lyrics
You wanna try again,
I'm almost in your reach now,
Almost let my guard down.
Hear you call and cry out,
"It's so good to see you,"
Whoops I didn't mean to,
Let out all the truth but,
What's the point of lies now,
I wanna let my guard down.
[PRECHORUS]
I wanna let my guard down,
I wanna let my guard down!
[CHORUS]
I'll admit that I was callous, darling, to call you lost,
I'll admit I was embarrassed, darling, because I used to call you lots,
Well baby regardless, this is the end for me,
I'm gone, I'm moving on - find some other loser instead of me.
Here you voice in these walls,
Feel it ring in each brick,
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Loved you 'cause you're different,
Hate you 'cause you're too weird,
It's not easy to see clear
Settle is my worst fear,
You don't understand how,
I wanna let my guard down.
[PRECHORUS]
I wanna let my guard down,
I wanna let my guard down!
[CHORUS]
I'll admit that I was callous, darling, to call you lost,
I'll admit I was embarrassed, darling, because I used to call you lots,
Well baby regardless, this is the end for me,
I'm gone, I'm moving on - find some other loser instead of me.
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[CHORUS]
I'll admit that I was callous, darling, to call you lost,
I'll admit I was embarrassed, darling, because I used to call you lots,
Well baby regardless, this is the end for me,
I'm gone, I'm moving on - find some other loser instead of me.

Special thanks to Nick Coulshed, Nicol Holtzhausen and Chloe Walters for putting up with me recording my demos during the exam period, as well as Avni Garg, Anu Ganapathy and my family for being REISERs from day one.
Very special thanks to Daniel Holmes, Michael Hanna and Laurence Tang. I wouldn't be here without your continued advice, guidance and support.
hawkeye reis is the blues emo project of acoustic singer/songwriter ali reis.
combining
traditional blues one-man-one-guitar intimacy with the intensity of pop-punk lyrics, hawkeye reis is no stranger to the collision of two worlds. reis’ third independent album “satisfactory” is an in-depth study of fence-sitting, a scrutiny of never being enough for either side.
Turbulent indie rock from Levi Fuller & the Library that has the snarl of hardcore and the knotty meter of math rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 13, 2018
A new single from David Luximon is mesmerizing and atmospheric, soulful vocals alternating with heartfelt spoken word. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2020
