1.	For The Best (Remastered) 04:11	lyrics	buy track
There was a bike I used to ride. The brakes were iffy, I often fell off. But I know, It was for the best. It was for the best. There was a girl I used to like. She made me laugh all the time. She had her doubts and I had mine, But in the end it just wasn't right. And I know, It was for the best. It was for the best. There was a truck I used to drive. But I didn't pay attention and it took a dive. I learned to fly. I learned to fly too soon. And I know, It was for the best. It was for the best. Things were nicer with my Dad alive. I used to cry all the time I used to cry too much of the time. But I know, He deserved some rest. It was for the best. It was for the best. And I'm older now So much wiser now. It was for the best It was for the best It was for the best And I know now, That it was for the best.
2.	Don't Stare At The Sun (Remastered) 03:53	lyrics	buy track
There's a light in the sky It's been blinding my eyes The daze it showed me Hinted such lovely shades of life Temptations of it Seemed so worth it in my mind There's a light in the sky There’s a light in the sky I tried collecting it's light I'm seeing spots all the time I think I damaged my sight It goes to show it's what I'm owed Looking more than twice I've earned this burden It's all been burned in as I lie There's a light in the sky There's a light in the sky I tried collecting it’s light All it’s light All it’s light I'm such a foolish one I stared at the sun, I stared at the sun. I’m just remarkable I stared at the sun, I stared at the sun. I stared at the sun Don’t stare at the sun Don’t stare at the sun There's a light in the sky I tried collecting it's light, again.
3.	Songbird (Remastered) 04:05	lyrics	buy track
Birdy you've been tripping into me. No flight when losing speed. Your dropping feathers in your seat. Vivid worry. The recollection's been drawn Reflections were wrong The affection's been gone in this tone I've been reading our elegy Gutter's spillin at the seams The songs you sing rival symphonies But I'm not stung by your beak. The direction is done Imperfections sum The affection's been gone in this tone. It's so silly, How static you cling to fate. Believing stars always spelled our names It's unlikely, That I'd ever feel the same. Now I'm pulling the plug on our cosmic drain Where's my love? Where's our love? Where's my love? I'm not feeling us today Too much wind not enough sway I feel I'm dying here My soul is crying here I'm not feeling us today Too much breath no way to say My soul is dying here No more flying there My veins pulse hard Slows down beating softer. And I still love you. I'll always love you.
4.	Newton (Remastered) 04:05	lyrics	buy track
When apples fall upon my head The forces make me laugh Reminded laws say we attract As bruises form upon my head The fruit was damaged too Ain't it funny how we're both screwed? It all makes me feel so numb It all makes me feel so numb The pull we’re feeling might be keeping us down There's just enough that we're constantly bound The pull we’re feeling might be keeping us down I keep coming around I keep coming around An essence beckons me to you And if I try to sway the course Then I'd quickly find the floor. When apples fall upon my head- I try so hard to laugh Cause if I don't I'd fold in half. It all makes me feel so numb It all makes me feel so numb The pull we’re feeling might be keeping us down There's just enough that we're constantly bound The pull we’re feeling might be keeping us down I keep coming around The pull we’re feeling might be keeping us down There's just enough that we're constantly bound The pull we’re feeling might be keeping us down I keep coming around
5.	Lucid Dreams (Remastered) 03:07	lyrics	buy track
I've been sleeping all day, Wasting everything that I said I'd save Spending loose change on lucid dreams Hoping it would change reality And I'm dreaming always Pressing clarity for senses of the unseen I'm Hugging fantasy, living in theory To break the line is to break the tie The forces mending duality Are melded far too cozily But does is mean anything? Can I free from empty? And I'm stumbling, when I'm not asleep. And I'm struggling, struggling to be This magical life is mystically confined I'm stuck mind I fell through the glass half full Drinking not so much to be positively inclined To be infinitely defined. And the crickets are chirping all night, Composing symphonies for my secret life And their melodies are making me cry, They go… And I'm stumbling when I'm not asleep And I'm struggling, struggling to be I'm stuck in my mind
6.	Roses (Remastered) 05:14	lyrics	buy track
Roses are prettier, when they're not being scraped off your shoes. And why do you have to step so hard? I don't know, I don't know. When Pollution is your safety word, I'm sorry you've that you've never heard that it's Easier in life to be nice Smiling could be new, A gift wrapped in innocence For no greater price than your pride I hope you find Roses are kind When you finally take off your shoes And What do you say? What's the point in wasted sound waves no one can feel? And what do you do when you're all alone? The only thing left alive The only thing left to sigh The only thing left to try I hope you find Roses are kind When you finally take off your shoes When you find Roses are beautiful You might finally take off your shoes I hope you find Roses are kind When you finally take off your shoes When you find Roses are beautiful You might finally take off your shoes
7.	Rubberband Man (Demo) 03:30	lyrics
Rigid bones don't wanna face it Too much stress is gonna break them Break them And you know, you gotta let some go I can feel don’t wanna face it But stubborn minds don't really stay fit. They don't And well you know… You gotta stop If you wanna go You gotta stop And just let it go Give it in with a little more dance Like a rubber band man Let it flow with a little more chance I know you can Like a rubber band man Like a rubber band man Easy joints are good to shape you If you crash it won’t erase you Cause you know, you wanna let some go. Cool lips Soft eyes Take it slow Loose hips Strong back Drop it low You know, yeah you know Give it in with a little more dance Like a rubber band man Let it flow with a little more chance Like a rubber band man Give it in with a little more dance Like a rubber band man Let it flow with a little more chance I know you can Like a rubber band man Like a rubber band man
8.	I Know (Demo) 03:00	lyrics
Tissues on the floor Ruby eyelids sore I've seen you The saddest song you know Played on the radio I've heard it too Strain you can't describe Aches that won't subside I've seen you You wan't to throw it all Make a stain on the wall Say this what I've been, I'm moving on But it's so hard to move on Lungs are filled with dust Because of your sandman lust Now it's hard to breathe But you still wanna sleep Various pills on the table A viable path to be stable But if you try your disabled I've been there You wan't to throw it all Make a stain on the wall Say this what I've been, I'm moving on But it's so hard to move on

about

"Spilt Coffee" is an organic and honest EP filled with as much of myself as I could fit. Like the circumstances of spilt coffee, it was a beautiful accident of an album. It's an embracement of imperfection. Imperfection in my singing, my writing, my experiences, in who I am, and in simply being human. Spilt coffee is a representation of being ok with not always being ok.
