Chameleon 04:27
something is telling me if i don't change then i will rot and my lungs they are blackening and lord i'm ready to repent all my vices are becoming routine my advice goes over my own head i'm so young so i won't commit to living up to fears inside me to living up to bad genetics there is time so i must admit i'm fucking up things under my skin i don't wanna live life a life of patterns and my ego can paralyze when it tries to stay away and my heart it is blackening and there is so much that it wants and my tongue has betrayed me now i can't be a chameleon and i know this old rhythm but i can never shake it off so i must forget the habits i'm abusing my limbs miss pushing to the limit lord here i am i got the power here within me don't think that my own mind can stop me

Blood 03:24
and i am sweating my sins out i'm soaking through my clothes and i don't feel like i'm burning up and i am talking my way out of feeling out of place and i don't know what i do call home blood don't make me come back but i got my reasons i do i'm torn into pieces and i know where i can find them drinking till i can't see might not be the death of me but i'm not invincible and i'm not sleeping when i should but i think i get enough until my body gives out i am not what i was but my mind just don't believe me i'm torn into pieces and i know where i can find them and i am talking so much that my words are losing power that they might have had otherwise and the thoughts in my head feel so fucking important but that don't mean you gotta know shit shouldn't spill from my mouth when i got no reason i should think i need the answers to the problems i don't have yet

No Fun 04:46
i don't wanna move i've got a nice view and i've had too much to think oh i've seen worlds you wouldn't believe and i've still got so much left i am shrinking there's too much to do and i can't do a thing sometimes i'm all i think about when i'm not here spitting blood into the sink my feet are older than i think i used to run but now i walk so i don't sweat i can't find my heart in places i should so it jumps around in the sun there's beauty i don't see anymore out of luck i'm gonna be a part of someone's big machine out of luck the world won't bend itself so i can do my thing don't you wish you could do all the things that i have done? i know i've got it good so why am i sometimes no fun? i should believe the world around me

Darlin 04:27
oh my sweet darlin i won't let you get away darlin i love you so stop fighting back darlin i need you so don't fuck with me i will make you beautiful i will make you twist and sing we probably won't see the sunlight for days it's you and me girl so don't disobey i know exactly what you need and i'll lock you up if i please darlin i love you don't you know? and i treat you right girl all the time and i'd fight till my limbs turn black and blue to make my whole world out of you darlin if you could see the beauty in my head then you'd truly love me oh my sweet darlin you're forever mine oh my sweet darlin i won't let you get away not this time
5.
All I See 04:23
close my eyes i am restless all i see is it really happening? i can understand all the decades past in your face i see all the layers underneath gotta run around this city built for me everyone around doesn't matter much to me in this palace there are thing's i've never seen i'm laughing cause i can comprehend insanity now i don't understand what your words mean in a loop you're flying up so high that the sun is burning you come back to me don't run off in the clouds i don't recognize this shell in front of me i swear that i will beat you back into place i already hear the voices telling me you'll never come back but i won't let them win today
6.
Stop 02:12
can't you stay still? oh you just have to talk this mouth it moves when it don't need to give an opinion why do you think that your words need to be understood? think you've got the answers but you don't hear others shut the fuck up for once stop trying to be right
7.
Moneyman 03:55
don't hold your breath you still stick out cause you gotta have all your comforts would your belly explode? if you don't get what is yours laugh your way to the bank in your brand new shiny clothes your big wallet don't protect you everyone still resents you would your belly explode? if you don't get what you want? laugh your way to the beach with your peeling ugly skin you live for yourself
8.
Crush 04:33
i didn't try to see you with these eyes but when we sweat the same i don't shine so bright i've stood behind these words but i wanna try to undress the doubt that lingers in my mind i could be so wrong but i don't mind if you feel alright then i don't mind i've thought about a world but it might not exist but that don't mean a thing unless i see the door i know ecstasy when it's in front me but should i change a thing? if it isn't the time if it don't exist then i'll be fine if you feel alright then i'll be fine

about

these demos were recorded over the course of 4 months, mostly in havana, cuba, using my laptop, my acoustic guitar, and whatever work arounds i could find.

Songs of note:
Crush and No Fun were initially conceived of as as one off songs and most of their instruments were recorded the week before I went to Cuba. Chameleon was the song that made me realize I wanted to record an album. The drum loops had been kicking around in a file I would pull up when I wanted to hear music so I could practice salsa dancing and came together in a fit of inspiration as I walked the rainy streets of Havana and heard a vocal melody in my head that I needed to record. Darlin would later ended up being played by Cult Vacation. We recorded and scrapped a subpar version of it. Parts of All I See date back as far as my freshman year of college.
