lyrics

Well, I’m standing in the kitchen / And I’m staring at my cell phone / Because I've been waiting for a notification, for some validation, for over an hour now

And when I go back to the task at hand / And I look back down in the sink again / And this has happened once before, this has happened once before / I saw a fish swimming in the dishwater

I only stop drinking coffee / When I start drinking wine /Because time is an illusion / And all my life is deconstruction, demolition, demolition, demolition, deconstruction

So, I asked the dishfish, / What the hell he was doing just swimming in my kitchen

And the fish said / “Nah man, this is something that you’re doing to yourself / How many times does a talking fish have to tell you to get help?" / Too many times, too many times, too many times, too many times

I only stop drinking coffee / When I start drinking wine /Because time is an illusion / And all my life is deconstruction, demolition, demolition, demolition, deconstruction

And then the fish grew man legs / Man arms, a man's face / And he got really aggressive / And I got overly defensive again

Talking fish always get me like that, man.

Here is some music I made.
Some of it will show up reincarnated in other projects, some of it will not. For this reason the songs here will likely be fairly bare.
Welcome.

Another Step Back
by Broken Glass Kids

Broken Glass Kids make maybe the most heartwarming music I have ever heard. Seriously. The fast folk-punky guitar and banjo work drives unstoppable vocal melodies. The album is full of love 'n beauty. Kostyn

Empty Walls
by Danny Webster

Danny Webster is a good friend of mine's younger brother, and Empty Walls blew my freaking mind. It's lo-fi, folky, and distant yet grounded, and gets better with every listen. Kostyn
