you never owned me, right? you never owned my rights you're bastards by nature you're clapping but this is just another song about human tragedy that you face, human tragedy you can't erase she still feels pain, you seek more gain, she can't feel again you salt her wound, i won't see you, i won't lose scars, scars her face was covered in scars i was once scared for the future, now i repent for my past yet we've created this world in our heads it's far less frightening you've sealed my wounds, i can feel you, i can hear you i can love again, i can die again, i can live

Serendipity 03:40
serendipity never meant a thing to me apologies what you said, what you did always hurt deep inside like how i said how i didn't care when i couldn't give a damn about you i thought i did like you said you would mediocrity you always told me to put my best efforts in i thought i was, you said i was just fine or did you just lie like you always did? like you said we were once friends i'm never talking to you again you're a parasite, you thought you just might again

Old Friend 01:46
you're completely lost, you need some help yet refuse to obtain it your mouth is dried for your words cannot buy you any luck to this world you say no one cares, but no one would even dare to listen but the truth is they do i'll call you selfish, i'll call you lost, i'll call you insane, i'll call you scared but don't you dare say i never cared i stood right next to you when no one else would yet you pushed me away my words you refuse to obey but one day you'll regret denying what i say when i see you lay dead on the floor

i could hear the vibrations from your brain as they knocked me out and concussed me and all i keep on thinking, all i keep on asking was "was he tasteless or was it just the sin?" going back to that time reminds me of descending from the planet we call grief what time does the sun come up? i'm not even sure anymore i've never seen the world outside of where i've been you're disconnecting, he's disconnecting, please stop disconnecting from me she told me that the thunder sounded just like the bombs that hit back home that hit the misplaced theaters it's not an excuse, its a justification hopefully one day i can be your nostalgia missing boy, 1985 your music's good but you just sound like everybody else in this scene we havent spoke in months but your songs still put me to sleep where capitalism meets creativity, is it still a dangerous place to be? she saw no stars in the sky for weeks

i watched you die a thousand times in your head if i apologized for everything that i said, i'd rather be found dead in some stranger's bed and i'm so sorry for what i've said to you, what i've done to you, and what you've done to me what did he say, baby, what did he say? why can't he call when he's always away? what can't you stay, oh why can't you stay? why can't he call when he's all MIA? if you don't wanna leave her, then don't leave her if you feel trapped then boy, don't you look back but goddamn if you were to let me talk i'd have stories to tell and if you cut up my insides i bet they would as well she doesn't know a language besides manipulation and retaliation it's chewing gum and hunting rabbits all over again, my dear what did he say, baby, what did he say? why can't he call when he's always away? what can't you stay, oh why can't you stay? why can't he call when he's all MIA? you watched me die two thousand more times in your head and i'm not sorry for what i've said to you, what i've done to you, and what you've done to me it was all oh so genuine so please just let me in what did he say, baby, what did he say? why can't he call when he's always away? what can't you stay, oh why can't you stay? why can't he call when he's all MIA? you touched me to cry a thousand more times in my head and he's so sorry for what he's said to you, what he'll do to you, and what he's done to me

about

These are excerpts from various times in my life. In a way, this EP is a bit of my own memoir or an autobiography. Yes, this has taken longer than it was supposed to, but it was all worth it in the end. Courage Mother began as a result of me losing all faith within myself but overtime gaining the courage (haha nice) to start back up on my own. These are excerpts from my life. This is Excerpts From She.


Special Thanks:

Jen drove 2 hours from Maryland to record this EP and for that I gotta give her props. We recorded the whole thing in my bedroom in 2 separate days but somehow Jen still made it work. Thanks so much, you're the best.

If it wasn't for Finn, I would've never began in music. You've supported me through every single project and even though sometimes you can't make it to all the shows, I still appreciate the fuck out of you.

I'm especially thankful for my parents. Had they not risked everything they owned to come to the U.S., I would've never gained the opportunities or met the amazing people that I have.

Following the ending of a previous local project in 2017, Courage Mother was a project that originated from the desire to overcome. Their songs typically are very high in intensity, structurally adventurous, and lyrically address situations of trauma and growth. ... more
