when I lay down for another failed attempt at sleep I stare through these dead eyes at the emptiness that lies next to me and I wish you were with me. did you ever think the sun burning on shoulders was the flames of hell? I wish you were, I wish you were with me.
created at the lumberyard during quarantine/summer 2020. Matthew Thomas Banta. thank you ace enders, dom & nik. thank you nicole for the album art work. tracks 6 & 8 were a combination of ideas from previous projects dating back to when I was 14 including don't say I won't, redemption, night owls & more. the lyrics of this record were written over the course of the last 18 years or so. thought the world was going to end, it didn't, maybe I'll play these songs in public one day. I made this record for me, I hope you enjoy too. love, Matt
