Supernova 02:56
we are made of dust skin and bones we entrust the freckles on your face are constellations your eyes see all but all I see is you spin me in circles and never let go fleeting moments like this are what makes us glow your touch is electric it vibrates my soul when we're heart to heart all the galaxies start to explode they explode in a supernova they explode spin me in circles and never let go fleeting moments like this are what makes us glow your touch is electric it vibrates my soul when we're heart to heart all the galaxies start to explode they explode in a supernova they explode

Poisoned 02:43
tired eyes put the bottle down don't let it win this round coffee and cigarettes linger on your breath they're the only thing that keeps you going until there's nothing left you promised yourself to never get this way toxicity flowing through your veins you promised yourself to never get this way hold on to that cliff don't pull away an introvert so you run and hide you let a fire grow and die you dance with the demons in an everlasting war and they keep coming back for more you promised yourself to never get this way toxicity flowing through your veins you promised yourself to never get this way hold on to that cliff don't pull away

Pillow Talk 02:55
I don't wanna talk about this anymore than you the days are crawling by so slowly and there's nothing I can do I know I shouldn't take the present for granted but what's a gift if I can't share it with my best friend it's been so long since I've been in this god damned town and I've done absolutely nothing but hang around I think it's time for a change of scenery maybe I'll go somewhere no one knows me these nights are endless anymore I always end up on my floor talking to you on the phone cuz half the time I feel alone but this pillow talk is really starting to get old all I wanna do is stay right by your side I'd be fine with sitting quietly with your hand in mine but for now I'll watch our favorite show all day and discover who killed Laura Palmer anyway these nights are endless anymore I always end up on my floor talking to you on the phone cuz half the time I feel alone but this pillow talk is really starting to get old

and so it goes I'm starting brand new collecting the pieces of a broken human change can be good even if it hurts I have to keep on moving forward before things get worse but don't you worry I'm gonna be alright it's just a growing pain I have I'll make it out alive so I start to wait while pacing my room I can't help but to think that it won't be worth it under pressure oh I've had enough this is just the beginning and I'm running out of luck but don't you worry I'm gonna be alright it's just a growing pain I have I'll make it out alive x2

there's a smile painted on your face but it's only just for show late at night before you go to bed you wash it off you don't like to look in the mirror the color gray is not for you turn the page to only find it blank another clueless ending maybe you just need to let the light come and kiss your face you've become a dark shade of the night it's the reason you don't sleep funny how the world moves around you while you're sitting still there's no force of thunder or lightning that can save you now that can save you x4

Recovery 03:05
too many nights spent all alone where the walls would cave in and consume me the darkness was too loud and suffocating and waking up required motivation and there you are in the mirror the innocence was stripped away these are the things we're not ready for a shadow had entered but not through the door I'm finding solace in the floorboards the grains providing me distractions from remorse on whether I'll feel safe again I hope you know your actions have consequences they have consequences all it takes is a couple moments where everything will start to feel broken I swear I've never felt so tained as if the whole world has gone and shifted a motion picture burned into my eyes always making me relive this time I wish that I had a more forward reaction and maybe I could have done more but instead I'm finding solace in the floorboards the grains providing me distractions from remorse on whether I'll feel safe again I hope you know your actions have consequences I'm finding solace in the floorboards the grains providing me distractions from remorse but I know I'll be okay the bad guys never win anyways

Shifting 03:17
this song I write to you for when I broke your heart for a day I gave you everything I had then I took it all away the icebox in my chest was melting please know I meant well I've needed to be cautious lately when coming out of my shell you planted flowers in my lungs when I was colorblind you took my breath away when I stopped seeing in black and white and I'm still not sure how I could miss something like that I think I finally got it right I don't regret what I did that night I don't regret what I did that night x2 I gave myself to you I said it would be awhile for me to come back around numbness left like a phantom

Embers 02:33
with you I am warm x6 and you don't have to turn the light the road goes on for miles all the stars are smiling at you roll the windows down let the night inflate your lungs we don't have to stop for anyone with you I am warm x6 and we don't have to stop for anyone on the way

this one goes out to me around 2005 on a crisp autumn morning with the clearest blue skies in the church parking lot where I waited to be taken home to the small white house where I had grown in a really small town a dogwood tree in front and the daffodils danced around the rusted lamppost there was something about this time that I had tucked away to pure to be exposed but too perfect to fade to gray to the girl who was different and never sat quietly a smile perched upon her face she didn't think twice and she was warm and she was kind but always had those melancholy eyes they painted the door a navy blue and put up an ugly fence so go ahead dance in the field of pumpkins the autumn leaves will die eventually

Hibernation 04:14
spent the winter hiding away with bad habits and regrets the bittersweet realization of reaching the other end and it's been so long since I've felt myself from wanting to be someone else the demons consumed me at 3am telling me I should change my own skin my artificial happiness became a fabricated veil that lead me straight to a wall so high I thought it'd never end but now there are ghosts in the mirrors and they're not the ones I used to know and my mind's been running laps like it has somewhere more important to be but not with me how can I know what is best for me when I can't even fight for myself there is no greater sense of loneliness knowing the truth can't be helped x3

about

Growing Pains has been an album nearly 2 years in the making, recorded in the various bedrooms of the band, and mixed and mastered by our good friend and folk singer-songwriter Dante DeFelice. It is a collection of songs dealing with different topics of transitioning into adulthood, ranging from relationships, mental health, nostalgia, and more. There is a piece of myself in every song on this, and I hope you all can gain something from them. Thank you for the endless support over the past 2 years, I hope this is what you've all been waiting for.
