bp2create Extremely touching and well-written album. Some of the most profound DIY indie music I've heard in a while. Favorite track: lift the walls.

fake sun 03:27
I've been so contained in this box in my mind it crushes spirit then bone spirit then bone spirit then bone spirit and then In a lack of transience it corrodes inward to build the wall and I am stuck here isolated in the navel gaze a flower grown under a lamp knows only its own shade and the world is warm till the lights go out and your fake sun is gone It was silver and gold and all kinds of red but the second you closed your eyes the tide rose and you held on for your life
2.
It's not a new observation there are no new observations just go lost in the infinite asking you how your day went prioritized feeling hypnotized again Oh, I've known that something is wrong but it's easier to just go along I'm rolling with the boulder on down Sisyphus and his fists connect to ground you've had your walls lifted you're the only reason you hide you've had those walls lifted there's no reason you can't go outside there's no more steps to take can't externalize the mess in your mind Oh, I've known that something is wrong but it's easier to just go along I'm rolling with the boulder on down Sisyphus and his fists connect to ground

bite his hand break the skin misread the room who's fucking house are we in pale gold on the wall got no plans at all after the time shift wanted to see some friends but you forgot how to talk stay the hand ignore the weight on you winter ain't done yet grass returns too soon stale mold on the wall metal table and paw he cries out your name but you can't hear his call

morning 03:32
tie my shoes when the morning comes I'll take these steps as they play the drum all laid out in a perfect line why doesn't this make me feel fine sun goes up and sun goes down you did these things what have you found sun goes up and sun goes down what did Søren say? stray from trodden ground oh I know not just what I do when the morning comes when the morning comes (x4)
6.
Pink to blue when I think about you I'll write another song keep me up till two There's no closure in dysfunction no post-credits scene it just cuts and the wound stays green To deny yourself water to ignore your thirst to stay and fester you make it worse it's not out of pity and not out of spite it's out of self loathing that you won't change your life and the wound stays green and the wound stays green
7.
if I get lost again if I get lost again if I get lost again can I call on you my friend if I get lost again if I get lost again if I get lost again can I call you my friend can I call you my friend don't wanna be the slowburn or the wreck on the side of the road don't wanna be the sideshow rubber neck keep ya from goin home just need to love and know you love me back feel less alone

oh blackbird 03:21
the wind on your face the hand on your back the walls still in place if you slip from the tracks it's in the guessing that you find your feet to fail and live that is to be free oh wind blown oak oh blackbird heart our place in between the end and the start oh wind blown oak oh my blackbird heart our place in between the end and the start
