I promise you That I won't leave you again. And that I will listen to the song you sent me. While getting high, so high, alone. If I am sitting next to you, on the bench outside of your apartment building getting high, so high, I wanna die. And when I find him, I'm gonna kill him! I'm gonna sneak up behind him, and stab him in the back! and when he turns around he'll see me smilin' I can't seem to find my brain, I'm loosing my mind. But I know that, I'm gonna kill you. I'm gonna enjoy feeling your blood in my hands, and when I feel the warmth of it I'll cry. I can't wait to meet him.

I feel like I'll live forever, I just can't seem to see, my own death and everything that's gonna die around me. How? I'm gonna live forever, while everything around me dies, I'll be enjoying the pleasures of living the longest life.

I take back what I said, although I meant it when I said it. God I feel so terrible. Didn't mean to lead you on like this. I figured I'd be playing the long-con now if I didn't decide to recognize. My fading interest in the situation. I promise that I used to love you too. Now I feel like the bad guy, but I was just unsure. But I know I'm not the bad guy now. I know enjoyed all those starry car rides in the dark. But that is so far past us now. I promise that I used to love you too. I take back what I said, although I meant it when I said it. God I feel so terrible. I don't even know why I wrote this down...

My clothes don't fit me yet. But I'll grow into them, when I'm older I'll see, A new perspective. My shoes don't fit me yet. But I'll grow into them, when I'm older We'll talk, about the things you did to me. When I'm grown, I will see. But for now, the worlds so pretty.

I am wondering about the kids and growing up. They're gonna have to see how awful things can be, to notice that, everything's so beautiful.

about

Everything created by Michael Matsakis

A lot of the time I get so caught up in what I think is important, but to see someone else who's cares differ so much from yours makes you see the world in a different way. In a way, I admire them, but I also feel sorry for them to know that, someday, they will not be able to think the way they think. Someday, they will have to come to terms with horrible things like death and emotional pain. But what I also believe is that seeing these horrible things will hopefully give more weight to the beautiful impossibility of life. Songs like Growing up makes the World Beautiful reflect this idea and has served as a therapeutic remedy for my fear.

I love everyone who inspired me to make this EP. Thank you Owen, Jake, Ethan, Rebekkah, Joe Hisaishi, and my cousins Bea, Joe, Matthew, William, and Greta.
