Bubble Tea 03:30
lyrics
buy track
I needed to say to you That I am in love with you And I've always known it too You were drinking your bubble tea And your eyes turned away from me You said that we'd never be Oh I feel a little bit betrayed Cuz I'm hanging with you every day But if I'm not the perfect one for you You're not the one for me Oh I feel a little bit betrayed Cuz I'm hanging with you every day But if I'm not the perfect one for you Now I'm alone again In my apartment With no-one to split the rent I really trusted you But I'm not good enough for you I don't know what I should do Oh I feel a little bit betrayed Cuz I'm hanging with you every day But if I'm not the perfect one for you You're not the one for me

Another Lover 06:20

When you text me late at night I see your name on my phone and I'm feeling alright I'm feeling alright You could tell me anything You're someone I would never have the courage to tell how I feel Tell how I feel But I can't turn away from the truth when I look in your eyes Something compels me to tell you I have to try I have to try And I can't turn away from your fire cuz it keeps me alive Why don't you kiss me and tell me you're already mine You're already mine I've been searching for another lover But you're the one I need I've been searching for another lover But you, you got a hold on me You think you've heard it all before But I don't wanna be your friend babe I wanna be more I wanna be more I know you're shy I know that you're afraid I'll give you space when you're ready you can come my way Come my way But I can't turn away from the truth when I look in your eyes Something compels me to tell you I have to try I have to try And I can't turn away from your fire cuz it keeps me alive Why don't you kiss me and tell me you're already mine You're already mine I've been searching for another lover But you're the one I need I've been searching for another lover But you, you got a hold on me You're special babe You're very very very very special to me You're very very very very special I've been searching for another lover But you're the one I need I've been searching for another lover But you, you got a hold on me

Making Friends 03:44
lyrics
buy track
I called you from the emergency room But you never pick up when I need you the most You talk so much shit behind my back But I moved to this city so we could be close In my apartment there's a dining room table For friends that come over and stay for a while But you never come, so the table is covered With magazine adds that I got in the mail I thought we were golden I could picture it all to the end of our days The way this unfolded is breaking my heart Maybe it's time to make new friends Maybe it's time to make new friends I thought we were golden I could picture it all to the end of our days The way this unfolded is breaking my heart In my apartment there's dining room table I hope you can find some time in your schedule I'm not independent, I count on my friends I don't want to be lonely, I count on my friends

Spiderweb 02:43
lyrics
buy track
Tell me to my face, put me in my place Catch me in a chase, and slap me with a bass Flick me in the eye, and poke me in the head I'm just another fly in your spiderweb Tell me one more time, really who am I Don't say you care about me, we both know that's a lie I'm fatally attracted, I'm caught up in your thread I'm just another fly in your spiderweb I'm just another fly in your spiderweb I'm just another fly in your spiderweb

NYC Sector 7 03:37
lyrics
buy track
I'm the trash on the floor of the subway I remind you of human nature You toss me out the urban wasteland Apathy comes in so many flavors You walk by me while begging for money You walk by me as I play my guitar Police lurking like they want to erase me Their evil eyes shining bright in the dark I get chills down my spine People disappear all the time I'm the trash on the floor of the subway I lie in wait like an alligator I work alone in the depths of the city Invisible like water vapor The other day you were begging for mercy When I stopped by just to say hello I can't lie I'm the best in the business Of course you know that it's not personal I get chills down my spine People disappear all the time

Heart of Glass 03:27
lyrics
buy track
I had a feeling you'd abandon me But you still visit my dreams Every moment without you Is ten thousand lifetimes So I try to escape you Can I weather your storm I want to feel our bodies touch In paradise Because your heart of glass is so fragile and true And nobody knows you the way that I do Because your heart of glass is so fragile and true And nobody knows you the way that I do

Find Your Way 04:15
lyrics
buy track
I had to take everything out of my pockets to record this Cuz I didn't want anything holding me down You can quit your job, travel around the world And you'll be alright You can fall in love, and it'll break your heart But you'll be alright Whether your chasing dreams, or your holding on to find one You'll be alright Just take it step by step, enjoy the day to day And you'll be alright Cuz you can find your way back home And you can find your way back home Cuz you can find your way back home And you can find your way back home Cuz you can find your way back home And you can find your way back home Cuz you can find your way back home And you can find your way back home Now this is the part where the chords get like super fucking awesome This is my favorite part Let me just walk the bass for like one second Cuz you can find your way back home And you can find your way back home Cuz you can find your way back home And you can find your way back home

Night 0wl
lyrics
I stay up late at night, solving equations I'm not a hero, I can't bring salvation So how can I change the world How can I change the world How could I change the world How could I change the world How could I change the world How could I change the world How could I

about

This is the first time in my life that I practiced the ability to sit down and turn conscious focus into songs.

Most of these songs were written each within a day (or an hour even), mostly all written in the fall/winter of 2018.

I had just moved into my sunny, spacious apartment in Hoboken, NJ. I had graduated college and reluctantly joined the corporate workforce (where I still am as I write this, in 2020). At the time, I had all but 1 friend in new york (now I have 5!).

I think that the songs in this album are crystals that reflect different events and emotions I experienced at the time.
