“Get Upset”

it’s no fun being stuffed inside this thing
came undone stealing cough drops and bandages
it’s not meant to be — it’s just entropy
it’s not meant to be

i don’t trust anything i can’t give back
when i feel your heart beating i get upset — it’s unfortunate

you’re strung out lying supine in this place
with such grace as a sandbag in Anchorage
just yesterday — you were here with me
just yesterday

i don’t trust anything i can’t give back
when i feel your heart beating i get upset — it’s unfortunate

oh they filled you up with tiny diamonds
oh how you’d crumble to coals
and they’d fill you up with tiny diamonds
oh they filled you up with tiny diamonds

Get Upset

LYRICS:
Blame it on the time 
Blame it on the writings on the wall
Blame it on our minds
Blame it on the alcohol 
Blame it on the things, things we can't control 
Blame it on the stars, blame it on this big black hole 

None of it will help
Cause I blame myself 
I've been holding out, holding out 
I'm so far past numb 
My heart's a broken drum 
I've been playing out, playing out  

I'm a shell, I'm a skeleton
I am flesh and blood alone 
I can move but won't be moved 
You're one more thing for me to lose 
And I am breaking at the bone 

Blame it on the night, blame it on the cold December sun 
Blame it on the light, blame it on the clouds that we fell from 
Blame it on the Patron Saint of California
Blame it on this nocturnal thing that I've become 

There's an empty sea 
Where this heart used to be 
I've been holding on, holding on
Currents running wild 
You're searching for my smile
You've been holding on, holding on

I'm a shell, I'm a skeleton
I am flesh and blood alone 
I can move but won't be moved 
You're one more thing for me to lose 
And I am breaking at the bone 

I'm a shell, I'm a skeleton
I am flesh and blood alone 
I can move but won't be moved 
You're one more thing I'm gonna lose 
And I am breaking at the bone

Wretched Piece

"Afterparty" is a record to cry to and then swiftly get up and dance around in your underwear to. "Afterparty" blends the buttery tones of a backroom bar piano with the frenetic energy of a One Direction concert circa 2011. Send "Afterparty" to your grandma or your coworker or that cute guy from your Intro to PoliSci class. Idk guys I really loved working on this EP and I hope you have fun listening to it!

What I imagine Maggie may have done if she had risen to fame in 1988...

Light On (Maggie Rogers Cover)

From the imaginary album of the same name. Maybe someday I'll buy the rights and actually record them all. lol
