here's another song that i wrote a while ago ago but never actually showed anyone. i wrote it back in 2014, the recording is probably from sometime in 2015. sorry that i do that so often. i write and record a lot of things, sometimes they just lost and forgotten about in old folders on my computer. anyway, you can have it for free if you want. 

i lie in my bed, with the things i thought that we said
and try to pretend that everything was dead
but you wanted to be in anyone else's life, right?
and i will forget i'm anyone else's type, right?
i'm nervous

and yeah, i've been talking to someone else
i really think it helps this all feel like it's over soon

say goodbye

"help!", his mind yelled. "it's coming back again!". he clenched his fist until it became as tight as the muscles in his stomach, digging each of his nails deep into the softest part of his palm. this isn't the first time that he felt this way and it certainly wouldn't be the last.

but, isn't that the point? isn't that why you're here? to let go of something? to let go of the concept that you are further away from something than you would like to be? letting go can be difficult but, i promise, it starts with loosening your fist.

what a beautiful body, creating chemicals from nothing in an attempt to protect you. what a perfect mind, doing exactly as it should.

it took you so long to appreciate the subtle way that it grew. if only it came as naturally as falling in love with the feeling of it being destroyed.

here's a short song that i wrote and recorded a long time ago but never actually shared with anyone. i found it on my computer recently and thought that i'd give it away for free. i doubt this thing will show up on any future albums anyway.

a house, a home, a window
you were here before the floorboards broke
in on themselves like black holes
are the promises you keep
just for people that you want

because you can't read any of our old conversations
but i read them so often it's like we still talk

two tracks recorded in october of 2015. it rained for the first time in what felt like months. the rain has always felt light to me, even when it weighs heavy on your clothes. some of my favorite memories include admiring a storm much stronger than i am.

i want to smell the rain forever. i want the wind to blow so strongly that i can barely stand. i want to hear it in the trees when i'm trying to sleep.

a short video clip of me working on this piece.

after months of hard work, the new flatsound shop is now officially up and running smoothly. it's been a long time dream of mine to handle my own merchandise. something about having a company manage my merch never felt right. the thought of someone i didn't even know assembling my packages, it never felt like something that really belonged to me. the music, the writing, the poetry, that's all my art but...at the same time, so is everything else. the interactions that i have with strangers and the pieces of myself that i share with them and the stupid tweets and pictures of the sky and now all of this.

i don't know. i just want to make cool stuff for a living, and i'm really glad that i get to do that. 

actual updates
- sleep shirts are almost gone, but are already being reprinted as i type this
- flatsound floral shirts are coming back soon i swear
- there's an obscure but very cool thing coming to the shop next week. it isn't flatsound merch, it's more of an art piece
- backpacks are just about gone, but are coming back this fall in a new color option
- sweatshirts are also coming back this fall, along with mugs and beanies hopefully!
