A place called home A place called home Is where days were spent alone Trapped and confused And trapped and confused In a place where choice is apparently an option but not given An easy breath Just an easy breath To give a chance to see what's going on Clarity should help move things along Doing your best in a place of unchosen rest Trying to see the light, when you're trapped in the night Is it wasted time or time well spent? Where do you go when there's nothing left? Trapped in a place outside the norm Doing everything to connect to those you love

Half Is Gone 05:33
(Half is gone) I've done wrong Could have been better Half the time, Half the effort, Half the heart Half of my (Half is gone) Through a filter of my Thoughts wading through a stream Waiting for something good to happen Hoping for something to mean Something to me Something to me I thought I was Losing what defined me Incremental I'm half of who I used to be My outer shell is cracked wide open To reveal who I am Peeling off the outer layers Losing more of myself Each and every time I feel a weight’s been lifted off my body I feel like I can breathe again I'm free of halving my identity My portrait is me Through a filter of my Thoughts wading through a stream Waiting for something good to happen Hoping for something to mean Something to me

Your Name 03:40
Through cinematic shade Of light I see my past through Everyone's there and I don't feel the need to Apologise For the apathy and exhaustion I can see the light shine Through the kitchen window blinds Not careless nostalgia A time I must go back to Nothing to be done At that age to prove my worth Except appreciate Your presence I think I did that well and I'd like to think you knew that I'm not worried about my future But people tell me I should be When nothing comes as easy As it did back then I'm not scared of what's coming I know that I can handle it But they gave me your name I know I can live up to it

Patronizing 06:54
Where are you now? Did you really do it? Last I heard you were in jail But the details were fuzzy I always tried to steer you right Maybe I didn't try hard enough Let’s be honest, you're a grown man I shouldn't be so Patronizing Should I reach out to you again? Try to rekindle the friendship People drift apart And I'm not the kind of person to give that sort of effort I shouldn't be patronizing I always tried to steer you right Maybe I didn't try hard enough Let's be honest, you're a grown man Maybe I should let you try again I invite you over on my 60-footer For a couple of drinks and a good time And here you go Making a fool of yourself This is the last time this happens You need to clean your act up Get off my damn boat, Toby Where are you now? Did you really do it? Last I heard you were out on bail But the details were fuzzy

What if one day For whatever reason We went our separate ways Not even negatively But because things had changed From the way they used to be It amazes me To think how many people I'll never meet Except as a car on the street Or a face on the screen Why's it so hard for me to conceptualize A life unrelated to my Life unrelated to my Life unrelated to my life What if knowing you Is just a brief flash at the quarter- Point of my life I guess we can't see that far What if one day For whatever reason We went our separate ways Because things had changed It amazes me To think how many people I'll never meet Except as a car on the street Or a face on the screen Why's it so hard for me to conceptualize A life unrelated to my Life unrelated to my Life unrelated to my Life unrelated to my life Are we just reflections of each other Mirrors we can't see ourselves in Only with each other and so then we Build ideas of who we think we should be It amazes me To think how many people I'll never meet Except as a car on the street Or a face on the screen Why's it so hard to conceptualize Life unrelated to my Life unrelated to my Life unrelated to my Life unrelated to my life Who are you now All this time Spent on those Who know me as but a thought Not just a silhouette In the minds of those I'll never know A person comfortable With here and now not the whole show

about

The album deals with feelings of insecurity in one’s own thoughts as well as loss, but also those of confidence and optimism. The album presents a unique, hard-to-define blend of neo-psychedelia, post-rock, and shoegaze.
