about

Fun Fact(s): I still bite my lips, constantly. "One sip" refers to a very particular brand and flavor of juice that takes me back to a particular moment in time, also referenced in the song "What Matters Most: Part II". More poetic license with the word "fatedly" as in it is my fate to be unexpected. I was listening to a lot of Jawbreaker's "Dear You" when I wrote this song. I used to like to open shows with this song as an attention grabber, and as a literal call to the audience that if they didn't like what they were hearing, they should leave the space instead of begrudgingly being bored or annoyed, making space for people who were actually interested (and giving me peace of mind)

lyrics

I bite the shit out of my lip whenever I get nervous. Still, no surprise it only takes one sip to bleed my lungs, the blood, the blood, the blood, that kiss, the blood, the blood, the blood. And I won't apologize to you, or anyone, for how we loved. And I know that I'm affected, fatedly unexpected. If you don't like it, then leave the room. If you can't stand it, then leave the room. Chronologically speaking, since I met you, you've been the beat my heart's been tapping to. And I can promise that I won't flinch, but I'll cringe. And I won't apologize to her, or him, or him for how I like you. And I know I'm misdirected and but an abrupt interjection. If you don't like it, then leave the room. If you can't stand it then leave the room. (You never let me get a goddamned word in regarding how broken I've been. You never let me get a goddamned word in.) If I have made your stomach sick, keep it close, and hold onto it. You'll never feel this fucked again.
