about

The first studio song I’ve recorded. It’s about the decision to cut off bad people who really don’t care about you. Special thanks to Cole Ishida-Plavcan for recording, mixing, and mastering this track, as well as putting up with all my nitpicky feedback. Also thanks to Leo Hamric for sticking with me during the writing process and inspiring parts of the bassline, and Matthew Byrne for being an incredibly supportive fan/dad.

lyrics

One day I won’t be able to count
Everyone who cares about me on one hand.
Maybe it’s misfortune or a butterfly effect,
But I don’t have anyone planned.
I want to isolate myself from all of those indifferent,
But they stick like glitter glue.
Sacrifice my sanity for a stab at all
People who can’t relate to you.

One day we’ll all grow up and regret our choices.
I hit that growth spurt too soon.
Blow out the candles for me, and don’t sweat it.
While you’re at it, pop all my balloons.
I want to isolate myself from all of those indifferent,
But they stick like glitter glue.
Sacrifice my sanity for a stab at all
People who can’t relate to you.

Am I better off alone or am I being impulsive again?

No one can locate the residue.
No one can locate the re-
