Fire 02:47
it seems to be such a painted scene and if you want you can set me free you kiss so soft you burn so slow and all i want is to feel your glow i need to feel unwired it licks me like fire i began the story on a lazy morning and she left me without much warning i came inside to escape the snow to find the warmth that i used to know i need to feel unwired it licks me like fire it's in the way that you come toward me i find it to be quite reassuring you can be beautiful and unexpected you can have my heart and not regret it

Forever 02:59
if i had you for a moment i would look into your eyes and paint you a watercolor a dazzling bright red sunrise light beneath the bedroom door love above the hardwood floor forever heard my lonely cries and built a city out of lies say goodbye goodbye say goodbye goodbye whispered sweetness in my ears telling me what i want to hear hope for all the coming years pray to dry the rain and tears say goodbye goodbye say goodbye goodbye and i will love you forever you know i'll always hold you close my dear

i'm forgetting everything because you make my body sing on your back, you're blossoming within you i'm drowning a daisy chain in her hands a daisy chain on my mind i've got this plan that i think you're gonna like your pale skin so bare as i gasp for air nothing else compares when you take me there a daisy chain in her hands a daisy chain on my mind i've got this plan that i think you're gonna like
4.
you yeah i still love you after all the things that you've put me through i let my karma accrue by doing your bidding when you asked me to you say that you're my friend you say you like my band i've come through for you though i wish i knew about your worthless promises but i still love you

Tulip 03:27
i wandered down the street watching shadows on the concrete i feel so young i feel so sweet i'm wasting time before we meet with you, dark thoughts are not allowed can't swallow me, can't touch me now california breeze against my arms a refuge far away from harm i wish i could feel this way once more i think it's what i was created for with you, dark thoughts are not allowed can't swallow me, can't touch me now

Eternal Life 03:59
skies that once were clean drag me out to see drowning in the sound lost for years, yet to be found i've got mine my own eternal life i feel fine about eternal life you know, we gave you all we had in the palm of a fisted hand i don't mind tonight's eternal life i feel fine without eternal life

about

・We self-recorded this EP in our rehearsal space (Yosemite Studios, San Francisco) between August 2018 and February 2019. Sam, Chris, and Ryan engineered and mixed it. We are committed to home recording and this EP is a testament to it. These songs are all originals and they were all recorded in some fashion previously by Ryan in his Moonbeams project. Like our Part Time Punks Session EP, this EP was mastered by Space Magnetic Studios. This EP was released physically as a limited edition tape (15 copies) by Blue Aurora Audio.

・The butterfly cover artwork was created by Ryan Lescure.

・The music was written and performed by Lavender Blush. The lyrics were written by Ryan Lescure.

・Ana Ramundo: vocals (tracks 4 and 5), synth (track 4)
・Chris Howard: drums (all tracks)
・Julie Lynn: vocals (track 5), synth (track 5)
・Sam Hewatt: bass (tracks 1-3, 5)
・Ryan Lescure: guitar (all tracks), vocals (all tracks), percussion (all tracks), bass (tracks 4 and 6), synth (track 5)

・The album title was used with permission and comes directly from the poem "Disintegration Loop 1.1" by Heather Christle. This poem can be found in her book "Heliopause" (Wesleyan Poetry Series). Buy it. Ryan also strongly recommends Christle's book "The Trees The Trees."

・Thanks to: Jon, Marissa, Amelia, Crystal, Heather Christle, Aivaras (Space Magnetic), Michael (Part Time Punks), John (blkbrix), Hannah & Eric (merch champions), Alvin, Kyle (thanks for the Logic tips), Ryan, Greg (DKFM), Jim (Rocketship), John (Desario / blkbrix), Andy & Chris (LSD and the Search for God), & Jérémie (topographies).
