WHY AM I BLEEDING, DOES THIS WOUND HURT?
During 2022’s bitter ides of November, I found myself with a frat-flu-raspy voice, a soon-to-expire-but-nonetheless-free trial of Ableton, and a quaint dorm studio that would soon guide me down a path I’d barely even let myself dream of. Five semesters, two majors, and one dastardly economics class later, this EP will finally be yours.
“Living Ghost” is a story of stagnancy, of inaction, of emptiness—ironically written during a period of my life with the most change. Thank you for all the patience and support as I’ve worked to give you the best version of this story I can offer. So excited to let these hauntings begin. LIVING GHOST comes out 1/31/25!
… as my fever leeches from body to dirt. 🪱🌸🦴

FOREVER TETHERED TO YOUR LIFE, BUT CURSED TO ONLY WATCH.
“Preybirds (Watcher Song)” is out now! I’m so excited to share this one with everyone!
Fun fact: this is currently the song with the longest production time, that being 3 years!! I started writing it before college when I didn’t quite have the skills to bring it to fruition… and finally, it’s here! This is one of the last songs recorded in my humble dorm room, mixed and mastered by the fantastic Zhengxi Zhang so that you wouldn’t have to wait another 3 years for me to battle my rusty mixing/mastering skills against brutal perfectionism. All the love !!
As a little testament to the time spent, here are some past lyrics that got dropped for story’s sake. The story went through so many changes, but its spooky, angsty heart remained the same! Originally, it was from the perspective of someone being watched, rather than being the Watcher… Here’s the relic to that:
So when the light hits dawn hop to haunch and get gone
Before his scorpions sting your heart
Before his sand sifts hot, before his wings begin to rot before he carrions and rips you apart
He watches, eyes in the sun, through the holes in the sky
Looking sharp for a flaw he can claw you by
Eye in the sun, just like he sung, “I am the sun “
More alternative lyrics:
Is this how it’ll be ‘till bitter end?
Watching her lifeline uncurl where the roots of mine lay dead?
Reborn to drag these wretched blackbird wings
And a thousand hungry eyes on this soon-to-be dead meat?
For the belt at the end:
I am the sun
Darkness, cascade over me
Oh, Universe take my hand and blanket me
