about
Designed Mistake was the first solo song I wrote this past FAWM, and it’s the reason I put this album together. Looking at a month of songwriting in the days before FAWM started, I wasn’t sure how I’d approach it, what style, what sound, what direction I wanted to go. Then February 1st, I wrote this.
This song solidified the direction I wanted to go for an album. It’s direction and sound is why NEW THING happened.

lyrics
It's closing in
you're running out
I'm finding out so many things
the lies we bring
I know your face
the feel of your skin
to know I'm inside you breaks my heart
it falls apart
this won't be my last chance
but this will be my first designed mistake
I give and take
you call my name
a killing word
the sound I heard brings me to my knees
I aim to please
if I'm to sleep
I wait for you
the beats on one and two take my breath
if I could rest
this won't be my last chance
but this will be my first designed mistake
I give and take
this won't be my last chance
but this will be my first designed mistake
I give and take
you're running out
I'm finding out so many things
the lies we bring
I know your face
the feel of your skin
to know I'm inside you breaks my heart
it falls apart
this won't be my last chance
but this will be my first designed mistake
I give and take
you call my name
a killing word
the sound I heard brings me to my knees
I aim to please
if I'm to sleep
I wait for you
the beats on one and two take my breath
if I could rest
this won't be my last chance
but this will be my first designed mistake
I give and take
this won't be my last chance
but this will be my first designed mistake
I give and take
