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
-
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 dogsI have a silk-walled room and
I don’t worry about the outside
I am safe when I’m aloneMaybe 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 chanceTo join the great big world
Even though, people are evil
I am safe with others aroundI have a silk-walled room and
I don’t worry about the outside
I am safe with others aroundThat’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 tooWe’ll run to my silk-walled room
We won’t worry about the outside
We are safe with each other aroundI 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
again
and
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 lights
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
again
and
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
-
Elephants are loyal
They look out for their herd
And they foster memories
And comfort those who are sadElephants will voyage
in parades across great plains
and they’ll join other herds
Especially those who need protectionThey’re a matriarchal society
where mother teaches calfs manners
And calfs stay by momma’s side
Til their ready to start their own paradeBut as the mother grows old
Her children return
They’ll stand tall with the departed
So we must stand tall for herCause 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 anotherShe’s the great forest matriarch
And she’s heading to the sky
Above the world like Dumbo
We always knew she could flyShe 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
-
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 shameI am the lonely man
there’s no need to smite
I was s’possed to be her white knightwhy 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 triteThere 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 plightfor I’m a weak, lonely man
without the foresight
that I’d cue a second midnight slightthe desperate, lonely man
rejects himself tonight
and he stays with her until first lightgood 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 //////////
