I don't know if we can survive That don't mean we will not try Sanctuary slowly morphs to Prison wards in record time Lean on what uplifts you most And this could be your great escape Lean on what keeps you alive And this could be your greatest day

All we ever did was stumble But it never made us crumble It only made us humble types We knew something had to give One day, things actually did We found our wings, we learned to fly We conquered our fear of heights We thought we were alone And told ourselves we were on our own Because the world had told us so Survived the lion's den Turned our enemies to friends Made this prison our new home All we needed To survive this universe That thrives upon the worst Was to know we aren't alone All we needed To survive this universe That thrives upon the worst Was to know we are not alone You found your home with me

Know Me 03:42
I've been fine Trying to keep from running wild You probably didn't ask Spend my time trying to organize my mind You think that's an easy task? You can never know me if I can never know me You can never know me (2x) PEachy keen Things are always what it seems The most comfortable of lies It's all a game And I'm trying to explain and maintain It's how I get by I Don't mean to seem so cold Didn't mean to make you go I know you want inside my mind I say you're better off not trying You can never know me if I can never know me You can never know me (4x)

We've come so far, yet so far away I could explain, but what's there to say? Carelessly choose our hill on which to die Now, who's going to dry your eyes You said this life is not a story But you're waiting for the end I wish there was a clue I'd give one straight to you But I can't

about

So,it has come to my attention that it has been 10 years since the very first project that I dropped.

When I put out my album Awkward Stage, I was hungry to be a songwriter. I wanted to sing, write songs, do more than just make instrumental music, which I had been doing before learning to be a singer. The problem was that I was incredibly shy when it came to singing. My performance anxiety was horrible, and you can kinda hear it in my old EP, which I encourage you to hear before or after you hear Awkward Grace.

In between time, I wrote more instrumentals, learned to produce music, learned to write better songs, learned to steady my vocals better, I overcame both performance anxiety and a deep depression, recorded multiple projects that you see in between that time, and had my music reviewed on multiple sites, including Afropunk.

I shed my old name Lightning Pill and decided the next step was to just ditch the idea of having an alter-ego and give you unadulterated me. I couldn't have done that WITHOUT going through performance transformations.

Anyway, Awkward Grace is a short EP that I threw together wrapped around the lone Android recording that I didn't throw on my With a Quickness 2 mixtape. It features the most recent songs I had written, and to say this is a slight litmus test to what might come in the future isn't too far-fetched, but I do plan for future recordings to be more "refined" in performance and, hopefully, production. Time will tell.

For now, I am just dropping a 4-song EP to celebrate me having gotten from writing songs in my bedroom at my mom's house to writing in a bedroom at my house. Progression is the name of the game, and I hope you saw that I have made plenty!
