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



Silk Walled Room

a song about leaving isolation and finding safety through connection

Silk Walled Room | Demo
Jacob Foltz
  • What is the world coming to
    Everyone leaves each other in the dirt
    I’m a lucky one cause I have a place
    Where dogs don’t eat dogs

    I have a silk-walled room and
    I don’t worry about the outside
    I am safe when I’m alone

    Maybe I should change what I’m doing here
    There’s no excitement there’s no fear
    Is solitude really luck?
    If I leave now, I will have a chance

    To join the great big world
    Even though, people are evil
    I am safe with others around

    I have a silk-walled room and
    I don’t worry about the outside
    I am safe with others around

    That’s when I met you, lisping girl
    This feeling is there when your not
    When the world ends I’m sure we won’t
    And when I run away, you will too

    We’ll run to my silk-walled room
    We won’t worry about the outside
    We are safe with each other around

    I have a silk-walled room and
    I don’t worry about the outside
    We are safe with each other around

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

Matriarch

a song written for my grandma after her passing, one of our last conversations was about her favorite movie Dumbo, which is woven into the lyrics and feel

Matriarch | Demo
Jacob Foltz
  • Elephants are loyal
    They look out for their herd
    And they foster memories
    And comfort those who are sad

    Elephants will voyage
    in parades across great plains
    and they’ll join other herds
    Especially those who need protection

    They’re a matriarchal society
    where mother teaches calfs manners
    And calfs stay by momma’s side
    Til their ready to start their own parade

    But as the mother grows old
    Her children return
    They’ll stand tall with the departed
    So we must stand tall for her

    Cause she taught us our manners
    Cause she taught us how to protect our herd
    Cause she taught us the joins of raising a calf
    Cause she taught us to remember to love one another

    She’s the great forest matriarch
    And she’s heading to the sky
    Above the world like Dumbo
    We always knew she could fly

    She can fly. She can fly.
    She can fly. She can fly.
    She can fly. She can fly.
    She can fly. So high.

    She can fly. She can fly.

    She flies.

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

Ghost in the Green Light | Demo
Jacob Foltz
  • who do you think you are
    you've got no one else to blame
    I watched in the rain by cold frames
    it’s you who’s drenched
    in the shame

    I am the lonely man
    there’s no need to smite
    I was s’possed to be her white knight

    why do you think you're here
    the desires you couldn't tame
    but you disclaim
    you take aim
    at the man you wronged - what’s my name?

    I don’t want to be lonely, man
    so, tonight I’ll rewrite
    come here man, let me tell you something trite

    There ain't no news about your muse!
    This ain’t no ruse, I exclaim!
    Please excuse the accused!
    And the dues you’ve come to claim!
    It was the booze!
    It was the schmooze!
    Please snooze, you’re so lame!
    I don’t know who’s got more to lose!
    Since I refused I defamed your dame!

    Please don’t will me for!

    I am the lonely man
    can’t sleep in hindsight
    so I’ll go upstairs and extricate my plight

    for I’m a weak, lonely man
    without the foresight
    that I’d cue a second midnight slight

    the desperate, lonely man
    rejects himself tonight
    and he stays with her until first light

    good night



////////// 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
//////////
