i’m lying in my bed - wide awake im staring at the wall thinking - is this my fate i’m running through it all - the dreams changing phase even though it’s all better - and i am safe went to sleep to songs i wrote about my feelings lullabies im hearing seep into my dreaming no one right beside me the sounds outside are frightening my heart is quickly beating i’m half awake and screaming i toss and turn requiring getting up and breathing checking my surroundings no cause to fear the evening lay me down to rest now hoping for the best now i really need to calm down im hearing my alarm sound i didnt get much sleep last night i really cant tell you why it seems that im doing fine but somehow i cant shut my eyes maybe its a transitional time maybe cause im alone at night thats supposed to better, right please god let me sleep tn i’m lying in my bed - wide awake wishing you were here - instead i wait

move 01:58

why did you make that move i’m questioning it too surprised and confused unsure of what to do it’s hard sometimes to walk between the lines of space and desire will ghosts put out this fire again if you open a cocoon The butterfly will die if you need to be rescued you’ll never save your life just sit with it tune in with your mind put down that drink you’re spiraling inside hold on and think the sun will always rise just go to sleep tomorrow you can try again

skate 02:47

I went for a skate to escape my feelings the wind on my face i exhale then breathe in yeah i’m slowing my grind giving space and the time can’t get you off my mind the anxiety climbs so i’m trying this thing they’re calling human being rolling around on the smooth black pavement i’m not planing it out as it comes i take it so i’m taking my time straight ahead don’t turn right we came through this way last time and it was totally fine i really wish that i had had my knees bent oh i think it all the time should i turn left or right if i didn’t turn my head would the butterfly effect have moved me just an inch from the unforeseen events a more controlled decent of the uneven surface but then how could i ever have ignored all this weather i have myself forever and i’ll only get better so enjoy the path i’m on whatever may come ima carve up the street like a gourd on halloween i ran over some seeds and i lost my balance

about

I had no idea what was gonna happen when I challenged myself to write a song every day for 3 weeks. Originally, it started as a journaling project—something to focus my energy in a constructive and creative way during a period of time where I knew I was going to be in a heightened emotional state. At the surface, it may seem like just a lot of specific stories and feelings during an arbitrary period of time, but really it turned into a cohesive and what I feel is complete record about fear, hope, loss, pain, and acceptance.

I didn’t go digging for these things. They were literally just bubbling at the surface for me. Committing to the discipline of the daily nature of the project and writing so fast made the songs quite honest and really an important force in processing my life at the time. There wasn’t much space to doubt myself and so I just put stuff down. After finishing each song I felt myself a little bit different than before I had written it.

At the beginning of the second week, I broke my ankle in a longboarding accident. It was the most physical pain I’ve ever experienced in my life. Emotionally, I sunk pretty low but even though I wasn’t able to write every day after that point, part of my lifeline was to continue in the best way that I could in the timeframe I had set out. So I kept going.

Here I present to you “w3eks”: 13 chronological tracks that are really a score to the story of a very specific and quite unplanned season of my life. I’m lucky I had the tape rolling.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I found life in making it.

Special thanks to Earl Bennett for remotely recording live drums on “skate” and to Sam Moses for mastering all of these moods to fit together.

P.S. For anyone who needs their own creative nudge—just do it and don’t try so hard. You already have everything you need right there just below the surface.
