You Know 03:14
Trying your best now Still feel like a let down Was it enough, what it was? Who’s to judge? Maybe you wanted Something and you got it Is it enough, what it is? Do you wish It was easy Easy as calling out 1 2 3 Knowing what’s gonna make you happy What’s gonna make you whole? But it’s okay Okay things get in the way You don’t have to be sure always You don’t When you put it together You’re feeling light as a feather And life is better than ever And in your head You know, you know, you know Then you’re stuck at a red light And it’s that same feeling you can’t find If there’s one thing in this life It’s when you think You know, you know, you know You don’t You don’t Nothing is certain What wasn’t working Isn’t the end of the world No You try to keep up with What you ran out of love with But don’t waste your time Take it slow It’s not easy Easy as calling out 1 2 3 Knowing what’s gonna make you happy What’s gonna make you whole But it’s okay Okay things get in the way You don’t have to be sure always You don’t When you put it together You’re feeling light as a feather And life is better than ever And in your head You know, you know, you know Then you’re stuck at a red light And it’s that same feeling you can’t find If there’s one thing in this life It’s when you think You know, you know, you know You don’t You don’t You don’t It’s when you think It’s when you think You don’t It’s when you think You know, you know, you know You d-

Is someone there, someone new, someone who can see Someone to show me around I’m on my knees but there ain’t no bringing me down I miss the friends and the fields and the evergreens They turn my ear to the sound I know we can make it home if you stay right here with me now Two days in and I’m falling I need a hit of anything Something that can take my pain away Call my name and hold me close I only hope somebody knows That there’s just nowhere to go When you’re not on top of the world It plays in my head what you said when you looked at me As both a foe and a friend I got water and a bridge if you come back here in the end Three days in with no sleep and too many hits too many sins Nothing here can chain these fears away Bring me near and hold me close I only hope somebody knows That there’s just nowhere to go when You’re not on top of the world, yeah Oh, oh woah Oh, yeah Oh, oh woah Oh Oh, oh woah Oh, yeah Oh, oh woah Oh

Here at last it’s like a dream No more suspense but no relief Like seeing, like sleeping like the air we breathe Could sit here and watch you until the lights had all gone out Innocence is all but gone The way we were is moving on Where were you? Where are you? God where have you gone Now I fall asleep to the sound of you waking up Darkness is catching, swallowing whole The light that lasts, that won’t let go Where were you, where are you? God where have you gone? Now I fall asleep the sound of you waking up

Too Far 06:45
I’ve caught you thinking of somebody you might never find I’m drinking in the love of someone divine, someone right (Whatever happened, I missed you all day) Too many exits during the night Not even a resurrection will get me right One way to go there to see who we are Too bad it’s too far Too far Too far (Whatever happened, I missed you all day) I’m always dreaming of escaping this cell of a mind When all the stars above deliver their light to the blind (Whatever happened, I pushed you away) Too many exits during the night Not even a resurrection will get me right One way to go there to see who we are Too bad it’s too far Too bad it’s too Too bad it’s too far Too bad it’s too Too bad it’s too far I know, I know, I know, I know, I know (Too bad it’s too) I don’t know (Too bad it's too) I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I don’t know Somebody to love Somebody (some) Somebody to love Some (with you) Body to love Some (with you) Some (with you) Body to love

Estudio 05:04
I’m locked in a studio I’ve got nowhere else to go Time stopped by a lunar glow Life in pianissimo I’m locked in estudio Scripted like a tv show Eye-rattling adagio Blood as slow as a lava flow Get up! Go! You’ve gotta party oh, woah Get up! Go! You’ve gotta party-o (at the studio) Get up! Go! You’ve gotta party oh, woah Get up! Go! You’ve gotta party-o (at the studio) I see through your visage Deep into the plumage Give me something I can consume I warned you on the uptake You could have the same fate But you had to try your ace I’m locked in estudio I’ve got nowhere else to go Walls falling like Jericho Isn’t how it’s supposed to go I spoke with the CEO He said “That info is need-to-know” So sick of this status quo Now I wait for the overthrow Get up! Go! You’ve gotta party oh, woah Get up! Go! You’ve gotta party-o (at the studio!) Get up! Go! You’ve gotta party oh, woah Get up! Go! You’ve gotta party-o (at the studio) Throw throw throw throw Throw throw throw throw throw Throw throw throw throw Throw Oh yooo, woah, oh You will not be my studio no mo'

about

This brief sequence parallels an experience as both a performer and a cancer survivor. Across 2016 - 2021 I was convinced I was going to die of cancer only to turn out as a viral artist. I received more positive attention and resources than I knew how to process. Following that, my reality dimmed heavily. Meaning began to disappear and gravity shifted. Combined with unchecked childhood abuse, these events formed an opening through which I could outline answers. I consider GEM a personal memoir and an armature on which to hang your own experiences.
