Sleepy Baby 03:00
Sleepy eyes and sleepy hair but the sun is high: life’s just not fair. Get out and show them what you’re worth. No one ever asked for this, but there’ve been those who’ve gone and kissed the lips of death And said “that’s just fine I think I’ll hang around” Sometime’s you gotta look at the fact that you’re still alive, after all that. No one ever said, that it’s fair to get a perfect life, free from pain. Because, you know what they say: Kiss me on the lips, soft and sweet. Kiss between my hips and stay with me. Don’t you ever wish someone would go as deep as your pain does? Because that kind of love is what I want to give you. Oh what I want to give you. Baby hang around. Baby stay in town, Maybe stay the night.

Petty Sin 03:40
Don’t let me down For I am lost not found But can you find me? Ignite me? You’ll lift me up And steal my love To keep you running You bitter clockwork man Push me off Let me fall Hold me close Take me whole Push me off Cut my wings Let me crash With my dreams I need something different Something sharp, something bitter Some leather to bite on Cause god knows I’m a sinner Tie my hands Climb inside Get lost in me While i get lost in your eyes Hold me down And part my lips Drain my body Of these petty sins Don’t let me down For I am lost not found But can you find me? Ignite me? Steal my heart Rip it from my ribs Crush it slowly With your every kiss Don’t let me down.

Down by the river you wash me away. And I’m leaving for a new path; I hope you find your way. But don’t call on me the sunshine of our loving days past, And don’t tell me that you wish those days had never passed. Starlight breaks all over your face, And your withered fingers can barely hold my weight. But you tell me you’ll love me forever my dear. Oh, don’t you wait: I’m here I fade into the sunset that makes your worried mess So you carry me meticulously from your broken nest. And I know that you struggle with seeing the light. Oh, just keep up your fight.

The Weaver (free) 03:26
With your toes in the sand on the beach on the beach What will be washed away what will she let you keep? Take a deep breath child and just let her weave: Mama is a keeper of our dreams. All will be well, rest your head; She is the Weaver we are the threads . All will be well, just relax, Rest your head in Mama’s lap.

Just this once, let me know before you Just this once before you go Everyone just wants to slip away into the night Look how quick they just give up without a fight I tried to warn you but you didn’t want to hear I tried to warn you babe, I made it crystal clear Of course I’d get attached to Another fucked up mess Of course I’d get attached to you And baby more is less: The less I hear about the more I need to know, Just this once before you go. Same game, same story, it’s the same thing getting boring. Hey babe, why dontcha show me why everybody leaves before they get to know me. Did I sing too loudly? Was my light too dim? Aren't you satisfied with who I am? Did I sing too loudly? Did I make you cry? Did I scare the life right back into your eyes? Did I sing too loudly? Did I represent Monster hiding underneath your bed? Baby won't you tell me, just this once What's it take to make a sad kid love? Just this once before you go?

Way Too High 05:15
I’m really high, up in the sky I’m on my own: me myself and I; Except for three soft little clouds, I don’t know why, and I don’t know how. I like to think that since I’m here It probably means I’m above my fears; And since the rain falls down below me I think my pain can't get me here. I’m way too high up in the sky. I hold my breath and shut my eyes. I’m losing touch; I need your love; Or better yet, just cut me off. I’m so cold and the winds like a 100 miles per hour And I can't believe just last week I bought you flowers I’m way too high up in the sky; I’m all alone; I want to die. I’m way too high. I’m way too high (o-h wo-ah) Fuck you for taking my life, I gave you no right; who gave the right? Fuck you for taking my mind, I thought that I’d lost it, but I guess now I find You just took it, right out of my life; like yourself. Fuck you fuck you for taking my mind and my peace and my will to not die Fuck you fuck you right out of my life and I want you to die Fuck you fuck you i hope that’s alright Fuck you for telling me lies fuck you it’s really not right to say That you love someone if you just want to hurt them, you just wanted to hurt me didn’t you That kinda fucked up. Fuck you fuck you for taking my mind and my will to survive I hope you die Fuck you fuck you I that's alright I’m way too high up in the sky You put me here and now I want to die I’ll hold my breath and close my eyes It doesn’t help: the fears already inside I’m way too high I’m way too high Fuck you for taking my life I’m way too high

