Make the right decision when you're sixteen it's too late to think it out now Pull yourself together early twenties you should have it figured out now Is it permanently binding? Chase the trail until you're underground Happiness that you had never found If you feel an itch, don't you think that you should scratch it? Keep your ears perked out, listen closely to the sound Understand yourself, drive yourself to something that you'll love you'll love, you'll love Weigh out all your options on your own time as the clock is counting down now Last-minute decision swallows your life struggle while you choke it down now Can you turn back and reverse it? Chase the trail until you're underground Happiness that you had never found and will not now If you feel an itch, don't you think that you should scratch it? Keep your ears perked out, listen closely to the sound Understand yourself, drive yourself to something that you'll love you'll love, you'll love Doin' what you wanna do, what you love and staying true Understand yourself, drive yourself to something that you'll love, you'll love, you'll love

Shelter 02:41
I wish that you could say that we're forever When I lay by your side, i'm put together Do you feel the same way as I do? My cards are on the table, just pick and choose I can give you comfort until we fade Heal when you are hurting, what do you say? I love when you pull me in and hold me tight and when I kiss your forehead, I feel alive Do you want these moments every day? I feel at home around you, so warm and safe I can give you comfort until we fade Heal when you are hurting, what do you say? I think of life without you and it's not the same I love the little shelter that we have made

Medallion 03:43
Watch my friends becoming alcoholics It's a touchy subject, I don't talk about it often Remember when you told me you were naked and somebody tried to touch you You were too afraid to stop them I'll never forget that I wish I had the strength I did back then to reach out for their hands If only I had the strength I did back then to reach out for their hands Break ups bleeding out into divorces You used to share a bed, but now you're sleeping on my couch, yeah Remember when you passed out on the pavement Those deafening, awful sirens You couldn't afford the rehab I'll never forget that I wish I had the strength I did back then to reach out for their hands If only I had the strength I did back then to reach out for their hands It's so different now, each and every day Try to come around, don't make another mistake Something's got to give, I'll be on my way God, so much has changed

A friend once said, "healing isn't linear," she sang it in a song that we recorded in my basement. And down the street we played soccer all night long I played the girls a song while we sat down on the railroad tracks All these thoughts in my dreams tonight You popped your tire neighbors put a new one on we rehearsed some songs I forgot to say you wrote well And on the couch told dad what was going on wrote it in my songs, too afraid to let him in All these thoughts in my dreams tonight The LED lights shine over my futon while I write my songs and record them in my basement. I'll feel let down if I don't put this album out share these messy songs I hope that someone will listen.

Note to Self 02:24
Dig a little deeper find out what you're feeling anger isn't healing neither is being alone Just take your time and trust your breathing It's better than you're thinking help yourself for once Let it sink in process the moments that you're driving through your head It's over but it's not the end of the world and it may get much harder but you'll end up getting that much closer to the peace that you have made Don’t rush yourself ‘Cause it’ll only disappoint It’ll take All your strength To try and filter out the noise AHHH (x2) And the pain will only make you stronger So your suffering will feel much smaller From the peace that you have made

Had a spiritual awakening Wandering down the halls Listening to Jay Som Thinking of dysphoria Cried with my friends Thought this was the end of the good times And then I laugh I’m never getting younger You know that feeling When it hits you all at once? It’s hard for me to focus I didn’t take my medication Breathe… You know that everything will work out in the end Don’t blink or else you’ll miss it Breathe… Just take it one step at a time Just take it one step at a time They kissed my neck It felt like I was floating I feel like I am growing Into someone I can love The doctor said I need to take care of myself I never listened But now it’s always on my mind A better head awaits if I just Listen to myself And buckle in I promise all the weight will feel a thousand miles away if I just Listen to myself, I know that’s hard for me to do, but I’ll just Breathe…

Square One 03:20
I tried to pretend it didn’t hurt But suddenly anger came over me Years of progress washed away And old habits violently choking me It’s not what I expected But it’s also no surprise What happened five years ago Starts again like a reprise Do I have to fight again? This is going nowhere Making all the same mistakes Let you under my skin Trying hard to move on It’s never easy Shutting curtains One step forward Ten steps back to you I’m pushing it down No matter the cost I can’t deal with this anymore If I was meant to be okay
I’d be there now I don’t wanna fight again It just leads me nowhere Making all the same mistakes ‘Cause it’s just routine by now Trying hard to move on It’s never easy Shutting curtains One step forward Ten steps back to bed

