about

Authors Note:

Jack+Rose illustrates the impact of a trauma bond in the midst of abuse. The chemical
dependency of the codependency, regardless of abuse and infidelity is depicted in a familiar,
genre bending discussion about mental health and surviving domestic violence.

“Promise Me You'll Stay Long Enough to Hear This” is a five track EP that serves as a letter
to my past self. After dealing with various traumas including suicide attempts— I now, at age 25,
am able to reflect back on girl I was and empathize with her. I can hold her hand and show her,
that she survived and there’s so much more to this than she knows.

EP Release Date: 09.23.2022

lyrics

I'll follow wherever you go
you'll take lead ill take note
we're taking the backroads on a Monday afternoon
ill tuck you in safer than who
we used to carve our names into
the trees, what was meant to be
or whatever the fuck we used to idolize or read,
back when.
back when
back when we used to make love
on a twin sized bed frame it was
the best four years I'd ever known
so tonight ill take
the backroads home just to see you again
Fuck whoever said that this shits romantic
Heartbreak, I crave
The waves of the
Atlantic
Drifting us away from the shit we’d watch
Clearly it was I,
Who couldn’t swim across to you
To you
To you.
Fuck whoever said this shits romantic
Clearly who said that’s never seen titanic
You were my jack I played rose
This time you got drunk and I froze up
In the middle of trying to catch you
Cus I never wanted to be rescued my friend.
Ill follow wherever you go
You’ll take lead ill take note
We’re taking the backroads on a Monday afternoon.
When words fail ill try and switch roles
To reframe the pieces they stole
We never wrote the ending
This is one ill always know.
Fuck whoever said that this shits romantic
Heartbreak, I crave
The waves of the
Atlantic
Drifting us away from the shit we’d watch
Clearly it was I,
Who couldn’t swim across to you
To you

To you.
Fuck whoever said this shits romantic
Clearly who said that’s never seen titanic
You were my jack I played rose
This time you got drunk and I froze up
In the middle of trying to catch you
Cus I never wanted to be rescued my friend
I can feel the tears with salt water
Drifting,
Drifting
Down my skin
This is the ending my friend.
This is the ending my friend
This is the ending my friend
Fuck whoever said that this shits romantic
Heartbreak, I crave
The waves of the
Atlantic
Drifting us away from the shit we’d watch
Clearly it was I,
Who couldn’t swim across to you
To you
To you.
Fuck whoever said this shits romantic
Clearly who said that’s never seen titanic
You were my jack I played rose
This time you got drunk and I froze up
In the middle of trying to catch you
Cus I never wanted to be rescued my friend.
