The opening track was inspired by sunlight’s annoying tendency to make its way to your face, early most mornings. The song starts with an accessible, familiar sound to introduce the EP to the listener and slowly progresses into existential and intellectual territory, as the music takes an unconventional turn.  

lyrics

Reaching out
Through every crack in my window,
The sun’s come out
After all these hours of laying low.

The dreamless sleep I always knew,
Is not mine anymore.
It’s time to face the rising blue
Of the day that’s in store.

My feet are on the ground below
But my head’s still far from clear.
Do I believe all the things I know?
Or am I just happy to be here?

As sure as our world circles the sun,
And the hours turn into days,
Someone’s dusk is another’s dawn,
And the warmth is all that stays.

They say that the truth will set you free,
Lay your heart to rest, put your mind at ease.
But who’s to say that this is to be,
And who are we trying so hard to please?

Who are we trying so hard to please?

Who are we trying so hard to be?
