Closed Mind 01:42
Your rationale is gone and it's never coming back again I try not to let it get to me, it does every now and then Who's kidding who when you can't accept It's been too long with secrets kept Struggle helped me come to find You can't get past your closed mind Reaction starved for reason, and you've fallen out of touch You'll be waiting for a lifetime for me to say it's all too much What's your reason, not enough It doesn't make any sense to me

All We Need 02:19
It's alright, just leave here tomorrow It'll never start to look so gray The night that days never start to change Is the best time to walk away All the liars, all the thieves Taking what you'll never see Do what you want to, it's never coming back It's not like it used to be Shadows into the end alone But it won't ever feel unknown Killing memoirs by painting all the pages This'll be easier to read It's all we need

about

Dayyyummmm!!! Our album Troubled Hearts is a year old today! Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us in any way, it means the world. Making music is like a journal to me, it's a way to get across things that I'm feeling. I never expected people to be into my songs enough to ever want to play in a band with me or come to shows, it's crazy!
To celebrate Troubled Hearts being a year old, we wanted to release the last song from the recording sessions of the album. It's the only non-album track we have and it originally was supposed to be on it, but we decided to put "I'm Sinking, I'm Drowning" in place of it. The song is called "Closed Mind" and I wrote it shortly after coming out to my parents. The entire album has parts that reference coming out and I was planning on it being a focus in one or two songs, but it was such an overwhelming thing for me to deal with, that it turned into a reoccurring theme on the whole album. Closed Mind is hands down the most direct song about the topic and I wrote it when I felt like I was at a breaking point and couldn't hide anything behind metaphors or abstract lyrics like I normally do.
The second song on the single is brand new and it's called "All We Need". I wrote it as a response to how I was feeling during the writing of the album. I was in a very dark place around the time of writing the album and when it came out, it was hard for me to grasp life being worth it. I didn't think I was going to make it past my birthday and if you would've told me that I'd be here writing this right now I would've had a hard time believing it. The lyrics to All We Need are what I would say if I could tell myself during that time how things would end up. I was fortunate enough to have people around me that were beyond supportive. Having them along with art and music saved my life.
Thanks for the first year of being stoked on the album and hope you like the new songs!
