Legroom 02:01
when it's the harbinger's turn to materialize when the crashing of your darkest hour begins I'll be waiting for you when it's time for you to see the joy when it's time to cry for life I'll be waiting for you but I'll need a little legroom on the way I'll need a little breathing room so i can lose my stutter and gain my confidence when all seems lost and lights dim fast when hearts are weak and spells are cast I'll be waiting for you I'll be waiting for you I'll be waiting for you I'll be waiting for you

I know it's a risk but I've let go of your grasp no starlight in the musk of creeks and fog of grass deliverances materializing, let delphinus crash tonight it's quantifying, electrifying my steps from now on I know I'm a fraud or a daunting fuck sometimes I know I have lips of spikes or teeth of mud your mussitations are no match for me your energy will, maybe, get you somewhere get you where you have to go get you where you have to go get you where you have to go I know you'll get where you have to go I got my love and love's welcoming me home I've all choked up letters and paintings, kennings unknown marauder town, get stiff on the ground gurgles and drains bent til I'm vivified I'm bent til I'm vivified bent til I'm vivified I'm bent til I'm vivified it's all just the same it's all just

Cardinals 05:00
I had a note, it was all I could hum I had a hint and I had a drum direct my paths, floor to hand, palm to sky no touch and no reason why, at least that I could see and I have known and I have sunlight and blooming lungs and the voice of a leader floored myself too much oh the piercing screens and the poignant guns garnishing fear with a hint of preclusion you take a drop and it, well, it descends and I have known and I have sunlight and blooming lungs and the voice of a hero perilous fight, I jumped over a creek now holding my own as the last of my family they all spoke too soon if we held each other like perigee to the earth maybe our breaths would amass a new timeline reddened and bright cardinals pass, you wouldn't have spotted them thank god I have not overheated quite yet and I have known and I have sown and light and blooming lungs and the voice of a hero

and we walk down as the smoke scales a gradient and the sunlight it burns us, coral or beige I hope that this won't be the end but if it is, a stunning plume could permeate our final view and then as we walk down the airstrip and see the planes crash not too far overhead it was with you, my love a precarious kiss we shared you're going out tonight, but so am I you're going out tonight, love of mine you're going out tonight, and I'm not too far behind you're going out, out, out tonight and we kiss the cement, at least that's how it felt and we grounded ourselves like sidewinders in sand we touched palms like the sweat would bind us and suddenly, we felt more real than we'd ever imagined and then as we speed down the airstrip and hear the planes resound like winter bells as the righteous run, my love and maybe we'll be saved you're going out tonight, but so am I you're going out tonight, love of mine you're going out tonight, and I'm not too far behind you're going out, out, out tonight but if we danced like scintilla 'til the end if we craved each other like perigee to the earth then we won't sleep in vain and then as we float up from the smoke and remember our friends we once held near if the fire of our lord fell, we won't have to join it yeah, yeah but then as we walk down the airstrip and see the planes crash not too far overhead it was with you, my love a precarious kiss we shared you're going out tonight, but so am I you're going out tonight, love of mine you're going out tonight, and I'm not too far behind you're going out, out, out tonight

I know the story I just left you I hope it's all that I can breathe through and if you let me know which room in alone I hope it's all the same is there any way I could lead? it'll hope we'll leave someday I hope it leads someday I hope it's where you go I hope I'm there with you, that's right I hope it's somewhere I can breathe you left me here with no choice and then it's all the same I hope again one day I'll let you in again

about

this is my third and final EP of the decade! the first three songs and the final song were written prior to a very poignant dream, and tracks 4 and 5 were written after the dream. the dream was about watching two planes crash overhead as a partner and I watched in an almost addictive sort of existential horror. in that moment, in the dream, we both felt and clung onto the comfort of each other, and the frightening thought of dying young. enjoy this final venture of mine to sum up a decade of complicated relationships, stormy travels, joyous music-making and deep thinking under stars. we should all revel in the zodiacal light that provided us with beginnings and ends that have helped us grow as people.

yours truly,
Joe :)

p.s.: this EP should be played LOUD.
