Levy Breaks 03:09
Foam forming a line Mist filling the sky The waves reach up to the street, even higher The ailing levy was weak, and you were right
2.
Waves 03:37
I would like to guide the day But I’m miles away On the beach, alone in the sand I control the waves with my hand I would like to make a sound But I’m miles underground In an infinite field I’m an acrobat, flip my head under my heels

Go to the mall or do the rite online Speak the spell aloud: positive vibes, vibes, vibes. I’ll believe anything I’ll believe a lie I’ll believe anything I can find Anger an outlet, putting down a line Flames that set a boundary burning white, white, white. I’ll believe anything I’ll believe a lie I’ll believe anything I can find Press the button gently to insert a coin To proceed to queue to hear the point I’ll believe anything I’ll believe a lie I’ll believe anything I can find And I’ll believe you if you believe me for a while

Unsure 04:29
Sure, so few of us reward unsure I don’t wanna say the hurt that I hoard Trying– trying up a goddamn storm To let you know that I’m on board with knowing enough and nothing more Strong hand signing in the leasing office I was afraid and I am I don’t even know my stance most of the day So how about I say yes, and I don’t think it’s fair that you make me the patient When I call it like it is And you carry a weight when you hide and you know things Why won’t you own it? Sure, so few of us reward unsure I’m for blooms crowning unexpected forward Brave islands surrounded by miles of recourse Miles I don’t think it’s fair when you make me the patient When I call it like it is And you carry a weight when you hide and you know things Why won’t you own it?

Moon High 02:20
Jump right in, sunblock the rest Mama’s hands on your neon vest Teal chlorine and golden rings She is here to see you see it through And it’s moon high her belief in you Your friend Yusef came here young And he doesn’t know how to swim You said cup your hands sweet boy And let the water glide over your skin And it’s moon high, my belief in you

Vocoder Love 04:08
Pain– pain is shocking in To my skeleton ribcage That same shocking element I give it everything, to the base You sleep right and call your angel high whenever You sleep long and feel the rise of your bed to meet your hide forever

about

A little meditation on change, adaptation, and growth. Or, as featured artist Cuchulain calls it, "a vibey yoga album." Inspired by Imogen Heap, Bon Iver, Floating Points, therapy school, and COVID.
