... Wide eyes, my lungs felt big Honest to God, nowhere is perfect Familiar, so familiar From advice you keep running From the overpass I didn't think we would see our shadows From the overpass I didn't think you would leave this town though Because we were kids, and now we are 23 So irregular And no one told me that our dreams would turn sad I'm alone again, yeah I've gotten good at that Because we were kids, and now we are Two strangers Who live a world apart Now you are, navy sheets Eventually, on varsity Now you are, so far, now you are, so far, now you are, now you are Old news, like when we were Running through the sprinklers Remember Remember Open your eyes, bare feet upon the road I'm hoping, I'm hoping that things won't turn Sour Seog emit eht erehw swonk ohw dna So comfortable (Comfort, Comfort) (I'll take it with me) (Love, Love, Love)

Fahim: As-salamu alaykum So it goes Castle in the sky Found a puddle looked it in the eyes Couple close calls but that's all right Couple closed doors hope they're all right On the other side, the other side, the other side Roosevelt Island, the city never sleeps But I'll stay quiet, the way you looked at me Is enough to be, it's enough to be All right We'll be all right, we will be Emmett: Fuck it Usually I take the loss and stay in my pain bruh I ain't paid to run I follow up Took a train to know me But I remain along the east coast I'll run it back just to not be alone Piece the world that made me Glad I love my baby Have you involved I know Having you left to lose I'm on this independent pain I'm going to smoke that pack I've been sad Watch me ride through the flood I'm gonna hold up two deuces yeah for my number 1 Sola

what's it mean? American Dream you dont want to see, something so liberal terrorize me, well Gaza’s streets are gone cleansed in Beijing, rinsed hands won’t take that off 20% of, 20% of all whats the point of wealth writing checks for Reagan’s war you don't see the world just like everyone youre not anyone you lost the language cuz you were embarrassed by Cheney’s war inclusions lure brown eyes don’t cry just speak your words (Assalamu Alaiykum) you don’t know your worth they’re guilty (vultures) they’re guilty (cultures) of western work they’re silencers (crusaders) … im lacking in self respect survivance it pounds my head or my shoulders again down by the river waiting for change i know a harbor free of the pain i’ll go one day little green house of mine strands of fur, wood chimes old sweater, its just a dream (so it goes) just for me wind’s up

Fahim: One day, I'll get over I'll get over All this I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I'm sorry. Sorry Everyday I wake up to the son wondering what went wrong? I'm sorry. Sorry. You. For you. Hang on. Gonna hang on. Gonna hang on. I'm suffocating আমি ঠিক আছি মা আমি সুস্থ হয়ে উঠবো ভালো চালু বাঁচি আমরা যান আমরা যান (So it goes, so it goes, so it goes, so it goes) ... Sean: Head's half in the clouds All love when I'm down Floating, I'm floating Enjoy myself for now Clocks won't bring me down Slower, go slower Think I'm going to see beyond this Think I'm going to see beyond this Think I'm going to see beyond this Think I'm going, think I'm going One day

about

This is an EP that was written and recorded while I was recovering from a physical ailment at my parents' house this summer. Staying in my childhood bedroom and feeling stuck in my hometown added a mental challenge to my physical issues; as an individual in my early 20s, returning from the life I had developed in Boston was difficult because I had to watch my friends spread their wings while I felt like I was falling behind. However, I eventually found solace in this temporary domesticity. With the unforeseen free time and quiet I had, I was afforded the opportunity to reflect on different challenges I've faced in my life, from losing friends to Islamophobia. These are 5 songs that document these reflections. They explore the implicit tension between mental isolation and life aspirations that shapes my everyday actions. Ultimately, life comes with hardships. But I found everything I didn't know that I was looking for in my life while I was "stuck" in Richmond: intimacy, humility, and tranquility.

This is a completely free experience, as I just want to share these sounds with you. Hope you enjoy, thank you for listening!
