Screen 04:06
I’m watching myself I’m watching myself Through a screen Can you see me? I’m watching the world I’m watching the world Through a screen Can they see me? A hand that tightly grips your wrist You still don’t feel like you exist Do anything to get inspired But everything makes you tired Watching myself shrink Watching myself shrink Through a screen Can you see me? Watching them live free Watching them live free Through a screen Can they see me? I’m wiping down this foggy mirror The image is not getting any clearer I’m trying to communicate My messages are reaching you too late I’m watching myself I’m watching myself Through a screen Can you see me? I’m watching the world I’m watching the world Through a screen Can they see me? Can you see? Can they see me? Can you see? Can they see me?

Gray skies Empty eyes You’ll go crazy If you don’t Turn off your device Snuggle in bed To clear your head The menu for breakfast is Mouthfuls of pretend Cus oh, the world is ending But everything is great Oh, the world is ending But everything is fine, it’s alright Long day The guilt will stay Maybe if we ignore them Our problems will go away Lose the fire Lose the desire You’ll get through life faster If you’re a good liar Cus oh, the world is ending But everything is great Oh, the world is ending But everything is fine, it’s alright

In Limbo 04:24
Drifting away Time’s passed me by My moment’s run out The sun still shines as I cry As I cry The sun still shines as I cry I’ve spent these days Living inside a dream Thinking everything Would come so easily Easily Things don’t come so easy So, i’m sitting here in limbo Waiting for my time to come But i’m probably gonna end up Like everyone They say you are Your own worst enemy I give up before I can ever see Ever see What i’m capable of Wish i was born With some stars in my eyes A sense of self Great enough to survive To survive I wanna be great enough to survive So, i’m sitting here in limbo Waiting for my time to come But i’m probably gonna end up Like everyone Another year Another fear Another tear It’s less and less clear (x2) So i’m sitting here in limbo Waiting for my time to come But i’m probably gonna end up Like everyone I’m still sitting here in limbo Waiting for my time to come But i’m probably gonna end up Like everyone

Reality 03:35
Wondering if i made the right decision to come back here Lately im so sad all the time And i know that usually the state I’m in Now it feels so different though I’m gonna drive myself crazy out of here If i do one more bad thing i’m gonna leave I already gave up on dreaming a while ago But I can’t deal with this reality Each month keeps wasting by, don’t know why i even try Obsessing about everything i do and what i say I pretend not to care, then i cut my hair It’s no use cus i’ll be paranoid forever I’m gonna drive myself crazy out of here If I do one more bad thing i’m gonna leave I already gave up on dreaming a while ago But I can’t deal with this reality Solo I’m gonna drive myself crazy out of here If I do one more bad thing i’m gonna leave I already gave up on dreaming a while ago But I can’t deal with this reality
5.
Fantasy 03:48
I know i’m not the only one But i am also only one Who feels the weight of leaving With importance But I don’t feel that i possess The things that make you greater than The things that put you Up above the rest What does that mean When all of this is so absurd you see It all seems quite unreal to me We might be living in a fantasy Should do what i desire today Before I throw my life away And become a fraction of Who I once was The thing is that i’m led by fear Don’t even know how i got here I usually stop myself Before I try What does that mean When all of this is so absurd you see It all seems quite unreal to me We might be living in a fantasy Nobody cares Might as well fade Doing what you wanted (x2) Because it doesn’t mean a thing All of this is so absurd you see It all is quite unreal to me We are living in a fantasy (x3)

Enactor 04:14
Learning to be human Watching what others are doing Going to see a movie Deniro showing me how it’s done I’m not really living in this world I’m just an actor here A remainder of the parts That have already been used No matter what I do I’ll never make the mold Too broken to find sense in it Too broken to be pure A crack in the wall Was the start of it all Gotta relive a memory That might never have been there I’m not really living in this world I’m just an actor here A remainder of the parts That have already been used No matter what I do I’ll never make the mold Too broken to find sense in it Too broken to be pure Nameless, inauthentic, enactor (x2) I’m not really living in this world I’m just an actor here A remainder of the parts That have already been used No matter what I do I’ll never make the mold Too broken to find sense in it Too broken to be pure (x2)

about

This EP is about the world outside of me and the world inside of me, about change and disassociation, about the different faces we put on, and about trying to be honest. In it are my ideas about the effects of technology, the state of the world and the state of ourselves when we’re dealing with uncertainty and changes in our lives.
