kucenty This should get popular. Such a poetic and emotional charge but without being unnecessarily challenging. Favorite track: Counting Cars.

Phaseout 03:42
How does it feel to be alone? There’s that look in your eyes like nobody’s home Oh if you still love me let’s make it happen I want you to hold me like it’s the last one Oh maybe we can be taking ten strips And see like aliens in spaceships Oh to be honest You were the only drug I wanted to be on with I’m just a boy with nothing to do Lying plucking strings figuring out what sounds like you Oh if you still want me let’s make it happen I want you to kiss me like it’s the last one Oh maybe we can be taking ten strips And see like aliens in spaceships Oh to be honest You were the only drug I wanted to be on with Oh we’ve both had enough Oh I guess I’m not good enough Oh to be honest We both have plenty to get on with

These wasted arms Have nothing left to do Because somebody already loves you And this dying voice Breaks cause yours is too busy Talking to him Begging with him Saying don’t leave me But he will But he will He always will You turn to me But I’ll be gone Best to waste away Quickly waste away Before somebody cares Before you care These half-life legs Start to turn to dust Because yours have disappeared into the dusk Oh what am I to do When I can’t ever love you When you’re with her Always with her Now and forever But in the end In the end It’ll always end You turn to me But I’ll be gone Best to waste away Quickly waste away Before somebody cares Before you care Best to disappear Quickly disappear Just like they did to me Just like you did to me

When life turns you around Just try to slow down And think of me When your heart feels unsure And you fall to the floor Don't think what it could have been I don't love you anymore So get up off of your bed And open up the door Repeat these words in your head Today will be okay Today will be okay If the shadow starts to bleed And you feel like a rock in the sea Don't hear what they say Or you'll be on your knees Writing someone save me please Or take me away What are you crying for One day we'll all end up dead So go looking for more And sing the words your father said Today will be okay Today will be okay Today will be okay Wipe your tears and go play Today will be okay Sometimes, I wonder where you are If you're thinking of me and holding your heart Or if you're busy, on that bridge, counting cars

Deserter 02:01
What is this place? Where is the light? I feel like nothing is right I'm losing all space I'm losing all time I call out where is my mind? Ghosts answer in reality Watching cars pass by the apple tree You met someone new While I had no clue Now we really are through And you don't wanna see my face around You'd rather put yourself in the ground Why couldn't you say that in the first place? Why couldn't you say that to my face? Why?

Ego Death 04:44
Life blooms from the Earth Live our time then die in dirt All emotions circling You wear that smile like a second skin Don't you Oh they don't even like you baby Home is so far and you feel so wavy Lie on your side and quiet that voice in your head And just exist instead You don't know how to feel Surely none of this is real It's gone bad now feeling stress You believe it's all meaningless Don't you Oh they don't even like you baby Home is so far and you feel so wavy Lie on your side and quiet that voice in your head And just exist instead You're alive And whole Until you're one with the Earth The whole universe Let yourself go In the air and water

There you are the end is here Open wide and show no fear Are you feeling it my love Are you feeling it Let the reaper take you home Memory of one once known Are you feeling it my love Are you feeling it Time's up Goodbye and good luck We'll see you on the flip side You've loved and lost so many Regrets on your heart so heavy Are you feeling it my love Are you feeling it Hands cold fingers gripping Try cling on but you're slipping Are you feeling it my love Are you feeling it Deep breath Your dreams will be endless We'll see you on the flip side my friend This life may not be the true end Yes it is No it's not Heart begins to slow down It's truly time to go now Are you feeling it my love Are you feeling it old friend Are you feeling it my love Are you feeling it Oh we can hope Oh we can have faith Oh we can pray A higher power takes you

Your Ghost 05:25
One drunken night I told a friend It’s better to kill someone than yourself It’s better to feel the world with no eyes Than it is not to feel the world at all Oh if only They had listened They wouldn’t be running Chasing their ghost Oh but you There was nothing We could do For your ghost Without a body You floated away But that doesn’t matter now Now that all is said and done As they lower your body In a wooden box into the ground Oh if only You had listened I wouldn’t be running Chasing your ghost Oh but you There was nothing We could do For your ghost Without a body You floated away Without you We are nothing Without you We are gone

Peach Dream 05:33
When I saw you For the first time I was scared Of what you could do to me Or if you even cared But you showed me something Of which I was not prepared You showed me love For the first time in forever once again You left me hanging Passing through the ceiling, my feet still But my body was aching to tell you That You are the most beautiful thing I've ever ever laid my eyes upon Oh you are the most beautiful thing I've ever ever laid my eyes upon Oh yeah You used to sneak up on me Fairy steps light like a moonbeam And we were gonna live on a hill in a house painted in peach dream You didn't know but that day You showed me something You showed me love For the first time in forever once again You left me hanging Passing through the ceiling, my feet still But my body was aching to tell you That You are the most beautiful thing I've ever ever laid my eyes upon Oh you are the most beautiful thing I've ever ever laid my eyes upon Oh yeah

about

Coping Mechanism, my first LP, out at last!

I want to thank you all for the continued support and for having the patience for waiting for me while I've been messing around for a year. It's been fun to make this thing, and I hope you have as much fun listening to it as well. It's been a long while since I put a project out, more so one that I am proud of. I am very excited to know your thoughts, please feel free to DM me or comment somewhere and let me know exactly what you think.
