~ This record is dedicated to everyone in my life that has supported me and inspired me to write this record; anyone who has let me crash on their couch when things got to heavy or when I needed to be away from things; anyone who motivated me to play the music I wanted to play; anyone that has kept me sane; anyone who has fed me and given me a home away from home; anyone who has made me feel safe, and anyone who has shared a piece of themselves with me. Without these things we as humans wouldn't be able to be Astronomical. Thank you. Peace always and much love. ~
"My heart has driven miles into the sky, burst through my chest so it can fly. Sitting outside the sun it hides cause it is just as scared as we are. and there's no sleep cause Im to good for it. The water's rising like the pain, like the anxiety i feel, but I keep drinking just to hide it."
Track Name: Hiding Under Covers
And we never had a chance, we fell apart from the start. We would hide under the covers so we wouldn't get caught, and all I have to say is, You're a wonderful feeling.
Track Name: New Friends and Empty Words
And I can't believe just as how much as change, but how it still stays the same. Now my best friends are the ones I see every couple of months. And if I could fill you in my lungs, I'd breathe much better tonight. You're like a song in my head that goes. Nah nah nah./ And all I see is a faded image of what I used to be slipping through the panes and cracks of my mind. Don't be gone when I get home. You're all I have.
Track Name: Hide and Seek
You can't find me. Cause I don't want to ever let go. There are to many things left that I don't want to know. My biggest fear is that I haven't learned anything at all. And I don't want to talk about the things I put you through, I'd rather have a home when I'm coming back to you. This one track pony can swallow his pride, it'll be alright. There are all these things that I really want to do but I can't find the courage to give them up for you. Im so scared of the boy I used to be cause in the end he'll be the end of me. So please don't find me.
Track Name: Your Head On My Chest
Nothing more heartbreaking than a friend that just stays a friend. When Im feeling down and out I can feel the grass grow around my feet. Three hundred arms wrapped around her body keeping her away from me as I become the victim of a sleepless night. Step by step I find myself in someone else's shoes, but I haven't learned from my mistakes I've always had to loose. I'll never let go.
Track Name: Non-Stop Treadmill
And I can't slow down on this non stop treadmill. I've ran for miles on these broken bones. With both hands held high, I reach to the sky.
Track Name: It Puts a Smile On My Face to See You Happy, Even Without Me In Your Life
It's hard to say goodbye. And I try and try and try. Sometimes I can't tell the difference between imagination and reality, and you said this would make things easier. Not at first but eventually.
Track Name: 10 Feet of Water Underneath Me
It seems I've lost myself again. I pay the price for my own convictions, but still I want so much more. I sacrifice myself again. I know what I've become. There are still so many to say goodbye. What I want, what I have, what I cannot understand. We always become the victim./ And it feels so wrong to think that I've moved on. And all the people, I never got to say goodbye. All the people, I tried to make it right. It feels like Im running in circles now, it feels like I can't let go. Part of me is not at home, I can't hold on to the things I know. And maybe I'll get some sleep tonight. All the people, they always stay trapped in my mind. All the people I know.
Track Name: You Can Never Really Know
And I want one more chance, a voice in the distance is all I am. Things don't seem the same...without you. And I've had my ups and downs before but thats just what I live for. I tried so hard. Well take me back cause I want to go back, Im always looking back. It's the same way, same place. I will let you go, I can save myself. You told me Im not the one I used to be and I just said "no". I don't even think you know what you put me through./ And sometimes what you have to go, you can never really know. I thought my life had some sense but this is my last chance.
