    Spiritual successor to The Bad Ideas We Build Worlds, this album fills in a gap between where I was three years ago and now, and the artwork is meant to reflect that. Sometimes we have to, metaphorically, die a few times before we get to truly live. The tray artwork is a piece by my son, Ezekiel Pascouau, that he created two years ago and I'm very excited to finally be able to juxtapose that image with a photo I took around the same time.

about

"What does it feel like to fall in love when you're not ready? What does it feel like to hate yourself so much for it that you keep it a secret?"

lyrics

I thought of you for months with no intent to stop
And taught myself old songs I might never play for you
I don't want to forget this flash of what you are
And what you mean to me now when I have everything to lose

Your face felt like a kiss those times I was alone
I sang to you more than you might ever know
I made a mistake - I made a fraction known
And the whole thing inside me screwed and twisted and burned

I got carried away

I just want to scream how much that I adore you
I swallow it whole and I choke on the thought
In brief and passing moments - Your hand against mine lightly
Where you begin, I feel the end of me

I got carried away

I push against the shame - I feel too much to lie
My whole life I've tried to diminish and deny
But I can love you from a distance if that's what I'm meant to do
I don't know if it will last, but it feels like pain that I'm supposed to

I got carried away

I got carried away
