Temporary 02:23
i'm so alone at night her florid body right sleeping at my side and turning from the lights i feel so temporary in the corner of the rooms interior thoughts dividing/divining out the walls the shades and the blinds undone i feel so temporary i don't like you i don't talk a lot haven't tried to take the filters off i don't like you when the lights come on florescence/fluorescence outside i just might not feel so temporary

Better Days 02:51
better days yeah, i've had better days but worse ones all the same still find their endings when i go better days they woke up sick and late but lately everyday just seems to blend into one long note better days yeah, i've had better days but worse ones all the same still find their endings when i go better days what warm thoughts fill my brain to know there's better days still waiting for me when i go

Horsetooth 04:19

Second Guess 03:23
and i'm starting to feel: i'm losing my mind all of my sense all of the time i'm starting to find: notes from old times; i'm losing my friends left and right and it feels like i just might and i'm starting to feel: so sleep deprived noon's been my moon night's been my light i'm starting to see: the grass isn't green; i've tried watering maybe next spring and it feels like i just might and so i'll second guess my second guessings and treat it like a blessing cause lately i'm just glad to feel alive and though she might leave me it's not like she is me or that without her i would die i'm actually doing just fine

August Snows 03:11
sometimes i feel normal like it's a brand new start and then i wake from my dream and my head bursts apart and then i go outside when everything is dark and then you call me crazy - but i have a right to go against reason though i suppose what feels like treason is to my surprise ignoring instinct til' august snows bring me back to bed - sometimes i think it's over and then it's really not and the things i thought left me have been there all along so then i go inside where everything is warm and then you call me crazy
7.
So Lost 02:31
i'm so lost again all my friends are timbre-lin/temperate they're crying so out of mind i get lost sometimes i'm so caught again both my arms are wearing thin they're trying for simple space i can't not complicate i don't mind i like my florid/flawed sense of time i get lost sometimes

Hi 01:09
at the k-mart where you said to me you had tried everything and you're so not inclined to say hi at the city market on the fifth you had said you got your wish that you had this, one more time, to say hi

Static 02:48
i wanna be surrounded by static took by fluorescent lights i wanna be surrounded by static made into florescent light *static surrounds and light breaks through*
12.
Long Sleeves 01:28
and so i'll wear long sleeves and you'll crash your parties and i'll find my way out somehow -- --- and covered in red flags you'll say that it's my bad and you'll scratch your wrist and i will too
13.
*pianos three years apart layer themselves in unison*
14.
Now 05:35
i'll shave my head if you'd like that i'll stay inside your rooms borderline i'll make my bed in marcescent catatoniac i'll go outside and leave window shards for you to find - -- --- *when i get too stressed, i shave my head, and i'll tell you why: each hair that falls off from my head is like a small goodbye. so with all these adieus across the floor, and farewells filling the drain, it's impossible to leave the room and still feel the same*
15.
Shade 03:35
i'm waiting for my leaves to grow i can't do it all on my own i'm trying not to be afraid but i'm dying out here in the shade -- give me sunshine and i'll turn it all into flowers of white yellow light give me sunshine and i'll throw it all into fragments of my selfish life give me sunshine and i'll burn it all into rancid summers melting color give me sunshine and i'll grow it all into lushness, undone air given up --- i'm waiting for my leaves to grow i can do it all on my own
16.
I Miss Now 02:53
boxes up high your clothes and mine i see you smile and it's like you said that how this works is you go first i think you're right but you can't smoke out here when your friends downstate can't figure it out i miss now -- feeling outpaced by your highway hearing you say "it's not over yet" suspension of air as you leave here and i think you're right and it's like you said: "_" -- when your friends downstate can't figure it out i miss now
17.
Towhee 04:09
towhee's over one year older don't need hindsight to see things weren't right towhee's over the girls all sold her cigarette staircase cracked door embrace and i'm so, i'm so, petrified at the rate which doors shut tight towhee's over a year less bolder records we'd play broke eventually and i'm so, i'm so, mesmerized at how quickly plans subside -- *a short dive into the past that leaves you feeling immensely unable to change anything*
18.
Every Night 04:30
i can't stop writing songs that i don't wanna sing i can't stop thinking thoughts that i don't wanna think and it's over now as the lights go out and it's over now every night i'm so, tired i i don't mind i'm so, tired eyes dodging mirrors thinking clearly: that i can't see myself living past daily tasks sorting through osedax and it's over now as the sound goes out and it all falls down every night i'm so tired i i don't mind i'm so tired eyes -- and all awake lying in my bed and all the same morning comes again
19.
Flannel 03:23
the car feels faster when you're high i'm so inclined that i just might i wonder every summer where you'd land when plans fall through your arm falls faster under mine you've sewn a smile when you say bye i wonder every summer where you'd land when plans fall through i'm distant every year spent chasing bedrooms flannel from you - -- --- *and as the vents give way, the room feels empty and has had its say*
20.
Florescence 04:39
- *when you look in the mirror, i hope you're smiling* -- *flowers don't bloom all year, and you don't have to either* --- *the guitars say what i cannot, that i hope everything works out for you* ----

about

Timberline's sophomore album, 'Florescence', was recorded during a summer of transitions in his girlfriend's basement. In the midst of late evening walks, half-eaten meals, unfinished books, and loss of routines, the concept of 'Florescence' began to fill the static of the softly lit recording space: to embrace both bloom and decay, to be florid in the perception of our experiences, to find comfort while sitting in the darkness, and to remember when to open the blinds and let the light in.
