Listless just like he was The worst of us is contagious You wax me like bandaids Blood stealing No healing I done did I done did Oh, done did Oh, this kid Oh this kid Oh this kid Oh, *this* kid Happy easter, where's my speaker? Done did, done did, done-oh, this kid Happy easter, where's my speaker? Done did, done did, done-oh, this kid In pursuit of loyalty In cahoots with royalty His convincing tendencies Convinced he's tending it, oh But he did! But he did! But he did! But he did! But he did! But he did! Done mended Done mended Done mended, done! You horseflies Sell big knives So idly, when pigs fly You horseflies Sell big knives So idly, I'll bu-

Jailbird 03:46
I'm hard to find, I'm such a nine I'm in the middle of my five I'm coming down with something else I'm underground, I'm seeing stars Nobody else can see me now And now's the time to dig it up I fall, further than I fall, further than you want me to You run, faster than You run, faster than I want you to I tried, tried to run and then I fell down I tried, tried to run and then I fell down (Down, fell down) Fell so far down, so far down Why should I wait, or trust in fate? So far that hasn't worked out great Oh look at me, I'm stupid wrong I fall (You run) further than I fall (You run) further than you want me to You run (I fall) faster than You run (I fall) faster than I want you to You run (Even if you think I don't know) You run (I don't think she knows that I know) I know

Knees/Things 07:11
I wrote you out To put you through Await the new But they don't want me to I was ready for them But not for you The broken door Open no more Trauma tells the truth You can't escape your youth So I sit on my knees And I'm thinking of these things Pay the preliminary guidance fee So you can hear what you cannot see The preliminary guidance fee Cause we aren't where our bodies be (You said she, you said) Thanks for reminding me You're so funny You must compensate by being funny You're so friendly You must compensate for being lonely You're so outgoing You must compensate for being lonely You just can't be happy Work me through this difficult time And I will cherish this rhyme Follow me with your sign Here I sit and I think of these things Here I sit and I think of these things I wrote you out To put you through Await the new But they don't want me to But they don't want me to I was ready for them But not for you I don't blame you for finding me, But thank you for reminding me Really

Intemp 03:05
Baby likes to hide under the bed Nobody said it was wrong, But she cries for the song She knows what she wants But I don't have a way to communicate What she feels, I don't welcome it I can't separate Separate Go ahead, you will wait I can't separate Inhabit intuition Exhibit concentration Artistic fascination Intuition Inhabit intuition Exhibit concentration Artistic fascination Intuition Baby likes to sleep when she's with me maybe she's learning too quickly, but naturally Reminds me of Lilly, She wanted to run but She'd compensate What she feels, I don't welcome it I can't separate Separate Go ahead, you will try I can't separate Inhabit intuition Exhibit concentration Artistic fascination Intuition Inhabit intuition Exhibit fascination Empathic concentration Intuition

Gratitude 02:27
I send you gratitude And love and affection My careful intentions I'll leave the confession for today Poor soul, you took the bait But long as you're eating And soon manifesting Your order is on its merry way Yew wooden bee minion buttress shelf Minion buttress shelf Yew wooden bee minion buttress shelf Minion buttress shelf I send you gratitude And love and affection My careful intentions I'll leave the confession for today Miss me, totality, Twin at the doorway Who don't feel the same way Irrational foggy dew is here to say But not today

Soul Song 02:11
Soul on life: "Maybe you could give me a try" Cause I don't, I don't (Where's my sign) I'm gonna need the clearest sign Is he here right now? Safe to assume (Oh, I guess not) He's not in this room (Oh, I guess not) Yeah, I thought so Soul on life Maybe you could give me a try (Soul on life) Are you out there somewhere? Are you out there somewhere? Are you out there (Oh I guess so) Gotta be out there somewhere (Oh I guess so) Yeah, I think so You figured I was the kind to make up a lie So honest am I So honest am I (That might be better)

You had me, Kentucky You had me at Rain Dogs You had me You had me Oh but were you with me Or were you just thinking? Were you even thinking? Just thinking. She doesn't care She just waits over there, no She doesn't care She just waits over there Keep up the finders' Insulting reminders Suffer to see Everything in-between Keep up the finders' Insulting reminders She doesn't care She just waits over there I don't do that anymore

about

It feels right to release this album, an album that I can confidently call an album, on my birthday, the moment I finish exporting the final masters.

Following the release of Andrew's Demo Tape, I entered a state of helpless hibernation from music-making, seeing that a lot in my life required my attention first. I didn't stop writing down ideas and contemplating future collaborators, though inevitable impatience led to this therapeutic final product.

'With Spirit' is about as introspective as I have been, but with a bit more care put toward areas I felt I neglected before. I will refrain from commenting on the meaning of these songs or their quality compared to my previous effort, seeing that the artist's opinion of their own music can sometimes be baffling from the perspective of their fans. I like to think this music reflects my personality, mistakes and all.

I will say that I am proud of what I have done here, and this will serve as the standard to keep up with as I continue to challenge myself in my musical career.

2023 Addendum: This album is best heard with headphones, as it was hectically and exclusively mixed with headphones. It can be enjoyed in other forms, but I feel the former best embodies my intentions. Thanks all.
