1.	Hemingway (Demo) 01:49	lyrics	buy track
Ernest Headstrong with thin skin and all the rest Pick your battles fighting no context Drunk as hell Kicked while you’re down Beaten, bruised, and blue Two plane crashes, then Murdered by himself The Hemingway we know Did not choose his death To burn out or to fade away It’s all the same Brother By the time our roaring twenties turns to a whimper Call it karma Call it circumstances You get what you pay for And what you don’t What is there left to say?
2.	Gardensnake (Demo) 03:59	lyrics	buy track
Searching for clarity in murky waters Rippled reflections as I falter I can’t remember what to call him If you have doubts, destroy them Garden snake Writhing in my lungs Read my lips Speaking in tongues Can’t tell if these conversations Are helping or hurting All my friends are trying To translate It’s universal Just like the lies we all tell ourselves In the mirror Every morning To feel worse Papercut heart Taken apart like broken watches Turned to scars Nowhere to start I’m staying grounded And I’m centered On my mark Garden snake Writhing in my lungs Read my lips Speaking in tongues
3.	PNW Panic Attack (Demo) 05:14	lyrics	buy track
Temperate rain forest climate(s) Panic dreaming, awake in restlessness Surrounded by living symmetry Uneven, still, in anxiety Chaos breaks At the gate Grip the knife By the blade Chaos breeds Apathy Volatile Atrophy Running out of steps to take Retracing trails I missed Deadwood embers spark to flame Without a catalyst Chaos breaks At the gate Grip the knife By the blade Chaos breeds Apathy Volatile Atrophy I want to be here but not right now
4.	Sleepwalker (Demo) 03:58	lyrics	buy track
Sleepwalking Blindfolded And turning The corners If I’m bleeding I don’t wanna know Still grasping Past choices Avoiding Reflections of Who I was just an hour ago I promise It’s subconscious If I’m honest I don’t want this Keep swimming In circles The current Might drag you down But you’ll go blind if you look at the sun I promise It’s subconscious If I’m honest I can’t give a fuck Impressions of love Lucid decisions Distorting my visions I’m squinting to see through the smoke Trying to change, only in ways For my net gain but the feeling’s the same Cuz I know that I won’t Growing afraid No one will miss me There’s only forty from twenty to sixty You breathe and it’s gone I fear missing out It’s causing self-doubt So I stay drowned Nowhere to be found
5.	Dogtooth (Sink Yr Teeth In) [Demo] 02:49	lyrics	buy track
FUCK I can't see what I can't see I can't see what's inside me 1 2 3 1 2 3 Window Breaking I can't see what I can't see I can't see what's inside me 1 2 3 1 2 3 I'm not listening Sink Yr teeth in Sink Yr teeth in Sink Yr teeth in Sink Yr teeth in DEEP
6.	PNW Panic Attack (Acoustic Demo) 05:26	lyrics	buy track
Temperate rain forest climate(s) Panic dreaming, awake in restlessness Surrounded by living symmetry Uneven, still, in anxiety Chaos breaks At the gate Grip the knife By the blade Chaos breeds Apathy Volatile Atrophy Running out of steps to take Retracing trails I missed Deadwood embers spark to flame Without a catalyst Chaos breaks At the gate Grip the knife By the blade Chaos breeds Apathy Volatile Atrophy I want to be here but not right now
