All I Imagine 04:51
lyrics
everything you do is romantic when you're passionate i'm the biggest advocate despite feeling inadequate from recent abandonment but life is fabulous i believe it, it's all i imagine i cannot wait for everything to happen and things are happening but lately it's been run the block read a book sleep on the floor dream about you friday night lipstick red have some fun dream about me drink in bed shower alone stare at the phone dream about you get annoyed talk to boys moving on dream about me call you up really drunk driving home dream about you go to class on a date sick in bed dream about me

I was young, I was hip hop I was young, I was punk rock I was young, I was dream pop i was I was I was I was Ima ima ima ima I’m a little chillwave (oh yeah) babes a little shoegaze (oh yeah) We don’t get fazed (no way) We just get blazed (oh yeah)
 Its just that I have nothing left to sing about anymore Im not looking for any metaphors (just Bored) I’ve been driving round town (No) I’ve been driving round the city (No) I’ve been driving round the bay (All damn day) now Im out in the crowd The people wanna hear you play Yeah I’m standing by the bar They wanna hear what you have to say

March 01:24
lyrics

You caught me I was the one who punched the nazi 

I’m not stupid 
just ruthless 
talk your shit 
 wind up toothless I question the validity of your bipartisan futility March the streets break a window Burn a tree 
(fuck your civility)

Wandering Mind 03:25
lyrics
buy track
I’m not going to be a poor sport 
Just tired of the back and forth
 I guess you were too
 so you moved on, didnt you?
 I’d rather get drunk than talk to you 
hangovers are temporary, a wandering mind is scary
 I love you but I don’t want to remember Every sexual endeavor They were ever so clever But if our time has been served These memories should be purged Or I’ll cry knowing we were never together 

never even together 
we stuck together through the worst of weather but we were Never even together

Cool Guy Motorbike 01:03
lyrics
buy track
we’re selfish with sentiments 
monetize our relevance Try acid, become a socialist
 dwelling on what ifs is drowning in hopelessness 

 come on, we’re getting high 
in the porn store parking lot Right behind the pizza shop
 Cool guy motor bike
 Riding through the country side Night sky no headlights Cool guy motorbike

FROM THERAPY (DEMO) 01:15
lyrics
buy track
Shoutout to my therapist Who I guess I missed Several of my last appointments with... A weight has been lifted But it went through my heart You think you’re at the finish line You’re just at the start A weight has been lifted But it went through my wound It’s reopened and bloody Doesn’t mean a thing to you A weight has been lifted But it left me all bruised I feel kinda crazy You poisoned the truth You left me confused Who you gunna believe Your lyin' eyes or me A weight has been lifted But what the fuck is that gunna do I’m free to be Wild in the streets Except I’m still just home Thinkin’ of you

FREE T.V. (DEMO) 01:43
lyrics
buy track
Why would I be upset I didn’t do anything that I regret I mean I know it’s the outcome Because how come! I thought we were the best The memories obscured that’s the word with Perd Alone at home again watching Parks n Rec again It’s actually absurd Oversaturated with shows But isn’t that how it goes There’s new things at my fingertips But I still go to those That make me feel safe, stuck in the past Instead of getting off my ass And giving someone - I mean - something else a chance
11.
FAKE TRAVEL (DEMO) 01:23
lyrics
buy track
Love is purple haze, man It just fades, man It’s just a phase, man I see you looking at photos Of places you want to see Thinking leaving and escaping Are synonymous with free Not knowing wherever you go is exactly where you’ll be But I s’pose that’s fine with you S'long as it’s not with me
12.
FORMER TENANT (DEMO) 01:05
lyrics
buy track
No more crying about you in parking lots No more renting space inside my thoughts You’re the former tenant of my mind No ones moved in yet, still up a vacancy sign Curious buyers, but no applicants Some mail of yours gets sent here by accident And with no forwarding address I build a collection Of Tormented memories of my recollection It’s a best hit curated selection With no seemingly thought out, direction Like how when you would laugh, it made you laugh harder It leaves me with feelings of great ardor This room is empty, 3D projections Of happy days and painful rejections

lyrics

I didn’t know what i know now then Gotta look back with compassion You wear your self care like it's fashion About to cash in Everything you consist of Even what you made up Lookin’ good love Alright, yeah, alright I like to sing when I drive Cook with my friends Movies when I’m high Hike on the weekends Music when it’s live Following trends Girl pass me by Making amends

about

I wanted to consolidate some of these roughly recorded songs, some of which had been released before, others had not. So, that's what this is.

Tracks 1 & 8: just messing around with Adam. "Mute" was from 2022, "Dungeon Forest" from 2014.
Track 2: a song from 2014 I've always liked but never found a home for.
Tracks 3-7: a collection I recorded back to back on July 4th 2017. Previously released as "Cool Guy Motorbike (EP)".
Tracks 9-14: demos from my 2020 album "FAKE TREES".
Tracks 15-20: previously unreleased covers from the albums "No Lies, Just Covers: The Music of Bright Eyes" (2012) and "It's My Birthdays, I'm Staying Under the Covers" (2008).
