Alaska 02:19
lyrics

Well I taste the way you made me feel Smoke always a breath away Burning cigarettes and claims You smoke to die, okay Alaska I hear you In fiction you still fall apart Alaska, okay Paper planes and figurines Still shake my inner seams I see Stuck on cards and lego dreams I spilled my life among the trees Alaska, okay Alaska, okay But I'll hold my tongue When it comes to you Because I've been looking for a clue That green is how the world revolves But life is not a book you read It's what you write yourself, Alaska Alaska Alaska, okay Alaska

Lavender 04:50

I find it funny how the sky turns lavender As chameleon runs out for shelter Thunder nights shouldn't bring a sense of fear As lightning blinks on and off again Pastel paintings flicker in the night above So lavender is quiet rain to me It's the little things as night turns back to day It's the little things that give us words to say Oh, it's past my bedtime But I'm not out of line The moon's just out to shine Oh, I'm holding on too soon But still I get to choose I won't ever lose my view Perspective's all we really need To grasp these little things I find it feels hard to smile everyday And I've learned that's okay just to feel All the flowers and the bees and birds remain The outside world won't run off tonight So welcome sadness in as if it's an old friend Let these shades of lavender shine through It's the little things as sunrise comes again It's the little things that give us words to say Oh, it's past my bedtime But I'm not out of line The moon's just out to shine Oh, I'm holding on too soon But still I get to choose I won't ever lose my view Perspective's all we really need To grasp these little things Live in shelter, do we have to leave? Can we just perceive in flight? Hold me closer, bring me to the light I cling fast to the night Or anything in sight Perspective's all we really need To grasp these little things Oh, it's past my bedtime But I'm not out of line I'm simply out to shine

Seventeen Far from reality Further than I can see A stranger in my shoes Clarity Despite the enormity Under a faded dream A stranger that I choose Take me at my worst Hold me to my best I just want to smell like home Give me all the rest Leave me here undressed I just want to feel at home Twenty three Marred by reality Seeking a faded dream A stranger in my shoes Everything Falling despite your best That sinking in your chest A stranger lives in you Take me at my worst Hold me to my best I just want to smell like home Give me all the rest Leave me here undressed I just want to feel at home

In Little Ways 05:11
lyrics

It's an ache that spirals Careening and dark Screaming on repeat In my head, in my heart Alone... Alone... I found hope in little ways Like peeling back the covers On colder morning blankets To reveal the pain concealed inside The open wounds we hide away In hopes we'll fade into the day Oh She starts her day with mellow breaths Breathing life into the day Just to end with vodka sodas Back to back to feel enough High school stories creeping in Days of wonder, a sense of hope Crumbles in reality Cycles in, cycles out She found hope in little ways Like singing Patsy Cline to sleep Or nights and drive to nowhere on her own The pain's concealed inside The open wound she hides away In hopes she'll drown into the day Oh He writes a single song each day Just to crumple and decay End the night drinking alone At least it's safe, at least it's home Searching every day for dreams The ones he wants, the ones he's lost Life has seemed to pass him by Cycles in, cycles out He found hope in little ways Like strumming Johnny Cash aloud And morning coffee on the couch on his own The pain's concealed inside The open wound he hides away In hopes he'll sink into the day Oh I find solace in shelter The breath, the ever-steady beat of a heart And the turning of the earth, the sun in the clouds It's still there, even when it snows, just out of sight But you have to remember it's still there You're still there We're still here We're still here

about

This is my quarantine EP. I wrote this all in April of 2020, and it helped define my next few steps as an artist. I was able to release it on the fantastic day of 12/1, which is also the exact same day your spotify wrapped came out. Never again. This song came as I was aligning my actions very much with my values. It was a year that I took to look at the things that made me happy, what I valued in life, who I was, who I wanted to be, where I wanted to go, and how I could be my most authentic self. I had an incredible time exploring my emotions in writing, recording, performing, and shooting a music video for one of these songs. The EP release show gave me the opportunity to play with some old and new friends and this EP ultimately marks a turning point in my life. The beginning of my choice to live life as me and accept and roll through every storm and experience I get to live through. Love you all, and I really appreciate you for listening.

Morning Honey Louisville, Colorado

Morning Honey exists somewhere between mountain folk, depressingly hopeful singer/songwriter material, but is always the ideal soundtrack to make breakfast to.
