GREY

Full EP

Track List:

  1. Don’t worry I’m writing “serious” songs now – 

  2. I have a teacher in Brooklyn – and we pretend 

  3. what we’re doing is consequential, collectively 

  4. choosing to forget that we’ll both die one day, 

  5. we’re not even sure when, (it could be tomorrow,) 

  6. y ella continúa enviando un correo electrónico de nuestra Zoom programada

  7. and I send her payment through Venmo 

  8. sometimes even the day before the lesson 

  9. which I would like to think that if I died 

  10. before the lesson at least she gets a little 

  11. paper because she deserves way more 

  12. than I can pay for her electing to

  13. forget with me that we’re both going to die 

  14. one day. 

  15. Anyway. 

  16. I wrote and recorded my first full song on a dingy beige and floral sofa in a living room

  17. with bad lighting in East Dallas, 2019. I had just gotten a divorce, rented a house, and

  18. había mudado con mi hij@ de tres años el mes antes. En 2019, no tenía ningún idea

  19. that what I was writing and recording on my every-other-free-weekend was an EP that I

  20. would finish in my bedroom the week I’d get laid off from my dream job in Los Angeles, 2024.

  21. Bonus
