V1: but for the shattered glass that splays around me / what has happened here? was it a long-form instance of the classic / accidental tear? but for the great impact they must have seen me / in some tragic fear as for the far-flung repercussions, darling / we aren't even there (YET) CH: i remember the river / i remember the water i remember nothing else / the rest is in pieces pieces, pieces, pieces! Pieces, pieces, pieces, PIECES! V2: instinct can hardly be relied on / if you want to get out now no trust in anything but what you see / if this is your true route and should the floor fall out from under you / i cannot promise life but it should go without saying that / i will always try to fight (THEM) [CH] OUTRO: The rest is in pieces, pieces, pieces, pieces, pieces! Pieces, pieces, pieces, PIECES! PIECES, PIECES, PIECES, PIECES!

V3: this is my easy closing song / just in case i don't get anything else done this is my easy closing song / and you probably hope i don't sing it all day long OUTRO: nah, na-nah, na-nah, na-nah, nah

about

This year for RPM, my album concept followed my real life: I moved across the country halfway through the month. The first half was recorded in my hometown, with several of my friends contributing musically. Track 6, in the middle, was conceptualized on the road, and the rest of the album was written and recorded after arriving at my destination. Thus, I kept the tracks in order of recording, to preserve the two halves.
