So this is how it ends Look at me settling for less Than what I thought I’d get from you I planned it in my head How we’d exist, did you forget, I saw the universe in you? And I thought maybe we’d be astronauts and sail through starry seas Contemplating everything, we’d spend eternity Navigating galaxies I could’ve loved you endlessly If you would’ve let me

Where did it go? The love you showed Four months ago If it’s still there, it’s Invisible Scared it’s all gone Did I do something wrong? Cause from the tone of your voice and the tears I’m leaving on your skin I can’t help but wonder if you’re only here to win the argument I know you got shit that you’re working through, but baby so do I I promise I try to see it all from your side But all of the shit that you put me through You do without blinking an eye Tell me when did you get so comfortable making me cry? Where is all this radio silence coming from? Why can’t we just talk it out? Every time you get angry, you tell me it’s nothing to worry ‘bout Then you shut me out Cause from the look in your eyes and the tears I’m leaving on your skin I can’t help but wonder if you ever loved me like I thought you did I know you got shit that you’re working through but baby so do I I promise I try to see it all from your side But all of the shit that you put me through You do without blinking an eye Tell me when did you get so comfortable making me cry? You got someone who loves you, but you don’t lose sleep When your words cut me deep, you just leave me to bleed I know you got shit that you’re working through but baby so do I I promise I try to see it all from your side But all of the shit that you put me through You do without blinking an eye Tell me when did you get so comfortable making me cry?

I still fall asleep hoping to see a missed call from you in the morning I still have my heart pinned to your sleeve You’re with your friends making shiny new memories I’m not a part of your life, but you’re a part of me It’s clear one of us is moving on way faster How do you so easily detach? When I sit inside our love like it’s not empty Wondering if time will bring it back I watch you in dreams, holding my hand and saying you’ll never leave me Acting like someone you’ll never be I’m stuck in that place wishing that things turned out differently in my made-up movie you still play the lead I don’t just wanna leave this a disaster I know I carry too much hope to see That it’ll never be as good, we lost that magic Still you’re the only place I’m dying to be It’s clear one of us is moving on way faster How do you so easily detach? When I sit inside our love like it’s not empty Wondering if time will bring it back You’re the hardest habit that I’ve had to break Baby, you’re the hardest habit that I’ve had to break You’re the hardest habit that I’ve had to break You’re the hardest habit that I’ve had to break

I’m a broken branch, cut off the tree Lying fallen, bruised and severed from my family It’s nothing like the way things used to be I get that time goes on, but why’s it gotta be so mean? Maybe I will find another home Buried in the ground, maybe new roots could start to grow Will I reach the heights I used to know? Could I go even higher? Am I fool enough to hope? Riding, riding Where, I just don’t know Wheel of Fortune Round and round I go I don’t have a plan, don’t have a lead Who’s the mastermind behind the chaos and debris? Are you the one that’s planning my defeat? Then put me through the wringer, please enjoy the way I bleed There’s something ‘bout the way I decompose A dark, depressing spectacle, I’m putting on a show I’m broken, I want everyone to know Broadcasting my decay in hopes someone feels less alone Riding, riding, Where? I still don’t know Wheel of Fortune Round and round I go Twisting, turning Out of my control Wheel of Fortune Round and round I go This is what happens People fall in and people fall out of everything eventually We know nothing lasts Cycles they spin, and all that there is will cease to be Riding, riding, Where? I still don’t know Wheel of Fortune Round and round I go Dizzy, spinning Into the unknown Wheel of Fortune Round and round I go

Sending my best wishes Sorry I’m not there I love from a distance It don’t mean I don’t care Couldn’t hate you if I tried You are all that’s on my mind I just have a funny way of showing Isolated all the time I can’t get out this state of mind It tells me I can’t go where you’re going Look at me up here all alone Solitude is my comfort zone And I’m watching you From the moon, from the moon There’s nothing else I can do So I’m talking to you through the breeze Hoping that you know it’s me Every breath you take I’m listening Just look up to the sky and see That I’m right here, I’ll always be Just in case you’re wondering where I’ve been Look at me up here all alone Solitude is my comfort zone And I’m watching you From the moon, from the moon Never felt so far removed, far removed And yesterday I asked my heart to crumble to pieces Cause I’m so far away from you I don’t even need it anymore What’s the use What’s the use What’s the use There’s nothing else I can do And I’m watching you From the moon, from the moon Never felt so far removed, far removed But my telescope it reaches out As far as I could ever wanna see So I look for you And find you moving on without me What’s the use What’s the use What’s the use There’s nothing else I can do

I don’t know what to say What to say to you anymore these days It’s been getting colder here, you. Feel it don’t lie I only stick around for convenience’s sake Cause your “I love you”s lost their luster You recite them like you recite a monotonous prayer And all the patience I can muster Won’t take us to a future that’s not there Babe I think we’re reaching the end of our days Let’s not resist It’s okay to finally cave We’re not cowards We’ve just grown a couple sizes too big for each other And it’s safe to say the feeling has changed I miss who you used to be But I won’t ask for him back I’ll make my peace He’s everything you hate about yourself now But there was no one he loved more than me And yes I guess it’s fine it just hurts Watching us grow more and more estranged every day And your new best friend, I don’t trust her, Or you, anymore anyways Babe I think we’re reaching the end of our days Let’s not resist It’s okay to finally cave We’re not cowards We’ve just grown a couple sizes too big for each other And it’s safe to say it isn’t the same It’s not the same No it isn’t the same It’s not the same No it isn’t the same Babe I think we’re reaching the end of our days Let’s not resist Its okay to finally cave We’re both tired We’ve just grown a couple sizes too big for each other And it’s safe to say the feeling has changed

about

What I care about most when it comes to music is connection. I write about connection and I write to connect with people. I think that’s why releasing something as vulnerable as a collection of voice memos appeals to me (and also lowkey scares the shit out of me). If I’m honest about the things that I struggle with or think about, it might make someone who stumbles across my work less alone and maybe even excited that someone else shares the same thoughts they don’t always feel safe enough to talk about.

I wanted to take a more personal route with this EP. Reaching out to my audience organically through TikToks that aren’t too 'polished' or perfect. More tearing down that wall between artist and consumer and inviting the people who give their time to listening to me into my mind and my process.
