Emo Side Project

—Stolen Bike (Owen)

I found this Owen cover (which is actually a Bruce Springsteen cover itself) I did about 5 years ago. it made me really sad because I listened to it and remember I recorded it on one of the saddest days of my life and I can really hear it in my voice and I remember crying while recording this

I found this article about ESP that was published in a magazine ages and ages ago. it was cool to read what my 16 year old self had to say about everything and see that my outlook on making music hasn&#8217;t really changed and that i&#8217;m still 100% the same nerd.if you can&#8217;t read the image click here

which last.fm tag for ESP is your favorite?

which last.fm tag for ESP is your favorite?

so Emo Side Project is a genre oxymoron aka minimalistic math rock aka blowing minds 24/7

remember when I covered my favorite pop songs and it was amazing and I blew your mind then you lost your voice because you sang too hard with me?????????????????????/

I’m so tired of everything in my life.
breathing’s a chore and sleeping’s a habit.
I’m inconvenienced by love.
I know that it’s useless,
but I’m just a hypocrite who needs it.

so when I push you away,
I really want you closer.
when I’m sitting in silence,
I want to talk for hours.
when I stare at the ground,
I’m thinking of your eyes.
when I retreat to my bed for days,
I want you to crawl in and rescue me.

I am so afraid of being alone.
but at this point I’m more afraid that I’m used to it.

ok this is the last one for today!!! i hope everyone had fun and laughed!




for you anything!!!

Lyrics:

the world is a beautiful place and i am no longer afraid
to write a song about the fact that Derrick hasn’t eaten anything today
but he had a gin and tonic
that reminds me of the Joan of Arc song “Gin and Platonic
Derrick is super cool. super super super cool.
go buy stuff from Broken World media.




HEY CHELSEA I WROTE THIS SONG ABOUT YOU. IT’S PRETTY GOOD.

Lyrics:

as we walk into the night
you kissed me and it felt right
all the lights followed closely behind
it’s you and i who will hold out till the morning light

maybe it’s your kiss, and your touch
that makes me want you more than love
all the lights followed closely behind
it’s you and i who will hold out till the morning light

after the moment with you

as we ran from the night
you held me when it felt right
all the lights went straight to your eyes
it’s you and i who will hold out till the morning light

maybe it’s your kiss, and your touch
that makes me want you more than love
all the lights followed closely behind
it’s you and i who will hold out till the morning light

after the moment, with you

hey Erin! tumblr says I hit my audio upload limit for the day, but they’re dumb and I just uploaded this to soundcloud! I love swimming outside so much! <3

Lyrics:

it’s best to swim outside
sometimes with clothes off
just bathe yourself in night sky and cool breeze
and let the water be the cure for what haunts you

chile

hahaha ok i don’t know you that well so this is pretty awkward but i get an A+ for effort, right?

Lyrics:

i doubt we’ll ever meet because you live in Chile
i hope i pronounced that right
apparently we have a lot in common
i guess we both like to cry a lot
but that’s ok
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

mice eggs

ummmmmm. this is weird, but ok!

Lyrics:

imagine a world where mice laid eggs.
what if the eggs were bigger than them and they couldn’t keep ‘em warm?
and would people eat them?
or would there be a law against it?
probably not.

alec

dude i miss you and hope i get to see you soon. i started to write a song about how mysterious you were but something just came over me and this came out instead:

Lyrics:

there’s this kid named Alec
i’ve only one thing to say about him:
“there is no happy here. there is no happy here. there is no happy here.”
there is no happy anywhere.
(sorry, i was Half Awake when i wrote that song)
*rimshot*


drinking

i feel you bro!!

Lyrics:

i shouldn’t be drinking alone
but the urge to pick up the phone
is draining me and consequently
i shotgun a beer and go back to bed
stare at the walls and i wish was dead
then wake in the morning
and repeat the routine again


Gerard

Gerard, enjoy this one! I think you’ll find it pretty silly <3

Lyrics:

Gerard, next year you should take your band on tour
maybe that will get Tigers Jaw to reunite
cause i couldn’t fake a smile to save my life
but i hope you can fake it through next year
or find someone who can hold you close
so you don’t have to fake it

(like a cat)


cats

Bao, see if this works for you! you get the first one because you’re amazing. <3

Lyrics:

why would someone want to fuck or fall in love when you could cuddle up to a cat?
they’re better than humans. that’s a fact.
i could have 100 cats or so and it still wouldn’t be enough.
drown me in fur and constant purring .
cats are better than people x4
i am the queen of cats
and if you question that
you can answer to my fist.
