curtains 01:20
i wish I could spend the rest of my life inside my room and not die because of it avoid people and employment and just sit inside all day and night the only problem is I know I would lose my mind stay indoors, where's the water warm and it's dry and I don't have to wear sunglasses to keep the sun from straining my eyes and I'll cover my windows with blackout curtains to effectively forget what day it is and I won't know when to pick up the mail
3.
at this point feels like forever that you picked up and left town i still remember the way the clock sped up whenever you came down and the way you made me feel flipping my body inside out and the oxygen deprived from my lungs is not enough to bring you home can you remember my touch? and my car can only go so far til my engine fails and i fall out and they’ll bury me inside the tree where i’ll talk to the clouds and the fall when misanthropy was all you and me had ever felt now you’ve approached me and i can’t see what i need anymore

i need time 00:55
i need time to gather up all of my thoughts and put them back inside my head i don’t know why i’ve been stuck on the same person for half of my existence i realize it drags me down but i can’t help it i love her too much to let it go and it hurts my friends to see me like this but you know that i can’t help it she’s my cocaine high go ahead, laugh now if you want to it won’t mean much more than my heart meant to her

it started christmas morning i woke up early roughly 10 a.m. poured the contents of my stocking embroided with my name a toblerone fell out white chocolate with nuts in it next to that sat two full Hershey bars white as well, you know it cream n cookie flavored not separated unfortunately for it a photo etched into the skin a weak replacement for a segment breaking off the whole, but not a piece instead you get a fragment unpredictable in its nature the broken pieces form a whole as i step aside and gaze upon the picture that i withhold a lily comes into perspective i don’t know what to do with it the white chocolate’s melting in my hands and i’ve decided that i’m through with it

sara / (III) 01:52
lately i’ve been thinking sara made me feel like i need something i somehow never realized that i need and i’m conflicted, my list depicted i need me a friend and quarantine has got me fresh all out of them my dad’s an asshole but i don’t care it’s probably better that way anyway cause he taught me exactly how not to be a dad and my sister, how i miss her i wish she could live closer to us but what’s on the west coast stays on the west coast baby and i find myself drawn to the shoreline

peach fuzz 02:04
sitting on the kitchen counter, flowers sat on the window sill drops of water on the side of the glass they’re in ceramic, silver, and gold dust are lining the cabinets a pair of napkins, peach fuzz, and corduroy thoughts a bed of basil lies just out of the view from the window her shoes are sat on the floor by the mat for the doggy door a kind of resonant sound finds its way through the hallways a pair of russian dolls on the shelf by the door
8.
one more time to pick up all i left here and pack my suitcase perfectly aligned in time i notice on the t.v. an advertisement, a set of kitchen knives aligned along the kitchen counter a brand new drink of water a picture of sorts a stereotype i wasn’t into sports i never knew why the crashing of cymbals when i’m trying to sleep will you sleep next to me? will you sleep next to me? i’m not hopeless i am just a moment in time but will you sleep next to me? will you sleep next to me?
9.
you can ask me what i feel like charlie you can break all of the bridges charlie it’s you that burnt that bridge, not me i guess you’ve been playing pyro, charlie well you’ve been been feeling sick, but i’ve been sicker i drown everything out with three pounds of weed and liquor i wrote a faithful essay but no one cared my voice sucked back then but no one dared to say a word cause no one heard the words i wrote, a scripture the way i felt when the turnout turned out to fall just short of the picture and baby, i might wait for you you’re not the same, it’s ok i’m not too lately i’ve been baked all day wide awake, i drink too much and i miss you charlie you carried me in when both my knees gave out you followed me out i followed you back in you’re missing the point of all of this you’re missing the point

about

remastered Jan 2021

"A Silver Lining" is a collection of field recordings, found sound, spoken word poetry, and singer-songwriter/pop songs taped together into a 20 minute sound collage.

This album could never have been made without the magical field recordings and spoken word poetry from attic atlas/Frost (link to her pages below). This album also features our very first guest singer!

Special thanks to delaney for helping me make "idk" a million times better <3
