People ask me why I’d make a full length album nowadays. Here’s what I have to say:
LYRICS:
When I wake up the morning and I feel like I’ve been sleeping for like most of my adult life
All I really do in my music is talk about my ghosts and demons I don’t need Quentin Miller for me to ghost write
I always told myself I’d get over you and move on
But now that I didn’t
Nothing is ever as monumental
As everything once was
When I finally got down
To the bottom of everything
There and was buried in the bare minimum plot twist
The plot thickens
And finally I can stop thinking
Of you.
And then my heart sinks with no ropes to roam home
And then the dark brings my old soul in so close
And then I start thinking I should talk slow cuz it’s a long road
And all I need is 3:16s to do you Stone Cold
All I need is
An empty parking lot metropolis
And a pair of broken headphones that I’ve been rocking with
A couple friends to back me up — you know how bad my posture is
This is how you make a career, you damn hobbyists
Everybody’s asking “Dylan, what’d you make an album for?”
Thirteen tracks, man that’s thirteen tracks too long
I’ll grow my hair out and I won’t cut my album short
Show me one soundcloud rapper I can’t outperform
I would never let my twenties end without a roar
That’s what I made this album for.
Shoutout to Colton Williams who is insanely talented and filmed this in my apartment on a hot summer day in NYC. Shoutout to Nate Sander who you hear on the trumpet and Gabe Valle who you hear on the acoustic guitar. These guys are going to be touring with me in the spring time once Holes In Our Stories drops! March 1st…it all starts.
