open up
here we are now open up
pour your heart into a never ending glass of...
here we are now open up
and with that comes an
impulse in and impulse out
into a cloud of empty space
when idle hands reach out
you're alone
would you say that's a broad stroke?
what'd you say at all?
turn to me
open up and turn to me
you're caught between a luxury and addiction
hurry up and turn to me
you can't ever keep up with your
impulses to impulse out
a crowded empty space
when idle hands are reaching out
you're alone
i swear there's so much that's glamorized in the
attention seeking from all phantom eyes
how long can we go before we all realize?
would you say that's a broad stroke?
what'd you say even at all?
impulse ins and impulse outs
a cloud of empty space
when idle hands reach out
there's nothing to hang onto when you're just a file
impulse ins and impulse outs
there's nothing to hang on to when your life's a file online
when idle hands reach out
you're alone

If Only You Knew

she's like a poem
by a writer unknown
left under a bed of clothes
where no one cares to look down for her mind
her only wish to pass time
and to be the wind
i know
it's alright
you're not alone
i've heard the wind before
silent no more
if only you knew
she howls around
defined with her own sound
but no one ever notices
cause no one ever took out the time
to feel the wind pass them by
i know
hold tight
you're not alone
i've heard the wind before
silent no more
if only you knew
we're silent no more
(to feel the wind pass them by)
(remember how the wind can hold you high)
(never let the ground be your guideline)
if only you knew

about
Our ability to connect and react quickly has made our recent evolution feel like a spiraling de-evolution. It's universally felt across classes, ages and generations. It is no surprise what factors are driving this. This EP explores this feeling from two entirely different perspectives.
“Broad Strokes” is the top-down approach calling out the so-obvious problem…Pick your head up. Get off your phone. Have some real social interaction and maybe you wouldn’t feel so isolated. Your life is more than a digital footprint. Be more than a file on a server.
“If You Only Knew” is the bottoms-up reality that the top-down message can be more destructive than constructive. This ‘new reality’ has been all that some have known. Isolation is a byproduct of more than a device. Can’t you see that this isolation is a call for help?
So now the real question…How do we start being the solution?
