got me fixed in my thought loops i really tried hard, but it’s hard not to love you you drug me with the lovely, i’m fumbling now i’m stumbling over words, it’s humbling in fact my tact is retracted lemme be candid: you’re so attractive you’re vexing, pulling mab shit in my inception i’m stressing trying to express my affection flexing when i’m sexing, not connecting it’s depressing, but now i’m course correcting i’m reflecting, you’re a blessing, if perplexing decompressing, i always pray before texting the next thing is professing you’re the best thing i’m just venting everything i’ve been repressing so interesting, stressing over texting if confessing doesn’t work, well i really like the friend thing

about

An EP consisting of material from a scrapped version of my fourth album. While I'm proud of these songs, I ultimately decided to scrap the record they belonged to because it didn't suit the personal, musical, or thematic direction I wanted to take Don't do it, Neil in. So instead I decided to release them as-is and pursue a new artistic vision for the next album.

Until the next record finally drops, however, I hope you enjoy this little insight into an album that never was. Enjoy.

- Mabel
