Oh god Cjbeards unlocked the trumpet he's getting too powerful

the sirens are powerful with T R U M P E T

Curiosity is often locked by a steep price. I learned that its time for you too.

I’m so obsessed with this song idk why 🥲

Curiosity killed the cat, but Satisfaction brought it back!  That's why Cat's have 9 lives

Hush! hush!
Listen to the Varied Thrush
The freezing rain has
Pushed them down into the valley
With the rest of us
Flushed
From the comfortably lush
Forest floor
They draw their bows across
Serrated edges of
Musical saws and crush
The frigid, sharply pointed hearts
Of icicles like us

Crush, crush, crush,
Crush, crush, crush,
Crush, crush, crush,
Crush, crush, crush,
Crush, crush, crush,
Crush, crush, crush,
Crush, crush, crush...

Swish! swish!
The Osprey hovers seeking fish
The glassy pond
Displays the menu but won't serve the dish
To birds who wish
To linger when
The air turns cold
Defying pressure
To defer to Cackling Geese
And Western

Gulls, wish, wish,
Wish, wish, wish,
Wish, wish, wish,
Wish, wish, wish,
Wish, wish, wish,
Wish, wish, wish,
Wish, wish, wish...

Who doesn't wish they could
Begin
To leave?
Who doesn't wish they could
Believe
In letting something end?
We have these wishes
But we're hung up
On a superstitious
Focus on the family
We see in Collared Doves
With love much stronger
Than we probably
Should ever hope
For ours to be.

Are we a "we are" today?
Will we be a "we will be" tomorrow?
Were we a "we were" already
Long ago?
We don't know
What price makes sense to pay,
So we settle for indebted sorrow,
Never knowing we could dine and
Dash into that nullifying snow.

Thrash! thrash!
The so-called trash birds
Taking baths
Betray their cuteness
In the recklessness with which
They lash
Their lustrous feathers
Petroleum with flecks of ash
In an unseasonable
Puddle
Glaciating fast

Splash, splash, splash,
Splash, splash, splash,
Splash, splash, freeze,
Splash, splash, splash,
Freeze, splash, splash,
Splash, splash, splash,
Splash, splash, freeze,
Splash, splash, splash...

Hush! hush!
Listen to the Varied Thrush
Hush! hush!
Hush! hush!
Listen to the Varied Thrush,
Hush! hush!
Hush! hush!
Hush! hush!
Hush! hush!

Varied Thrush

I have had this song on the backburner for a while now and I’m super glad I got it to a place where I feel good about releasing it! It has been a number of months since I made a song where I wrote my own lyrics/vocal melody and I love the play on words I had with this one. Also the finished version you see here is actually not the only version of the song I made. I originally made the song with a more slow-paced/chill feel, and I’ll add that version below for anyone curious. I love working with new vocalists as well and it was really cool to work with Trenton on this one, hope you all like some jazzy vibes :)

Hey Peabrain! U Levitate?

Verse
Oh you gotta watch him
He’s gon’ give you nothing but problems
When he starts you’re never gonna stop him
King of clinically insane
I suggest you run away
Pre
By the time you’ve realised
The games already over
Better find a place to hide
Cause once you’re in
You can’t come out
Chorus
With the monster
You’re with the monster
With the monster
You’re with the monster

Verse
Oh now you’ve done it
You’ve woken up the beast
I tried to warn ya
But you won’t listen to me
Close your eyes and say goodbye
You’ll feel this when it’s over
You shouldn’t have rolled the dice
You’re playing with your life
Pre
By the time you’ve realised
The games already over
Better find a place to hide
Cause once you’re in
You can’t come out

Chorus
With the monster
You’re with the monster
With the monster
You’re with the monster

Bridge
Close your eyes and say goodnight
Your times already over..
With the monster
Chorus
You’re with the monster
With the monster
(you’re times already over)
You’re with the monster
With the monster

I couldn’t leave you all hanging on my last short instrumental, so two weeks later here we are! You might be able to tell from the lyrics I made this song around Halloween time, and had quite a bit of fun experimenting with some gnarly bass sounds. I’ll be back soon!

Trick Or Traitor

Burn

Lyrics:

One small sound
One small word 
In tongues all over the world
I said it
I said it 
One small word
I said it
I didn't
I said it
I didn't
Tongues all over

Can't pick them out
Can't press them in 
I'll never hide my scars
Can't pick them out
Can't press them in
I'll never hide my scars 
I'll never hide my scars 

One small sound
One small sight 
One unsheathed knife must glint 
In an alternate timeline's light
One rust-ridden blade juts out 
Of a friendly moonstruck shape
To tear, tear terribly, terribly
Tear, tear terribly 
The delicate crepe of night

Familiarity breeds
Indifference
Familiarity breeds discontent
Familiarity breeds
Indifference
Familiarity breeds discontent

My other time machine
A pungent, putrid brownish-green 
November smile 
Blandishing my two-timing door

One small sound
One small bite
One tomial tooth
One Loggerhead Shrike must skewer 
My invertebrate doppelgänger 
On barbed wire in a parallel universe 

My tongue parallelly bleeds 
One small drop 
In a monthful of blood 
In tongues all over the world
I said it, I didn't
It doesn't matter
What I said or didn't
Admit it
You were never going to get it
I was always gonna get it

Can't pick them out
Can't press them in 
I'll never hide my scars
Can't pick them out
Can't press them in
I'll never hide my
Familiarity breeds
Familiarity breeds

Not only is it thicker
Blood is stickier than water
Maybe that's relevant somehow
Can I explode now?

