I Can't Wait to Fall in Love 03:33
lyrics
buy track
I can’t wait to fall in love To watch the scenery slowly change ‘Cause everything you feel will be much more profound Will there be rainbows And heaven’s golden bridge? And in the trees there are ornaments Remember when we were kids? Where every wish I’d make would have us feeling alive What would that boy think If he saw me now? Sullen gifts of faith Shaking fragile boughs Smudged on the lines Distance will find Something real and there to hold On darkest of nights Venus is blind I will be bright as stars I will be fine Clouds will raise their sails But we’ll still see sky I can’t wait to fall in love To put each wound in the open sun And both of us can stitch them up together alright And then I'll share the sheets With someone I could trust But how the dreams still come too easy Like how they did when I was sixteen But I know I brave life with novice hope Like I did before I never lost my strength I never lost my heart I never lost my soul

I need you and your patience As mine is wearing thin You’re the only one I trust to Hold such vile things Everytime I leave you I hardly find my feet The flame just seems to burn through Everyone I meet It hurts so much to need you It hurts so much to need you Now I can’t Live without your voice Dream without your grace A future in your words “Was last year that much worse off Before you took your meds?” I say I’m not too sure As the dulls of life feel dead But now the deepest blue is The back of your own head All else reads as blurry I drown as if I bled It hurts so much to need you It hurts so much to need you As the walls Melt like wax and fall Still I just can’t just leave A ghost that stalks the halls It hurts so much to know this (A door forever closed) It hurts so much to know this (A door forever closed) As the guilt Overflows and stains Imprison all my thoughts I’m sorry for it all

When I was thirteen I lost that young gleam Misused, I made the wrong choice I scratched at the seams I felt like I was thin as air Although the cost couldn’t keep me there I woke from a dream The sun was just steam And blood, the poison of will Untied all my seams I need your faith to grab my hand To string me in, make me touch the sand Safety drained Addiction‘s pain I cannot change ‘Cause I’m not a perfect person

The Leaves on the Grass 05:04
lyrics
buy track
Don’t pull away It only will make the pain grow fierce Just close your eyes And trust that we will try our best I’ll wish and I’ll pray That we could have one more good day But I know and you know The leaves on the grass will soon decay Death waiting in the rafters The nature of us all The earth’s grand pit of tar Will never heed light Just smile Consumed like everything Black and lonely night This is not right It just is The way of all of us The sun was west But still I was not aware of that I stare at what’s left And know not what to even feel Life openly expires The nature of us all The earth’s grand pit of tar Will never heed light Just smile Consumed like everything Black and lonely night This is not right It just is The way of all of us I no longer recognize that face you wore Small, defiled Life’s poor disguise is some weird game Or bad wine Grave lies Don’t cry, don’t colour your cheek All dressed in black shroud Butterfly The weak are always the ones spoiled with harsh truths Good luck

End Song 02:39
lyrics

I can fight it But the mind decided first And the body says its words I cannot protect my ideals I love you fully But the water’s running clear And there’s nothing else to hear I will do my best to make you proud I do need you But the past is all I have And this fleeting foggy plan The highs are high but the lows really kill me I trust you mostly But the clouds begin to spread There’s more I should have said I will try my best but I am unsure I will try my best but I am unsure I will try my best but I am unsure

about

This EP was written between February 2022 and May 2023. I worked on it while also working with my band Community Development and on my future solo album.
The songs on The Ghost (except for Leaves on the Grass) tackle past issues and how they affect who I am now. I consider it my darkest and most experimental project to date.
I hope it resonates with you as much as it does with.

Thanks to Aaron Langdon for always being available to drum and for giving valuable input on my mixes.
And thank you to Sharbel Chater, Charlotte Wyvill, Remy Bradley, and Abby Langdon.
