I've been trying to make my mind up but I can't Trying to find a hill but I can't stand Chasing fairies as the wind declines Maybe it'll work out this time, or it won't Or it won't Oh babe you take me to your nirvana Oh I can't have you but I know you want to Be my baby I see right through you How long it takes me Does it matter? ... Now I'm winding back the clock on this one I don't know how I feel about time Said I didn't need you but that was a lie Wish I could turn back just to rewind Wish I could turn back it's clear to see that I want to be with you right now If you feel it, I could probably be on the next flight right back in town I finally realized that it could be just you and me and no one else You stole my heart and now I pay for your crime Can we just get over ourselves? Ourselves It doesn't matter to me, matter to me, yeah You're all I need, you're all I need, yeah Now I can see, now I can see that you're the one for me yeah You're the one for me yeah You're the one for me yeah It don't matter yeah You're all that I need yeah Now I can see that You're the one for me yeah Now I'm winding back the clock on this one I don't want to be with no one else Stole my heart and now I pay for your crime You're the one for me, yeah

Little fires everywhere Who would've thought you'd be involved You showed me a side of the world That ain't so dark, ain't so dark You pick all the right words I'm in awe I know how your mind works I'm in awe And I saw you silent, passenger side and Playing with your hair I know you're deep in thought You crack a joke and Gave it a moment, now you're heating up And the pressure is gone I admire you, you're a candlelight You handle all this pain yet you shine Beauty in the pain, beauty in the rain The thought of you just keeps me sane You inspire me, you amaze me Guiding the way through this maze of mystery Little fires everywhere who knows what's involved I don't want to stay the same Promise I'll be honest about the pain I don't want to stay the same It's cold, cold in Boston's snow, no more So long

I've been running around in my head Looking for a place to rest Dwelling in my thoughts, it's my reprieve From nothing it's harsh realities Please don't go away, please don't go away Please don't go away, from me It's true, I'm starting to sweat, starting to think it's all True, I'm starting to sweat, I'm starting to sweat I'm like: *Keyboard solo* (Are you happy? Are you free? Are you chasing your dreams?)

*Raga riffing* ... Solace, summertime was honest Walk around the town and shared our local truths How you grow I know I'll go anywhere you want at all, at all, Allah? Don't go wasting time, show your misty eyes Hotel with the dice, formal not precise You know Yeah, yeah You know I'm hoping our paved roads Now I have to go, not alone Don't worry, don't worry about me Woooo! Woooo! ... Wooowooaohh…, heh! She ask me how you spend your time… Why don’t you spend the night Haven’t you not been before? I take you to a place you can’t ignore Fuck around you can name the game Funny that I’m so insane I don’t want you to leave…please just say my name I made a thousand…ooooh sang a thousand or maybe more, Ima make sure I make more…keepin these thoughts in All the time, when you talk…ooohwoahhh it’s what you have to gain…acting like it never happened with you…yuh (yeeuh) Now you wishin that yo name was bigger Finna meet’em at the top, ooohwoahhh, remember where you came…mind moving at a thousand…yuh I don’t wanna be late You can’t allow me to dance around it, anything I can find…just like before, I been taken back by what made the game Am I the only one that stayed the same When I’m in town for me…you better make time this world is mine

I only think bad when I'm looking back Or looking at you Those eyes are so beautiful got me so confused You're something new You said I keep you safe With you it's hard to stay just friends You've been gone for so long I've been with no one Thoughts of changing, you hope I want the same things Caught in my daydreams, fantasy escaping This town before the flood Exists to rush the love we've come across Our lips touched the first time the other night The way you looked at me said you wanted me Baby let your hair down beauty queen Then you put your lips and said you could never be Without it Without it Our lips touched the first time the other night The way you looked at me said you wanted me Baby let your hair down beauty queen Then you put your lips and said you could never be Without it It's raining again, it's raining again Without it It's raining again It's raining again

Please call me out When you catch me just waiting around I'm all syced out Tell me don't start that now Too indecisve for this Go pick your fig Sylvia she's already taught us this go on go on go on Intuitions failing me For the first time we disagreed Going against my gut feelings I always start it's hard to finish Who would have thought it'd take so long But who would have thought this would take so long and so hard, I didn't know To swallow precaution Live how I want to I've never done Something like this before (x2) You keep rushing me forward (x2) I want to feel secure I'll follow your lead (x2) Do it for me (x2) I've never done this I've never done (x3) I want to feel secure I've never done - I've never done this

Under neuralgia, Ibrahim of finding my faith Losing all this Ankles in the tide In the August light Think I fell in love with the color Jade To you, so blue, colors Jade Our eyes got big, what was sacrificed Looking for the green How long will we wait? ... How long will we wait for each other (x3) How hot Little God Killer pause You keep on taking contracts you keep breaking Don't you hear my baby down below the reservoirs How long will we wait? (x2)

Outside of the party How lost I've gotten My mind my garden I might let God in Light It's vibrant, enlighten, it's lost and it's truth I'm coughing, there's coffins, with my friends, it's true It's true, it's true Well it's soon It's true This time I might let God in I'm seeing the light Abstract ideas in my mind Let's have a party in my garden Might let God in Because I'm seeing my mind Watch my friends gather near me I don't want to watch them fall See the sky Illuminating now Welcome to my mind Garden In my mind

Flawless Glad I love my baby ... Well if this is it, who will remember the greatest? And if this is it, are you good with the silence? The quiet? And who wanted you? Said a crow staring from the other side The other side The other side The other side Peace the world that made me Watch me ride

about

This album is a mosaic of sonic and aesthetic influences, drawing upon the talents of several musicians and songwriters from across Virginia. Accordingly, many songs have several vocalists and instrumentalists contributing to it. However, we wanted to maintain some cohesive thematic influences; all of us being in our younger 20s, we opted to write about loss, transitioning to adulthood, climate change, and even love. 'The Birdsong' is questioning our significance in a rapidly changing world, both as a species and as individuals.
