i put a lot of my heart and soul into this release, and i am so unbelievably excited to be sharing it all with y'all. this is the culmination of years of growth, change, struggle, loss, and love - hard work, made with the knowledge that i was much more than the sum of my work, yet still deeply in love with the act of creation. i hope y'all enjoy it <3

you're telling me a shrimp fried this rice? you're telling me a shrimp fell in love? you're telling me a shrimp can feel human emotions? you're telling me a shrimp can feel pain. you're telling me a shrimp could hurt me. i'm scared of you

lyrics:
i cook my dinners for an audience
at least that's what i'd like to do
lately it's me and my irrelevance
garnished with hopeless love for you

i cut these onions 'til i cry
sear my heart on every side
golden brown and lightly fried
i just don't know what i'm to do
with this meal i made for two...
unless i cook for you!

i made a home-cooked meal
full of everything i feel
and i send my love
through the searing stainless steel
i hope you feel the heat
'cause you're everything to me
have this shrimp fried rice
no more talking, lets just eat!

you cook your dinners with no elegance
nothing pretty, just some food
that might be why you're such a pessimist
every day its plain white rice and chicken breast with protein powder, it's PETULANT!!!!!!!

sous vide it slowly for a day
while the lonely hours away
watch those colors turn to grey
wouldn't your dinner feel complete
with some savory and sweet?
just come and cook with me!

i made a home-cooked meal
full of everything i feel
and i send my love
through the searing stainless steel
i hope you come and eat
'cause it's such a tasty treat
have this shrimp fried rice
grab a plate and take a seat!

OHHHHH SHRIMP MIKU IN THE PLACE TO BE
YOU WANT A SHRIMP FAJITA OR A SHRIMP SCAMPI
I GOT NINETY NINE METHODS TO PREPARE SEAFOOD
AND I'D MAKE UP A MILLION MORE FOR YOU
YOU MAKE MY HEART BEAT WILD AND FREE
NOW I'M SEEING COLORS THAT I CAN'T PERCEIVE
BABY DON'T BACK DOWN, TAKE A CHANCE ON ME
AND NO I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR SHELLFISH ALLERGY

I DON'T CARE
YOU'RE GONNA EAT THIS FRIED RICE I MADE FOR YOU
OR... OR THERE'S GONNA BE PROBLEMS
YOU HEAR ME?

i made a home-cooked meal
full of everything i feel
and i send my love
through the searing stainless steel
i hope you feel the heat
'cause you're everything to me
have this shrimp fried rice
no more talking, lets just eat!

エビチャーハン! (You’re Telling Me A SHRIMP Fried This Rice?!)

featuring the vocal synths GUMI V6 and Kasane Teto SV,
and thanks to the other me - my ally and constant companion

--

[my darling, my companion]
well, i don't know you
or at least you feel a million miles away
[my darling, my companion]
i want to share my secrets
and i want my faith in love to save the day
[my darling, i'm a constant]
this burning ache inside me
and its screaming that i always bring me down
[my darling, my companio-]
[you think until you're breaking]
[and keep your single solemn soul inside a sound]

you've toiled for a lifetime
your heart portrayed in red lines
my pigment turned a pale hue
my darling, my companion
don't think, just let me shine through
more than your comprehension
i hope you know i love you

i'll find the colors within my outline
all the things left behind
i'll find the inside that i left outside
greet myself with a poet's mind
and i chase the ghost from my heartbeat's lifeline
look where dark turns to light
i'll find the inside that i left outside
fill this vessel beyond my bloodline
learn to call myself mine

[my darling, my companion]
i wanna know you
i've a gentle heart inside a fragile shell
[my darling, my companion]
this acrid maw of yearning
it'll eat up every essence, every cell
[my darling, i'm a constant]
i try so hard to trust you
i hold out for the breakthrough
it never seems to reach you
[my darling my companio-]
[it's far too much to handle]
[but know if you're around, you're never by yourself]

i've been here 'fore you knew me
a name without a body
we both know what we've been through
my darling, my companion
don't think, just let me shine through
more than your comprehension
i hope you know i love you

i'll find the colors within my outline
all the things left behind
i'll find the inside that i left outside
greet myself with a poet's mind
and i chase the ghost from my heartbeat's lifeline
look where dark turns to light
i'll find the inside that i left outside
fill this vessel beyond my bloodline
learn to call myself mine

if love will find a way, then love will find a way
love will find a way
if love have find a way, then love will have a way
love will have a way

maybe you could stay here just a little longer
make the time pass slower
maybe you could make this last forever
and you could be my lover
so feel the warmth and the breeze on your face
ain’t it a sweet sensation? 
oh it’s a great big grand restoration
all love and adoration
oh, to be your constant companion!

My Darling, My Companion