November

Lyrics:

Sparks fly 
Every time I
Identify a species I have
Hitherto never 
Seen in the field 
Seen in the feather 
Sparkbird 
Destiny drew us together 
Every smile line on my face 
Can be retraced 
Down to the split second 
Down to the split place 

Is it magical thinking 
Or is it magical realism 
Or is it neither here nor there? 
Every time I check my wrist 
It's another brand new freckle 
Past another brand new hair 
I'm growing up, up, up 
Against my will, will 
Will you finally resurrect 
The time I've killed? 
Will you finally resurrect 
The time I've killed, killed, killed? 

Sparks fly 
Every time I visit this park 
I envision the phantom 
Of a giddy little cartoon me 
Jittering on the electrifying
Cusp of discovery 
Before and after the storm 
All I wanted was to be seen
And to see

Some signs of a world still
Turning, turning, turning 
Some signs of a world still
Forming, forming, forming 
Rebirth of a dream still
Burning, burning, burning

Is it magical thinking 
Or is it magical realism 
Or is it neither here nor there? 
Every time I check my wrist 
It's another brand new freckle 
Past another brand new hair 
I'm growing up, up, up 
Against my will, will 
Will you finally resurrect 
The time I've killed? 
Will you finally resurrect 
The time I've killed, killed, killed?

I originally created this song as another take on the ending string melody from one of my previous songs, “By My Side”. After having gone back I realized how much I loved that melody, and with Scarlett nailing the vocal as per usual, when all was said and done this song turned out to be a new favorite of mine. Looking forward to exploring this style more in the future!

Boo Hoo (feat. Scarlett)

https://ditto.fm/circus-aviva

Hey, let’s dive back into dark pop with two amazing artists! Here’s our new song, ‘CIRCUS’ with AViVA and Shiah Maisel. I’m so thrilled about this release that I even made a lyric video for it. I hope you’ll like it! 

Thanks for listening, and I’d really appreciate your feedback 🙏 
Below is a brief description and the lyrics...

The song explores a world of turmoil and deceit, where rage simmers beneath the surface and empty words mask insecurities. Amidst the chaos, the voice refuses to be silenced, fighting for truth. Grotesque and organic elements, powerful bass, and synthesizers heighten the unease, while the striking vocals of Aviva and Shiah Maisel add depth and expression to the track.

AViVA & Mblue & Shiah Maisel - Circus Lyrics

This world is one scary place 
I’m afraid I can’t contain the rage 
You don’t know but always like debating 
Your hollow heart needs something to believe in
 
You thought you’d see me broken I gotta disagree 
Cause when everyone is chokin’ I’ll fight to keep words free 
Knocked me in the face when I asked you a question 
There’s no justification 
The circus is raging
The circus is raging 
The circus is raging
Yeah, the circus is raging
Nana no justification 
Yeah, the circus is raging
Nana no justification
But this is not the end 

Shadows creeping ‘cross your face 
Can’t hide the hate guess it’s too late 
Pretend to care but you don’t see it 
Your words are empty but you think you mean them 
You tried to fool me once but 
Hey! I’m always stronger than I seem 
Behind your bright smile you are screaming 
In this ring of chaos where fear reigns supreme  

Just shut up 
Not getting through to no one 
Don’t wanna hear any more  
Or I’ll start slamming the doors  
But all your screamings ignored 
Just gotta silence the roar 
Love to hate me, love to hurt me 
Cuz you’re still insecure

You thought you’d see me broken I gotta disagree 
Cause when everyone is chokin’ I’ll fight to keep words free 
Knocked me in the face when I asked you a question 
There’s no justification 
The circus is raging 
The circus is raging 
The circus is raging
Yeah, the circus is raging
Nana no justification 
Yeah, the circus is raging
Nana no justification
But this is not the end
But this is not the end

Nana no justification 
Yeah, the circus is raging
Nana no negotiations

Marco Polo

Ever wonder what it might be like to be hunted by a vampire? Well hopefully this song and the wonderful Scarlett can show you! If you listen closely you might also be able to hear similar sounds to a different song of mine that I used as a starting point when working on this one, hope you all like it!

Lyrics:

I found an antidote
I let the anger go
And Mother Nature found its place

We’re now compatible
My inner animal
I wanted blood and got a taste

These nights are getting darker 
My claws are getting sharper
I’m strong enough to enter the fray

You were whispering my name
Now I’m finally taking aim
And the predator’s becoming the prey

Now the beast has come to play

The end will come in time 
Lay hands upon your spine
Apply the pressure till it breaks

Any of your kind
Can become one of mine
A little push is all it takes

These nights are getting darker 
My claws are getting sharper
I’m strong enough to enter the fray

You were whispering my name
Now I’m finally taking aim
And the predator’s becoming the prey

Now the beast has come to play

Moving silent in the moonlight
Silver coated crimson bathed
I’m a hunter in my own right
Can’t kill the creature that you made

Now the beast has come to play

White

Beast
