about

The last track I wrote for the EP, and it shows.
I think it is the only song, that isn't inherently flawed from the outset.
I wrote, recorded, mixed, and then left it alone for roughly four months.
While every other song on the EP, constantly was being updated, and reworked to try to match quality wise.
I don't believe any of the other songs ever did quite match quality wise, but that is wonderful in its own way. It is a document of how much my skills developed along the way.
And I look forward to creating, and writing music, above and beyond what I achieved with this EP, and this song.

lyrics

I want to be alone
Without being lonely
So I’ll jump in a crowd
I'll jump into the sea
Try to relax and respect
Whats in you and me
Cause in our own way
we all want to be alone
Without being lonely

I want to watch
Without having to talk
I'm terrified to be me
I'm scared of what they want to see
Of what comes when
Everything's gone to silence
Its not that i hate people
I'm not quite that violently evil
Its not that I don’t want to talk
I just don't want to do it a lot
Basically its not
Whatever you think it is
So just stop
Because its foolish
To think you understand
A completely different planned
Person that’s hurting
In places you don't have
I'm just being frank
I'm just saying if I sank
You wouldn't know
How my boat
ever stayed afloat

I want to be alone
Without being lonely
So I’ll jump in a crowd
so I'll jump into the sea
Try to relax and respect
Whats in you and me
Cause in our own way
we all want to be alone
Without being lonely

I don't do well at parties
I can barely sleep
Much less eat
Life's not so much a breeze
But leaves in a windtunnel
Spinning at speeds
That are ghastly
But i want to be neat
And just meet 
New folks to greet
Move peoples feet
Be called sweet
But have no one
Notice that I creep
Away from all seats
Into a corner 
And feel like a freak
I can't understand you
But you can't understand me
Because we are two 
Completely different beasts
spinning in space
dreaming in the aether
trying to find a place
to tie and tether
before we tire
of the same weather

I want to be alone
Without being lonely
So I’ll jump in a crowd
so I'll jump into the sea
Try to relax and respect
Whats in you and me
Cause in our own way
we all want to be alone
Without being lonely

I'm scared of crowds
I'm scared by loud
Noises and doubts
I'm scared of being alone
But if you let fear control you
It will strangle and it will hold you
If you let self doubt
Decide what you are about
You'll be never more 
Anything else but or
What you fear they see
But i promise thee
What they think
Can and will shrink
Just blink back fears
But let the tears fall
That is all
Be true to who you are
And you will go so far
Be good to others and to yourself 
And the rest will slowly melt
There will be days
When all we can do
Is scream, ask or pray 
To any and all who
Could save us
But that's enough
That's human
So let walk across the next bend
Hand in hand
and stop trying to defend
where sorrows land
and plan tomorrows person instead
