Fake Love 02:16
I tried to say your name but I couldn’t Pull me to the side, ask if i’m alright Well, I tried to say your name but I couldn’t Lure him in Let him think he’s a part Get a room We’re annoying already! Genuine, who’s obsessed!? Best friends holding hands Genuine, it’s play pretend Married to the bit Shouting one shouting one shouting one Comfort carelessly, occupy my mind Glimmers of a ghost I,m practically subscribed Jokes, you’re my favorite too I knew it wasn’t real but I didn’t think it was fake Comfort carelessly, occupy my mind Glimmers of a ghost I’m practically subscribed Jokes, you wear jokes so well One wing less than birds still one more than most The world is fucking crazy I can’t trust anyone again Lightning struck me twice I need to get a hold of you now Oh so insignificant Lying there in contemplation Something’s coming over me I need to get a hold of you now Comfort carelessly, occupy my mind ooh Glimmers she’s a ghost, have i unsubscribed? Got the date marked, well the window I- Psycho, cut me up, don’t feed me then forget Comfort carelessly, occupy my mind Glimmers of a ghost I’m practically subscribed Jokes, you’re my favorite and I don’t mind Knew it wasn’t real but I didn’t think it was fake I knew it wasn’t real but I didn’t think it was fake

Mismovement 03:21
Shifting out my lane to match you in motion Moving towards a beam crossing at the same sign Smoke clears through the screen, watching pictures in motion Highlight, play it back, this is far from an accident Tripped over your trust, call it faulty motion Pixel perfect? Flesh and bone and it’s dreamlike Sorry, getting weak, can you pronounce emotion? Call, I’ll pick you up, we’ll sing at the same time Drift, feel the entire appeal Of an invite That’s right, it’s who who they know Staring at god Oh angel beckons Windswept up Let something happen I got shook by the signs Enraptured by the lines she read right through my eyes I’m so quick to deny Flattered by the lines you sent right to my eyes Couldn’t stay inside, race for excessive motion Falling, yeah we won, the hex is gone! A yes and one “excitedly”, what a notion Lighting fireworks, they were confused I looked in all directions Thought lost, til I saw what had to be my reflection And it never looked like that So I dove right in I got so lost on the coattails of you as if meticulously crafted to lead us both towards royal blues You were effortless To comb through a maze I knew so well, I could only tiptoe For one false turn, a stutter step, a mere mismovement could end this delusion But I took it upon myself, called out, found myself back where I’ve been I heard the worst possible sound, it was nothing at all I searched for reason upon reason Agonizing until I realized there didn’t need to be one Maybe we just missed the timing Or maybe there was nothing to miss There’s a play here that flickers where clouds conjure Batting the eye of the storm you chose to sleep in, stagnant and selfless As the tempest thins you are greeted as if expected all along and it is yours Move forward So what if she’s not bedside window With motions that match yours, but rather a face-down still in defense Attack it yourself, if the signs make sense Not a fake, she’s just nice Blinded by the lines you meant right to my eyes If you love her let her go You don’t love her don’t let her go

Oh, I’ve displeased regime Knew it was too easy come but easy go Just like my expectations had foreseen Enigmatic scenes Night’s dressed to kill oh please slay me How I would never beseech Assurance is fleeting And you’ve no idea Unaware of the effects of a set royal decree Unwelcome me Cause it’s a trap, my great king, Of course it’s what you think You leave me in dead time I’m waving out of your house Just to show it’s not that deep Mirror moments please you So wild if I play the exact same pain Oh I’ve displeased regime Knew it was too easy come but easy go Just like my expectations had forseen Enigmatic scenes Night’s dressed to kill me Or watch it implode from a distance Drought You know i’m thirsty Uphold my chances, servants don’t get chances You don’t care You serpent Usurper Vouch if you hear me I’m done tracing steps that you don’t take Reluctant yes Don’t act like that’s valiant Maddy knew what you meant Kat knew just what you meant I ascend to take the spire You would never reach, solo I fell down, but scraped the spire You could never feel so low Oh Show’s still going On repeat and it’s kinda boring I’ve drawn the parallels, the biased took your bait He’s not normal, don’t bend to his fate

New moon lies Send her reparations He won’t confess his crimes Naive, sweet sublime “He’s coming back I swear it” No, you don’t have to bear it I could spit this Spread like wildfire Save you from the whispers So vile, so vile I could fix this A risk to take the mile All truths reveal themselves now he’s gone Begone! I could bide your time Whisk you away Like sun, light needs light You could be mine for just a short while Parting gift, face tattoo I could ease your mind Your hatred of planes, paige, oh what’s his name Jealous of something I feel quite the same Come now, it’s not too late I could curse his shrine Writhe for her distaste, fair trade for liars He could be dead in memory And I could be your first kiss

In review there are some pieces that we moved to soon Towards the moon, we must go about 500,000 miles in half Like that old hopeful poem you’d recite every night When movies still hid miracles, they’d all play so nice Singing “oyasumi” make it this year, alright? Thought I’d leave this dream by now, tired of closing my eyes There's a base, keep it steady now Flawless, enter skyline That's a risk and you know it Crack the ozone soon Only halfway, don't celebrate Halfway’s more than alright An impossible feat in this space and time, it’s finally possible, don’t lose Diamond, she’s playing diamond, he’s playing diamond, diamond he’s playing too Diamond, she’s playing diamond I’m watching from great heights are you watching too Let’s make a new rule I’m low on options Let’s say it’s your move “No thanks You said this was endless And I’m apathetic” “How’d we not know that?” IN THIS SPACE AND TIME IT’S ALL DISTORTION In this space and time it’s finally possible to keep on going in a game we’d perfect? Brilliant, all is lost well Most things fall apart The real infinite truth I’m shining just for you

about

"Fake" was born from the appreciation of fun, fast paced emo songs under 3 minutes. I took a weekend in 2021 to structure some of my recent ideas (and 1 scrapped idea from "In Backgrounds") and by the end of it, I had the foundation of 4 for what became the first 4 tracks on this EP. It took some time (and some greatly unexpected turmoil *sigh*) but I found a way to bring these ideas to life.

The contents of these songs have evolved beyond their initial stages and the overall sentiment I take from them now is as follows:

don't hurt people. don't be fake :)
