Love and survival through complete emotional collapse.
These songs capture the vertigo of trying to connect with others while barely holding yourself together. They document the specific exhaustion of maintaining relationships when your internal world is fragmenting—where affection and dysfunction become indistinguishable, and heroism means just showing up despite the wreckage. Each track maps the strange geometry of caring for someone while actively falling apart.
