Saved by a setting sun a settling gun smoke dissipates like a story spun all wrong remember when we were together the damage not yet done we drove not knowing where to go and found that frozen waterfall im talking about a thin beyond a doubt that happened i wont forget it ill admit at the end i was starting to love then you told me he was still a little in your heart a boy you had known for so much more im realizing it while i write this song but the sun is in my eyes it distracts me from a gun that's firing i wont regret it

I lose all of my bearings in the middle, of the bed a sea, of sheets sweat on the clothes, I am wearing There was a strange dream slipping out my head watch it slither, under the table now it's time, to forget, about Cells flowing, under the skin the smile and the promise, to be friends, about dry thoughts, blue screens a desert meeting ocean, nothing in between, so, I lay on the edge let the waves wash over me until my skin starts to wrinkle and salt gets in my head My thoughts turn to bitter when I think, of what you said about inviting me over just stop trying, to pretend, that We're a family, in this big world be yourself, keep on looking inward I keep trusting unable to remember slick people sick thoughts behind their temples so Kneel on the tiled floor put, your hands, together pray for the turn, of the earth a bed blanketed with leather, to Keep you, from slipping out your mind, onto the pavement keep the sail, tied in cross the sea, come home again

Reservoir 02:31
I think I’m not A negative Double down On a positive Feeling like I Took an antibiotic Healing, Eye A thought a little nearsighted I think I am A leaky dam My reservoir of blood Is filled to the brim Flooding Tornadoes and varicose veins Drying Droughts wildfires and brittle brains

Trisagion 04:20
Staring out into the sun i pull my cap down from the safety of a brim swimming in my eyes seraphim they cry out hold me three times in the form of three phone chimes this feeling is god this feeling is strong this feeling is immortal have mercy the grass up here has split ends it needs to get cut wrapped around its simple bliss i give it a tug they cry out hold me three times in the form of winged pantomimes

we met in the little part of town sat in the back of a little run down shop and talked later i was saying what happened had stayed that same but something had changed i could see it out of the corner of my eye a dark green shirt and black hole eyes, my cheeks got bruised by deep long lines words coming out loose a quivering sigh i won't say goodbye again so thank you for giving in to one-time looking interested at what you saw when i was opening i just want to follow you around the house will you listen to the sound of this song made in our home you ask me to turn it down touched dial fake smile hunched over break the cycle get space make waste speak truth many ways take him call home full brim spill some don't stop keep it up

This son's coming down with something he hit the ground running a fever of a hundred-and- one, he starts sweating and two he starts thinking in circles, three hundred and sixty days he's okay but now, it's darker the degrees are lower he starts forgetting he wanted to get older and see, a year of sunsets, fading without the shaking without the orange veins this son's coming down with something fake the prayer at the meeting I'll stay with Fenn while he, is whining he just sits there staring at your brain it's blazing he's the last living being inside, your burning room of irritation your friends, are afraid of entering what's left of your heart that's fighting we know your somewhere out there inviting four missing numbers of your life to come inside this son's coming down with something like Jodi sang do your remember when David stayed you couldn't get it together do you remember the first, time we sang I didn't want to surrender do you remember the next time, I change will I remember this son's coming down with something

about

Missing A Thing was written from 2017 to 2020.

Three of the songs on this album are to process losing people, and people pushing me away.

Two of the songs are inner reflections of who I am growing to be, and are the inspiration for the album title, Missing A Thing.

Two of the songs are written by Anna Brown, our themes that intersect are loss, reflection, and expectations for the future.

One of the songs is about how meaningful life can feel.
