I think I may just be on to something here Is what I’d tell myself if I had nothing to fear But this 130th draft is speaking to me. Writing for myself seems to get harder and harder but Writing through you seems to be like the start of The end of those long nights not knowing what to do But maybe just once I can see one of these through Start of the end I say but really I don’t know I could go on to 131 but wait woah now Slow down, don’t get ahead of yourself right yet Let’s at least hear the chorus before you trash and forget, so Hurricane, in my brain, words swirling ‘round But none are connecting, none at least that I’ve found So I take a new number and start all again Can you please help me can you please be my friend ‘Cus there’s a Hurricane, in my brain, thoughts falling out I’m here and I’m worried, but I won’t scream and shout Because I still have faith, which may be a lie But you fake it ‘till you make it, just try not to die doing so Hurricane, in my brain, words swirling ‘round But none are connecting, none at least that I’ve found So I take a new number and start all again Can you please help me can you please be my friend ‘Cus there’s a Hurricane, in my brain, thoughts falling out I’m here and I’m worried, but I won’t scream and shout Because I still have faith, which may be a lie But you fake it ‘till you make it, just try not to die doing so

Please accept this apology even though it’s been so long I know this isn’t the first time, but I know that I was wrong Forgive and forget is what they say, but how can you do that for me? It’s too much to ask, so don’t tell just for simplicity’s sake Different times are different lives Different journeys we all go through But different lies call for different Despising ideologies that I see in you Everyone changes, like the channels on TV Could be for better, or for worse But then there’s little old me Too scared for lovin’, too scared for fuckin’ Double entendre screwin’ up just walkin’ Everything I do is in good taste So I say to myself as I take it at my own pace You talk too much, yet you don’t say enough Empty promises of being “up to snuff” You are loved, you are cherished, you are just what they want Another cog in the machine that society runs ‘cause Oh I know where I’ve been going But I can tell where you’ve been You’ve got marks and scratches, and loving patches Let me wash away all this sin In the crystal basin of the fountain of yore Wash away the blood until I am pure And I know… I’ll be clean Now let’s make this clear I love you more than anything But the constant lies that wrap my mind Are what makes me sing I don’t wanna let you down But that ship may have sailed And I wanna be friends But I just sit here and fail Take this all with a grain of salt ‘Cause I don’t know how it’s all my fault And yet I’m the one who’s saying it is While the Chains of Time go and chase our kids Our kids are becoming adults now ‘Cause you can’t catch time from the calf to the cow For the smilies and fantasies we all dream about It’s melting our faces and giving us gout And drugging us up, and killing us all But before that we must first suffer the fall In the bottomless pit that you stumbled on once But the cover’s revealed so it’s time to, what? Jump! And you’re falling forever, but is that quantified? And you’re just terrified, fate is solidified This is not dignified, what does it signify? Yeah you’re going to die, yeah you’re going to die Oh I know where I’ve been going But I can tell where you’ve been You’ve got marks and scratches, and loving patches Let me wash away all this sin In the crystal basin in the fountain of yore Wash away the blood until I am pure And I know…

There’s a light in the dark shining bright Like a moth to a flame in your sight Drawn closer, you fly over there You belonging just seems fair A sense of hope, a sense of doubt A sense of something you can’t live without Just fit in, just be normal Why not be loved? A dying star in a wormhole I belong here I belong here I belong here I belong here Well I came to some realization When my schedule was cleared No more life, no more meaning It’s everything I feared But with the knocking on the door to my mind I figured something was wrong What do you do when there’s nothing to do Well you sing that goddamn song, and it goes like… Well the sign says no entry There’s cobwebs on the floor Apologies for the mess I’ve made I just can’t do this no more I would invite you in to stay a while But the AC’s on blast and the conditions are vile Turn your back to the mess and let out a sigh I’ll change again one more time, and it goes like… Oh oh oh oh I want to belong here Oh oh oh oh I want to belong Oh oh oh oh I want to belong here Oh oh oh oh I want to belong

Here, Now 04:21

Backed up against a closing door Heard a thing I had dreaded before The words bouncing off against the floor God I just don’t want to hide it It’s just something that I adore Nothing less, and nothing more And yet I strain ’til my mind is sore God there’s no need to fight it I just don’t wanna seem too exceedingly dramatic I blow out the proportion, most are just empathetic Understanding, all supportive, caring, and not overbearing But the select few who decide to take it and go blaring All over the neighborhood, “hey look at that weirdo” “He’s just like you and me except there’s something you don’t know” Then they blabber on for days on end, while you worry of what’s been said Subconsciously you know it’s fine, the sticks and stones will come in time Is it you that I’m looking for When I finally open that door Nothing less, but so much more God I belong here now Is it you that I’m looking for Open arms staring on, yeah that’s for sure So I run and I jump, and I hit the floor And I’ll laugh it off now Second family coming into play Cause I’m thinking about you every day You may be distant, and we may not talk much But damnit I love you and I’ll sing just as such Yeah I’ll call to the towers, I’ll sing with the choir I’ll do everything that my heart desires I’ll call to the people, preaching to the liars I’ll do everything that my damn heart desires Is it you that I’m looking for When I finally open that door Nothing less, but so much more God I belong here now Is it you that I’m looking for Open arms staring on, yeah that’s for sure So I run and I jump, and I hit the floor And I’ll laugh it off now Is it you that I’m looking for When I finally open that door Nothing less, but so much more God I belong here now Is it you that I’m looking for Open arms staring on, yeah that’s for sure So I run and I jump, and I hit the floor And I’ll laugh it off now

Where We Leave You Off (In The End) 07:37
lyrics

So this is where we leave you off in the end You say “you don’t know where you’re going” I say “don’t matter, just keep hoping”
Your eyes the glimmer through the smoke and mirrors Before us all So this is where we say goodbye in the end I don’t want to finish this Maybe I shouldn’t finish this Maybe we shouldn’t finish this Are we premature? Well there’s a million things that I’ve gotta say Before the ground takes me back and I start to decay But until then… The train’s leaving I’ve never been that good at saying goodbye That’s why I’m dragging on Don’t even know how to close this song Got a couple more minutes longer Then it fades away There’s so many ways to close a thought on a page Yet I can’t think of one How do you just leave off be done How do you not just carry on I’ll stop thinking now ‘Cause there’s a million things that I’ve gotta do Before life slips away and all that’s left is you But until then… Train’s leaving I think I may just be onto something here Is what I told myself, but now it’s been over a year So I think we’re done, I think there’s nothing left to fear

about

This collection of songs consists of material written between 2021 and 2024. Originally starting as completely unrelated tunes, it eventually evolved into a project of its own. It's about fear, it's about growth, it's about losing friends and making new ones. It's about thinking too much and not thinking at all. I really hope you enjoy it.

Words and Noise by Winter!
Written in my bedroom over the last three years
Recorded in my bedroom over the last one and a half years

Thank you so much to my friends for the support. Thank you so much for listening!!!!!
