Open up to me tell me all you need me to change Tell me why I failed to be the person you needed Look at us falling to me sobbing in your arms How did we transcend to a place without each other’s love Chocolate and roses won’t save us now Swimming through thorns is our only vow Chocolate and roses won’t save us now Swimming through thorns is our only vow Why did I treat you so bad it made you wanna quit Oh you had no way out of it in an endless loop Chocolate and roses won’t save us now Swimming through thorns is our only vow Chocolate and roses won’t save us now Swimming through thorns is our only vow Chocolate and roses won’t save us now Swimming through thorns is our only vow Chocolate and roses won’t save us now Swimming through thorns Swimming through thorns Swimming through thorns is our only vow

Masks 03:22
And so the time passes by Throughout my days oh so dry I wear this thick mask Of false positivity And it’ll feel too long to fake being stress free And now my days walk on by Crawl at the speed of a snail I realized Late one friday night That it’ll feel too long to fake this happiness. Cuz now I see Why I can’t be what I want Cuz I wear a mask To hide all my flaws And it’s hard for me To admit I was wrong Cuz I’m here Doing all this shit I don’t care about That it’ll feel too long to fake being stress free That it’ll feel too long to fake this happiness That it’ll feel too long to fake being stress free

Mystery 03:56
I need you in my life tonight But I can’t seem to figure you out And you know that I don’t know a thing About what’s going on inside your head It was the way you talked On that first date oh it was the way you walked Right next to me But now we’re so confused Beaten up and tattered oh we’re so so bruised Oh what do we do What happened to pull these strings apart Why is it we haven’t talked in sooo long I know you realize some things about me That I wish nobody would know It was way you talked On that first date oh it was the way you walked Right next to me But now we’re so confused Beaten up and tattered oh we’re singin the blues Oh what do we do The cards are on the table now Why don’t you go ahead and flip one over And see if my face is there if not Why don’t you think this over for awhile It was the way you talked On that first date oh it was the way you walked Right next to me But now we’re so confused Beaten up and tattered oh we’re so so bruised Oh what do we do

Lies 04:45
I hope you’ll dig yourself out Of this hole you’ve dug for yourself But you don’t deserve a way out Cuz you meddled with my best friend’s pride that’s not alright You don’t know what you’ve done Cuz clearly you’re not the one And how could you manipulate Someone that you care about so very much But you really think that he’d forgive you after what you’ve done You can’t just go and fuck with my friend and hope nothing comes Sit down at our table And act like no one was killed You smile with that evil look in your piercing eyes And lie about the pride of all the ones you love It’s late Sunday night And you double cross his life How do you live with yourself You sneak behind his back and hope that he won’t realize the shit you do But you really think that he’d forgive you after what you’ve done You can’t just go and fuck with my friend and hope nothing comes But you really think that he’d forgive you after what you’ve done You can’t just go and fuck with my friend and hope nothing comes

Friends 04:08
30 hours stuck inside a bus with You my friends I guess it isn’t so bad We know we’ll long for it when we’re gone We wait forever just to ride but it was Everything we needed for ourselves We talked and laughed for hours at a time And I wanna go back With you my very best friends Chess and shorts and miniature skateboards And buying way too many souvenirs And making up annoying names All the times we shared together were Only the beginning of what was to come For us we’re here together for a while And I wanna go back With you my very best friends We reminisce about the times when we’d just laugh and play But now we’re overridden with stress and shit that we don’t care about But all that does is make us know that we’re just all we need Let’s not lose sight of what we love to do and all we do Love to do and all we do Love to do and all we do for each other And I wanna go back With you my very best friends But I feel like I’m back With you my very best friends

