Collapse / Expand isn't a concept EP, but it is aptly named. Each of these songs survived multiple, heavy reworks and they landed where they are now. The title also comes from the fact that a lot of things seem to be ending or beginning or growing.
lyrics
Make another pivot
I'm right within reach
Not certain I can get it
It won't be easy
Screaming at the thunder
till the voice hurts
Some days I wonder
just what it's all worth
Still got a little ways to go
but I don't wanna wait to know
We've tested the water long enough
Familiar paralysis
of never breaking out of this
I think it's time we step it up
Life's moving fast for all the right reasons
Narrow window to hit the peak season
Now's the time to play our cards
Listen to our restless hearts
Another cold winter
Another wet spring
Another dry July with memories lingering
Soon it'll be autumn
when the lights die down
We're gonna be louder when the new year rolls around
Still got a little ways to go
but I don't wanna wait to know
We've tested the water long enough
Familiar paralysis
of never breaking out of this
I think it's time to step it up
Life's moving fast for all the right reasons
Narrow window to hit the peak season
Now's the time to play our cards
Listen to our restless hearts
Still got a little ways to go
but I don't wanna wait to know
We've tested the waters long enough
Familiar paralysis
of never breaking out of this
No I'm not giving up
I was hearing this over and over back in 2013, made me feel validated when I had depression and severe anxiety. You visiting my home country México for the VConcert event right after the album came out and hearing your music live was a dream come true, what are the odds. Thanks Daniel. zeoal
