KEEP TRYING 04:35
finding my light in a song i want to cry ive been trying so long why does life come up so short sometimes there’s no-one & no support so i look for a sign in the dark not sure why but i feel so lost why does life come up so short theres no reason why u just move forward i wanna leave n not come back how could i lose it all so fast talk me down from this ledge & take me home the garden is wilting without me it never asks to be left alone something’s alive in my heart it’s buried deep but its dying to start why is there no end in sight sometimes there’s noone to hide behind i wanna leave n not look back how could i lose it all so fast talk me down from this ledge & take me home the garden is wilting without me it never asks to be left alone but why do i trust you with my life when i dont even know you lets pass the time following our hearts so long until its all thru i wanna leave n not come back how could i lose it all so fast all of the colors i used to see now fade to black all of the people i care about hurt so bad talk me down from this ledge & take me home the garden is wilting without me it never asks to be left alone

i hear whispers.... “dreams tell the truth of your heart” a secret symbol... a line to start a painful memory tears you apart touch the water the surface stays undisturbed the sun burns thru like they said it wud only in darkness u find comfort
3.
if you’ve always had this place in my life where u been? if u’ve always known itd be like this then why pretend i know you better than you think i know this dance across the water i stood there n watched wreckage sink i see her walking past the altar until night brings a haunting voice inside my mind collapse in just to pull apart & redefine in the sorrow lies the acceptance we require if there’s always time to speak up then why do we hide you know it better than you think you know that hill across the harbor i stood there n watched the wreckage sink i saw her breathing under water & you once said keep all pulling that weight alone you cant break - when you help me up just to push me down you help me up just to push me down

i won't mind 01:59
went away with all the silence then the signs just painted blue i keep pulling all these blankets off cuz the rain always soaks thru & the cyanide thats in my heart nearly poisoned you i will see you lie forever till u decide to tell the truth its always all or nothing wish we could live inside my dream u can overstay my welcome i wont mind i cant decide on anything

NEVER FORGET 04:20

about

KEEP TRYING EP was written & self recorded in Derek Ted’s home studio in Burbank CA. Using mostly live drums & tape machines, this record became an earthy & organic addition to his catalog. Written over the course of a few months in the fall of 2019, the ep was recorded in a week with friends Timothy Vickers (bass/guitar/synth/production) & Lucas Siobal (drums). KEEP TRYING ep is a journey to find clarity & cope with the loss of recently ended relationship.
