Bitter Pill 03:28
When I wake and try to break The news to all these pages Flash a smile to reassure We might still make it Excited for a week or so And then the feeling’s fleeting Once I thought our love would grow But instead I’m reeling Take the pill Wash it down Take the pill All better now Take a look down the coast A disappointment without her A distant couple holding hands Just a blur right after Excited for a month or so And then the feeling’s fleeting Once I thought our love would grow I’m not sure how I’m feeling Take the pill Wash it down Take the pill All better now

Well it’s time to clear the air The life you loved was never really there Burned your money and you burned your friends There’s nothing left here Just the end. Isn’t it a shame How you push me away Should have known by now Turning black and grey Your pockets are empty That’s nothing new We should have had plenty That much is true Burned your money and you burned your friends There’s nothing left here Just start again Isn’t it a shame How you push me Dancing with the flame Turning black and grey

Every passing day Snapping out of a dream There’s nothing left to say It’s not as easy as it seems Clinging to a scheme That’s just getting in your way Kicks you in the teeth Sends you on your way Gather the bits and pieces Smooth out all the creases And if they don’t blow away You might convince me to stay Every passing night Staring at the ceiling Hoping that you might Hang on to that feeling Keep it all together Without getting in your way Even though you’d rather Lead me astray Gather the bits and pieces Smooth out all the creases And if they don’t blow away You might convince me to stay

Look into my eyes And tell me I’m to blame Never get to try I’m always in your way Never got to do The things you wanted to do You’ve always had to wait Because I wanted you to stay Stay I wanted you to stay I wanted you to stay I wanted you to stay Listen to me when Things just weren’t the same When we met back then Our love was just a game Never quite too sure How we got so poor We’re not at the end So much left to say Say So much left to say So much left to say So much left to say

about

This EP was a labor of love. Every sound on this EP, from the strum of the guitar to the final mix, has been a solo journey. I dedicate this EP to all late bloomers, anxiety havers, and hopeless romantics.

People who enjoy Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Beach House, or just a shitload of Reverb might enjoy this EP. Thanks for checking it out!

Special thanks to Pete Vadelnieks, Sean Jordon, Harrison DeSantis, and Michael Mullin for invaluable advice and for listening to my crappy early demos.

Thanks most of all to Gloria Zhu for supporting this project, encouraging me, and hearing banged drums and cranked amps at all hours.
