    this is a second edition press of liam and the bees’ ‘this part of the river is the darkest part,’ an album originally released in december 2014. it documents liam’s journey through his first manic episode as he initially discovered he had bipolar disorder.

    fluidity, and the grey areas of life, are themes in liam’s journey through mania, his gender, and his music. this album challenges the notion of binary existence through the lenses of mental illness, recovery, queerness, and gender identity.

    there is cautious exploration, bold movement forward, mourning and grief, ecstatic joy, fear, anger, playfulness — and acceptance, ultimately, of our own personal demons.

there are ghosts on my window there are ghosts in my mind sometimes i don't want to look outside 'cause i'm scared of what i'll find can't always trust the things i see nighttime is a frighttime shadows on every corner haunting me wanna run but i can't escape these beasts 'cause they travel inside my head chew up everything i have and leave me for dead CHORUS: crazy or dead, what kind of options are those won't make a choice to lose my shit or leave this earth behind so i guess i'll just accept the demons in my mind i guess i'll just accept the demons in my mind don't know how i do it but i refuse to succumb even if my only solution is just to be numb there has to be a place where safety is king and i'll just keep searching until i find the right key CHORUS
