times up, times out, a whisper becomes a shout i will be heard, i will say every word forget the way i was taught to behave no need to forgive trust myself, no one else but i got some doubts if i’m being honest what a mess, all the stress thought i had the strength but i think i’ve lost it hold my breath, only yes gotta find the confidence but keep it modest on a quest, no regrets gotta trust myself if I’m being honest (if i’m being honest) turn up, tune in, a revolution will begin stand up, stand tall, attitude says it all must right what’s wrong, i won’t play along no need to forgive trust myself, no one else but i got some doubts if i’m being honest what a mess, all the stress thought i had the strength but i think i’ve lost it hold my breath, only yes gotta find the confidence but keep it modest on a quest, no regrets gotta trust myself if I’m being honest turn up the volume, i will not be quiet freedom’s around the corner, i know i can find it leave the indecision deciding who i am leave the hesitation, i think i should i think i can trust myself, i think i can trust myself, i think i can trust myself, no one else but i got some doubts if i’m being honest what a mess, all the stress thought i had the strength but i think i’ve lost it hold my breath, only yes gotta find the confidence but keep it modest on a quest, no regrets gotta trust myself if I’m being honest (if i’m being honest)

(okay, i’m ready, okay i’m really ready now) sometimes i feel i’m at a loss for words i hear it in my head but it comes out blurred tongue-tied to find, tongue-tied to find what’s on my mind if you only knew that the only thing i know is here between us i’m still holding strong even if my mouth can’t speak up i know i got it in my heart, i'm still holding strong i know i got it in my heart, even if my mouth can't speak up (okay, let me try again) i know the things to say to make it right but knowing and doing are like day and night tongue-tied to find, tongue-tied to find what’s on my mind if you only knew that the only thing i know is here between us i’m still holding strong even if my mouth can’t speak up i know i got it in my heart, i'm still holding strong i know i got it in my heart, even if my mouth can't speak up is saying nothing better than saying it wrong is seeming weak really being strong is saying something better than nothing at all is taking a leap worth taking the fall i know i got it in my heart, i'm still holding strong i know i got it in my heart, even if my mouth can't speak up (was that it?)

hello fear, you are my home you’re all that i know hello weakness, you make me strong you’re writing this song don’t lose sleep but don’t sleep too long cause everything that’s right is everything that’s wrong the faster i move the slower i go the more that I learn the less that I know cause i’m younger than my future, i’m older than my past ’m coming in first, i’m coming out last undo, undo, undoing goodbye arrogance, you are my leash you’re nothing i need goodbye answers, you’re nothing but questions i won’t invest in don’t lose sleep but don’t sleep too long cause everything that’s right is everything that’s wrong the faster i move the slower i go the more that i learn the less that i know cause i'm younger than my future, i'm older than my past i’m coming in first, i'm coming out last undo, undo, undoing (and i’m coming out last) undo, undo, undoing (and i’m coming out last)

about

this is the first fully self-produced collection of songs we’ve put out, and it feels incredibly full circle to get to share them with you in these reimagined, revamped ways.

these three songs, “trust (a whisper)”, “speak (a whisper)”, and “undo (a whisper)” were originally conceived as rather intimate songs but became more highly produced in the studio during the making of our album. and while we love how the songs evolved to be, we wanted to also honor these tunes for what we feel they are at their core: whisper songs.

this is our nod to saying bold things quietly, to turning the answer into the question. all song and album titles are lower case, all imagery is self-made. this is our effort to understate the more overstated songs off our record, to whisper the shouts, one word and note at a time, directly from us to you.
