about

“Settle My Mind”, the live video and single are out everywhere!

Feels like such a gift releasing music right now. It’s brave to feel and be honest, and sometimes a song is the only safe place we can be truthful. I’m not sure it’s avoidable to disappoint people we care about when we’re honest. So, yeah - please publicly enjoy some of my most brutal thoughts about a time I’m no longer in, but am so grateful for - and cheers to finding where we belong.

lyrics

MMMMM
MMMMM
MMMMM
MMMMM

I’m not convinced moving again
Will help me settle my mind
I didn’t notice my shadow when I wanted the sun
Warmth in my bed or in the soul of someone
My arm’s in a sling for a couple more weeks
And my favorite mug is shattered in the sink
Joel’s cigarettes blow across the yard
I’m going on a walk but I wanna run

MMMMM
MMMMM

I can’t make myself
Oh I can’t make myself
I can’t make myself love this
I have what I need
Time slows down for me
But I can’t make myself love this
Love this

MMMMM
MMMMM

I bit my nails too short again
I brought home a cat and I didn’t ask
All my mail is unopened in piles
And I’m taking long showers till the water runs out
There’s only one leaf left hanging on the tree
I’ll wait till it falls to rake up the leaves
I’m scared to leave but I’m more afraid to stay
If I stay will everything stay the same

MMMMM
MMMMM

I can’t make myself
Oh I can’t make myself
Oh I can’t make myself love this
I have what I need
Times slowed down for me
But I can’t make myself love this
Love this

MMMMM
MMMMM
MMMMM
MMMMM

Don’t Look
Don’t Speak
Don’t Look away from me
Don’t Look
Don’t Speak
Don’t Look away from me
Don’t Look
Don’t Speak
Don’t Look away from me

MMMM
MMMM
