about

Fractions (feat. Mahawam) is the first single off Emily Afton's forthcoming EP, RECONSIDERATION.

lyrics

Can we make a whole
Piece
If we put we ourselves together
If we go digging for gold
Can we meet somewhere in the center

I want to know our future
I want to see the things that we can do
Wish I could give in to your spark
Without fusing into you

‘Cause we’re both
‘Cause we’re both
‘Cause we’re both
‘Cause we’re both

We’re fractions of ourselves
I don’t know how to love you whole
‘Cause I’m missing myself
Think I’m missing the piece that lets me love

I want to taste the sunlight
I want to hear the sound that it makes
In the songs that I write
For you

‘Cause we’re both
‘Cause we’re both (fractions of our)
‘Cause we’re both
‘Cause we’re both (fractions of our)

I start where you end
Like ouroboros
Divide “us” by “we”
Devotion is the quotient
Your love’s a bird’s eye view
Of all I’ve done to cope with
Being alone until you

Loosened the wheel on my doom
Slowed the march to my tomb
My gratitude for that
But who am I without you?
Well, I’m still learning that

I’ve got a whole lot to do
And you can’t be in the room
While I’m redressing my wounds
Only got so many moons
To try to match the tides with

Follow my own light
In the night time
When the moon is silent
And when the loon is crying
I sit to hear the sooth the truth says
Trying to save my mind
My soul so long in the tooth
I’ll start where I think I have time left

‘Cause
I took a picture of myself
But didn’t know the subject
I mean, objectively I know it’s me
But didn’t love it
Second impression seen reflectively
It’s my opponent
And we both benefit from your support and oxytocin
So

I need a moment by myself to make these fractions whole
I know you know it but it’s not what you were hoping for
Know you believe that I’ll be better for it afterward
You salt the property with she might not come back for sure
