once we were friends well look how far we've gone how could something so honest turn so sickly and wrong? we gave in to temptation succumbed to the charm I'm desperate, glowing, guilty, trembling with you in my arms who knows when we'll have had enough caught up in the rapture in reckless love pleasure on the surface but I'm a mess underneath a garish sense of indulgence I'm breathing through my teeth is that glow in your eyes a sign of your love for me? or merely a reflection of my jealousy of your boyfriend my best friend this is so fucking wrong but your comfort your loving warmth is just too strong it's just too strong can you separate love and lust? I can't tell this deep can you rebuild broken trust? we'll just wait and see 'cause who knows when we'll have had enough caught up in the rapture in reckless love

when I let you in I didn't know what to expect I felt us begin and myself resurrect now I'm so conflicted both damned and free between waves of tension I can finally breathe and it's sad to say that this'll have to end we'll have to cool down but we'll still be friends when he finds out that I've been with you I hope he takes it well 'cause there's too much to lose and I'll always love you even if we can't kiss I'll hold onto this truth with a white knuckle grip and it's sad to say that this'll have to end we'll have to cool down but we'll still be friends and years from now when you marry him I'll wish you both the best and we'll still be friends oh we'll still be friends

the sun stains my eyelids and I wake up fresh and trees sway outside my window as I get dressed and I'm opening up my mind is blooming as the sunlight pours into my room and I don't miss you yeah, I don't miss those marshmallow blankets or your soothing warmth and I don't need your fingers woven between mine anymore and all those neatly folded love notes could burn for all I care and the pastel heart you drew me might as well be a signal flare and I'm trying to start fresh but everything I do yeah, every god damn thing reminds me of you maybe I miss sitting in the moonlight finding shapes in the trees you resting on my shoulder and your arms around me but your golden glowing hugs are just a faint memory and I'm over you already just you wait and see 'cause I'm opening up my mind is blooming as the sunlight pours into my room and I don't miss your presence I don't miss the calm yeah I'm over you completely I don't miss you at all 'cause I'm opening up my mind is blooming as the sunlight pours into my room and I don't miss you

This Room 06:14
textured walls and synthetic scent stripped down, dim, but lit forgotten shelves and thick breathing dust trinkets I didn't choose well in this room I confess I was someone I've tried to re-find and find the raw honeycomb and attempt to describe the taste musky floor where I first felt the ache a stiffened bed soaked in tears of the torn well in this room I confess I was someone I've tried to re-find and find the raw honeycomb and attempt to describe the taste the taste of freedom the taste of restlessness oh it was arrogance no no it was innocence before the anxious thoughts were deafening before my strengths became my enemies well in this room I confess I was someone I've tried to re-find and find the raw honeycomb and attempt to describe the taste

about

Reckless Love is Moonlit Wheat's debut release. A raw, captivating narrative focused on processing the pain and crushing guilt of being part of an affair. The record is a dive straight into the depths of the dark internal conflict in an attempt to rediscover some sense of self and truth after losing the way and hurting those he loved.

The EP was recorded by Hernan Zatarain in a NE Portland, OR apartment, where songwriter Colin Wagner was able to let go and tune in to the emotions and experiences that inspired each song without time limits or deadlines. Each track is a single take with no overdubs, cutting, or pasting. The result is a strikingly direct, raw, and honest series of songs that illustrate the emotional story with piercing sway.

Renowned Mastering Engineer Adam Gonsalves, known for his work with Sufjan Stevens, Typhoon, and Radiation City, added professional touches to make the record cohesive and polished while preserving the intimate DIY sound that helps make this record so profoundly impactful.
