Our feet were dangling over the world Heads high, high, high Smiles fly, fly, flyin' Drawing continents into calendars Dipping deep into dreams You can drink from these pools, but they’re dry Your head’s to the tiles, but you smile fine I want to start over but you haunt me I wanna say I care but my hands stare You can drink from these pools, but they’re dry Your head’s to the tiles, but you smile fine I want to start over but you haunt me I wanna say I care She’s spiky and she’s cold She’s spiky and she’s bold She’s spiky and she’s gold Fingerprick and you'll see She’s spiky and she’s cold She’s spiky and she’s bold She’s spiky and she’s gold Fingerprick and you'll see mold Too many late nights Too many not rights Feeling full of it Peeling off my lip Too many late nights Too many not rights Custard chocolate drip Garbage wrapped in shit You left me wondering where I left my head My underbelly’s showing, all stained red I want to start over but you haunt me I wanna say I care but my hands stare You left me wondering where I left my head My underbelly’s showing, all stained red I want to start over but you haunt me I wanna say I care She’s spiky and she’s cold She’s spiky and she’s bold She’s spiky and she’s gold Fingerprick and you'll see She’s spiky and she’s cold She’s spiky and she’s bold She’s spiky and she’s gold Fingerprick and you'll see mold I wanna be you I wanna be you I wanna be you I wanna be me

All I need when I feel sad Is a cup of jasmine tea Obnoxious laughs shared in between All I need when I feel sad Is a cup of jasmine tea A cup of jasmine tea Boundless doggo energy Brighter than sunshine, easily Your heart runs 25/7 Pumping out love for everyone Strike a pose, smokin’ out all 360 degrees Playin’ league, gg, single brain cell on repeat Your creativity inspires me You're the one and only Jasmine T Soulmate’s a word often used for lovers but If this wasn’t god or destiny I don’t even know what it could be, mm You don’t need to run, number one, take your time, ‘cuz You just gotta walk on your journey Gotta trust in your abilities, mm All I need when I feel sad Is a cup of jasmine tea Obnoxious laughs shared in between All I need when I feel sad Is a cup of jasmine tea A cup of jasmine tea

Lantern On The Sea 02:54
lyrics

No matter how the waves knock No matter how the boat rocks Keep your light on for me Keep your light on for me No matter how the waves knock No matter how the boat rocks Keep your light on for me My lantern on the sea Sunshine splatters on the floor Birds call and cry, their songs implore Everything converges to the fore This world is for you to explore Gold doesn’t rust And nor will your heart All your lasts and firsts Years together and apart The space between my fingers Is space reserved for yours The places your scent lingers Are places that are yours No matter how the waves knock No matter how the boat rocks Keep your light on for me Keep your light on for me No matter how the waves knock No matter how the boat rocks Keep your light on for me My lantern on the sea I’ll step with you off the cliff as we spread our wings I’ll look up at the night sky to see you burn alight I’ll watch you watching that dark house, never seeing a thing, never hearing a thing I'll pluck the farthest stars to keep this lantern alight I'll pluck the farthest stars to keep this lantern alight I'll pluck the farthest stars to keep this lantern alight If the years ahead Are what dreams could be You will always be My little lantern on the sea

Sakura, sakura Drape me in fragrance Chanela, chanela Drown me in a glance When spring arrives And glazes your skin with the Honey-slow sunrise I see the petals fall down When spring arrives And glazes your skin with the When spring arrives And glazes your skin with the Honey-slow sunrise I see the petals fall down

I’ve Got a secret And you Can you keep it? I’ve been a really good boy these days Look at my lil' face So won’t you give me a treat To eat? And you You’ve been real down So I’ll I’ll take you around I’ll show you the world i see How fun it can be So shall we? The world’s filled with Puddles and pits I’m so happy So come on and run with me 1, 2, 3, 4 Take me to the park Or anywhere really Get home before dark And then come snuggle with me Take me to the park To the park (La la la) Look At the water I slormp At the water I’ve got a million things to wag about The sun, the grass, the clouds So won’t you run ‘round with me And see! Humans Are real strange You’re sad When the leaves change But don’t you worry my child I’ll sure make you smile So c’mon c’mon c’mon The world’s filled with Puddles and pits I'm so happy So come on and run with me 1, 2, 3, 4 Take me to the park Or anywhere really Get home before dark And then come snuggle with me Take me to the park To the park Take me to the park Or anywhere really Get home before dark And then come snuggle with me Take me to the park To the park

Window 01:52

What lies outside the bus window? Wisteria trees They leer at me Wind slams against the bus window In the morning light Sunspots flit-fly The unchanging pavement Stretches on past the horizon And I imagine Burning tar, browning skin, pressing in Where I lay my head And I sleep again Outside the bus windowpane Eyelids feeling heavy with the rain Outside the bus windowpane Eyelids feeling heavy with the rain

Dark choco nights melted into waves 4AM beats, the frequencies engraved Lemony mornings and wide open eyes Little bugs caught and kept in mid-fly Cinnamon and hazelnut, friends in glut Warmth tastes like coconuts My fat tears folded in ’nilla whip Silence smothered in ganache drip Cinnamon and hazelnut, friends in glut Warmth tastes like coconuts Remember to spit out the pit Remember when we...

about

this EP was borne out of a gap year between high school and university, and also a product of my first ever self-produced, self-written, self-recorded work. Growing Pains is a reflection of my time in high school and the limbo i was thrown into due to the gap year and the simultaneous pandemic. i was left feeling like i had definitively left that place in my life, but also feeling like other than those experiences, i had nothing left to anchor myself onto.

many of the songs are from my "vsco song project", where i made little song vignettes from photos of small moments i had taken during high school; all of the tracks are a palette of both the bitter and the sweet of my teenage years, and tributes to some of the most important people in my life.

reflecting back on this EP now, writing this "about" in august of 2021, it resembles more a bedroom floor arts and craft project than any kind of polished musical work, but i think it's a time capsule of that perfect, ambiguous, uncertain point of life of pre-adulthood. thank you for listening and for allowing my music to be a part of your life, i am forever grateful.
