High-Risk Behavior 03:56

I can feel the caffeine coursing through my veins manically scrolling time the telephone wires are hurting my head to be with you is to walk in dread and soon you’ll be disgusted by your own existence and soon you will question the validity of your own body all the tension of the world return to a void in one being devoid of substance been getting pretty nihilistic these days there’s no difference between being dead or alive I’m engaging in high-risk behavior again vulnerable to someone who isn’t your friend is this the beginning or is this the end? the beginning the end the beginning the end I’m engaging in high risk-behavior again vulnerable to someone who isn’t your friend is this the beginning or is this the end? the beginning the end the beginning the end I could be your weak goddess your vision on a mountain mix you a nice steaming potion where would I be without your endless devotion? eventually you'll crumble from the weight of the world eventually you'll snap from the pressure of a rotten core all the tension of the world return to a void in one being devoid of substance been getting pretty nihilistic these days there’s no difference between being dead or alive I’m engaging in high-risk behavior again vulnerable to someone who isn’t your friend is this the beginning? or is this the end? the beginning the end the beginning the end I’m engaging in high-risk behavior again vulnerable to someone who isn’t your friend is this the beginning? or is this the end? the beginning the end the beginning the end

sometimes I try to be alone don’t try to walk me home …try to be alone I’m beginning to feel alive for the first time I’m beginning to live for real this time I don’t want to die so young gone in the deep woods I don’t want to go the way of all of my friends wasted in the suburbs again wandered home lost and worried faded in the fringe again running from… rushed and hurried I’m beginning to feel alive for the first time I’m beginning to live for real this time will we see an end to this violence or will we indulge in the fetish of a silence? will we see an end to this violence or will we indulge in the fetish of a silence?

The Suburban Myth 01:52
lyrics
buy track
I've come to the conclusion that safety’s an illusion I've come to the stark realization that smoothened by persuasion we convince ourselves of something false I want nothing more than our destruction safety is when nothing happens safety is when nothing happens safety is when nothing happens safety is when nothing happens this world is so cruel and I’m thankful for the angels who survive it all the world doesn't deserve us I would laugh and cry with you in the same sentence that’s what some call an echo chamber safety is when nothing happens safety is when nothing happens safety is when nothing happens safety is when nothing happens (safety is when nothing happens) (safety is when nothing happens) (safety is when nothing happens) (safety is when nothing happens)

about

What you become says way more about you than where you’re from. I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of mythology. Gods, monsters, archetypes, and legends that dance and elaborate the theatre of life, a mirror for society. I think of the self in this same way: an invention that we develop and that others make for us as we live our lives, both of these ideas eventually creating a deeper truth. I wanted to weave a tapestry of stories about growing up queer in the suburbs of Philadelphia and reflecting back on my personal mythology in a traumatizing household, to see what lessons I could learn from my past, as I remember it in fragments, sounds, and stories others have told me. The themes that remained present throughout this entire project are of violence, the contradiction of safety, and the changing roster of who you consider family throughout a lifetime. I wanted to meditate on the perpetual violence within the seemingly calm world of suburbia, what happens behind closed doors of stark beige cookie-cutter homes with chestnut rooftops. I tried to capture this essence in the form of ambient noise and weird electronic sexuality: a howling chorus of winter valkyries desperately chirping sonic landscapes through the distortion of teenage emotion and the trials of familial secrecy and judgement. Will we see an end to this violence, or will we indulge in the fetish of a silence? With Suburban Legend I fathomed indulgence, self-destructive habits, and the game of risk that we play to experience joy in sterile environments. One day, while writing this album, I came across a sign in Lowe’s that read, “Safety is when nothing happens,” which easily became a personal thesis. I’ve come to the conclusion that safety’s an illusion. This is a suburban myth to me, a suburban legend if you will, that preventing danger from happening is better than experiencing the world in its austere unfamiliarity.
