You're A Drug 02:38
lyrics
buy track
You're a drug and you know it. Several times my heart exploded, that summer day in your bedroom, another time when I was thousands of miles away. Memories are my nightmares, but my body thinks they are sweet dreams. I can't tell if it is what my heart is reflecting or if I just cannot come to believe that it's over. You're a drug and you know it. We've relapsed into each other once before, so how do I know that it won't happen another time? Because the thought of it, the thought of you is tempting. So what's it gonna be like when I'm around? What's it gonna be like when we've already talked about it? We've already fought about it. We've already gave it up. So what's it gonna be like when I'm around? What's it gonna be like when we've already talked about what's it gonna be like when I'm around. What's it gonna be like when we've already talked about it? We've already fought about it. We've already gave it up.

Keep Up 02:33

What do I do when I feel inadequate, so out of it? What do I do? It's not enough to try. It's not enough just to get by. So what do I do? I'm just trying to keep up, trying to keep up, trying to keep, trying to keep up, trying to keep up, trying to keep, trying to keep up, trying to keep up, trying to keep, trying to keep up, trying to keep up, trying to keep. I've got pockets of memories. I can't say goodbye for good. I just need to let go of the past. Oh, only if I could. So what do I do when I feel inadequate, so out of it? What do I do? I'm just trying to keep up, trying to keep up, trying to keep, trying to keep up, trying to keep up, trying to keep, trying to keep up, trying to keep up, trying to keep, trying to keep up, trying to keep up, trying to keep. I'm just trying to keep up, trying to keep up, trying to keep. trying to keep up, trying to keep up, trying to keep, trying to keep up, trying to keep up, trying to keep, trying to keep up, trying to keep up, trying to keep. So what do I do when I feel inadequate, so out of it? What do I do?

Cold 03:13
lyrics

All I have are feelings. Am I melodramatic? I just can't make this shit up. Thoughts just run, never stop. You are cold like the winter. My hands froze when I searched for you, up high on the mountain that you rose to. You never came back down. I am drowning in the tundra. Why must you be stoic when all we've built is breaking down? It all started when you said you don't know what you want anymore. You are cold like the winter. My hands froze when I searched for you, up high on the mountain that you rose to. You never came back down. I am drowning in the tundra. Drowning in the tundra, I am drowning in the tundra. I am drowning in the tundra. I am drowning in, drowning in. You are cold like the winter. My hands froze when I searched for you, up high on the mountain that you rose to. You never came back down. I am drowning in, drowning in.

Empty Promises 03:11
lyrics
buy track
I'm still learning how to put myself first because when you left, I didn't see my worth. Remember when love was easy? Was it worth another shot? Do we leave it here to rot? I'm sitting here, second guessing all the times we've had, but they don't matter now and it's just too bad, I'm sorry to myself for bearing with the pain. You were never mine, but one day, I know I'll be fine. You said, "I didn't want to make empty promises." I still fight myself for putting you first because you were what I wanted, both a blessing and a curse. I didn't want to lose you after moving miles away, but in the end, it never mattered because we both changed. You can sit and second guess all the times we've had. Is it too late now if we want them back? I'm sorry to myself for bearing with the pain. You were never mine, but one day, I know I'll be fine. You said, "I didn't want to make empty promises." What we had was lost, it can never be found. I feel empty, knowing you won't be around. Say goodbye to our memories now. We were broken from the start. I'm taking back my heart. You can sit and second guess all the times we've had and it's too late now if you want them back. I'm sorry to myself for bearing with the pain. You were never mine, but one day, I know I'll be fine. You said, "I didn't want to make empty promises."

The Grey 03:31
lyrics

What we had was clear. We had everything, but then it came down to nothing. I was full of panic. You just stood and watched. I'd be a liar if I say I don't miss you at all because sometimes I do, but I won't if it ain't the same for you. How could you just let it fall? Because the things that you do, don't match up when you say, "I love you." The truth was ahead of you. You left me in the grey. I still expect from you. You left me in the grey. So what do we think about second chances? What do we say about being forgiven? You left the first time around. I called it off when I couldn't take it. I'm told that I should just forget it, but my heart is still left wide open, bleeding out while I'm supposed to believe time heals everything. The truth was ahead of you. You left me in the grey. I still expect from you. You left me in the grey. Should I believe it's the end of this? No one gets the final word. I am done with chasing illusions. I have lived and I have learned. The truth was ahead of you. You left me in the grey. I still expect from you. You left me in the grey. Should I believe it's the end of this? No one gets the final word. I am done with chasing illusions. I have lived and I have learned.

about

As someone who travels back and forth and away from home, music is something that helps Felinah France feel less homesick. Her new EP titled “They Grey” focuses on harbored feelings of heartbreak and anxiety from a long distance relationship. It is a story of mourning the loss of a relationship. It is a record of catharsis that serves as a reminder to move forward, even during times of grief. In times of heartache and conflict, “The Grey” is a manifestation of self love and acceptance which allows for healing and growth.

“Sound wise, I’ve been so fortunate to work with Dylan Schroth who I knew through mutual friends and we were myspace friends back in the day where I was a fan of his work and admired his DIY style. We also have some of the same favorite bands and musical tastes and I was SO EXCITED to work with him on this EP. I wrote the majority of these songs in 2016 and I gave Dylan a demo of “You’re A Drug” which I felt was very pop punk inspired and I wanted to go for this classic pop punk build up. He knew exactly what I was going for and he sent me a skeleton that he made based on my demo and after hearing it, I knew right away that I needed to work with him on my next EP.

Some influences on this record include Modern Baseball and Pentimento – raw sounding vocals with catchy, but simple riffs and straight forward lyrics. Short, sweet and succinct songs that keep you wanting to hit that repeat button. Some other artists I would mention as influences would also be Tiny Stills, Pvris and Ace Enders’ solo stuff as well as his work in The Early November.”
