about

The third and fourth tracks were recorded (on my iPhone voice memos app) back-to-back on my front porch one evening during the summer of ‘15 while everything/everyone settled in for the night; they were written two days prior to recording.

lyrics

“You were face down on a bathroom floor—all burnt and coiled and turned out—when your mom came to pick you up; you were all numb from the waist down. In a pastel jumper, a sleeping bag, and a pair of earrings from your step-dad, you tried calling to apologize. Dear, on our second anniversary, from a motel room in Tennessee, near the blue wash of the window seat, you could barely stand to look at me. I kept careless in my confidence while you kept caught up by my arrogance—like we were unreported accidents. ‘I guess we're unreported accidents.’”
