Hum aloud softly
The words you were always too afraid to say
Walk away slowly
The words they linger the longer you try to stay
It's humbling and haunting
To wait around long enough to hear the same refrain
Uttered from a young man
Weary and sobered by words spoke in vain.
Still it's like a whisper
Coming through the window
Cognitive reception
It's the human condition
Engaging new perceptions
I'm just trying to make the right decisions.
Safe to say I'm biased
When it comes to matters that may lack importance
I could offer my opinion
But it would not suffice in comparison to some justice
Provided if you'd listen
I'd lend myself eagerly demanding more consistence.

New Years Re-Evaluation

Been wrought with guilt for so long now
Over words exchanged I don't even know how
It got like this but still I can't dismiss
Those calloused words I wish I'd never learned
Cause in my head I still know that
Every line I trace leads me straight back
Hypocrisy, the fucked up world I see
All indications that I'm not quite yet free
Or quite possibly, I'm just not meant to be.

Fake It Sacramento, California
Exploring identity, grief, and introspection louder than most neighbors might appreciate.
Fake It recommends:
Caleb is by far one of my favorite songwriters and lyricists. This most recent record shows how endearing songs can be when given space to breathe.

Heaven's Just a Cloud
by SPIRIT WAS
This record was a breath of fresh air at the end of 2021. Both parts heavy and melodic, Heaven's Just a Cloud is an incredible record that sets a mood that I rarely hear in heavier music.

Jail Socks - Coming Down
by Counter Intuitive Records
I did not expect to like this record, but after hearing the opening chords to the first track, I knew it would be a favorite. For fans of 3EB and Basement.
