Circles 01:33
Help me with the state I'm in I'm running in circles inside my head Help me with the state I'm in I'm running in circles inside my head I think I'll take a walk today Say fuck responsibility I left my mind at the park It's cold outside, but warm inside the dark (There is a strange kind of comfort that comes with the familiarity of misery) I've been floating in outer space And always feeling out of place I'm stuck in this predicament I'm stuck in my predicament I've always had a tortured soul And a lack of self control See to my own demise With a fire in my eyes

Strange 01:48
Whoah Oh, life is truly strange When you see the similarity Between all living things And the things that we create What's made and what's formed? How are you different from the day you were born? Really though... What's changed? Sometimes I think about past lives Remind me of the simpler times That I never had But it's not all that bad Guess we'll all stick around Just kick back and watch the trauma compound But what else is there to do? Sit around and complain about every little thing that just stacks upon your shoulders... Till your chest caves in beneath you?

Sunshine shining on my shoulders Songbirds chirping up above me Tree leaves rustle in the distance Wind chimes chiming in a cool breeze Sunshine shining on my shoulders Songbirds chirping up above me Tree leaves rustle in the distance Wind chimes chiming in a cool breeze

about

Sunshine is about finding one's self stuck in cycles of depression and anxiety, seeking transcendence, looking back on life to see a long narrative of pain and sorrow, then somehow managing to find inner peace through rejoicing in the present.

This EP took on many shapes and textures before arriving at its final form. It is far different than what I had originally envisioned, but much closer to the roots where it originated, at the piano. At long last, I could not be more excited to share these songs with you all.

Huge thank you to Skyler Moosman for mastering this project so nicely and for being my go-to guy for literally everything since we met. Thank you to Elizabeth for taking the album photo, accompanying video content, and always caring for me.
