A non-album single in advance of full-length LP, Lead (coming fall 2016)

lyrics

I'm going to stand on stage
and peel my skin away.
Oh--you're still hiding underneath
all of these bloody, brittle sheets--
I'm going to do it anyways.

I made a hole of my body,
I made a show of my bed.

I'm going to run from you
when faced with any truth.
I can only make sense of it
when I have put some distance in
I know this is what cowards do.

My heart is nothing until I write it down
I dip my pen into the blood where it is found.
Roses and embers, I spill them to the ground.
I'm painting pictures of my lovers in the sound.

No, you were never mine.
But, I don't pay that no mind.
I'd let you touch me until I die
so I can keep setting your name in rhyme.
I'll sing it out so melancholy, oh, give me all of your pity.

My heart is nothing until I write it down.
I dip my pen into the blood where it is found.
Roses and embers, I spill them to the ground.
I'm painting pictures of my lovers in the sound.

How cruel am I, darling?
How cruel am I?

My heart is nothing until I write it down.
I dip my pen into the blood where it is found.
Roses and embers, I spill them to the ground.
I'm painting pictures of my lovers in the sound.

I made a hole of my body,
I made a show of my bed.

With a full length album and seven EPs planned for the year, the path to its completion will undoubtedly be long and toilsome. This project’s focus is on the internal struggles and relationships that inform the way we interact with the world. ... more
