Not the End 02:47
bold faced lies every night i can’t help but to deny the ugly truth and all its harsh light one thing i know, it’s not the end it’s not the end of emptiness hold me tight every night i can’t help but to deny your loving light and all the signs in sight one thing i know, it’s not the end it’s not the end of emptiness it feels surreal in the final hour it’s true i do envy your power it culminates and finally shatters when the glass breaks will i still cower? one thing i know, it’s not the end it’s not the end of emptiness

Cowboy Song 02:48
The truth hangs from the dove I'll catch it from above I'll pick the withered flower in its final hour and pretend like it's still the spring I grieve for him and I mourn for me I yearn for you so that makes three Oh darling ! I thought I had you for a minute That you'd come back to this place and find our new beginnings Oh god you're so pretty truly something to witness oh god I thought you'd remember Growing up again soon-to-be-innocent -fun * while it lasted but it seems we're out of time Stuck in static and we're lying in the light I was hungry for the second time Oh darling I thought I had you for a minute that you'd come back to this place and find our new beginnings oh god you're so pretty truly something to witness Oh god It hurts to remember * arthur russell soon to be innocent fun / let's see

Artie taught me to sing out clear in the mud of the heat wave sylvia taught me to sing out clear when there is no other way to face what come near Shadowed by the sounds echoing in your eyes white lies sharp knives beckoning I'm not afraid in this little apartment send you away and i'll break my own heart now go in circles in this little apartment well you know I'll say I'm going to sleep now Artie taught me to sing out clear in the mud of the heat wave Johnny taught me to sing out clear when there is no other way to say what i mean shadowed by the hounds listening in the field through the barn it keeps echoing I am afraid (in your eyes white lies) in this little apartment (sharp knives beckoning) Did I scare you away? (and your eyes remind, a harsh reckoning) Does your heart still ache now? Go in circles (shadowed by the hounds listening) in this little apartment (in the field through the barn) You know I'll say it's already tomorrow (it keeps echoing) I'm going to sleep now

Runs Deeper 02:44
can you feel what's coming now?! One more hill we're running up I am not quite as lonesome as I thought It runs deeper than you know I can tell your blood runs cold Learned to be so lonely but couldn't stop the glory of standing up we're one with many arms It runs deeper, runs deeper than you know Runs deeper, I could tell your blood runs cold Runs deeper, it's gotta crush your fucking soul to know well what it means to be alone

Omen 02:54
my parents are regular people they sit outside look at the sky my friends are regular people drink beer smoke cigarettes go to work, spend the money but my sweetheart a he’s the special one for me omen in the yard seems brighter than the rest i could feel it in my chest i will love you in the end look to the mountains they seem to know best they stand up straight and tall like mother insists yeah mother knows best i’m just a regular guy with a light and dark side like the moon and the tide i will stay by your side if i leave this behind and become a new man with a new set of hands and my head screwed on straight would you still love me then? omen in the yard speaks louder than all the rest i could feel it in my chest i will love you in the end

Stark 01:39
strange forest in the dark still seems to hold your mark limbs twist into a picture of you it’s so stark waiting for the dawn again when it’s all that i have left first the crack and then the sound then the light comes pouring out it’s so stark
8.
Bird of Prey 02:48
misaligned dangerous mind starts to crumble peace of mind and anger unite in the rubble in time all the complexities will unravel in time ill find the light in the shadow the day they always feared set in without them knowing lay down and watch the bird of prey and its endless circling hear the echo in the hollow behind your mother's house the sound she spoke about rattles around your head misaligned dangerous mind starts to crumble peace of mind and anger unite in the rubble
9.
Shoulders 03:23
my shoulders broaden every day i am alive bottleneck trap in my head will make sense with time how much of this life will disappear into the fold? reach through the fog to find somebody to hold at arms length made out to be loudly self maintaining with my feet on the ground sturdy machine rusty, loaded, weighed down with rocks*, with my feet on the ground it’s ugly and dark my shoulders broaden every day i am alive bottleneck trap in my head will make sense with time how much of this life will disappear into the fold? i don’t know if i can take it, i can take it, till i can take no more made out to be loudly self maintaining with my feet on the ground sturdy machine rusty, loaded, weighed down with rocks*, with my feet on the ground it’s ugly and dark *double suicide by chronophage

Up on Tumbledown Mountain I can see how mother curves Whole world changes every season Cold world changes you Though I don't know if I want it to Separate the act from the pain My Mimi taught me how to be brave I think of her, walking through the rain Oh, Emma Jane I miss my best friend, that's her name Oh, Emma Jane

Another Way 01:44
Another dime another day another way to die Well I won't mind if you use me to pass the time look for a sign well I'm still here aren't I? The moon light shines so bright into your eyes red and white ! You'll excuse me if I start to cry just one more time cuz you're still here by my side No burning bush to light the way another day just barely scraping by yeah you abused me to make your life feel like a lie Well Im still here aren't I? Another dime another day another way to die well I won't mind if you use me to pass the time Look for a sign well I'm still here aren't I?

thank you to every other person who had a hand in shaping these songs: jack mohrbacher, will mcgovern, cody foley, dustin watson/disposable america, and EJ

Thank you to all the diy artists in the northeast and beyond who have supported us, shared space with us, pushed the boundaries of what music can be and feel like. it has been a joy to grow up alongside you and we wouldnt be the same people, songwriters or musicians without this community <3

From emery:

If you told my younger self that started this project how much beauty, curiosity, complexity and belonging this life would hold, in huge part because of the people making music alongside us, I would cry, and I do cry

lets keep reimagining together and moving towards beauty

Music is reality
