about
A special thanks to everyone who was on this album: Chad Wahlbrink for adding instrumentation throughout and mixing/mastering his heart out, Jeff Pianki for his contribution to Realigned and Nomad, Caleb Groh, Michael Pierce, and Zach Frimmel for his bass work on The Shape Our Frames Made (and his consistent motivation).
I also have to whole-heartedly thank Melissa Tang, Melissa Price, Luke Floyd, and Sylvester (and all of the other patrons) for making my album possible in the first place.
Lastly, a huge thank you goes out to my parents who have doubled as my production team and my brother, Anders Holine, who has graciously filmed some of my music and designed both of the Ignoble and Candescent album covers.
I am ever grateful to all of you.

Unseen flame
Stay lost in the night
When alongside your warmth
You still won’t give light
Careless drifter don’t knock on my door
It’s framework is crumbling
From answering your
Every plea
Won’t open no more
And the weight stopped crushing my bones
When I lost the wonder to know
Why you never stayed
Endless woe
Your game has grown old
The cards have been rigged
Concerns just for show
I fold
I’ve seen it before
And the weight stopped crushing my bones
When I lost the wonder to know
Why you never stayed
Crawl back every time
I won’t pay no mind - Track Name: Queen of Hearts Blues (ft. Caleb Groh)
-
The queen of hearts she ain’t smiling no more
She’s got her head the clouds, she won’t be comin’ round no more
With a crook in her neck and a chip on her shoulder
Love didn’t suit her taste
She caught a glimpse of the blues and she took off runnin’
It all seems such a waste
I would keep you if I could
I would stick around if I could
I was a name on a page I was a fix for a phase
A muse for a writer’s block
A story told of a foregone failure
Heard the click and felt the shot
I would keep you if I could
I would stick around if I could
Nothing seems more unstable then these trees swingin’ around next to me
I caught sight of the blues on a warm December night
It was laced in between the words of the coldest line
It said I would keep you if I could
It said I would stick around if I could - Track Name: Adhered

Skin and bones
Are attached to the land that you came from
Rules that raised you
I know you hate to admit it
Steps and strides
Have begun to take form in new road
But dust still coats you
From the walls of your old town
I know you hate to admit it
But I can’t stand it
Young man
Will you listen when I say I’m sorry
This road ain’t easy
And detachment just isn’t too soothing
I know you hate to admit it
So just lose the ghost
Lose the ghosts that haunt you
Cause I know that they do - Track Name: Realigned (ft. Jeff Pianki)

Footprints by my doorstep
I am waiting for snow to pass and love to last
Have you forgotten the way home, my darling?
Waking up is task enough
Oh and I've been wondering
If a heart can survive this cold
I don't know
Oh and I've been wondering
if I can realign these bones again
Light hits my eyelids
I am hoping to feel unknown
to know my own
Waking up is task enough
Oh and I've been wondering
If a heart can survive this cold
I don't know
Oh and I've been wondering
if I can realign these bones again
Fog dims my windows
I am learning to see the cold
to breathe alone
Oh and I've been wondering - Track Name: Lullaby to Self
-
Don't act so weak
Don't fall at my feet
Don't crumble and tear with every defeat
And I know it seems hard
But someday you'll be
As sensibly numb as me - Track Name: Faulty
-
I built a sailing ship for you
I pushed it out to sea and bid adieu
Well it drifted out halfway and came unglued
Oh my ship it never stays afloat for you
I made a paper plane instead
Yeah I folded til my hands they nearly bled
And I threw it but it never flew ahead
My target was apparently misread
Cause the pilot and the crew were left for dead
My hands are getting tired
And my heart, well it's a mess
Cause I've been building all these hopes
Since I dont know when
When all you see
Are failed attempts.
I built a tiny train for you
I laid down every track until I knew
Spanned long enough to go from me to you
Derailed as soon as it went out of view
Conductor cryin' out, It can't be true
My hands are getting tired
And my heart, well it's a mess
Cause I've been building all these hopes
Since I dont know when
When all you see
Are failed attempts - Track Name: The Shape Our Frames Made
-
Breathe in come closer
For it may be the first time
Your thoughts grow older
A motion never meant to say
I won’t say it right now
Withhold your praises
As if they ever surfaced land
You’ll draw your mazes
I’ll lie beside you drafting plans
And the shape our frames made
Was a part of history
You were alive beside me
Until I awoke this morning
Breathe in my darling
For this may be the last time
You never started
To sing your sonnets
Trace your lines
We won’t hear them at all
And the shape our frames made
Was a part of history
You were alive beside me
Until I awoke this morning
