I still remember the day I don't know if you do But you should You cost someone a life that day (almost) Not physically, but Mentally and socially And it's all your fault How does that make you feel? Hello? Are you still tuning in? Am I coming through clearly? I think you should apologize right now And do it sincerely Let her know you mean it Even though no amount of words From your disgusting, scummy mouth could ever make up For what you've done And who you've hurt Do not undermine me Listen: I say stop I'm still giving you shit Four years later Because you deserve it And your actions have been perpetuated By the follow-up And there's nothing you can do to take it back And I don't expect you to try I promise, I'm not joking And when I say to stop When I tell you to let it go, to leave it be I mean it: just leave it alone Go away Goodbye

In a field of green Where will you be? Could you say it again this time? (Could you say it again for me?) I think I might have missed something The first time around In a field of green (In your field of green) Where will you be? Where will I be? We are not so different as it may seem My friends and I, we think alike But whatever I say, it comes out mean And when I try to apologize They up and walk away Why are things this way? I really feel like they shouldn’t be In a field of green Where will you be? Could you say it again this time? (Could you say it again for me?) I think I might have missed something The third time around In a field of green (In your field of green) Where will you be? Where will I be? In a field of blue Would I be so lucky to have you? Would I be so lucky? (I don’t know, you tell me) The leaves are falling down around me The leaves are changing colors and falling all around you and me It’s cardigan weather, so go get your sweater And jump into a pile of leaves

I don't want to have to build this I don't want to have to fit in I don't want to have to need someone But I do.. I don't want to have to attract boys I don't want to have to be here I don't want to have to eat to fill a hole But I do.. But it's better than nothing at all But it's better than nothing at all I don't want to have to be angry at you I don't want to have to blame it on my father I don't want to feel sick around you But I do.. I don't want to ever fall in love I don't want to feel so insecure I don't want to have to write this to explain Still I do.. This feels better than nothing at all... This feels better than nothing at all...

about

"FTPOT" is the followup to 2009's 'R.E.M.' There is definitely a noticeable change in musical direction, all the while still having the same feel as its predecessor. I decided to try something new with this record and actually sing on some of the tracks (6 to be exact, including 1 spoken word track; track 2). Each song was inspired by something specific and it's usually evident in the title. Production of the album went fairly quick, and was actually completed by november 2009, but I decided to wait 4 months to release it because I wasn't fond of the idea of having released 2 records in the same year.

I would describe my sound as a combination of electronic, ambient, experimental, and alternative. There may occasionally be hints of indie and maybe even avant-garde in there somewhere, as well. Maybe.
