I wrote these songs to break down old patterns and rebuild them into new things. Writing them helped me get unstuck. Recording them helped me take a step forward. I'm so excited to be able to share them with you now :)
keep going.
Heart Shaped Hologram
I lie awake when I'm alone and I picture us
I dance with your mirage
Oh, I keep forgetting
you're somewhere else with someone real
you're laughing in their arms
While I'm in the dark
I don't know why I keep you in this
Heart shaped hologram
Oh I take you everywhere I am
It almost seems like you're with me
Even though a heart shaped hologram
could never love me back or hold my hand
I still don't know
how to let you go
I miss the way it used to feel when you’d reach for me
Was that just make believe
Oh, I keep forgetting
I close my eyes and you appear
like you’re my favorite dream
This can’t be good for me
I don’t know why I keep you in this
(chorus)
I say I don’t need anybody
I keep you with me like a ghost
What if I’m just terrified I might not even know
What to do with someone who
could love me back for real
(chorus)
I STILL TASTE FIRE
I woke up with ashes in my mouth
It took a while to spit them out
I remember laying my head down
Did I go up in flames
Again
Oh, I still taste fire
Oh, I still taste fire
I know it had to start somewhere inside
I swear I felt my heart ignite
When it finally let you go last night
did I go up in flames
Something changed
(chorus)
Thought I’d always remember what it felt like
to want you
But it’s all kinda hazy now
almost like I burned it down
Thought I’d always remember what it felt like
to want you
But it’s all kinda hazy now
(chorus)
TIL YOU SAY SO
Some days just get messy
make you dizzy, knock you out
But you're seeing stars on the way down, down down
What if it's that moment
where you stand up and show them all
you fight twice as hard after you fall
It's not over till you say so
You might be the greatest
You can turn this all around
Come on, get yourself up off the ground
It's not over till you say so
Til you say so
It's not over till you say so
Whenever it seems like it might be too late
remember there's no such thing
Don't let go
It's not over
It's not over
It's not over till you say so
Unstoppable
You were the voice inside my head that said impossible
Threw down your words like barricades so you could watch me fall
It fueled me
Oh, you built the walls that I had to climb
Oh, so many times
Now I’m unstoppable
Tried to hold me back but you made me unstoppable
Showed me what I am
It made me unstoppable
Unstoppable
Unstoppable
Ran through the noise til I was past the point of no return
Broke through the lies, made them collapse
And you watched em burn behind me
Oh, you built the walls that I had to climb
Oh, so many times
(chorus)
Every single day I ran to see how far I could get
Til I only heard the sound of my own voice in my head
It said
(chorus)
Call it What You Want To
Could have been galaxies apart
But somehow you and I are here
Trying to figure out if where we are right now
is happenstance or engineered
Call it what you want to
Oh, I’m glad I’ve got you
Got you by my side
Something beautiful let us collide
Call it what you want to
They say that we are made of dust
That we’re the same as every star
Whatever’s happening, I just know it means
I get to be here where you are
(chorus)
We may never know
But I think we’re getting close
So
(chorus)