I'm Not Well 04:35
Maybe it was the lack of air in my lungs Maybe it was you or the cat with tongue Either way I'm not well, I'm not well. I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well Take me down to the river Hold me underneath Take me down to the river Hold me down so I can't breathe Maybe it was the movies, maybe it was the smokes Maybe I did this all on my own I don't know but I'm not well, I'm not well I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well Put my body in the sun Watch it strip me to my bones Put my body in the sun Make me clean, make me pure, make me whole Cause I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well I'm a runaway, I'm a loser babe I think should just give up I'm a runaway, I'm gonna stay this way Eternally fucked up I'm a runaway, I'm a loser babe I think should just give up I'm a runaway, I'm gonna stay this way Eternally fucked up Maybe it was the city, maybe I needed fresh air Or maybe the issues have always been there I don't care I'm not well, I'm not well No I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well Take me up to the mountain Hold my hand by the cliff Maybe we'll go down together Or maybe I'll just drift Cause I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well

One Step 04:28
Bless your soul, you meant no harm. What’re you doing out in the dark, it’s cold? Little girl let yourself out Get as far from this crowd as you can. One step, then the next: it’s all we can do to keep our heads. One step, then the next: we’ll get there someday; it’s just the right then the left. Angel face, big brown eyes, The prettiest people tell the ugliest lies, I swear. Lace up your boots, open your eyes, Watch your step and shoot the bad guys...on film. One step, then the next: it’s all we can do to keep our heads. One step, then the next: we’ll get there someday; it’s just the right then the left. One step, then the next: it’s all we can do to keep our heads. One step, then the next: we’ll get there someday; it’s just the right then the left.

Fools 03:14
There is blood under my nails, Seems this fight for Heaven's staged in Hell. But you fools, Look what we've been given! Oh, you fools, Don't leave it all behind! To many sleepless nights Have left bruises on my eyes, But I'm no fool: I still see what I've been missin' Well, I'm no fool, But I'm slipping past the line. We'll pick it up where we left off; We can't give up cause we've been thrown off. You've got it in you like we all do. Oh you fool, Don't you see what you've been given? There may be poison on our tongues And dust is filling up our lungs, But we're not fools: We will take what we've been given. But we're not fools, We will take what we were born with. We were born for this.

Mid December 03:30
Mid December; quiet weather; Your body pressed up against mine. Frost is creepin, and my hand keeps reachin Out for yours, every time. I’m falling, won’t you hold me down, How else is true love supposed to be found? I’m falling, I’ve hit the ground; My heart is beating obscenely loud. Sky is empty; lights are dim; It’s so holy to have sinned I love you dearly, I love you whole I love you sweetheart, let’s just go home. I’m falling, won’t you hold me down, It’s so damn empty: just me and this cold house. I’m falling, I’ve hit the ground; All I want is to be found, to be found. Boy don’t you know, I’m nothing without you. You’re the string and I’m the flighty balloon. Boy you know you’re the one who makes me smile The way you light me up makes this shit worthwhile. Boy don’t you know, I’m nothing without you. You’re the string and I’m the flighty balloon.

Letting go of this last morning glow, While your childlike voices try to wake you from this mess. Darling, darling, I just wanted you to see That I feel the same pain; And just when you say I feel, I feel the same way. I always wanted You to see me In a new light, and maybe tonight As I hold you tight you will find: It takes more than one to fight, And one to find the path out of this forest you’ve been trapped in. And I want You to be, To be free, To call out. Let’s just scream loud, Let’s just let it be heard That we are not allowed And we are hurt, we are hurt And we fall, and we will burn But in eachother's arms Eachother’s hearts, in eachother’s hearts. As we crumble to the ground Let it be found That this earth Has birthed The best around. And all it knows Is to break and fall And to burn. And then like the earth has always been Some broken kind of heaven. And it kills to stay alive, But burns to keep our fires going; It spews all of it’s knowin words to keep you alive, To keep us from the fire. It has sheltered you But you never knew And it heard you call your name, And burned to see your flame Fear not the passing days Don't be afraid to change

