Stoneship 03:09
When I first arrived I was greeted by the sky Shining blue upon the waves that bore me But now that I've returned The water roils and boils and churns And the clouds above are dark and stormy I know you can't always expect what's most appealing But clinging to my vessel I begin to get the strangest feeling That I'm not going home Sure as you can't steer a train You can't fend off sudden change It'll strike where and when it wants to Sure as ship can't sail on stone I can't get through this alone Fearful thoughts to paralyze and haunt you But after all there is a beauty in the unexpected As long as Earth's beneath my feet I'm never unprotected (You're not going home) Well maybe I don't want to (No one's going home) Maybe I don't need to (Never going home) Maybe I, I can find anything I'll ever need Be it ship or stone So just stop gumming up the works And digging in the dirt For a rock to replace your heart with Waves that break upon the shore Don't matter anymore You've grown up to be awfully smart, kid And you should know by now what happens when you hit the ground Get back up and take a look around at everything you've found (You're not going home) Well maybe I don't want to (No one's going home) Maybe I don't need to (Never going home) Maybe I, I can find anything I'll ever need Be it ship or stone

Kayak 04:08
Double kayaks cut down on survivor's guilt Dying on my feet below the amber waves of silt Wrest control away from Andy Kaufman's ghost What else could I do to save the one I love the very most Send me chemicals to rest my weary head Set aside that we could wake up in the morning dead But I don't care if we never see the shore I will always love you more Than is healthy for a boy my age I can run, I can sprint and I can leap Into 13-story windows creep Leave my scent upon your sheets And you will sigh, it's only me again Kiss me as I leave again Paddle off into the night Something has gone screwy with the government Stoneflower Mason Huey in the ad for Doublemint Maybe I'll go missing in the woods tonight If I do just promise me you won't give up the fight Cause I don't care if we never see the shore I will always love you more Than is healthy for a boy my age I can run, I can sprint and I can leap Into 13-story windows creep Leave my scent upon your sheets And you will sigh, it's only me again Kiss me as I leave again Paddle off into the night Assessing information with my huge gigantic brain I built a silo out of fear and now I'm drowning in the grain The gears of time will slow if any single drop is spilt But at least a double kayak would preclude survivor's guilt YEAH

Come on down to Fuckler's Cove beneath the stormy skies Deep below the ocean waves is where my body lies If you know to wake the wind I'll let you come inside Come on down to Fuckler's Cove and meet some friends of mine

The racetrack disappeared but we were still trying to ride the horse Now if I were king of America I'd let nature take its course Blanket all the folly with a different kind of green At least then we'd have a chance to capture what we need Cause there's precious few left who will fight for us And the ones who won't despise the ones who will And I can barely hide all the rage I feel inside For the man atop the blood-soaked golden hill You spent your whole life chasing cheers From a jury of no peers Don't think for a minute you're beyond reproach When you're compartment no. 2 in the Calais coach Every night a world in flames floats in through my window And it tells me things about its day that I don't wanna know What did he say this time? And who did what with when? Brace myself for a rousing game of here we go again I've been waiting on the day That I can look into your cold dark eyes and say The words that you've spent your whole life just begging to hear Lean real close, I'll scream them in your ear You spent your whole life chasing cheers From a jury of no peers Don't think for a minute you're beyond reproach When you're compartment no. 2 in the Calais coach Legacy's a funny word Yours has finally been secured You ain't nothing but a needle in my eye And I'm gonna throw a party on the day you die Someday when you're gone I'll be happy and free I'll sing my favorite songs And you won't see me But in my restless fading dreams I think someone oughta take one for the team It just makes me wanna scream Someone oughta take one for the team And put you out of my misery Don't think for a minute you're beyond reproach When you're compartment no. 2 in the Calais coach Disgrace to life, disgrace to death With every single rotten breath I'm always practicing my goodbyes Cause I'm gonna throw a party on the day you die

Thanks for listening to my debut EP! There's 3 full songs and a suite of 19 "microsongs" in the vein of They Might Be Giants. Please enjoy and have an absolutely huge day!

credits

released June 30, 2021

Every note of this EP was written*, programmed, played, sung, and recorded by me but I do have a laundry list of people without whom this EP would not exist.

Special thanks to Ben Neill, Zach Layton, Gilad Cohen, Marie Chapman, Lila Papiernik, Sam St. Satellite, Joel Wetsig, Dan Fakelastname, and Tim Platt for various bits of songwriting/production inspiration and feedback.

Extra special thanks to my parents and sisters for supporting my decision to pursue music professionally. This one's for you <3.

Super enormous bigass huge fuckin thanks to Ralph Scimeca for allowing me to use his bass, amp, and electric guitar on this EP. He is the reason any of this sounds presentable. Thank you so much!

*obviously I didn't write the music in Nationalism Is Dumb Parts 1-4, but, come on.
