Old Frame 03:52
THE OLD HOUSE LOOKS QUIET WHERE IT STANDS - UNTOUCHED FOR EIGHT MONTHS, AND NOW, A YEAR. A CROOKED FRAME HANGS ABOVE THE STAIRS - WINDOWS OPEN. ‘CAUSE I KEEP COMING BACK, LIKE A GHOST AT THE EDGE OF THE BED. MY MEMORY’S FADING. MY MEMORIES FADED. MY CHILDHOOD STREET WENT DARK FOR HALLOWEEN. THE SIDEWALK SEEMS FAMILIAR BUT STRANGE TO ME.

I am drifting away again to frightful places - ignoring the signs, in bed with the laugh track from reruns of sitcoms. I am caught in a spell again - it was cast with my back turned. People matter and they're all I need to think of. Nothing ends how it starts. Drove Northwest to catch the leaves - I think they changed while I was asleep. I'll spend hours on my feet. My car stalled an hour from Kent. I drift back to frightful places. At least I hope by now that nothing ends how it starts, so here's another first. World from word I say, "I'm waiting for the loop to break." Nothing ends how it starts.

Still 02:56
I held my breath for the ride to Greenpoint where we skipped in a daze 'till someone called us spaced out for putting stickers on the signs. I slept 5 minutes late for work and stood calmly at your window. As the clouds moved in by the river's edge, we felt the light. So can I be still? Take in the breeze in around me like when we were still on youthful days I slept through. We were so still before my life took over. I'll see what I was missing. Maybe there is peace somewhere when Happy Hour ends, making circles in your back lot as you hold flowers in your hands. Holding our breath for a time, or some kind of phase - out on the shore in the hottest month of summer. Still. Let the breeze surround me. I'll see what I was missing.

Hey! I am starting to think that I am the problem - f****d up forever, caught in the autumn. I traded my youth for a list of symptoms and stopped at the trail bend when I left through the garden. I'm so close, crawling on all fours, connecting threads from home. Looks like I got where I wanted, but I lost my love in the process. There's frost on the pavement. Yeah, I'll fix what I can while I follow the blazes on trees that are fading fast. Now I'm so close, crawling on all fours, connecting threads and losing daylight. Looks like I got where I wanted, but I lost my love in the garden. So I got where I wanted, but I lost myself in the process. I just lost myself in the process. And I'm so close. Found some power lines through backyards, filled up on coffee. The caffeine gets old. Yeah I am the problem.

Stuck 03:11
It's tough to admit that the decade is gone. I spotted a clearing from a cliff and now I'm stuck at the top. Keep saying the ending might be fine when I'm tangled up in orange lights. Am I just holding space? I'm stuck in the same place. I move on without moving forward. Am I just taking shape? I'm stuck in the same place. I move on without moving forward. I've got four years left 'till I have to pull it together in basements, while scrolling forever, and stopping to ask...

Developed over eight years on the Appalachian Trail and in cars, cafes, & bedrooms across CT, the Frightful Places EP is the Emo passion project of Kevin Tiernan (Mighty Tortuga, Moving Brooklyn). The band name comes from the idea that you should experience the things that frighten you.
