    These were a beast to make, so I most likely won't be doing something like this again (or at least for a while), but they were a fun labor of love. When designing and making these, I really set out to make the packaging of the disc a tactile experience, somewhat reminiscent of the days of records. I'm really proud of these, and of course the music, too, so I hope you absolutely love it. ~Jakob

lyrics

Looking over my shoulder at something not quite dead
But nothing lies in front of me, nothing lies ahead
I wanna know where I will go, what’ll I see out the window
I ask my mother what to do, she says that’s up to you

I can’t see, no
I can’t breathe
I can’t tell which way is up

That’s why you wear a life jacket

Here I stand, petrified, by uncertainty
Wind is blowing, waves are crashing, face my destiny
I forge ahead into the dark, listen to the matriarch
My lips are cracked, my voice is gone, but still I must go on

I can’t see, no
I can’t breathe
I can’t tell which way is up

That’s why you wear a life jacket

Once you get to the bottom then
You will know
Which way is up
Which way is up

I can’t see, no
I can’t breathe
I can’t tell which way is up

That’s why you wear a life jacket
That’s why you wear a life jacket
