well I can't help but think about... how did things end up this way? I mean are we on our way out, or is this just the break of day? I just want to communicate so much to say for all our plans and for how we relate to that which is out of our hands I am learning what it means to be you I hope this is not the last time I see you for we are so quickly swept away along with all the heavens have reclaimed in rock faces and in the dust there is a message just for us soon swept away by wind and waves along with all the heavens have reclaimed I am learning what it means to be you I hope this is not the last time I see you for we are so quickly swept away along with all the heavens have reclaimed

if I could then I would tell you that I trust you and I'm trying no one's ever been honest with me to be honest if I could then I would tell you that I love you and I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying you ever get the feeling that nobody gets it? nobody gets it! certainly not me! you ever get the feeling that nobody's out there, nobody's in here, nobody's home? certainly not me! and I'm trying to be honest (seems risky) you ever get the feeling that nobody gets it? nobody gets it! certainly not me! you ever get the feeling that nobody's out there, nobody's in here, nobody's home? certainly not me! if I could then I would tell you that I trust you and I'm trying no one's ever been honest with me to be honest if I could then I would tell you that I love you and I'm trying to be honest (seems risky)

Can't Hang 03:12
I feel like a fool for letting myself open up again I don't want to believe that was a big mistake but I see plenty of evidence everyone leaves me hangin hangin, hangin on and I, I just can't hang been hangin way too long I, I just can't hang hangin, hangin on I, I just can't hang been hangin way too long take all of your nice thoughts of me and store them in a tiny mason jar so you will have something that you can forget about when I can no longer play the part

Dreamsboutu 03:16
if I could stop having dreams about you then I would but I just can't even though I should cuz I like the way that holding you close to me feels even though the feeling's barely real if I could stop feeling anything I probly would but I just can't and that's probly good cuz not feeling anything was going to drive me insane there's relief even in the pain there's relief, relief even in the pain even in the pain even in the pain

Barbs 04:47
passing days are adorned with moth & rust & barbs & thorns cobwebs in the corners silent, still in disorder who could ask for more dim light just subtly showing where warmth may be still glowing who could ask for more? another day, another scar I've got one for every little star amongst all of the distant lights shining in the depths of night that's all so far dim lights just subtly glowing all we got so far it's been so long since you were near why don't you wait another year then maybe you'll reach out just to tell me what it meant to you I'm sure I'll still be here with the cobwebs in the corners silent, still in disorder two ghosts walk on the beach at night cold wind, eyes reflect moonlight and I've disappeared a dim light just subtly glowing already disappeared

I wouldn't take your grief from you even if I could grief is how we show our love when we lose something good and I think it says a lot of good that we still feel bad I know that's not a lot it's almost all I have and it means a lot to know that you're out there and we're sailing on the same dark sea as much as I would truly love to know you better right now I just want to thank you Just for being on the same planet as me I can feel you out there there is a non-zero chance I'm not who you thought maybe I even am and that's just not what you want and it's possible that you and I are really just ships passing in the night upon the ocean surface blending seamlessly to sky and it means a lot to know that you're out there and we're sailing on the same dark sea as much as I would truly love to know you better right now I just want to thank you just for being on the same planet as me I can feel you out there

more tales than can be told have been washed away by time I can only hope that where I go I leave lovely tracks behind at the end of my proverbial day I will have left the world a better place could there by any higher purpose anyway some of the things that I feel I might not ever get to show (anybody) some of the things that weigh on my mind baby, you don't want to know (yeah probly) but if I do this right, you might say that I shined so bright before I passed away could there by any higher purpose anyway at the end of my proverbial day I will have left the world a better place could there by any higher purpose anyway

somebody told me songs about love just aren't cosmic enough, but even celestial somebodies have lovers the Earth met a silver Moon that would be a little spoon and they never drift too far from each other Earth never says, "I'm still trying to find what I like why don't you go and chill with Mars for the night? some other heavenly body come and rise my tides make it more chaotic so I know I'm alive," no, she says, "you fit perfectly around my waist I'm so happy to see your shining face I'm so glad that you found me keep spinnin around me it's so good to trust somebody in the vastness of space, yes" just like that, she says, "let your heavenly body come and rise my tides" when I am lookin at the stars every time I look away I end up turning back to look again it's not that I forgot where they are or that I think I won't see them later it's just that I can't exactly tell you when and the moonlight that still shines in the eye of my mind after I walk inside keeps on callin me to step out and look up high again just like how when we say goodbye the after-image of your smile quickly makes me wish I could see it with my eyes again I never wanna say I'm still trying to find what I like why don't you go and kick it somewhere else for the night? some other heavenly body come and rise my tides make it more chaotic so I know I'm alive no you fit perfectly inside my embrace I'm so happy to see your shining face I'm so glad that you found me keep spinnin around me it's so good to trust somebody in the vastness of space yes let your heavenly body come and rise my tides

about

Here are some very personal songs, most of which feature vocals, guitar, and keys (in some form or another). Some of these tunes have developed incrementally over the course of years, while others happened very quickly and have only existed for weeks or months at the time of this release.

Thank you for listening!

about

Erothyme Colorado

The Erothyme sound is a majestic blend of overblown hyperbole and meaningless adjectives that actually have nothing to do with music. His tracks land in your ear like a dolphin gracefully diving into the surface of the ocean after doing a triple backflip in front of the setting sun. Some people think that Erothyme doesn't be like he is, but he do. ... more
