Headfirst into forests, bleak and dry barren in disguise, frigid highs

Run, stay Remember, you're loved by your roots We're off to soak in this rain Let the cold stream down my veins I pray she won't forget this day We're off to soak in this rain Stay, remember the pendant you wear Run, stay Remember, you're loved by your roots We're off to soak in this rain Memories flash like photoplays Rivers tasted, Summer days We're off to soak in this rain Run, stay Remember, you're loved by your roots Stay I'll remember the pendant you wore

Ghost Story 04:58
I don't know why these are recurring fears of mine scared to be awake fast asleep, I hold my breath I don't wanna lie thoughts make me terrified scared to be asleep, far too numb to shut my eyes I submit myself, I can hold my own I submit myself, I can hold my oath Ghosts come in dreams, fingers cold against my spine I don't know why these are recurring fears of mine I submit myself, I can hold my own

Raccoon 02:41
I hate to see you off L.A.; I'll see you there I'm waiting patiently L.A.; I'll see you there
6.
Angelic voices whisper melodies right through me All in time, they won't remember they won't recall I whisper, entombed Angelic voices whisper melodies right through me All in time, they won't remember they won't recall I whisper, entombed

Idle Talk 04:48
Praise be unto those who taste Stuck on isolated isles Pray and plead for all the different talk, the good things heard Corners collapse, my mistakes and all I'm well aware When the Summer ends, and cans collect along the walls I'll know the answer then; I'll know my right from wrong This is more than we can shake Wash away and find my shade Pray and plead for all the different talk, the good things heard Corners collapse, my mistakes and all I'm well aware
8.
You know I won't tread too far This is your chance to roam I won't try to clip your wings It's your sky, go be free You know I won't tread too far This is your chance to roam I can't change your mind and I can't read your mind

Anastasia 04:57
Wish I had it in me to hold my breath your smile's fading everyday, a thinner chance to come up to you I wish I could take my time, Anastasia See you sigh and close your eyes, hesitation Then I'm cold and dead inside; you feel so alive I can't even say I tried, nerves tripped me up again You are always in your prime, Anastasia
10.
Rolling out this pain I know was it real, or was it show? Feeling rushed and breathing slow Time and time and time again I look back at where I've been Close my eyes and watch you go Veins in my arms hold me back What good does patience do me? That was then and this is now I can't bring myself around Because feelings come, and feelings go What you want may never change, but what you need won't stay the same for all the time you wait in vain If trepidation holds me back, what good will patience do me?

about

In loving memory of Vaughn Simpson Charles. This album is dedicated to all of the fantastic people in my life.

Special thanks to:
-Florian Tinschert, for use of his recording microphone, for stealing his roommate's Yamaha steel-string and letting me borrow it for this record, along with his peculiar Squier Stratocaster (which can be heard on "Idle Talk" and "Elysian Fields").
-Nelson Santos and Tim Mansell for extensive previewing, advice, and for providing constructive criticism for all tracks. You guys were the second pair of ears for this album.
-Aston Grieco, for taking it upon herself to create a visual universe for the music to exist within!
-All my friends and loved ones for their support and advice, for putting up with me, and taking care of me (the result of my own stupidity) on multiple occasions.
