1.	Genius at taking bad news 04:00	lyrics	buy track
I promise that I won't freak out I won't react no matter what comes out I solemnly swear to lock it up in my head And to think about it hard until I have to forget You know you can relax with me I'll take the news so naturally First I'd like to take a quick time out To dab the perspiration dripping from my brow We've all had bad days Lord knows I've had a few So please don't hesitate I'm great at taking bad news I promise that I'll blame myself Second guess all of my offers to help I solemnly swear to just nod my head And to think of all the things I said I now regret No offense but I'm doing fine Sound of body and of heart and mind Certainly prepared to face another day And to graciously accept what you're about to say We've all had bad dreams Lord knows I've had a few So please don't hesitate Genius at taking bad news Call me up and tell me all your bad news I know that it's coming so just let it loose So please don't hesitate What do you have to lose Just tell me everything Genius at taking bad news Call me up and tell me all your bad news I know that it's coming so just let it loose Bad news
2.	Would be crazy if so 04:56	lyrics	buy track
Imagine my heart just stops From thinking about it hard enough Right in front of all my friends Imagine the embarrassment Going smoothly Just daydreaming Don't mind me No really I'll be fine Quite alright I Don't Mind I Told you I don't really mind It happens to me all the time I said don't worry I'm Truly not even surprised It's every day of my life Please don't worry Imagine if the world just stopped We all go and fall right off Right before I hit the sun I think of something dumb I've done Imagine something really went wrong Don't imagine I'd last long Imagine the intrusive thoughts Imagine I could make them stop Imagine Could happen Nothing's burning Ignore me Really would be Very crazy If So I Told you I don't really mind It happens to me all the time I said don't worry I'm Truly not even surprised It's every day of my life Please don't worry
3.	Simple ways to change your life 04:27	lyrics	buy track
Please believe If things could change I'd only be Myself in name If the world was not so wide If we had a bit more time Recently I thought of how I could see Things turn around Fix the way I feel inside Simple ways to change your life Simple ways To change Follow these steps no you won't be sorry No more regrets when you write the story Scrolling through my phone In my tiny little home Is all I really ever do But if things could change In any little way I know I could do better too It's true Believe you me I see a path Where we could be Content at last If we lived in simpler times I know things could turn out alright It actually Explains itself Simply be Somewhere else Change the world, change your mind Simple ways to change your life Simple ways To change Follow these steps no you won't be sorry No more regrets when you write the story Scrolling through my phone In my tiny little home Is all I really ever do But if things could change In any little way I know I could do better too It's true I just need a home Or a place to call my own A tiny little space to breathe To switch up, change my life If I had the time Would really do the trick for me For me Simple ways It's true To change For me
4.	I renounce the sun 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Rely on instinct Pure circadian I don't go outside at all Light and vitamins I want no part of them Yes I renounce the sun I renounce the sun The night is where I belong My will will stay until it's gone Summer simply doesn't exist I refuse to recognize it Nothing to lose, there's no excuse for it

about

These songs were written and recorded over the past year while thoroughly locked down and quarantined from the outside world. You may notice that somewhat reflected in the lyrics if you reaaaally read closely.

All of it is comprised of just one instrument, programmed drums and then a whole lot of layers of vocals. All by me. Imagine if like... Royal Blood or The White Stripes were just one person, that's what this is I guess. Remember when Jack White said Meg was his sister when they were actually married? That's sort of what's going on here but it's just me so it's not weird.
