about

King of Hearts was originally written when I was 14 years-old as an early experimentation with non-linear imagery. The lyrics weaves in and out of narrative abstraction, exploring themes of dependence, suicide, and intervention.

lyrics

I know you walked across the bridge,
I bet you counted every step,
Left your house at 5 AM
Pretty clear you haven’t slept

You’ve got stories for your scars
But I can see you the lies you tell
Paper cuts from playing cards
You bleed out in your sterile cell

Drawing boxes on the subway
Draw your sword and lay it down
Draw your king of hearts
If your life is a deck of cards
But you don’t need to wear his crown

Sneak out to the roof with you
I watch you screaming at the world
You close the door to ignorance
And open up to insecure

You say you're falling out of touch
and running out of steam
It takes a lot to cross a bridge
And not go swimming in the stream

Drawing boxes on the subway
Draw your sword and lay it down
Draw your king of hearts
If your life is a deck of cards
But you don’t need to wear his crown
