Sight Lines is the second single off of his debut EP of the same name. The song features vocals from Toronto singer/songwriter, Carmen Elle of DIANA. The two have worked together, with Carmen featured on the first single The Wrong Side.

Sight Lines is about feeling invisible, like a ghost roaming the streets of a cacophonous city. A ghost with hungry eyes, in desperate need for approval, love, and an intimate connection. The music video for this song follows the same themes, with moving, fast-paced imagery, it leaves a lot to the imagination.
