LoudFastRules Really gripping album. I can’t believe an instrumental track (it just doesn’t) was almost my favorite track- I’m not usually into instrumentals but that one really stands out Favorite track: I Just Want To Be With You.

Before Then 03:01
Hung up on my regrets and I can’t stop remembering The bad things I did, the shit that I said 25 years went by, I’m just now learning what I’m like And those intricacies inside of my head It's kind of hard to see If life is better for me Old habits stress me out I'm going up and down Look back on lives well spent My lies I still repent Work hard to reinvent But that's all before then 16 minutes go by and snap back to reality This happens a lot and I can't speak Suicidal thoughts no more as I lay down on the cold floor As I look up in defeat and feel my back's sore I know it's hard to tell If I'm still doing well And see how far I've come Nights like these, I feel dumb Self-destruct and repeat Fall down and scrape my knees Survive and bleed the scene It's hard to just be me This time next year, I'll send some letters Some near and some far, I'll wish you'll do better I hope you'll grow and soon it turns winter Snow falls again, but I'll be back before then

내가 진짜라고 누가 그래? 솔직히 모르겠어 내 인생을 내팽개치는 것 같아 나는 지금까지 걱정하지 않았다 이제 나를 받아주겠니? 당신나 사랑 가치가? 하늘이 파랗게 바다가 붉어진 이해가 왜안돼? 이해가 왜안돼? 공기가 희박하다 피부가 부스러지 이해가 왜안돼? 이해가 왜안돼? Once this feels like it's home I won't ever let go No one close can even grasp The length that this feeling of guilt needs to last I promise I won't let it slide Cultural meanings abide Confide and comfortably bleed Into this facet that makes me me -------------------------------------------------- Who says I'm real Honestly, I don't know I feel like I'm throwing my life away I didn't worry about it until now Will you accept me now? Is it worth your love? The sky is blue red in the sea Why don't you understand? Why don't you understand? The air is thin My skin is crumbly Why don't you understand? Why don't you understand? Once this feels like it's home I won't ever let go No one close can even grasp The length that this feeling of guilt needs to last I promise I won't let it slide Cultural meanings abide Confide and comfortably bleed Into this facet that makes me me

Hey, I'm sorry bout the time I know it's getting late I just wanna talk about Everything inside of your head I've called a dozen times And left a million texts Something to think about Something to forgive and forget And I just miss you You've been away for so long Will you pick up the phone? I thought so hard about it Nothing could go wrong Having late night conversations About what's getting you down Just you and me, we'll talk until the morning I guess it probably wasn't meant to be So, it's coming down to this Your abandonment And I've been in that thought for so long Don't how I'm getting out this time Maybe we should quit These automatic three line texts we seem to send out Unreal talk and falsified intent It doesn't make sense I thought we were friends I can listen Oh, lean your head on my shoulder I'll still be here if you're down And I won't make a sound It's been like this for too long It's a wonder I'm around Biting tongues and making wishes I kinda wanna go home Will you pick up your phone? We'll talk until the morning I guess it probably wasn't meant to be I guess it probably wasn't meant to be

I only wish that I could see Just what you all think of me Been stuck with myself for way too long Not saying it's your business Nor is it mine But these days, I think about it all the time And I'm feeling reminiscent I can't believe how far I've come I'm exploding with real laughter Thinking about what comes after Feeling so alone (it's okay it's fine!) No one to grab hold (it's okay it's fine!) Someone I can miss (it's okay it's fine!) To make sense of bliss (it's okay it's fine!) Won't you be my friend? (it's okay it's fine!) Walk into the end (it's okay it's fine!) Feeling full of love (it's okay it's fine!) Rising up above (it's okay it's fine!) I got this feeling that I ain't nothing And I'll leave it all behind me But until then, I'll keep waiting For the sun and what comes after for me

I'll feel cool, periodically But when it's nights like these I wish I could clearly dream You say I'm too much, more than you can take And when I get like this, you wish I would go away Here we go now Feelings unknown Simmer and blister Pop them all away Move out of state To get some space Panic, all frantic Wash it all down, no aftertaste He doesn't want me there Hhe can't stand me If I could find my way back by winter Would you promise you'd still be there for me? I can't turn it off Brain leaking thoughts I can't find the space To turn run away Like yesterday Clouds taste like pain They won't wash away They won't wash away Throw me a bone I've been all alone I can't memorize Rules set in stone I'll work overtime To try and get it right I wanna go back home I wanna go back home

It's me, myself, and I My mind's not there, it's fine I'm getting scared, it's late You said you'd be here It's already passed 8 Can you tell me why you hate me? We made a deal and you can't go back I'm wiping out picking up your slack You must be joking, it's not funny I wanna talk, oh is that a crime? I'll tell myself that these things just take time I'll wait by my phone A day, a month, a year It's hard to formulate And there's no reason Why I'm knee deep in self-hate and yet I wonder why You can't call me? It's that easy I'm taking back all the praise that I gave and say Something bad but take it to my grave I'm getting anxious, into darkness I can't embrace the fact you're gone I'm hangin' on and hopin' you'll call me at dawn I know better and you know better Don't you remember those times that we spent in your car? Getting drinks at the bar? Looking up at the stars When you said that you'd miss me? I know better but you don't Oh, how it seems to me I see so clearly You can forget me You can forget me

Sometimes, I’ll read the words to your letters And watch the time as it passes by Yet, still, I’ll try to get in touch with a feeling I can’t exist without reason I’ll sit in silence as I rot away It’s better this way And I’ll hear you breathe so softly On my sheets, it soothes me I’m at peace, no one can stop me It’s hard for me to let things go The more know you know A symphony of excuses flow Down to the bone I still appreciate everything you do and say It’s hard to let it go

All together, we move forward You and me and possibly everything in between Now and forever in the silence When there's no words or a cue You know I would choose you Casting shadows on your house Leaving kisses on your mouth I'm so dramatic with my words So shut me up and tell me what I'm worth I know I've said it, but honestly I feel better knowing you're with me Parked in a driveway or your front door There's no one else that I love more There's no one else that I love more Taking pictures of us in space Getting first in a three-leg-race Eating fried wings reluctantly Cooking steaks and fries perfectly I'll be honest, when I see you smile It makes life to be that worthwhile No one has my heart except for you Cuz I always want to be with you I just always want to be with you

about

Special thanks to: Liz, Aaron & Alex, Josie, and Anthony for always believing in me. I love you guys.

Some of you eagle-eyed people might notice that this album has a price on it. I initially thought that I would never price any of my work because I wanted it to be accessible and open to everyone, but over the years I have adapted the thought that it would be pretty nice to be paid for the work I do in some form, so this is my little way of doing that. It's completely up to you guys. It still will be up on Spotify and other platforms, too!