Music Man 03:06
I see you in my dreams tonight And I need you in my future life I’d give my all all of the time I’d give every nickel and dime He’s been a music man all his life He needs a melody to be his wife Oh the road looks long up ahead But I still wanna do this til I’m dead All I ever wanted to do was shred And we’ll all be screaming let’s get this bread He’s been a music man all his life He needs a melody to be his wife He’s been a music man all his life He needs a melody to be his wife
7.
My brain cells are fried I think I almost died It’s too soon get bored You always seem to want more Why do I put up with this We all know that it’s pointless I lie awake in bed Thinking of what I should’ve said And when I finally sleep I’m still just counting sheep Why do I put up with this We all know that it’s pointless Only 30 more pages to go Why is it so damn slow My eyes ache so bad I’m thinking of what I could’ve had Why do I put up with this We all know that it’s pointless Why do I put up with this We all know that it’s pointless

Bottled Away 05:29
I waste my Sunday away With a waterfall on my face I just some catharsis For all of these emotions that I choose to keep bottled away It’s been too long of a day Surely this isn’t the way And I just need you to stay And help me with my problems that I choose to keep bottled away And I just need you here to give me your comfort And I just need you here to make everything okay So make everything okay I wake up in my basement Filled with guilt and regret I realize I’m in debt And I just wanna know why I keep this bottled away We sit in my car for hours Why do you have so much power I need to take a shower To wash this all away and keep this shit bottled away And I just need you here to give me your comfort And I just need you here to make everything okay So make everything okay And I know that I don’t go ahead and open up about myself and Tell you all my secrets now Let you know how I survive alone And I show you all my lies about who I really am inside And what I long for you to know About the person that I truly am I wish that I could open up more I know it’s hard for you to see I love the way you open up the door For me to share why I’m not doing well Wait for me to come back to you Cuz i just might stay on my own alone On my own alone On my own alone On my own alone On my own alone Maybe it’s best To be all on my own Cuz I keep my emotions bottled away
9.
Blind Love 04:24
I’m begging you say something to me It feels like we’re 100 miles apart We walk in silence we haven’t talked in years But you don’t know what’s going on Maybe I care too much Blind love how would I know The tears fall way too much Why can’t we realize this is a lie We’ve created to comfort ourselves What more can I give I try so hard I guess that I’m just not good enough Maybe I care too much Blind love how would I know The tears fall way too much Blind love how would I know The tears fall way too much
10.
Daisy 04:04
All day when I am away You got me feeling some kinda way Cuz I miss the sight of you so bad And I wish you would know that Daisy look what you do to me Crazy now wouldn’t you agree So be there when I get back Home with my backpack The best part of any day Is when I know you’ll stay with me Daisy look what you do to me Crazy now wouldn’t you agree Daisy look what you do to me Crazy now wouldn’t you agree Daisy look what you do to me Crazy now wouldn’t you agree

I just turned 18, and soon I’ll move far away from home to start college and to begin the next chapter of my life. And as exciting as that is, it’s also incredibly scary, and it’s forcing me to reflect on all the amazing aspects of my life here in Minnesota. This record is essentially a capstone of my musical journey so far. It highlights the reasons why I’ll miss home, but also reasons why I’m excited for the changes ahead. Most of all, though, it is a reflection on my experiences: maturing, growing up, and discovering who I am. (so far). Before I go, there are a few people I need to thank …

First of all, thank you to all who have supported me throughout the past 18 years, musically and in life. Huge shoutout to my friends, teachers, family, and other role models who have made me who I am today.

Also, special thanks to my mom, dad, sister, Zach Zurn, Nikola Hamilton, Wyatt Moran, Amanda Kaus, DeAnn Spencer, Blake Bonde, Liana Wiepert, Eric Welch, Emily Augustin, Steve Stellmaker, Gerard Wimmer, Cody VanSickle, Rosei Skipper, Dylan Hilliker, John Sievers, and Will Forsman.

Finally and most of all, thank you. You are the reason why I do this. You are the reason why I choose to spend every single day of my life practicing, performing, and writing music. So thank you for listening and appreciating what I do. Love you all <3
