we don't make music

... well... we do, but it's more than that to us...

WE TELL STORIES

BECAUSE WE WANT TO FEEL

We know what it feels like to not be seen. Some of us have felt unseen and misunderstood our whole lives. Some may think it's best to run away from feeling that, but we run towards it, fearlessly.

This doesn't mean we're completely reckless; we revere our hardships, pain, trauma, etc. Our goal is to give it a name - to acknowledge it exists and validate ourselves in knowing the hard times suck; they really do.

Ultimately, we want an escape; we know a few others who do as well. We tell stories to give a big ole' middle finger to the baggage that accompany them; we do it creatively to show it that we're better.

Tell me one time if you'll love me
or leave me alone to my thoughts all night
'Cause it'd be unkind if you told me
you'd leave me / Don't leave me alone tonight

Would it be too soon to assume
that I'm better off counting the loss of you?
I haven't one clue if I'm just overthinking,
but now is the time to choose

I'm in a rush again / it's taking me to the edge
Is my innocence par for the course?
I'm eager to see the end / they say it'll all make sense
That the heartache will cease to exist

Who would've thought that for a minute
things could get better?
I'm throwing my cares away / tomorrow's another day
I could've sweared that for a minute I thought I knew better
Than counting a loss today / 'cause my time is far from over

I'd never been told that the days are ahead
where I'm doing my best 'til now?
Was never so bold to neglect the conception
that life is so stupid cold

I'm in a rush again / it's taking me to the edge
Is my innocence par for the course?

FAR FROM OVER

FAR FROM OVER