Strays 05:12
Days are getting colder It's Friday afternoon I lay my head upon your shoulder I best be going soon Autumn, and cafés and clichés I want to love you But your heart is papier mâché It's papier mâché You walk me down the avenue and call me Pretty Thing You watch me and you learn as you listen to me sing You watch me as I'm dancing, dancing away from you Watch me as I'm dancing and tearing your heart in two You'll be my stray cat and I'll be your baby doll 'til I grow tired and throw you out into the cold You'll be my stray cat and I'll be your baby doll Oh I, till I throw you into the cold Autumn, and cafés and clichés I want to love you, Yeah I want to touch you But my fingers are razor blades, They're razor blades. You'll watch me dancing, Dancing away from you Watch me as I'm dancing And tearing your heart in two You'll be my stray cat and I'll be your baby doll 'til I grow tired and throw you out into the cold And I want to catch you but I'd only worsen the fall //People are crashing and hungry. Its dark and we all want love so we fumble around looking for the light switch. I don't want to hurt you like this. I just want to feel something. We are destined to end badly (puzzle pieces that don't fit) but the shape of being held will stave off the loneliness for now// Days are getting colder. It's Friday afternoon. I take my head off of your shoulder; I best be going soon.

released August 5, 2017

I could write about how unique my sound is. I could write about how the highlight of my music is my lyrics. I could write about how much writing music means to me. I could...or you could go listen to it and see what it is for you. Beauty is in the eye (ear?) of the beholder, right? Instead, I'm going to use this space to thank all of the people who made this a reality.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this album happen. It really does take a village. Specific thanks to:

Connor Devlin for…wow. I mean, just about everything. Energetically this album is just as much yours as it is mine. Thank you for being patient with me and my emotional roller coasters. Thank you for producing this hot mess and also doing at least 84% of the instrumentation on this bad boy. Thank you for being genuine and kind. Always. Seriously, thank you so much, love, I couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you.

Nora, my love, for—ok well honestly you distracted me a lot of the time which probably annoyed the shit out of Connor—but other than that, thank you for being so supportive; while recording and just in general. Thank you for bringing me tea when my anxiety was too bad and I couldn’t sing. Thank you for holding me and encouraging me and telling me I was doing wonderfully. Thank you for being cute and reminding me to brush my teeth and also for writing that solo I didn’t use. Sorry about that… I love you with all my heart!

Koleah for, well thank you for being my friend, but as far as this album is concerned, thank you for being patient while I did a poor job of communicating my fantastical visions and for turning them into artfully orchestrated cello pieces. Thank you, Bee! I love you!

Stav for leaving us and going to Ecuador. Umm yeah? What was that about? But in all seriousness thank you for singing like the angel you are on Petty Sin. You rock. I love you. Come home soon <3

Ihsan for coming in and interrupting all the time. Yeah, thanks. Also for being ridiculously cute and learning all my songs. I love you.

Cole. Thank you for letting me steal your daughter and live in your house and eat your bagels and clunk on your piano. You are truly an angel; thank you for being endlessly loving. Thank you so much <3

My mom for making me promise to not give up and convincing me I had it in me. Also for being my mom, you know, cause there's that. I hope you love it, Momma!

My dad for being understanding and caring, for always trying to fix things, and for letting me focus on myself and my passions. I love you <3

The lovelies (both on Instagram and irl) who had my back and kept encouraging me when I needed. I’m not sure if you know just how much all that love you gave me meant.

And finally, myself. Thank you for doing this, Mo. Thank you for doing it even when you hated it. Thank you for not just giving up. Thank you for doing your best. Look! It was good enough <3
