Waste 03:26
Who am I to decide? Who lives and who dies? I will choose a side. For, greater good of all. I must heed the call, or we’ll likely fall. Waste of space, are you deserving? Of this race? What am I saying? I cannot be the one who will hold the gun, still I must confront - Us, all playing the god, all fucking you up, physically and not. Wait! Went and changed my mind, this is justified, let me have a try! Now, pulling the trigger, who would've figured, we are murderers? WASTE! Waste of space, are you deserving? Of this race? What am I saying? Waste of space, are you deserving? Of this race? Are you deserving?! Waste of space, are you deserving? Of this race? No!!!

Salir 04:20
Encajonado, en un lugar. En círculo ando. Estoy! Encerrado, No hay salida, Espero que veo una pronto! Yo quiero salir! Yo quiero salir! Pero yo no puedo ir... Yo quiero salir! Yo quiero salir! Pero yo no puedo ir... No sé cómo voy aguantar! Yo quiero salir! Yo quiero salir! Pero yo no puedo ir... Lo mismo de siempre. Tanto ganas tengo, Pero solo puedo soñar. Juzgan cada vez. Todos con miedo. No podemos intentar? Yo quiero salir! Yo quiero salir! Pero yo no puedo ir... Yo quiero salir! Yo quiero salir! Pero yo no puedo ir... No sé cómo voy aguantar! Yo quiero salir! Yo quiero salir! Pero yo no puedo ir! No puedo ir! No quiero salir, No quiero salir, Es que ya no vale ir. No quiero salir, No quiero salir, Ya no hay modo de vivir... English Translation: Boxed in, inside a place. In circles I go. I am! Locked in. There's no exit. I hope I see one soon. I want to get out, I want to get out, but I can't go! I want to get out, I want to get out, but I can't go! I don't know how I'll hold on! I want to get out, I want to get out, but I can't go! The same as always. I have such a desire, but I can only dream. They judge me every time, everyone's with fear. Can't we try? I want to get out, I want to get out, but I can't go! I want to get out, I want to get out, but I can't go! I don't know how I'll hold on! I want to get out, I want to get out, but I can't go! I can't go!!!! Don't want to get out, I don't want to get out, it doesn't matter now. Don't want to get out, I don't want to get out, there's no way to live now.

Apology 04:46
How can I prove my apology? Consequences that I face. Even after my apology, I still feel incomplete. Why is that? I must be my own enemy and, Constantly berate my integrity? Why can’t I be free from the fear in me? Can I please just prove my apology? Waiting on the text that ends it all. We shall see how to proceed. Even after waiting long enough, will you take it seriously? Why is that? I must be my own enemy and, Constantly berate my integrity? Why can’t I be free from the fear in me? Can I please just prove my apology? How can I prove my apology? Consequences that I face. Even after my apology, I still feel incomplete. Why is that? I must be my own enemy and, Constantly berate my integrity? Why can’t I be free from the fear in me? Can I please just prove my apology? Can I please just prove my apology? Can I please just prove my apology?

Everyday, it’s the same dreaded feeling. Anyway, I aim to create a sense of being. Being the inconvenience! Being the inconvenience! I don’t see a purpose as to why, how I’m standing you! I don’t see a purpose as to why, how I’m standing you! Fuck your say!!! I don’t cater to neo-nazis!!! To portray other ways, you can catch these... Hands to your face! Hands to your face! I don’t see a purpose as to why, how I’m standing you! I don’t see a purpose as to why, how I’m standing you!

about

The word "Subsist" means to have existence, endure, survive, etc. That's something all of us can relate to when it comes to the pandemic years. Creating this EP was a monumental effort in working multiple jobs, EARLY mornings at the studio and the power of friendship and human-hood. Each song here communicates the struggles I personally faced throughout this pandemic, as well as societal problems within this era.

The artwork is inspired by the cover of Eric LaRocca's book "Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke", which was done by Kim Jakobsson.

This has been in the works since summer of 2021. I'm so grateful to everyone who has helped me out with this EP, as well as those who were waiting patiently for this release!
