Your left over scent from the pillow, it bled into my pores. I was impressed by your smile when you walked out the door, even though it wasn't for me, and you've been gone since 10am, I thought it was worth waiting to see that smile again. Little did I know, the shape of your mouth was for someone else, and little did I know, you were just looking for notches in your belt.

I've noticed your lack of introspection, and your daft disregard of circumventing the problems in your life that muddle your understand of integrity. I've noticed your lack inspiration. That same self portrait, so formulaic, crafted from gouache and pencil, with a neck dripping blood and an arrow through your chest. I've noticed your overwhelming ego that doesn't quite match the caliber of your character, and it's just used to mask your crippling insecurity. I've noticed your overwhelming presence, controlling every aspect of my mind, and it's about time I flush you out, once and for all. Maybe I'm what's wrong with the world. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm wrong.

On that park bench, I carved your name. When I went back it wasn't the same. Couldn't forget your fast enough. All we ever did was mess each other up. The chemicals in my brain won't quit playing games. The label on your drink is picked away, you're nervous, I can tell we shouldn't stay.

I Want You 04:02
Some say you want me, some say you don't. It's never really matter much to me. Some say you're leaving, some say you're not. It's never really mattered much to me. I don't want you, you've known that from the start. How is this not obvious? I won't leave you if it breaks my heart, How are you so oblivious? I don't want you to go. I don't want you. I don't want you. Some say you're selfish, some say you're not. I've never really seen that side you. Some say you're selfless, some say you're kind. I've never really seen that side of you. I want you. I don't want you. I want you. I want you.

I can feel your chest depress. I can feel your shoulders shrug. Enough is never enough. Embrace my silence, for it's not malicious. I'm tongue tied, and I'm suspicious. I can't feels your breath. and when you have nothing left, Your oxygen will stay, on my neck. Embrace my delusions, and play along. Put on a smile when you hear this song. I can feel your scowl, I can feel your eyes. You didn't hear from me, but I'm all right. How can I get through the night? You didn't hear it from me, but I'm all right. How am I supposed to get through the night?

Is this how it feels? Is this how it feels to start fresh? Feeling all this unexpected emptiness? We laughed in the park and waited for the rain to subside. The droplets reflected roundly in your eyes. The droplets reflected roundly in your eyes. We laughed on the porch and waited for the sun to rise. The moon reflected roundly in your eyes. The moon reflected roundly in your eyes. Is this how it feels? Is this how it feels to come to an end? We once were lovers and now we're friends.

I Sigh 03:49
I have many plans about, uh, next month, so...But they are secrets for now. I don't want to say anything to anyone, even you. I don't if we'll be lovers or friends, or..uh...but I can't describe it, I know that it's there, and I'm sure that you'll be in my life, forever. I know that it is there, I only have to wait. So, ciao bella, ciao.

about

This is the longest and most cohesive album Different Cuts has released to date. It came to fruition in the wake of a break-up. It came to fruition in the wake of an accident, resulting in a broken back. While processing feelings of emotional and physical pain, there's always moments of progress, redemption, and joy. This is a roller coaster of an album. It can't decide weather to be happy or sad. It can't decide to be open or reserved. It is supposed to reflect the wide range of emotions that go with events that leave lasting impressions on us as humans.
