RheDYn griFFiN ⚧ Although I’m comfortable with my slacker way of life, as long as I’m there for those important to me I have my purpose in life. These songs comfort me and help me know what I’m doing is okay. That the past three years as the real me have made me happier than ever and I’m allowed to feel that way x Favorite track: Something Worth Staying For (Optimism).

I wake up in your bed, in your home, in your town I am really quite the pessimist these days and if tonight I stay here tomorrow I might run away Don’t blame yourself, there’s nothing anyone could do to make me stay Cuz I’ve got problems, I’ve got problems keeping myself in one place you have a life in this town I have a life moving around I’ve got problems, I’ve got problems, I’ve got problems I am really quite the pessimist these days I’ll move along, I’ll run away There’s nothing I can say I’ll build you up and let you down It’s fucked but I don’t know how to change One day you’ll wake up and I’ll be gone Cuz with me nothing lasts that long I fall asleep and I can hear the sound of your heart beating near mine beats a little bit off tempo if you take a part of yourself and share it with somebody else you’d better make goddamn sure that they deserve it Cuz I’ve got problems, I’ve got problems loving anybody else put your trust in me and I will always let you down I’ve got problems, I’ve got problems, I’ve got problems I am really quite the pessimist these days I’ll move along, I’ll run away There’s nothing I can say I’ll build you up and let you down It’s fucked but I don’t know how to change One day you’ll wake up and I’ll be gone Cuz with me nothing lasts that long I wake up in your bed, in your home, in your life and I am really just a guest here and I’ve hear that relationships take work but I’m unemployed and I am really quite the pessimist these days

There’s nothing wrong with being pessimistic sometimes but I can’t feel this way for all of my life there’s nothing wrong with running away but if I find something worth staying for I hope I’ll stay and I’ll stay if that’s okay with you It’s probably a bad idea to go jumping in the deep end but here I am and I’m in the deep end so I’ll hold my breath ‘til I sink or swim I might end up broken but I think it’s worth the risk I said I’d never write a love song but singing sad songs all the time is kind of exhausting so I guess this is a love song cherish it cuz it doesn’t happen often I’ve spent the last few months alone but not lonely I don’t need anyone to make me happy I thought my crushes would keep me warm throught the winter if it gets too cold I’ve got blankets and a sweater but you warm me from the inside, yes you do so I’ll stay until I’ve seen this through If there’s one thing that I’ve found, traveling around It’s that all cities are beautiful, it just depends on who you know and I’ve made a million friends but there’s noone like you anywhere else that I’ve been I’m scared and I don’t know what to do but I’ll stay until I’ve seen this through I said I’d never write a love song but singing sad songs all the time is kind of exhausting so I guess this is a love song cherish it cuz it doesn’t happen often cherish it cuz it doesn’t happen often and I’ll cherish you cuz I don’t feel this way often

lets play pretend, tell me you’re jealous of the way that I live and I’ll be the idealist, as if the things that I wanted are the things that I did like 11,000 miles in four months was a tour not just running away like if I really wanted to, I could be a functional human being like I could find a job, cuz honestly who would hire me like I could make her happy, how stupid would I have to be to believe that? Everyone seems like they’re walking in a straight line I’m just playing musical cities by myself pretending this could ever be a success Everyone seems like they’re walking in a straight line I’m just playing musical cities by myself deluded into believing that I could ever “make it” Let's start a trend, where everyone’s honest with everyone else to tell you the truth, if I could sell out that’s what I’d do I don’t wanna be rich but it would be nice to have some funds in the bank if music is all the I’m good at, is it so awful to wanna get paid? when it seems like the only alternative is washing dishes for minimum wage is it so terrible to wanna play on a slightly bigger stage? Everyone seems like they’re walking in a straight line I’m just playing musical cities by myself pretending this could ever be a success Everyone seems like they’re walking in a straight line I’m just playing musical cities by myself deluded into believing that I could ever “make it” and these songs that I’ve written they aren’t catchy enough and I’m not clever enough and this voice I’ve been given it’s not pretty enough and I’m not pretty enough to ever be on your radio or your T.V Everyone seems like they’re walking in a straight line I’m just playing musical cities by myself pretending this could ever be a success Everyone seems like they’re walking in a straight line I’m just playing musical cities by myself deluded into believing that I could ever “make it” Everyone seems like they’re walking in a straight line I’m just playing musical cities by myself this could never be sustainable but I don’t know anything else Everyone seems like they’re walking in a straight line I’m just playing musical cities by myself and when the music stops will I have anything else?

Welcome back to town again My big sister, my dear friend It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you I’m smiling so hard I can barely greet you I found myself a place to stay In the time you’ve been away We’ve both fallen in love again We’ve both lost the same shitty friends Play your new songs for me In the park across the street With only the bugs to hear us But that’s ok with me Your voice still almost makes me cry Ever since you said goodbye Before you left last time Seeing you is such a blessing And for once It’s not a blessing in disguise The last time that we were together And this I quite clearly remember You said you’d never settle down You’d always be moving around And I thought I’d never fall in love I’d always be alone and such And I was oh so sure But how wrong we both were Play your new songs for me In the park across the street With only the bugs to hear us But that’s ok with me Your voice still almost makes me cry Ever since you said goodbye Before you left last time Seeing you is such a blessing And for once It’s not a blessing in disguise

You say you’re worried you’re a burden I wanna tell you that I’m certain You could never be too much Because I love you so damn much I can’t take all your pain away I wish I could, I want to say You’re such a beautiful person And of this I’m very certain Cuz I know what it’s like to feel like shit Like the world would be better without you in it I know the feeling of being alone Broken and without a home But I haven’t felt like I want to die Since the first time I looked in your eyes You make me feel so beautiful And I just wanna do the same for you This isn’t something I expected That I’d ever feel so connected To another living person Who didn’t treat me like a burden Cuz no one deserves to feel that way No matter the weight of their pain Especially not someone like you And I am certain this is true Cuz I know what it’s like to feel like shit Like the world would be better without you in it I know the feeling of being alone Broken and without a home But I haven’t felt like I want to die Since the first time I looked in your eyes You make me feel so beautiful And I just wanna do the same for you

Sun rises over downtown There’s so much on my mind You’re all strangers to me and yet you’ve been so kind It makes me think that maybe The aching in my soul Could be soothed by friendship I might someday be whole And I don’t think I’m worthy To feel the sunshine But I feel myself growing Towards the sunshine And even when the sky Is filled with rain In some small place in my heart The sunshine still remains You’ve let me into your lives You know my stories, I know yours Try to tell mine calmly But in my head I’m screaming myself hoarse And even though I’m scared You’ll leave me before long That fear is gone for just a moment In the light of dawn And I don’t think I’m worthy To feel the sunshine But I feel myself growing Towards the sunshine And even when the sky Is filled with rain In some small place in my heart The sunshine still remains

Izzy and the Chimera is Izzy Unger-Weiss

This was a super last minute idea, thrown together when I stayed with Izzy for a few days in Portland. My songs were recorded in a few hours and they were all written in the last 2 weeks or so.
