If I take off it doesn’t mean I’ll land It doesn’t mean that I’ve escaped my death again Because in the upper atmosphere, in your gravitational lines I find that I lose myself all of the time With these hands With your smile I don’t know What to cut out Hum of the engine Birth of the Light Gravity is following me Well you can try to find the same constellation In someone else’s distant solar system (Just another anomaly) Deviating from what you thought you’d see (Standards have no relevance) Lightyears from reality With these hands With your smile I don’t know What to cut out Hum of the engine Birth of the Light Gravity is following me With your hands With my smile I don’t know What to cut out Hum of the engine Birth of the Light Gravity is following me

My Proxima 04:02
Well I know it’s not the end of the world But it sure feels like it Every day of my life Every day of my life And I know you find it so difficult To love me for who I am To love me for who I am You are My Proxima My closest galaxy The only star that shines bright enough to see My Proxima My Proxima My Proxima You know it won’t be so difficult To find out just who I am To find just who I am In this vacuum there is a way Day is night and night is day Time is stopped by gravity But I’m fine with everything I see You are My Proxima My closest galaxy The only star that shines bright enough to see My Proxima My Proxima My Proxima
3.
A powerful and luminous Stellar explosion that I happened to miss Are you just a nebula A cloud of dust that’s floating through my solar system Go on and blow up like a supernova And with no gravity I finally start to see How a collapse could lead to a start for you and an end for me Turn into a black hole or a star I’m just ether in your soul Go on and blow up like a supernova
4.
No Gravity 04:52
So tell me where have you been Have you been searching for an end It’s so hard to measure all the weight Of all those little things you can’t hear or say With no With no Gravity What does it all mean With all this distance I finally start to see All that matters in this godforsaken country You can pay for this, you can pay for that With a certain currency of regret We’re chasing planets When we’ve only got one left
5.
This is not the place I thought it'd be This system cannot be binary But we’re the brightest stars on a broken ring So very capable of devastating things We are the light in the darkness of this place Heavens above this Earthly life I see you in the air tonight with your Constellation Crown Heavens beyond this atmosphere You orbit every single one of these fears with your Constellation Crown How can you expect anything to change When everything you see still looks the same Measure this distance in luminosity With inverted laws and astronomy
6.
If existence is implied How do you know if you are alive Faith is hope, it's just a remedy For the fear the trails you ever you each and every day In this strange space Mercury will follow you From the Earth and to the Moon Well these astrophysical anomalies  They separate me from reality They occupy this void inside of me They give me reason to keep this heart beating Strange space Mercury will follow you From the Earth and to the Moon
7.
Where do you draw your Karman Line For all those things you can’t define Where air is thin and light can’t hide All the darkness above this earthly life The farther up I The farther up I The farther up I go The more that I The more that I The more that I lose to the unknown For all of those things you can’t define Where do you draw your Karman Line? With the birth of the light behind me The engines cooled with anxiety Well I’m not so luminous I’m a dying star in your orbit

about

“From Mercury”: The debut album from Loud Lines.

3 States.
1 Federal District.
2 Countries.
Made in Maryland at home (and in the backseat my car), with additional contributions from friends in DC, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and the UK. Featuring Rebecca LaChance, Naomi Westwater, and Phil Pucci of Pullover.

If you’ve been following along as singles “No Gravity” and “My Proxima” were released, you know the thematic backdrop of this project is space. Space is beautiful yet terrifying. Space is bright yet dark. Space has been explored yet remains a mystery. At this album’s infancy, space felt like a perfect metaphor for these times.

“From Mercury” is a half-hour journey. It starts as hope tangles with anxiety. It moves to finding comfort in something beyond yourself before facing the unpredictability of emotion. It reaches the realization that emotion cannot be subtracted from any moment, because it’s emotion that defines each moment, each experience. It’s then coming to grips with accepting that things aren’t what you’d thought they’d be, but that there’s still hope, still beauty, to be found. You then accept that there is no running from reality, no running from truth, but you question existence and what your direction is. It ends with trying to discover, for yourself, what your limits are — learning that no one but you can choose your path forward.
