confession (she's too good for me coda)
Kid Lightbulbs
Sometimes I worry too much Sometimes I worry I’ll never say the right thing Or the wrong thing Or anything at all Because the infinitesimally small chance of saying the evil thing is greater than zero And that is enough to haunt me Sometimes I’m ashamed that I allow these things to tear away at the tissue rolling around in my skull and the tissue pumping the red stuff all over my body I’m ashamed that I’m becoming comfortable with a future where I cannot speak up Or I no longer want to Because she’s too good for me to look at her honestly And accept her very real flaws And love them Like I love myself But do I love myself Or is it easier just to forget?

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.
