Anchor 05:01
lyrics

I'm an anchor without a chain slowly falling to the ocean floor. Did you expect me to hold you still after all we've been through? And after all we've been through what's one more storm? You'll just have to be the one that keeps us together. Because I am so much dead weight. Clearly - (I mean) watch me sink! Maybe you were right. How could you love me?

Hexed into oblivion. Your chest forced to my chin, anchored to my heart which sinks in time. Ripped out of your grip. Slipped out of your lips, the words, "Let go of me." Terrible destiny.

about

This is an EP about what it would be like if fate and destiny were real. I don't believe in either necessarily and tried to imagine what it would be like if I did. All of my unrequited loves and heart breaks and abuses would have been "supposed to happen". And I attempt to explore the incredible sadness that I would feel if I truly believed I was supposed to be rejected, or destined to be alone, or fated to have been abused.

"Anchor" is the understanding that I am designed to be rejected. What use is a detached anchor on a boat (I'm not particularly nautical, so if there is in fact a use, I am unaware)? "Gulf" is a meditation on the distances between myself and other people. How great is the distance? Why is it there? "Pinacatl" is a translation of a dream I have where dozens of beetles sing to me as I walk through the uplands of Oklahoma. "Terrible Destiny" is an imagined scene in which I accept a horrifyingly bad relationship as 'destined to be so' and decide that I deserved whatever he gave me.

released August 16, 2013

Kenneth Masloski wrote, recorded, mixed, edited, and played everything on the album (for better or worse). Sean Harold gave input on "Gulf" and "Pinacatl", resulting in the editing of one of the songs and an acknowledgement of good criticism which was ultimately ignored by me regarding the other.

The front and back covers are edited from a picture I took of my computer screen displaying a picture credited to Jim Rorabaugh, USFWS.
