Two Ships 03:33
Seemingly insatiable waves, Floating in a body without a face I’m noticing the parts I’ve erased Two steps to shore to continue the chase Between Who I am and Who I was and Who I hope to be How can we overcome The burdens that we carry that aren’t our own?
And if I stop I’ll surely drown The ocean’s getting hot and my feet can’t touch the ground It’s a race between Who I am and Who I was and Who I hope to be I need two ships for sailing away on I need two ships for sailing away on I need two ships for sailing away on For who I hope to be

Here, Now 03:08
I have so many questions: will I be good enough for love? Weaving pain into passion Into a sense of fleeting home Moving out of the darkness Caught in a cave of absolutes If I only knew What’s here now Here, now, scattering ashes Onto a self I used to know I want truth on the table And to be guided by my love Here, now Into the moment Letting the demos out to breathe The bruises on the feet are fading away
3.
Oh. What a time to be alive I will scream until I die Watch the dreams fall through the skies Rest your head Turn your back against the wind Let it out and start again And I know it hurts Always in a sinking hole It’s a sad, small world Tether it all to a pole You should be happy now Feed the demons all your scraps In a washed-up world You know there’s no going back All by myself The loser always wins Everything at once is spinning Turn your back against the wind And I know it hurts Whether we are off or on, It’s a one-way road Counting the ducks in the pond You should be happy now To the altar, almost grown Though invisible Oh, what a time to be born All by myself

I’m impatient Waiting for something to change To see what’s been lost, and what remains Sometimes I’m scared it’ll all disappear And I can’t quite stand that fear I love you Though it’s deafened by shame Trying to see through The blinding rain Do we ever cease to grow, fully forgive or just let go? I’m losing perspective the deeper we fall Will we lose sight if we wander too far? I’m learning How to trust the unknown Time is fleeting And we need space to grow

about

This album traverses the seemingly insatiable waves of joy, existentialism, serenity, and bittersweet loss. All of the songs were written between 2022 and 2023 during a period of deep growth and curious change.

Special thanks to my dear community for the support they offered me during the creation of these songs and recordings. This process was truly an example of healing-as-practice, and I am forever grateful for the beautiful souls that kept me afloat during this time: Summer, Claire, Chris, Kevin, Ricardo, Matys, Eric, India, Jo, Jer, my Dawson College students, and Chœur Maha comrades. Thank you to Jack Broza for his awe-inspiring levels of creativity excellence. Additional thanks to Shyamala for letting Jack and I take over Forager HQ, and my therapists of all kinds for giving me access to deeper shades of my heart: Ellen, Kai, and Sarv. Love and warmth to whomever is reading this, and thank you for listening.
