Leaning far over the edge I'm a fool to even let this begin We're the flame in blustery winds And I'm a fool to let you in. Heart decay Hope destroys and tears away Set me free You're the demon that won't let go of me Fierce insecurities Crippling lies All in disguise As I love you Leaning far over the edge I'm a fool to even let this begin We're the flame in blustery winds And I'm a fool to let you in. Feel so dead Can't get up, can't move on, It's all been said. But you knew better Then you stabbed my deepest fears and you watched them while they bled Fierce insecurities your cold siren eyes Keeping the guise of I love you Leaning far over the edge I'm a fool to even let this begin We're the flame in blustery winds And I'm a fool to let you in. I can say it once and it rings true That I am done once and for all with you But if you chase me you know I'll turn right back I'm not strong enough for that I'm not strong enough for that. Leaning far over the edge I'm a fool to even let this begin We're the flame in blustery winds And I'm a fool to let you in. We're the flame in blustery winds And I'm a fool to let you in.

Sunrise 05:08
Something in his eyes, it keeps me guessing There's an answer why I've been here all this time And it's wrapped up in this ever-burning question Will the sun rise? There's an ever-rushing tide that keeps me steady Hope beyond the hope that sometimes fades away Hiding underneath the maybe and not ready Will he find another way? Moving on Towards or away All he knows is that he'll stay Running for the higher prize So much more than golden beams and empty eyes Will the sun rise? Chains on doors and empty hearths and closed up windows Things that he leaves behind but chase him in the dark Shame is all but fear and calls in distance echoes Is it all that we are? Moving on Towards or away All he knows is that he'll stay Running for the higher prize So much more than hollow halls and lilac skies Will the sun rise? His father left him standing at the station While the sky rumbled and turned to black and blue And now it haunts him every time that it starts raining And he doesn't understand when I say, "I will stay with you." He doesn't understand when I say, "I will stay with you." Moving on Towards or away All he knows is that he's gonna stay Running for the higher prize So much more than golden beams and empty eyes So much more than hollow halls and lilac skies So much more than what they say about you and I So much more than questioning the sunrise.

Sleepwalking 04:15
I can't sleep It's hard to breathe It's hard to say That they were right You're hard to keep, you wouldn't stay But I believed in the you you showed me I loved a man who would never owe me So who is standing in front of me now? I must be sleepwalking Cause I know this can't be true You must be sleep talking Cause this doesn't sound like you And there's a fine line between denial and despair Just a fool controlled by a broken heart Sleepwalking right into your stone cold arms. You left a hole I try to fill with plans and dreams But those were you You were supposed to be with me But I believed in the you you showed me I loved a man who would never owe me So who is standing in front of me now? I must be sleepwalking Cause I know this can't be true You must be sleep talking Cause this doesn't sound like you And there's a fine line between denial and despair Just a fool controlled by a broken heart Sleepwalking right into your stone cold arms. Who are you and why does this seem like the final ending? Where is the one that I once knew, oh were you just pretending? Who are you and why does this seem like the final ending? Where is the one that I once knew? I must be sleepwalking Cause this can't be happening I'll say you're sleep talking And I'll swear it's just a dream And when I wake up it'll be like nothing's changed And I'll act like you didn't tear me apart Sleepwalking in denial's loving arms.

You ask me to move along But I am weak and you are strong You move on You don't understand That you're all gone and that matters to me. You were here and now you're not I’m sure I should have forgotten What I had What I lost How I gave my all for nothing Can you keep our memories Cause I'm too sad to remember How you held me, how you held me In December. The summer sun cast deceit Then when snowfall came, you left me. The moments last til they fade away You are in the past and that matters to me. You were here and now you're not I’m sure I should have forgotten What I had What I lost How I gave my all for nothing Can you keep our memories Cause I'm too sad to remember How you held me, how you held me How you left me, how you left me In December. You're just fine Your days roll on But you were mine and that matters to me.

It's in the past I tell myself But it seems to last and last and last You are gone I tell myself But it seems to go on and on and on and on The past is still resounding Cause you won't let me mourn Your shadow’s all around me And I can't shake you. I'm still here I tell myself But I'm just fear and fear and fear I'm someone else You were true I tell myself But what if I didn't know you, you, you The past is still resounding Cause you won't let me mourn Your shadow’s all around me And I can't shake you. If you let go Then I'll be free But what is freedom If you're not here with me If you let go Then I'll be free But what is freedom If you're not here with me The past is still resounding Cause you won't let me mourn Your shadow’s all around me And I can't shake you.

Enough 04:10
Lay my head down In the bed where you used to be I can’t shake the feeling of your hands all over me. Too many years and too many blows Too many shame awards to show The doubt domination A break in my soul For the nights I believed you would never let go The lies and excuses were just cover-ups For that you didn’t love me enough Darling, you didn’t love me enough. Haunts my dreams, my thoughts, My days are spent on missing you Wasting away Living while the ghost of you stays true. Too many years and too many blows Too many shame awards to show The doubt domination A break in my soul For the nights I believed you would never let go The lies and excuses were just cover-ups For that you didn’t love me enough Darling, you didn’t love me enough. And you know what’s so wrong? I shouldn’t miss you at all Cause you made me feel worthless and weak and small But the love of my life is the one I will always forgive. Looking back it was wrong You were cruel to me But I can’t shake the feeling that we're meant to be And my body’s grown old from all of your sin So I can’t let you see me again I can't let you see me again. Too many years and too many blows Too many shame awards to show The doubt domination A break in my soul For the nights I believed you would never let go The lies and excuses were just cover-ups For that you didn’t love me enough You didn’t love me enough. My darling, you didn't think I'm enough But darling, I swear I’m enough for you.

Ending 01:25
Here's to the ending of the we that I knew The end to pretending that I'd be with you The end of the nightmare that I was used Here's to the ending.

about

An imperfect but authentic piece of my heart.

"Pain is real and deserves to be felt.
There are many worse ways for its manifestation,
so here are these songs, a dedication
of sorts
to the one who worries that she's not enough."

credits

released January 29, 2017

​It was important to me to do this project on my own, because it felt so close to my heart that I didn't want anyone else to touch it (as crazy as that sounds). Therefore, imperfect as it is, I'm proud of it as my first independent project and am glad to be able to share these intimate songs with you.

Written, performed, recorded, produced independently at Greenville College studios.
