Needles Make Forests 01:29
lyrics

Looking out across the lake I saw A black mass of trees probably pine The metal railing I held felt synthetic, undeserving, in this natural landscape The water below me unchanged by its subterranean ecosystems acted a mirror for the sun By day since gone and for the trees constantly The only constant in this world is change Does that not apply to the stars? They are not of this Earth Pinholes in the sheet that is the night they wait there like matches in the sky's outstretched hand

Never like to turn my lights down I'm afraid that sunlight gives me social skills Wanna drive into a snow bank? Just to see how it feels I wanna burn my house down But all I have are wet matches

Sunlight Blinds 01:59

I can't fight no more I can't cry no more I can see the light I don't want to know I don't see sky no more I can't fly no more She's so far away I can't sigh no more Why can't it just be over? Why can't I just close my eyes? Why does it have to be over? Why does the sunlight have to blind me?

I saw you in the rain so I called your name You didn't hear me so I said it again You turned around and saw me there You looked so scared

lyrics

The world seemed off today My rubber soles were sticky Metal plates replaced holes in the ground Streets appeared where they weren't before I took a different road home But I ended up in the same place though The sun shone in my eyes on the bridge While my shadow got run over I nearly saw an accident Think I'd have rather gotten hit again But I'm on the sea And I feel free And I I feel My eyes can't feel can't deal can't feel can't deal can't feel

The Wind Whispers 00:44
lyrics
buy track
We walked across the lake Under the moonless sky Into the black trees Our shoes dissolved against the smoothness of leaves, freshly fallen We felt free The wind whipping our long hair, we ran, no friction to bind us to the outside world The moonlight danced across our faces The cold whispered to us "Run, and you will be free"

about

Armadillo was recorded in August, 2017 in the basement of the West Suburban YMCA in Newton, MA.

Huge thanks to Jesse Trepiak for helping me record this project and produce it. It was so much fun, and I wouldn't want to work with anyone else on it.

Huge thanks to my parents and friends for supporting me throughout this process, I love y'all and I hope you enjoy this project.