The Girls 02:16
Chewing bubblegum cigarettes Never thought I’d make it to your room Always fought me just for kicks But I always went home way too soon Had to feel like I Was one of the girls It’s so obvious To me now Shooting rabbids on the screen While your cherry lip gloss caught my eyes It was never meant for me But the thought had never left my mind Wanted to feel like I Was one of the girls It’s so obvious To me now Did you notice anything? Did it ever cross your mind? Was it painted on my face? Or did it click with you in hindsight? Needed to feel like I Was one of the girls It’s so obvious To me now I should have known Somewhere deep inside That I was one of the girls

(my agenda) 01:56
A few good million want me dead They haven’t met me yet What a shame I guess my love is just too powerful The restaurant I went to With my makeup on Made a man so angry That he walked out without paying I see everything That you think And that’s okay I never did this mess to please your heart I’ll be on my way A polarized reaction From my college mates Thinking to themselves “Who’s this man with a painted face?” I criticize my family For ignoring that Elemental fact Of my existence that is part of me I see everything That you think And that’s okay I never did this mess to please your heart I’ll be on my way

Overgrown 03:16
something tells me that i’m searching for an enemy of one beneath the setting sun i’m shaking in a desert in Antarctica surely there’s an explanation why i stand alone i’m burdened with these expectations so i try to be a rolling stone Isn’t there another option That I should’ve found by now I struggle just to trust my instincts I’m burning it all to the ground Pack it up I’m seething from the Choices that I’ve made I never wanna be around another Person that’ll dig into me Tell me who’s to blame Tell me who’s to blame It all feels the same Travel through the conversations I wish I never had Narrow down the options till There’s no one and no going back Wish I never offered to help The problem’s now my own I can’t believe I fell for this When I knew that it’d get overgrown Pack it up I’m seething from the Choices that I’ve made I never wanna be around another Person that’ll dig into me Tell me who’s to blame Tell me who’s to blame It all feels the same If you just listened to me

I change every single day I rearrange myself for no-one Just my own dismay I waste my breath trying to say Words that don’t mean a lot to no-one Barely much to me There is no-one That can handle me And when I wake, I don’t open up my eyes I just wanna hear the noise around me I wait till peace has found me, Right before I rise Right before I rise I hate most of what I am I chain myself so that there’s no one Caught up in my mess I don’t know most of the time I treat my mind like I have no-one That holds me to their chest If there’s no-one No-one And when I wake, I don’t open up my eyes I just wanna hear the noise around me I wait til peace has found me, Right before I rise I hear a voice that has chased me all my life And I think that it’s finally found me The emptiness around me Fades before my eyes Maybe I am fine Maybe I am fine
12.
Go Figure 03:41
What's my plan for the next four years? Have I gotten there yet? Will this be my new career or is that too much of a bet? Everybody's gone away but they left behind their pain I will carry it for them while I figure out myself Is the future gonna be alright? Have I won the game or will new problems introduce themselves? Will they feel the same? Everybody's gone away but they left behind their pain I will carry it for them while I figure out myself

about

"This Might Be Healing" is an album that I wasn't expecting to make.
I was already working on another album before a bunch of personal stuff came up and made me take a step back from it. I needed a break from what I was already working on - I needed a new sound to explore. So I grabbed a cajon from my job and I started writing acoustic songs.
I've heard people say "acoustic music sucks, it's so boring," so I wanted to challenge that. I wanted to make each song as big as possible, like an MTV Unplugged session that never aired. A five-song EP turned into an eight-song album which turned into what "This Might Be Healing" is now. I wrote and recorded and mixed this album in less than two months, and I know that might make it sound like a mess, but I think it's something special that I will never be able to do the same way again. I hope you enjoy it. These songs might be healing to you, just like how they were healing to me. The Bandcamp version also comes with three gnarly covers.

Thank you Indigo Finamore for falling in love with this album and making me feel like it was worth listening to.
Thank you to my partner for being by my side and technically co-writing Note to Self, even if you would never give yourself credit. You are my shelter and I love you.
Thank you to everyone who let me send the album demos over to them, even if you never responded back, probably because I was clearly losing my mind over these songs.
Thank you to my dad for "wanting me to go viral" and always supporting my music.
Thank you to Katie and Sandra for being my best friends and being willing to listen to this from the beginning.
Lastly, thank you to Kota for teaching me that healing isn't linear and inadvertently giving me the thematic center of this whole album.
