Goodbye tragic days, I wanted to tell you you're safe to go home now. Nothing more to say, We've had our time, and it's been a time. Goodbye tragic times, The highs and the lows used to feel like a home. When I lose my mind I want to lay On the shore of grace. Why are you following me When I already asked you to leave? Must have had something to teach But I know that I want to say goodbye... Cuz oh the sheets, they feel like home. Your body looks so beautiful. I meet your eyes and try not to die Cuz everything feels like nothing was ever known. oooo-ooo-oooo-oooo-oo Goodbye sweetest friend. I know that we'll meet again someday. Goodbye times we've spent. You taught me I want another way. Will you see me here? Flying and free, but at home to the heart that is me. I won't have any less love to give when I'm giving it all to the sea. Holding your hand inside my own is the feeling of absolute peace. Oh the sheets, they feel like home. Your body looks so beautiful. I meet your eyes and try not to die Cuz everything feels like nothing was ever known. oooo-ooo-oooo-oooo-oo Goodbye detriment. I don't want you here anymore. There's no easy way to say I never liked you much, and when you leave will you shut the door? Goodbye tragic times, The highs and the lows never felt so alone. When I lose my mind I want to lay On the shore of grace. Why are you following me When I already asked you to leave? Must have had something to teach But I know that I want to say goodbye... Cuz oh the sheets, they feel like home. Your body looks so beautiful. I meet your eyes and try not to die Cuz everything feels like nothing was ever known. oooo-ooo-oooo-oooo-oo

Divine retribution, our fucked institution, I’m seeing scars… You know who you are. I daydream in jail cells, And some days it feels like hell. Can someone please take me Home to myself? Hello, can you hear me Through all the smoke and din? I hope this won’t break us. I try not to breathe it in. I’m not a broken person, But neither are you, my friend. I’ll say it gladly: love you madly. But you’re right, The world can be so dark at night. I’ll stand beside you, And show you all your inner light, Cuz sacrifice Is no price to pay for this. I’ll say it gladly: I love you madly. I’ve always been chaos. My hearts’ never been my own. I’m strung on a map of The people I’ve called my home. I’ve loved all the angels. I’ve loved all the demons too. The only thing missing Is how it felt loving you. My hearts’ been breaking out, My minds’ been breaking down, And if my soul could shout, She’d resurrect this town. This town was oh, so bright When all the dreamers ruled the night Oh, will you follow me? I want to go home and see. My hearts’ been breaking out, My minds’ been breaking down, And if my soul could shout, She’d resurrect this town. This town was oh, so bright When all the dreamers ruled the night Oh, will you follow me? I want to go home and see. But you’re right, The world can be so dark at night. I’ll stand beside you, And show you all your inner light, Cuz sacrifice Is no price to pay for this. I’ll say it gladly: I love you madly. Divine retribution, our fucked institution, I’m seeing scars… You know who you are. I daydream in jail cells, And some days it feels like hell. Can someone please take me Home to myself? Hello, can you hear me Through all the smoke and din? I hope this won’t break us. I try not to breathe it in. I’m not a broken person, But neither are you, my friend. I’ll say it gladly: love you madly.

Gentle 02:45
I wish I Could go back And hold you when You were just a little kid And tell you things you need to hear then. I wish I Could go back And play the games you used to play In your backyard. I'd play them your way From the start. But alas They haven't Yet made something That could do that. I guess we'll just have to stay Here in 2020. But soon the time will pass I'lll ask you things You never thought I'd ask, And you'll keep hoping That I still think you're funny. Won't you please be gentle with me? I'll take you places you never thought you'd see. And though I might seem triggered, I hope you'll please consider I'm just a small girl whose head is too little for her dreams.

about

This EP is both the story of falling in love and choosing to move away from the extremes of mental illness into recovery. In GoodbyeTragic Times, the singer narrates her feelings on moving from one relationship to another and falling in love with simple, everyday moments. The 2nd song, Broken Person paints a picture of how our current society can negatively shape our mental health. Oceanwings screams of her own moral in stating that we don't deserve to suffer because of our fucked society; let's unite the dreamers and create a better world. Lastly, the simple love song, "Gentle," is the singer's attempt to enter into a new relationship in hope that she can help heal another person's inner child whilst enjoying life and treating one another with gentle love.
