Kid Lightbulbs
down st. alphonsus, where the weak take shape uphill we climb to drink away the pain we came here to buy all the shit they spew but all I see are your baby blues this isn’t what I wanted you stood up on your own I’m dreaming I’m inside you even though you’re not around no party can replace you it’s fleeting like the sun but I can lock myself up where there is only if only you were here then I could be sincere with myself but you’re too good for me I used to think that I was sitting pretty now I can’t even make my bed and in my mind I’m anxious it’s eating me alive like garbage on the corner it’s festering it thrives if only you were here then I could be sincere with myself but you’re too good for me I can’t force you to love me but in my mind you do say I’m a fool for waiting but perception is the truth

STEP INTO THE OCEAN is a spiritual sequel. Where THROW MYSELF INTO THE BAY captured a privileged man in his 30s not handling a string of life-changing events well at all, this album is his stopping, slowing down, and looking critically at what's most important around him – including his own thoughts.

This album was (mostly) written 7-10 years before my last album was written, but I was too consumed by impostor syndrome to release or promote it. It meant something different then – I wrote it in the throes of living together with my partner for the first time, and the ups & downs that came with that. Revisiting this material 10 years later caused it to take on new meaning.
