i'll say what i think get myself a drink why is everything pink? should i begin to sink? if you like to be free so please stand next to me it would make me more comfy to see this band we wanted to see is it getting hot in here feel like i gotta disappear never thought that i could shed a tear over thoughts that were planted here "everything is worth a try right until the day you die then it's all just a waste of time cuz you could've got a better job sucks y'gotta live in this generation these kids will never know what frustration is and you are always gonna be pissed to see what the next big thing is and it is always gonna be shit and you are never gonna be impressed" dont you *shortness of breath* (not keep) your mind open don't be a shut-in and don't hide what you love and if you think there is heaven above then don't you be afraid to shove away the people that you don't trust you don't have room for any of the fucks survive, and dive into what you love* expand your mind and heaven is wherever you want

secrets 01:07
wake up and fall back asleep to dream of me lost in a tree of emotions that lead generations of kids who start to hate their parents never wanted to talk said "shouldn't keep [it on lock]" open your mouth let it walk towards the door let it stalk and watch the people like "fuck, is this the day my death comes?"

about

"in the basement" is something I would often say to my parents to avoid any immediate responsibility, conversation, or decision. It was a safe space. Essentially this is an album with no external influence created in a timeless desolate, recorded in one take and separated quickly to be uploaded within a day.

credits

released November 23, 2015

i had a three string guitar, (probably the flu) and my phone to record it on.

(volume alters, and song transitions are not seamless)
