mi-ma’s lab song tutorial series

half album, half tutorial series, navigating the chaos of Oxygen Not Included


His red hand scratches my neck
Delicate, violent, he leaves his mark
I’m elegant, divine, but only from his eye
For he is the master and I am the subject

He is nothing without his power, his lust
And while he toys with demons
I wait, wide-eyed for his instruction.

I do not need him, for I’ve devoured snakes denser than he
I want him to control me like a marionette
My body is his canvas
My face is his clay
And his touch is my breath away from the throne

I could eat him, like the others before him
Yet he does not fear me —
the diamond duchess
the white widow of royality
He does not fear me
That is why he controls me

But when he betrays me, which he will, when he thinks he has proper control, I will ravage his insides with my teeth and re-emerge a crimson queen. His fate is inevitable, infinite.

But for now, I embrace his red hand

Lost Orchestras

V2

Verse 1
Consume hell’s pyre
I’m burning up
Scorch my desires
Can’t get enough
Restrain your ghost
Turn out the light
Paint your body in the moon’s white

Verse 2
Soak in the beach choir’s
forbidden theme
your hem catches fire
Your cold eyes beam
In the soot I chase you
Up the rockface
Beneath the whitecaps Looms your disgrace

Chorus 1
Cause I know you know I know we know
You won’t see me again
I’ve seen you looking for me in lost orchestras
But you won’t see me again

Verse 3
Your skiffs arranged
Our faces swap
Like prairie vole estranged 
I’ll live in rot
Do you think of me
An extinguished plight
Did the winds of your parting
Guide passage through the night

Chorus 2
Cause I know you know I know we know
You won’t see me again
But you know I know that you still love me so
I’m chained beneath the sea tides with sin

Outro
As you grow older our love is played on instruments and you will hear it again and again

As you grow older our love is played on instruments and you will hear it again and again

As you grow older our love is played on instruments and you will hear it again and again

As you grow older our love is played on instruments and you will hear it again and again

As you grow older our love is played on instruments and you will hear it again and again

Lost Orchestras

V1

Verse 1
Coming on like hellfire
I’m burning up
Is it passion or desire
Can’t
have enough
And I’ve seen your green ghost
Turn out the light
s
As I paint your body In the moon light

Verse 2
We sing around the campfire
Our only
theme
And when you catch fire
Your cold eyes beam
On the beach I chase you
Up the rockface
Hiding in the dark mist an inner disgrace

Chorus 1
Cause I know you know I know we know
You won’t see me again
I’ve seen you looking for me in lost orchestras
But you won’t see me again

Verse 3
The pastels are with you
Our
faces trade
I can feel it in your soul
You can’t be swayed
For you must leave now
Our time is up
I try to hold on
But I’m burning up

Chorus 2
Cause I know you know I know we know
You won’t see me again
But you know I know that you still love me so
I stare down our beach cliffs again

Outro
As
we grow older our love is played on instruments and you will hear it again and again

As
we grow older our love is played on instruments and you will hear it again and again

As
we grow older our love is played on instruments and you will hear it again and again

As
we grow older our love is played on instruments and you will hear it again and again

As
we grow older our love is played on instruments and you will hear it again and again

Jabberwocky’s Lullaby

When you’re lost amongst the trees,
Search for water. Find the rising stream.
Down the river, do not drown.
Slip by shadows without a sound.

When you cannot reach the seas.
Look around you. Pray it’s not a dream.
Pinch yourself until you frown.
Careful now. Nightmares inbound.

When you cannot seem to scream
Jabberwocky plays a nasty scheme
Eyes wide open. Feet are bound.
It’s claw tickles when up is down.

As it’s cockeyed faces grin
Stab it’s pale tooth deep within your skin
Pierce your heart to cut its binds
But if you miss the end is nigh

On the advent of your death
Jabberwocky engulfs your last breath
Suckling your blood and bones,
it leaves your skin lying alone

As your soul leaves the deceased
You’re transported to the highest seas
Trace the sunset with your eyes
One day I’ll meet you in the skies



Ghost in the Green Light

a confessional song of love, shame, and self destruction

////////// my mind is weak // my feet turn to dust // I walk with ideals of wanderlust //////////
//////////
face is clay //////////
////////// I broke the bread made from the dark ash // on the cusp of things I dare not ask
//////////
