you look so good my eyes are killing me for looking at you you went and took you went and took my autonomy sometimes some pretty words erupt from your mouth when you're talking to me beat every word cuz you're good at that and you use it on me i sew my fate into my skin when i let you on me but you wont get off you live on every single hard drive and tree

boop 01:58
watch that rift in my stomach so it dont take me out again stand there like an old and bitter post so they dont pull me out again stop there you've built a wall around your ghost so it wont be your friend again
5.
twister 00:40
doesnt phase me anymore i dont even know the score i stopped watching around last week you can call it optimism you're looking right but in the wrong position this twister that you play is costing lives

monochroma 02:00

world weary 02:58
world weary i will roam instead of hurling my phone at the nearest billboard i wont need either anymore cuz its a lonely world out there its cool to admit you're scared and get your handlebars get your oxygen mask get your sea legs have your after party get your throw away battery have your rising sea breath your free air have no cares nothing is coming for you no matter what you do your house will be safe all your things will be safe your life will be great you wont even have to wait

i rewrite this song every year, and will continue to rewrite it every year. this time i just started slamming layers and layers of vocals into it and seeing how far i could go before i deemed too chaotic, which it did, expecially the end lmao but kinda like it for its untethered chaos. you know what its like when you cannot abide (two four) you know where to go when the object is to hide (i have seen) and no (too many wars) thats not giving up (where i shouldnt see) thats freedom that they never took (any at all) maybe in a distance or a measure of time there will a moment where all of your problems sort into a comedial file you'll sit down and read it just before you die (sounds like it fell) five six seven eight a stare that hates (here's a world for you) and tosses aside every word you say (heres a world for you) and right i should give it up and pull my side out of the potluck and fair (maybe if you knew what to do) impasse like a glare (maybe if you knew what to do) pushing through every single layer and you stand there like a dog fearless some and stupid lots maybe if you knew when to stop you wouldnt always be lost

i learned something i shouldnt have but in the end it was good cuz now i know i know whats gonna happen next so do what you do you'll say what you say cuz thats what you do that's what you do.

here is something you can hold over time your rights have been rolled if you hadnt known would you know and if you hadn't bought would you have sold thats all there is to know your measures cannot count up this toll speeding mossy beaches you blow with weapons you can barely even hold

your capsule isnt holding weight and im inside isnt that funny? no i lied its obvious your feeling isnt wrong often even if it isnt given up it is gone and someone lost while your idol rides proudly on fickle machine that you cannot even lick clean but you try and thats on you your angle is a fluid that your call by your name and im not really sorry but thats lame and you're insane.
15.
i've stopped reading the words on the screen my time on rotary arresting me over the hill you might fall out you will see its good for you now it wont always be under the bridge over the hill
16.
found a broken o-ring i'm gonna teach it how to sing you've sold me a broken air filter this place, covered in litter I can't see out of my portside window and I can't read any of the signs on the walk home someone shoulda told me how it goes cuz as far as I can tell i still don't know
17.

that's fine 01:57
inside you there's a warden that you call upon a steady pace to keep the calm i hope its not a man or drunk on the job but that's likely temptation like a saddle that you ride upon a schism in you splits just like an atom bomb tearing up your soul and with it all your love and thats fine you're settled cuz it isnt in that different part of your town and it takes a clown to pull it all out but nobody can stop you cuz you arent real even if we tried we couldnt turn the wheel an inch close to what it really is but thats life
19.
i'm supposed to tell you? aren't i supposed to know too? leave it alone i ask you you're swinging my head leave it alone im turning blue and soon ill be dead you see how it changes gravity explains this leave it alone she said i wanna go to bed leave it alone unsupervised the smartest thing you've said
20.
you havent been kind with what you leave behind what's that sound? what's that sound? boots on ground a flash of light colliding skies when you come around how can we barely crawl when the lines of our search fold that's not right that's not right substance in flight but somethings there that assumptions fair but that's as far as it goes that's as far as it goes
21.
i saw a man walk off i watched the body drop i've been around some i never saw never saw that your words float up there get tangled in my hair i never thought never thought of that
22.
some goodbye 02:24
when will you learn after you get burned then you go outside and you see its not so bright you can shield your eyes but its not cutting it once it happened twice and i wish you saw your eyes lit up double size like you're in a k hole then some goodbye your hands aside the air so fine that it's got a shock to it once you live up to your myth ill let you off on a hitch sue me then go to sleep for a long long year i will watch you fall apart drifting off your a la carte hope it doesnt trash your art
23.
24.
over there 04:22
you've got your 4 year old keyboard your dining chair you're dispensing misery but you don't care but someone watches you someone watches you over there but you don't know you don't know that they're there cuz if you did if you did it wouldnt be fair cuz you'd just run you'd just run over there give up your 40 year ego theres nothing there and if you'd stop for a moment and sow up your tears but something tricks you something has it out for you you're in the dark in the dark and you don't know what to do but thats just fine that's just fine with you cuz even in light time flew
25.
ha ha funny 02:12
never got past first take shitty vocals on this one and probably never will. ha ha funny you're so funny you're so funny and so full of jokes you're so clever you're so smart you'd know how to get out or maybe not you're so healthy you're so tall you'd know all about how I am small you're so simple you're so far you'd know all about how to set the bar
26.
something is coming from the backstage running i am living in my own little bubble with him now i have been here for far too long i am living in a world where i dont know where i come from and its exhausting cuz if you could sping it on your own little axis would it still land in the same place or would it vapourise your praxis cuz you teeter through one of five impossible options sprouting from a soil that you polluted long ago thats aprapo
27.
null exposure some composure its a motorboat so you dont float its a rocket ship so you dont choke its your battle for a shorter rope its your alibi for being alone or roll over don't come closer its a hellscape but you don't smoke its a time trial and you get close heres a grave to dig so you don't bloat heres illusion for your empty goal
28.
how about the people run how about a loaded gun what's about to come undone what about the chosen one how about the place you're from wanna watch it all go wrong?
29.
funny little game nobody wins heres a pile of abstract guilt dig in ill teach you a lesson right now conclusions are a myth there is dissonance in what you see and what exists
30.
calling time 03:00

