about

This is The Flood, the only track on this EP not inspired by the California drought. It's also about obsession, bass drops, and Theodore the track-running (or maybe walking) dino.

lyrics

You are sexy
my skin is torn
you say you love me
I feel the blood drip on my shirt
you are dancing
i have a nightmare in my hands
you are wild
i put my hands against my chest

there are three simple letters
just like three simple words
you write me love letters
i obsess and i reverse
all the progress that i've made
hope i finally get it down
and understand that who i am
can't be ignored when the lights flood the town

listen baby
my OCD
isn't spoken about much
but it's still sewn into the seams
that i am tearing out
in between
when i slip out of the bedroom
and when i come back there to sleep

because I find a vacant mirror
and I tear apart my body
you would think i was possessed love
if you came downstairs and saw me
I wake up a bit before dawn
I can't sleep and I can't stall
I can't understand that who I am
can't be controlled when the flood hits the wall

there's no light
in this hallway
but your hands
feel my scars
like they can't take any more skin
so they find other ways to carve
oh all the progress that I made
hope i'll finally get it down
and understand that
who I am
can't be ignored
when the lights
flood the town
