The flowers you gave me are rotting and still I refuse to throw them, away.

Even if the song meant a lot to me, I would still probably perform it live.

Myself Performance Song
I’m pretty excited for people to listen to the story of each song. It’s definitely like a giant book with different stories in it. They are all very child-like but also a balance between light and dark.

I’m not used to writing about happy emotions, I’m just used to pulling from my sad or angry – happy emotions are very hard for me to portray in music.
