Baby Teeth 02:16
I'm at the halfway point To being halfway dead Remember holidays and first times? No, I already forgot them But when does magic die? Is it in the root of a baby tooth? There's something about growing up It sucks And in somebody else's eyes I am still a child But one day I will be that somebody else I need some kinda map To tell me exactly where to go If I have to make one more choice I think I'm going to explode But when does time sneak by? Is it through the back of algebra class? There's something about getting older It sucks And in somebody else's eyes I am still a child But one day I will be that somebody else And in my own eyes I am still a child But one day I might be a somebody Oh please, just let me be Somebody

To Love Me 02:43
Walking around with my head in the clouds And I know what they'll say to me, know what they'll say, they'll say "I don't know how you keep falling for mouths That say what you wanna hear, say what you wanna hear" Say what I wanna hear I wanna hear yes It's easy To love me To love me I wanna hear yes It's easy To love me To love me Walking for miles without feeling a smile And I'm scared that I'm turning, I'm scared that I'm turning Into something wild or an arrogant child Or a force that is pushing the door to your heart shut I wanna hear yes It's easy To love me To love me I wanna hear yes It's easy To love me To love me Don't wanna hear you think I'm like my mother Don't wanna hear you think I'm gonna smother you Don't wanna hear about the ways in which I'm broken Or breaking you I wanna hear yes It's easy To love me To love me Oh won't you say yes? Say it's easy To love me Say you love me

It's raining, and my feet are soaked I wore the wrong shoes on purpose I guess you could say I like to ruin things But really it's more of a tendancy To dress how I want the weather to be Rather than how it is, how absurd of me I know this is the last time I will walk To your house and I don't mind it at all I feel relieved that I could be done Would you be angry if you knew I was seeing somebody knew? Well, don't worry, I'm already heartbroken anew I got peeled Like an orange Dripping naked I was pouring Out the essence Of me That was unknown To even me I tried to be sweet I tried to be sweet Did I succeed? Tell me I tried to be sweet I tried to be sweet Did I succeed?

Tetris Game 04:21
I think about you constantly I'm full of shame You're throwing off my tetris game I said, "I like you a lot" You said, "I love you too" Well, you misheard me but I didn't correct you Let's just get married if we're going to fight You wanna be my safe haven, I wanna stay the night Aprons and quesadillas in a kitchen for us Anniversaries and washing dishes, our domestic love If I wanted to control you, I'd still be around But you got the remote, your remote island all to yourself I hope I get a chance to pass you on the street So I can ignore you and show you what you don't mean to me

about

With the exception of track 2, all of these are songs I wrote when I was 20 years old in 2014. They are very much about "me being 20 years old." I recorded them by myself on my laptop with a USB mic.

While I'm in a band now, I still find making music alone very enjoyable. With the latest version of GarageBand, I found myself able to do much more than I never could before. I find "fake" instruments to be charming, and I am always grateful when our robot overlords give me a chance to feel a little less lonely.
