i never feel at home i want to be alone thought you would care but your cult and car came first father son and the holy ghost im not your son, im his spirit… im his ghost… your past is your fate and you know you know that i know and that it’ll only get worse you haven’t seen me at my worst we never seem to talk you never come around you never built me up, you always let me down the woman in my eyes i despise cause i always feel alone i cant call either house a home god i feel so old tonight my cieling’s stars don’t burn so bright you want me there, i want a home this cardboard house, i’m here alone you cant admit your fucking sins you wait for me to let you in but ive outgrown my unborn self you told me “not to be your self” you’ve lost control my fucking clothes you don’t own a fucking home you lost you lost you lost you lost Daughters (II) i’m tired of giving myself away there’s hardly anything left i wish i could learn to take take take i wish that i could scream “fuck you” at the top of my god damn lungs, but i can’t not in front of you Daughters (III) You kept your faith my nice new name before today cant say to your face i’m sorry, and ilove you but you know that, are you sorry too? did i mean it? i don’t know yet are you home yet and god i wish i could tell you everything that you don’t want to know if you could only hear me then you’d see right through me one day we’ll meet again but would you recognize me then?
7.	The Only Times I Feel Alive 05:20	lyrics	buy track
While my arms aren’t long enough in your car, we can drive far enough i’m painting a portrait of what we could be your hands in my hair and we’re falling asleep these are the only times i feel alive when you’re by my side cause you’re eyes… i’m so lost in your skies your hands melt in mine i find myself thinking too much then i find myself missing your touch just when the songs about to end we find ourselves staying a little longer again these are the only times i feel alive

about

after 10 months, i finished this album in June of 2022. it started as an EP originally consisting of rerecordings of previous releases, and maybe one or two new tracks, but i realized that i had a lot more to say than i originally intended. the two new tracks weren't enough. i found that these new songs all shared similar common themes. deconstruction, family, love, queerness, i found myself writing about the happy and shitty things present in my life. some of the issues i wrote about are in the past, like i don't think about them anymore. some things remain very present in my life today.
i think these songs are as vulnerable as i can get through writing. there are a lot of lyrics cut from this album, ones i thought were too transparent. due to bad habit of deleting old drafts, a lot of these lyrics are lost to time. maybe they'll come to me again.
i wrote the first song from this album in september of last year. it was 'the only times i feel alive'. I recorded this version of the song at the same time as i recorded the acoustic version, which i immediately released. everything else came after this song. it felt right for it to be the last track on the album.
i think i'm rambling at this point.
its my birthday today.

anyways, i hope you enjoy the album. its not ibsen, sure, but i like it.
