Drifting thru the void of an ordinary life I got too much on my plate and too small a knife I'll cut corners if it gets me somewhere One thing I won't cut is this overgrown hair I'll let it rot from my skull in the grave I tried to save someone, there was noone to save This string is reaching from you to me Invisible connections that we can't see String Theory.....is here String Theory.....is in the air String Theory.....it's coming soon String Theory.....is in this room Time is relative, that's what Einstein said He signed off on the bomb, now he's gone, now he's dead He couldn't take all that uncertainty And his spooky action's a little too weird for me Many worlds, many lifes we can live And all of them possible, but all of them hid That's just a theory I choose to believe I'd prove it to ya but I gotta leave String Theory.....is here String Theory.....is in my hair String Theory.....it's hard to prove String Theory.....is in this room

She's lying on those hardwood floors And while she sleeps, I dream of more She won't listen, she won' come in She won't come out, it's going down And I forget how I should feel And I don't know just what is real When I see you, I don't know how I should feel anymore I can't take this heartbreak This heartbreak is going away I look at you across this room Your eyes entomb and look right thru The subtle things I try and say Will have to wait another day And I forget what I should do I am so scared of losing you When I see you, I pretend And dream of being more than friends I can't take dreams that don't come true Or any ones involving you She's making conversation now With every word, I wonder how I can find a way to make her see These things that make me so unique And I forget what I was going to say Probably something useless anyway When I see you, I wan't to share And find a new way to make you care I guess I'm asking for a lot But what do you expect when I ain't got nothin' Nothing

Ninja Stars 04:20
There's ninja stars on these floors And a stale taste in the room And what you thought was real was just a shadow A reflection you consumed But these eyes are opened Those eyes are closed This sky is hoping that river still flows Are you aware or just not there Drowning as this night spins away The looks I got felt like hollow shots And there was nothing more I could say But these eyes are opened Those eyes are closed This sky is hoping that river still flows Melt into me, make me feel like living This formula ain't working anymore What I've seen is faded, it is gone and is out-dated But I can't take another walk to that shore 'Cause these eyes are opened Those eyes are closed This sky is hoping that river still flows Yeah, these eyes are opened Those eyes are closed This sky is hoping, hoping that river still flows

Back Here 02:02
I think about how I can change About how I'll re-arrange things I'll think it all out Make a good move Stay with the crowd, leave when I lose I could go round and round But I'll always end up back here Science tells us that there is more To life than what's at the corner store, so I'll be the first man To live on Mars Where the cars will be the shooting stars Even if I disappeared I'd still end up back here

It was night I was lying on the ground It was cold, wet with dew I looked up at the sky I saw the stars And their light saw me too Then she came to me, wearing nothing And lied her body on top of mine Obstructing my view of the sky Her skin was cold and wet on mine And soaked into my clothes And she soaked into my soul And we were intertwined For a time I looked into her eyes Then looked up at the sky I saw the constellation on her cheek And its real-life counterpart, looming above We held each other tight And loved Then I awoke

My M.I.N.D. 04:47
The way my mind works, it ain't like yours I dwell on things too much Before I walk through an open door I'd check to make sure it's shut The way I'm seeing the world today It's cold and warm and new And I'd walk these strees in this winter deep To find my way to you Where I'd wax & wane on this timeless pain That life seems to put me through Would you listen or would you complain Or would you think I'm a fool? Your brain works in mysterious ways All this pain & hurt will be back again in spades You can't see what I'm trying to say to you So I'll hide it in these words Do you want a clue? The way I feel when I wake up Doesn't last for too long Those Delta Waves I can't get enough of Are always too soon gone The things I see inside my head There is dark and there is light Broken images from a lonely bed Keeping me up thru the night Your brain works in mysterious ways All this pain & hurt will be back again in spades You can't see what I'm trying to say to you So I'll hide it in these words Do you want a clue? INSTRUMENTAL

They're coming in from everywhere They're getting all into my hair They're coming in from everywhere Getting all into my hair Bloodsucking fucks, won't you go away I didn't want to see you today Bloodsucking fucks, can't you take a hint Bloodsucking fucks, you're the bane of my existance Bloodsucking fucks, I've known ya too long Bloodsucking fucks, you've all gone wrong Bloodsucking fucks, please go away Bloodsucking fucks, there's not one thing I wanna say to you Leave me be...leave me be Set me free Try and give me some space in my head If you know what it's like to be dead You'd understand this pain But you wouldn't suck it up Even though you're bloodsucking fucks Even though you're bloodsucking fucks Leave me be

On a porch, there's a man Who doesn't want to understand The way that life works, or how it hurts There's a feeling in your mind Makes you lose all track of time Stay out late, get shitfaced, think about what life you can waste INSTRUMENTAL This is a farewell A closing of the book I can't read you anymore, now I can't even look This is an epiphany, albeit a little fucked But this is real, this is you And this is me giving up INSTRUMENTAL On a hill, there's a tree Overlooking you and me These buds will blood, even in this gloom There's a change in the air Making me not want to care I think I'll listen to it, before I lose it INSTRUMENTAL This is a farewell A closing of the book I can't read you anymore, now I can't even look This is an epiphany, albeit a little fucked But this is real, this is you And this is me giving up INSTRUMENTAL On a sky, there's a cloud Makes you wanna scream out loud I wish that you could see, but that's the diffrence 'tween you and me There's and ending for all things And a crown for all Kings Not the one I wanna wear, but like I said, 'I don't care' INSTRUMENTAL This is a farewell A closing of the book I can't read you anymore, now I can't even look This is an epiphany, albeit a little fucked But this is real, this is you This is me giving up Giving up Giving up INSTRUMENTAL

about

Written and recorded over a 6-month period of drastic life changes, Letting Go is an EP of 8 brand-new, out-there, doped-up, alt-folk, sci-rock tunes ready for mass consumption. It is a record of goodbyes.."a closing of the book", as "This Is Me Giving Up" clearly states. It is a record about coming full-circle, accepting what is real and what you can change and what you have to Let Go.
