The streets know our secret
They’ll never breathe a word
Like the moon watching over us
Playing in the dirt
Doomed from the start
Could it end a different way
If life were a movie?
I’ll never be happier for you
That you found happiness
But I’ll never forget how
You used to kiss me that way
From dark till day
Tangled in heat now
The meaning’s lost to us
If walls could talk
We’d have to answer for our love
Doomed from the start,
Could it end a different way
If life were a movie?
I’ll never be happier for you
That you found happiness
But I’ll never forget how
You used to kiss me that way
From dark till day
I’ll never be happier for you
That you found happiness
But I’ll never forget how
You used to kiss me that way
From dark till day

about
“The album itself is about repetition, cycles, the same subjects, themes and issues coming back around as if on schedule. Recurring dreams and experiences, and the growth they bring about. The songs were collected over a pretty long period of time, and I am still surprised by the fact that a song like Candle Wax that I wrote 7 years ago before I could really play any instrument ended up fitting on the same album as a song like If Life Were A Movie, which I conceived entirely by myself, about the same subject! The point of view has changed, and it's been interesting to witness and notice that, thanks to Joey actually! He noticed the connection.
The themes have to do with love, destruction, family, work, mental health, self-sabotage, self-discovery, identity, and trauma recovery. I sought a contrast of a smooth, airy mood, and other times it's more choppy and rhythmic. The more I change, the more I stay the same. Instead of fighting and judging it, or seeking to be something else, this album seeks to water the grass it's standing on.”
