1.
recorded in brooklyn, NY borrowed: Josh's Acoustic. Olivia+Caleb's Strat It just never translates And the entrance is never constant Maybe it would just be safer to stay under Transparent hands don’t care So I’m stuck calling home, feeling awkward Why should something cost five dollars when it’s *slightly* less at home I have no money Someone gives their rib cage In exchange for fractured mirror Out of fear that certain pieces houses insects Starve yourself to live tomorrow Skip a meal to get to work on time A plastic slab can slowly make you tired yenom on evah I Counting down the days till I think it’s fine to beg again Because it takes a month to live like normal I don’t care if the water’s free When the cup to keep it burns my feet And the lid is made from skin grafts taken from me
2.
recorded in brooklyn, NY Borrowed: Jenna's Acoustic, which was in turn borrowed by Harry In a little while longer I can finally see you I can barely wait will I see you soon (tell me I’ll see you soon) In a little while longer I’ll be falling backwards When I see your face

recorded in nashville, TN and ithaca, NY borrowed: the Drums in the home of Lilac, TJ, and Hugo Stray yourself from template It costs your life Conversations will feel foreign In colourful flame of pride For similar bile You’ll still feel misplaced Is this how I want to live? An object meant to sit untouched?

recorded in nashville, TN and montreal, QC edited throughout tour borrowed: the sound of anything and anyone that was captured while walking through that strip of bars in Nashville, Alexina's Vox Wah pedal 1. for the benefit of two bucket drummers 2. Nashsnarephase 3. The sharp gaze within the Fuck Off bar 4. square dancing for some decent beer I genuinely don't know what this song is dude, if you know uh dm me I guess. 5. I just don’t feel safe being in overly white environments honestly so I don’t care anymore. "why do you look at me that way do I make you feel unsafe is my blouse making you feel nauseous hope you stay away if my face is what bothers you and you think I shouldn't be near you hope you choke on your alcohol and I'll take my leave" *commence guitar prolapse(* RIP TAKASHI MIZUTANI

recorded in nashville, TN + atlanta, GA + chicago, IL + brooklyn, NY borrowed: the rickety Organ in Audiotree's lobby, Sam's Acoustic, Justin's Jagstang adam manson: electric guitar, voice Bloody mouth, I have told you twice Please leave your tongue alone It’s too flooded with the saline bullshit That sprays and spreads as foam Bloody mouth, can’t you keep it down Can’t you keep that waste asleep Shattered teeth are no longer a dam for your screaming That screaming that flows Through all of my senses Smearing on the walls Glistening crimson Stained into skin Bloody mouth, cant you stop for once I’m trying to get some rest Your saliva will burn my skin Leaving holes inside my chest Bloody mouth, wish I could stitch you shut But you still would find a way To eat away the muzzle and Keep on screaming That screaming that flows Through all my senses And out through my veins Melted corroded bones

recorded in costa mesa, CA and brooklyn, NY borrowed: Caleb's Dad's Acoustic Bass and Classical Guitar Should I soften to the sounds of their hands in my mouth? Should I soften to the sounds? People say to leave the way you came But I don’t really know where I am And I don’t really know who I am Camouflage keeps spinning your head When all your instincts turn up red Paint by numbers feeling misled (paint by numbers feeling misled) But other people live in my head (but other people live in my head) And I don’t really know who I am (and I don’t really know who I am) (and I don’t really know who I am) (and I don’t really know who I am) Their hands are slipping under my tongue I’m sounding softer when it’s all done (I’m sounding softer when it’s all done) And I don’t really know who I am

about

recorded august-september 2022, in a large variety of places across the united states, during a life changing and utterly surreal experience.

the locations where I recorded, as well as credits for instruments//contributions that aren't mine, can be found in the lyrics.

Bonus Content:
- “Toursongs for Vanmak Sprinterim” Art, based on the art for sonder’s “Plainsongs for Bunmak Interim”, by Gwen Carleton is included with the album after purchase.
- Two Stereo Mixes of Little While Longer, based on some favourite 60s records.

thanks to my friends, who are sometimes heard on this record, for bearing with me being a weirdo and recording whatever.
special thanks to hojean for letting me play with you on the summer tour.

hope you enjoy