loco-votive 01:42
at the end of my track ill just come right back only to drop dead again once is not enough twice will only make you tough i'm only in it for avoidant rest when i had my head took it everywhere then i left it on the drying rack im rolling time it reaches out and i reach for it
34.
i am climbing it i haven't made it yet dissapointing message i admit but at least im telling it tenner down four to go the faster we run quicker they slow criminally hypnotic wallpaper it is haunting me the sheer exposure is astounding im surprised its not imprinted on me id settle down for a mo if there was a place i could go up there
35.
36.
something is wrong there's a warble in my song and i cant catch it out i'm in a sickly roundabout there's a notch in my rope all alone it floats something between frayed and tight something that eats up all my light settle down you if only backwards you grew simmer down you in the end you'll only lose
37.
subterfuge is coming for you is running through every space and good for you you've got stuff to do you've got worlds to view and all in your garden what a view from the misty loop from impossible stoops and all in your head
38.
this shit sucks mannnnn i ahte this one mannn run away sprint to the nearest fire escape on your way there you'll lose your way and sit with your screaming concience and when they say that they're on the back of a hurricane you'll text back that you're on your way twiddling your idle thumbs but on the day that your head gets out of its cage figures that there's only one good way to find an even minor trace you'll find it says that theres only constructed space hiding for an hour you'll feel afraid nothing can contain the stillness

26 02:12
two, four i know more I have seen too many wars where I shouldnt see any at all one two three four im in hell i know that this is getting weird and well i think that I should bucket pitch for the greater good but I i should find make believe before its yanked from me i should figure out a strategy before it's spoiled for me five six seven eight a stare that hates and tossses aside every word you say and right i should give it up pull my side out of the potluck and fair impass like a glare pushing through every single layer and you stand there like a dog fearless some and stupid lots maybe if you knew when to stop you wouldnt always be lost
40.
this life is boring and i fell in with the right wing so purpose here purpose there opposition to what should be fair i am still writing this part okay chill this guy is pouring his impotence all over me!! now im caught in the swing of his barrel its hot metal darts like the sun i am still writing this part chill alright chill
41.
42.
run with me gather cram into a small space then humanise it give it a little cute face so its all sweet and kind and anywhere but out of your mind cuz everywhere else it mows you down it breaks your window stains your walls (so you cant see) it always shows up at the town halls (uh oh) and always ready to give it all
43.
something has gone awry it lit up the whole damn sky you haven't found me yet and you won't i bet it creeps in through back doors seeps into every floor it shimmers like gasoline the colour and gradient gleans
44.
halogen glow 05:18
if i had stopped to ask you how many miles we've tangled with if ever there was a time to ask it its riding thin then you go bye bye and then botch the flyby and soon you'll give another one in all while i spin if you had stopped to ask me which way to go from here if you had stopped leading you'd know how to give in now you don't know me and true I gave a little too much how long did you stop by? noone'll know but I cuz i was the only the eye halogen glow where did you run to? a rapid freeze only two feet above you and not dead yet
45.
old demo reworked you seem so small what happened to you where did you go i saw you everywhere you were even in my hair big planet long distance to travel alone travel with no one to home my sense of smell my sight my hearing and my mind (mind your own business) like ocean waves will wash away the sun you used to be so raw where did you go again two gasoline fires coalesce i've been diving since 2018 i'm running away from my dreams vicious skirmish constant blows i can't go home i am climbing on the wall i hope i don't fall cuz if I did that would really suck i hope i dont
46.
it is cool up there? all i'd do is stare i'd kill to be like you the creek and also the stream too ordered attention mind you
47.
bleed me forward, out of body breathing hardly any problems meeting already passed, urgent deadline reeling from a dream, of back in time its sorta like i'm a window i lead out to another window and what if that window was you as a metaphor i'm sure that would do but if you want I can break it for you cuz you think that's the right thing to do
48.
49.
it's not a pattern at all it's hardly there and all you can see if i was to dull it down so much so that it would be something i only notice occasionally its giving it far too little credit for how much it permeates
