about

This is the newest track on this EP, it was written sometime after the summer of 2020 as I was trying to process what I really needed to be free. Even in sobriety, you can still land yourself in familiar traumas and fighting old behaviors. With everything, progress and process. None of us are perfect and we could all use a slower pace every now and again to figure out who we are and what we really need. I'm grateful for the two therapists I saw during this time to help me get my head screwed on and lead me to a path I'm much happier living. Patience is a gift and we owe it to ourselves to grow that fuse as long as possible.

lyrics

I've got flies in my coffee
But the temperature is fine
I've got silence in my pocket
Of my own design
There's flowers in the attic
And the smell is rotten flesh
The shit that's in the basement
Is getting laid to rest

Go slow

I go down to the river
Try to cleanse my soul
But my skin begins to shiver
As I breach the swimming hole
The sun begins to shimmer
Along the water's edge
And shared among the fishes
The whispers of their dread

Go slow
Go slow

The air begins to thicken
There's a fire in my lungs
My brain begins to sicken
Goin' back to days when young
This mood, it creeps so slowly
And in seconds, it consumes
I can't conceal the heavy
When I walk into the room

Go slow
Go slow, slow, slow slow....

Skulls & Butterflies

It is the breaking of my heart and the triumphs you obtain when you smash through walls. Life is pain, it's suffering, but it's also beautiful because of it. Lyrics just as raw and honest as I am, maybe even more so. An intense, emotional ride. My heart on my sleeve, the baring of my soul. ... more
