If Only 05:20
Weary eyes awaiting sleep Been so long since I could feel The cold pavement wrapped around my bones Voices clouding up my mind A taste is all that I need Carve your melody in my spine and sing Cut my arms maybe then I will stop Cut my arms maybe I’ll fucking stop Cut my arms maybe then I will stop To numb this pain Cut my arms maybe then I will stop Cut my arms maybe I’ll fucking stop Cut my arms maybe then I will stop To fade away Every day's the same happiness in vain What else can I win if I have everything Tell me who dealt my cards every hand’s the same What else can I lose if I lost everything Sink me under cardboard floors You sedate and leave me whole Run your gold lips on my tongue Become a part of me If only I’ve tried To search for a different feeling If only I’ve tried To see myself for what’s beneath

Medicate 04:17
I felt it coming 'round again Like a shiver crawling up my skin Endless aching digging into bones This anomaly might kill Me! Don't fucking follow me! When every wall you built around you will break / Medicate When you expose yourself for every mistake / Medicate When pressure leaves you numb like a tourniquet / Medicate Wasting days seems like a past time I seek to medicate Like a drug that alleviates Every guilt I felt buried inside of me Picture grey clouds over happy streets This anomaly might kill Me! Don't fucking follow me! Don't follow me

Cighid 04:01
Salivate as you’re letting go Once a burden in your life now nothing anymore Walk away in your lavish clothes Once a mother that was in my life not anymore And it felt like that day colored skies have turned to grey And it felt like that day I was alone Now you’re gone! Left abandoned and hallow In a place where a mother’s love is vital Muttered cries soak the soil inside of my grave And it felt like that day a child’s heart shattered All went astray And it felt as if my innocence was raped Stripped from me Why? You left me here Hell shouldn’t feel this real And I’m on my own No one believed in me Is there an angel that visits me? While I drown in a mire Neglected by a choice you made but still I starve for any love you’d give And I wish that one day your shit heart breaks And every piece of it will slow decay so you can feel the way I feel Every single fucking day I sit and pray To see your face Now you’re gone! Now you’re gone! Fucking gone! Look what you’ve done to me!

Deliverance 04:22
Hey look me dead in the eyes and preach your meanings of life I don't believe in Sick of your plastic disguise call me a faulty design who won't believe in Lies! (I'm so fucking sick my ignorance is bliss I won't believe you even if you spoon feed me shit) One more lie! (I won't bend or break so keep pulling) One last lie! (I won't ever fall so keep pushing) How could I confess my sins If I ain't got one Stare at the sun and pray Who do you believe in? Spit in my eyes while you read another chapter deceiving all these fools that gathered Make me drink water while I keep crawling under your skin like a serpent you'll falter Now preach your God to me!

Kennel 05:33
Confessions retrieve my thoughts Lost somewhere hanging down from the stars The sky opened a silent fall Embraced by darkness swallowing me whole Lost here forever in a world that's so cold Time has no value when inside you've grown old Memories framed in broken canvases hold What's left of me And I retreat to safer arms I'm crawling back to the start Retreat to safer arms To slumber far Serenity come fill me whole The silence keeps reminding me that I'm alone

Slum Garden 04:25
Wither away under a cloud so grey Walking blindly through the pouring rain Bare skin cracked the smell of clay Wish I may, but I'm too far away Can't recognize myself / I can't believe One has to lose so much just to see A pale reflection of who I used to be The needle and the damage done / I can't believe Set out to be someone, since I couldn't be myself Born to die or try to live inside this hell Littered ruins an unsafe place Scattered by the slum digging at my veins Life grows harder when you can't be yourself You're wasting so much if you can't help yourself

about

When I started putting music together for this debut EP, I had a lot of emotional baggage to sort through. From addiction, to different depths of depression to inspirations from other people's lives and past experiences, I tried to encapsulate each feeling throughout those six songs.

This project was never meant to be a ''happy'' one and I never intended it to be that way. As humans, we tend to pull a lot of creativity out of the darker portions of our lives and as we do, we often medicate that way.

I would also like to dedicate this project to Mitel - I hope you finally found peace, wherever you are, from the demons that you carried for so long with you and that never let go. For anyone that battles drug addiction - please stay strong - there is a light shining at the end of the tunnel.
