I remember Sunrise landing on our coats And I was a child Adjecent to you Finding home in your vacant arms Laughter in the frigid air With a warmth both foreign and familliar But when it left me there was nothing I could do As the miles obscured us For too long and the years deferred It was beautiful how you'd never waste a smile Though the sorrow was tamed Within your voice it could not hide Punctuated In telephone lines To you I owe my life From absence to inches Your spirit found in mine And all I needed was to see you again But I will find my way to you until then

We are two strangers on a park bench We are nervous and talking about weather as we watch our horizon And it's futile possibilities But I remember everything From the tone to the edits of your lies And you're biding time while i've been keeping score When you invited the arson to this house You backed away from the flames and laughed And your true colors came to focus like an overcast We're miles away yet sleeping in the same bed And i'm losing my cool And you know what you do

Stubborn Currents Frozen Over 05:32

I am bored with the rays of the sun Seizing the day With idle intentions Until the dusk is panting outside And dims with every breath Never moving Like a tourist bound in place By the thawing of his ankles Tomorrow is replaced With what should be a memory But is only a coma On this amensia calender I am out of recollection These moments buried in the sediment Wrinkles in this river That form beside my path Forward, where a staircase inverts In a place where the air is cut in half One half is the risk And the other is the warning The past will devine And answer all that was I am bored with the rays of the sun Seizing the day with idle intentions Until the dusk is panting outside And dims with every breath A year is born Future untethered Will time find the rest of me

We met them On suspicion Their suspicion As they stained the sidewalk neon blue Quota fangs salivate And we've become the cooperating prey We've found ourselves On the wrong side of nothing And the sirens are laughing at us Power drunk and protocol Barking questions Demanding our intentions Looking for the panic in our eyes Finding only The boredom in mine Sniffing away at the pockets And wasting the battery in their flashlights But search us all you want No drugs will hide Now if you're done with us we'll be on our way

P: Ever smashed a banana in a girls ear? Huh? Bet you ain't done that shit huh. Y'ever just unpeeled a bannana and went (sound effect) right in her ear? J: Who'd you do that to? P: My friend. J: What'd she do afterwards? P: Got pissed. I mean, What would you do if you had smushed-up banana on the side of your head?

Verse 1 You were in my reflection Unnerving impressions that pulled me in Found your demons In my likeness Buried in all the weight of my blame There are histories under our skin only to be Denied And unspoken But we found a language In the unrevealed Chorus There we froze Surrounded By our fears and if I go Under I'm taking you with me In unison Verse 2 In a slipstream of cursing Unfocused fingerpointing My own fault was hard to find There was hardly a time When her eyes met mine Never to know what they hide Chorus out

about

Atrophy is somewhat of a running joke I had with myself about this record (sorry it took so long) and the title also serves as a testament to what i've learned and applied as a producer and individual. At the time I started working on this I had a limited amount of resources to create, However I felt that these compositions were born out of necessity rather than the luxury of having various tools at my reach. With every sound you may hear in this music; Every single one was a learning process. Which often times left me with mixed feelings of excitement and resentment towards this learning curve and the project in general. In "Atrophy", I wrote about experiences of mine within a particular six year period of my life. From losing my mother, to Deconstructing hopelessness, and finding love in someone who mirrors the worst parts of you as a person...and resenting them for it. Atrophy is my reaction to what could happen if I were to not use my creativity and expression as a means to actually feel alive. No matter how challenging or foreign the process may be, The most frightening thing is always is not knowing what could have happened.
