Easier to Just Give Up
Memory Curse
"Hold on tight to me because What's outside is far, far worse" The vows were empty Could not reciprocate Effortless That's not how we were raised Venomous Devoid of common grace And how the smallest tensions Turned into resentment Nothing here left to save How'd it get that way? "Hold on tight to me because What's outside is far, far worse" The vows were empty Could not reciprocate If it gets any worse I don't know if I will make it If it gets any worse Learning how to do this on my own If it gets any worse I don't know if I will make it If it gets any worse... I've been staying up later and later Learning how to do this on my own It's not your fault I couldn't do it either But I can't make it to where I belong anymore "Hold on tight to me because What's outside is far, far worse" The vows were empty Could not reciprocate "Hold on tight to me because What's outside is far, far worse" The vows were empty Could not reciprocate I'll be glad when I forget you

Well, here we have the first EP from my new solo project, which is positively smothered with melancholy. It is, unashamedly, a break-up record. The instrumentation takes equal inspiration from post-rock and emo, with a smattering of prog in there too.
