Slinky fin, with a mushroom grin,
Whispers jelly-latin words again.
"I saw the moon in a pasta bowl,"
Said the carp with a crooked soul.

Fungal choir on a lily pad deep,
Shallow squids have a grudge to keep.
“Stop ticklin’ my tail with your logic, Jack,
We the fish, and we talk back!”

Talkin’ back in a spore-drenched groove,
Wiggle like a walrus, can't disapprove.
Snap of a fin, cha-cha-cha,
Brain made of tofu, laws of blah.

Squish-squash jazz in the belly of a trout,
“Who named the trees?” the catfish shout!
Bassline swims in a velvet crack,
Down in Mycelium Lake, they talk back.

Oysters arguing with spores in verse,
“Reality’s a noodle — or maybe worse.”
Trombones gurgle through the fungal tide,
While a shrimp recites Hamlet, eyes all wide.

So if you drift near the moonlit slime,
Bring a pun and a nursery rhyme.
But don’t you sass that salmon snack,
‘Cause in Mycelium Lake...
The fish talk back.

Mycelium Lake

This one arrived fast.
A quiet moment turned into a song before I even realised it.
Sometimes the only way to find clarity is to write straight from the feeling.
Hope this one reaches whoever needs it.

[LYRICS]

[Verse 1]
We were talking like the world made sense,
Plans and dreams in perfect tense.
Numbers dancing on a fragile line,
Then I slipped and crossed the sign.

[Pre-Chorus]
You turned quiet, the air turned thin,
I reached out, but reason moved in.
Every word I used to build a bridge
Became a wall I hid behind again.

[Chorus]
What I meant to say was love,
Not the balance or the cost.
I was counting what we’ve built,
Not the things I thought I’d lost.
I was trying to make it clear,
But my mind got in the way—
What I meant to say was love,
But the words just went astray.

[Verse 2]
You looked down, and time stood still,
My careful logic lost its will.
I kept talking just to make it right,
But truth was softer, out of sight.

[Pre-Chorus]
You needed warmth, I offered sense,
A tangled web of my defense.
I should’ve let the silence near,
And shown my heart was staying here.

[Chorus]
What I meant to say was love,
Not the balance or the cost.
I was counting what we’ve built,
Not the things I thought I’d lost.
I was trying to make it clear,
But my mind got in the way—
What I meant to say was love,
But the words just went astray.

[Bridge]
Maybe I think too much in plans and proof,
Afraid to stand in the naked truth.
And every time I lose my way,
It’s love that pulls the mind to stay.

[Final Chorus]
What I meant to say was love,
Through the noise and through the pride.
I was lost in explanation,
When all I had to do was hide—
Inside the quiet of your eyes,
Where thoughts just fade away.
What I meant to say was love…
That’s all I meant to say.
