wishing well 03:29
I've been everywhere but it's okay because I'm not scared and even when I'm there I'm preoccupied and un-self-aware but everyone's the same it's just identical people with identical names if you would take my hand maybe then you could understand another coin in the wishing well another coin in the wishing well I'd say I like your hair not one to overstep not one to overshare and I've got no fruits to bear but I'm almost certain that you wouldn't care and I've fallen all the same it's like a daytime drama with myself to blame if you would take my hand maybe then you would understand another coin in the wishing well another coin in the wishing well another coin in the wishing well another coin in the wishing well . . . one more coin in the wishing well

pea soup 04:07
you know, a thing or two has got me thinkin' again about me and you the way it goes around, like carnivals; the sights and sounds are so profound I've never known the reasons wrote but the words won't baby, I sink like a stone and pea soup is on the stove the keys are gone my socks are on wrong hair isn't short but it still ain't long follow me, have some fun, take your shoes off can't think of shit to say but I'll just sit in silence with you anyway can't speak for you but it feels so surreal to hang out when there's no one here I've never known the reasons wrote but the words won't baby, I'm stuck in a dream of a messy bed and a cat at my feet the menthol’s done I left the lights on washed my shirt three times but the stains aren't gone strawberry, more for me, sleep the buzz off baby, I sink like a stone and pea soup is on the stove the keys are gone my socks are on wrong hair isn't short but it still ain't long follow me, have some fun, take your shoes off

i'd wait 03:20
sketchy drive, uninspected, flyin' down 295 load the gps, I think I got it but I'll be sure god forbid 'cause who's to say I'll be here for the next sunny day 'cause god only knows, maybe we're only made outta one's and o's can't say for sure what's goin' on (what's goin’ on) I haven't felt this way in so long (so very long) but someday soon I'll see you there (I'll be right here) you know I'd wait for you for years a little home next to the sea with a thousand holes in the wall ride aboard this little globe while we still got time on the clock 'cause who's to say I'll be here for the next sunny day if I had to choose I'd set a million aside and give them to you can't say for sure what's goin' on (what's goin’ on) I haven't felt this way in so long (so very long) but someday soon I'll see you there (I'll be right here) you know I'd wait for you for years can't say for sure what's goin' on I haven't felt this way in so long (so very long) but someday soon I'll see you there (I'll be right here) you know I'd wait for you for years

if I had no ball and chain I'd like the change in scenery I play the same old games again maybe just because they're easy why's that what you dream? budget friendly Nostradamus and that's just where I'll be in the cupboard with my cup just where you found me god damn morning glow it's got me scrying like a sorcerer's stone anywhere you go is that my calling? darling I know it's not easy being told you're free when it's always me soliciting at your front door oh-oh

I'm floating through spots invisible drugs and stomach in knots your afghan rugs your afghan rugs your afghan rugs your afghan rugs easy day, hard to say I thought it through come on by. reasons why I know it's true gravy train, feels the same it ought to do dandelion tastes bitter like wine and old perfume I'm onto something new I'm onto something new I'm onto something new I'm onto something new three centuries passing by while I'm asleep one-hundred-and-one seems too long one-hundred-and-one seems too long I know you stay here sometimes I know you live here sometimes I know you live here sometimes I know you live here sometimes

make it last 04:02
he poured rocks in the dungeon of his mind made him believe that his water's really wine and what's that thing he would say all the time? my mind knows better tarred and feathered she locked herself in her room by the stairs convinced herself that she really didn't care about the girls with their curly dark hair but her mind knows better they just don't get her her mind knows better but she don't know what he's been waiting for he's seen it all before pretty pictures hanging from his wall but he don't have the balls she don't know what he's been waiting for he's seen it all before have it seem like he forgot to ask and try to make it last try to make it last try to make it last try to make it

139-AJA 03:02
139-AJA's takin' over my mind her spotlight eyes a-glowin' hints of blueberry wine takin' flight watch my peace tea as it springs into life now and then, hit my pen free couch has saved me again oh no holy smoke you're me when I was seventeen oh no red light lord our weathered walking boards caked in petroleum dirt the stores are overflowing like an expensive dessert reassert hollow floors feel like they're falling apart now and then, hit my pen free couch has saved me again oh no holy smoke you're me when I was seventeen oh no red light lord

go fish, go you're on your own sixteenth sky if things were fine I wouldn't say so all the time I don't have the mind to think of poetry though it's all I've ever wanted and don't bother asking me what's on tv I'd rather be sleeping on the carpet and if I'm bein' honest it feels like I'm haunted by a girl from boston but that's okay 'cause I've got my ticket booked for anywhere else, USA anywhere else anywhere else filled with holes booze and dope overnice it always feels as though I'm skidding on thin ice I'm sorry I answered with a probably but never made it like I promised a re-run of cops was on MTV and I found cider in the closet and if I'm bein' honest it feels like I'm haunted by a girl from boston but that's okay 'cause I've got my ticket booked for anywhere else, USA (anywhere, anywhere, anywhere else) anywhere else, USA (anywhere, anywhere, anywhere else) anywhere else, USA (anywhere, anywhere, anywhere else) anywhere else, USA (anywhere, anywhere, anywhere else)

when I met you there under your magic spell when you held me there under that rocky wall then you set me free back to my cushy cell feeling trapped in a town where I've seen it all object permanence ain't what I thought it was feeling out of place next to my favorite songs and I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucked up object permanence ain't what I thought it was

about

weak speaker is the brainchild of solo singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and home recordist Nick Sansouci.

after about seven years of working on projects under several pseudonyms and as a part of groups, it's with much delight that I'm able to present my debut to the world: weak speaker's "twenty-something".

"twenty-something" is a collection of songs I wrote between 2020 and 2022, and recorded between december 2021 and july 2022, between working 40 hours at a shipyard, balancing friendships and family, and keeping up with my cat.

if you wanna drop me a line, hmu @ weakspeaker@gmail.com
