Can't See 02:47
Can’t See Get away from me Your face I can’t bear to see This catastrophe It’s really killing me Lack responsibility For your own actions No wonder there was no attraction Go from town to town Hard enough without you bringing me down I don’t want you around Finally know myself so much better I deserve more than whatever Delusion you can’t see Get all your thrills Swallowing those pills Even those can’t save you The borderline Got no money but all of the time To whine Go from town to town Hard enough without you bringing me down I don’t want you around Finally know myself so much better I deserve more than whatever Delusion you can’t see It’s time to break free

Love With You It seems I’ve found Someone I want around My heart is where you are Wipe my tears away Someday you’ll stay in this city The light on your face is so pretty And I’m so in love with you I want to hold your hand This ground alone I can stand But it’s so much better When we’re together Wipe my tears away Someday you’ll stay in this city The light on your face is so pretty Stay the night Tuck me in By your side, I win Rub my hands on your face Wipe my tears away Someday you’ll stay in this city The light on your face is so pretty And I’m so in love with you Yes, I’m so in love with you Yes, I love you

I'm Not Okay 02:59
I’m Not Okay Said goodbye to myself today The whole world has gone astray It’s time to change our ways Productive, no way to behave How long must this go on? I cried today Realized the past will never be the same The world has changed No going back, let’s refrain How long must this go on? I lost more gigs today Can’t say my boss is a jerk, no way Always so much work but now no pay What’s my worth? How long must this go on? Called up my friend today Didn’t have much to say He’s sick, no way It’s only a matter of time, decay How long must this go on? I cooked my third meal of the day Onion made me cry, peeled away What I’m holding in I’m not okay

Google University Oh how I long for human connection But I’m stuck here battlin’ perfection Not quite sure what’s the best medicine It’s absurd, have you heard? Humans spent many years trying to figure out How to make it to the moon we did it without a doubt Now the internet makes it so clear to see The buffoons who graduated Google University Looking out my window with excruciating existential dread Am I the only one who is right in the head? I form my own thoughts and don’t pretend to know Because I don’t and that’s okay Humans spent many years trying to figure out How to make it to the moon we did it without a doubt Now the internet makes it so clear to see The buffoons who graduated Google University It’s not okay to make assumptions That aren’t based on facts You look like an ass I’m not sorry that this is crass Humans spent many years trying to figure out How to make it to the moon we did it without a doubt Now the internet makes it so clear to see The buffoons who graduated Google University I’m sorry that you cannot see The truth that is reality Get me the fuck out of here

My Brain 01:55
My Brain My brain is going insane Knocked the membranes out of place My brain can’t remember my name Can’t remember my name Can’t remember my name My brain had to change its pace Find a quiet place everyday My brain just an empty space Neurons interlaced Neurons interlaced My brain overstimulate Biting all the bait

2020 03:13
2020 Vote for this and vote for that What we miss may not come back Brainwashed to think that we’re all free Has this become reality? Politicians missed the mark Our countrys done that from the start It doesn’t work this red vs blue There’s so much more to me and you With every ballot cast We still haven’t confronted the past So get your head out of your ass To find The love that’s deep inside There’s never quite been a time So much division in our kind The algorithms feed us though Logged off is where we need to go With every ballot cast We still haven’t confronted the past So get your head out of your ass To find the love Has anyone read the history books? This country was founded by a bunch of crooks At the expense of human life And we still carry on with their plight With every ballot cast We still haven’t confronted the past So get your head out of your ass To find The love that’s deep inside

Alone 02:42
Alone Alone in your space I only want to be in one place with you Who knew? Miles apart I feel my broken heart In my skin I guess I let you in How I ache for you I’m not weak, stronger it’s true I want you, I need you, I can’t wait to see you Back in my arms again Near and far I wonder where you are Bizarre I thought I saw you sitting in my car How I ache for you I’m not weak, stronger it’s true You are the one who I will give my heart to No need to hide because you just see right through I want you, I need you, I can’t wait to see you Back in my arms again

Profound 01:58
Profound Just as I get settled in I hear that grating sound The one that’s there to tell me You’ve come back from town It’s not that I don’t want you around It’s profound Can’t escape We are one in the same And I’m going insane Cause my brain can’t remain In the same place for too long And six months is longer than I’ve ever been in one place Had to face all my demons Every six weeks I do spend Two hours with myself Silence is my good old friend Always there to help It’s not the same when you’re around It’s profound Can’t escape We are one in the same And I’m going insane Cause my brain can’t remain In the same place for too long And six months is longer than I’ve ever been in one place Had to face all my demons

Going 03:05
Going Why didn’t you wear a helmet? It’s part of the protocol I didn’t know I was supposed to Lost in translation with our six foot walls Who are you when you’re not performing? What do you do when no one’s watching? We’ve all had too much time To ponder these questions about our lives Sometimes we wanna numb the pain Curveballs keep coming and we’re going insane Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse On my way to work I saw a hearse Couldn’t help but think it was the covid curse Or was it old age or drug use, there first? Got another call today Grandma stopped her meds ‘cause she’s tired of feeling the pain She died on Thanksgiving Day The world will never quite be the same Who are you when you’re not performing? What do you do when no one’s watch We’ve all had too much time To ponder these questions about our lives Sometimes we wanna numb the pain Curveballs keep coming and we’re going insane We’re going insane And we keep going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going ‘Cause it’s all we got Whether we want to or not

Isn’t It Funny Isn’t it funny how the comfortable Becomes uncomfortable Isn’t it funny how we search for something Becomes nothing Isn’t it funny how we make these plans Becomes undone It’s silly but we still keep searching The sadness creeps in Alone but not lonely So it begins The journey, constantly learning To be in the moment Not somewhere in between That reflection Stares back at me Someone terrified of being seen Isn’t it funny how the mind plays tricks Becomes fiction Isn’t it funny how the world never stops

about

About
Bittersweet was recorded in complete isolation. None of the musicians were ever in the same room but communicated online using a program called LANDR sessions. I chose to record this album virtually as a time capsule to document what it was like to live during the covid-19 pandemic on a farm in Iowa. It is dedicated to my paternal grandmother, Iva, who died on Thanksgiving Day in 2020.
