thx mom and dad for helping with the cover art

Do you know how to be eighteen?
Do you know how to send your dream?
I'm talking schemes to the max, I'm talking all of your facts
I'm talking all of the time, I'm talking all of the time

We still got a summer to spend
Waste our fucking time, we're taking acid again
And everything I got it all belongs to my friends
Everything is love, but I can never commit

My old swiss army knife
Stem cells, nothing is direct
Everything is love, everything is love
Take the leap, welcome to the plant cell bath

It's bright white, a new kind of mindset
A little clinical, never cynical no
Remember getting your brand new phone?
Remember doing that on your own?

Like being in charge, and fucking it up
What was good became a mess and you thought giving up was
Inevitable, but suddenly...
You feel a supercharge of life

My old swiss army knife
Stem cells, nothing is direct
Everything is love, everything is love
Take the leap, welcome to the plant cell bath

REM, get it all in
Alex found a rabbit now she's wondering if
This world's the place for her
You gotta stop smoking this shit...

Don't be frightened you are in a car
You've just woken up from sleep
I imagine you were in a dream
You are in a dream

My old swiss army knife
Stem cells, nothing is direct
Everything is love, everything is love
Take the leap, welcome to the plant cell bath

REM, at the party last week
You're going off of the grid
I'm just pressing repeat
Cause and effect, building my flying machine
Take the leap, welcome to the plant cell bath

welcome to the plant cell bath

Scene 6: The air traffic control tower

Things can only go up from here

yeah i believe in God,
but i really need this money
you dialed up my natal chart
and i woke up in a library
an ancient library
you hardly know what i’ve been through

yeah i’ve been feeling kind of odd
you could say i’m out of sorts
we need drugs for summertime
cuz summer’s getting awful short
the kids need something to go thru

ok
i’m gonna say something weird
i swear
we aren’t consumed by fear
nonono
so if it’s up in the air
it’s only up from

The air traffic control tower

so you think you’re a scientist
on the precipice
girls doing cannonballs
what is this experiment
you said i’m delusional
what are you even talking about
you must’ve lost your mind
well i think you should shut your mouth

you sure are a philosopher
of a different caliber
so can i ask you something?
what do you think of the (drugs)?
cuz i think
the kids need something to go thru

it’s like there’s the drugs
and there’s me
like two separate cameras on the same scene
what do the drugs see from me
i need to know what the drugs think

i need to know

i’m gonna say something weird
i swear
we aren’t consumed by fear
nonono
so if it’s up in the air
it’s only up from here

at the The air traffic control tower

You need to change your mind
You need to say what you really mean
Cuz we're not gonna be here forever
no no no
And the sooner you learn to accept that—
—the sooner you and I are going to get along

you don't wanna make another mistake
the changes are slated,
impossible to erase
i thought i was mutilated, a massive mistake
but i have literally always been this way

you can't get mad at the kid
just to harbor the blame
i get that you're just a person
but you're fucking insane
i wanna get better
but you belong to my brain
i'm circumscribing a message
and you're repeating my name

Scene 1: The family reunion

You were snoring O.D. saw the particle fx
Last time we talked you didn’t know what to expect
So I laid this map out just to see where things connect
You went on vacation but baby I’m on a quest

Welcome to the family reunion
Everybody missed you a lot
You came at the perfect time
Cuz everybody—everyone is stuck in this knot 
I’m not looking for power, but I’m completely powerless
At the family reunion, I didn’t mean to talk about it
But you said that my calling was completely unrelated to this…
(Oh shit, shit I don’t know what to tell you)

You were snoring O.D. saw the particle fx
Last time we talked you didn’t know what to expect
I deliver products and I do my very best
You left on vacation baby, I left on this quest

But every time I look down, I see death
Or maybe something else, but it gives me the ick
Who would have thought after all this time away
I’d have to report back with nothing to say…

You were snoring O.D. saw the particle fx
Last time we talked you didn’t know what to expect
I’m sorry that I lashed out when you put me to the test
But I can’t be on vacation baby I’ve been on a quest

report back

Scene 2: The Savvy & Optimism Alley

I was walking down the street,
I was looking at my feet
Something told me give it up, just admit defeat
But something caught my eye
It took my breath away
A beautiful hot air balloon makes a getaway escape!

I've been here before it's not the first time
You told me how to live the last time that we talked
I've been on this block
Yeah I've been through this alley
I found something new,
I found—

The Nile River
Nazareth
Tennessee
& Timbuktu
Somebody's gotta figure it out soon
Whatever you want yeah it comes to you
Whatever you want yeah it comes to you
Somebody's really gotta figure it out soon

And when this all ends, I don't see us being friends
I think it's different
You know what I meant?
After all, you're a small town girl
I'm a roaming boy
It's an Open World

Have you heard of savvy?
Yeah that's just me with tech
Machines, computers, phones, I never even know what's next
I've been on this block
Yeah I've been through this alley
I found something new,
I found—

The Nile River
Nazareth
Tennessee
& Timbuktu
Somebody's gotta figure it out soon
Whatever you want yeah it comes to you
Whatever you want yeah it comes to you
Somebody's really gotta figure it out soon

Baby I know that you feel the pain
Sometimes it hurts so bad it's impossible to explain
And while I've been alive, I've barely lived at all
How could I live the life I want living in a bathroom stall?

I wish I could explain!
I took your name in vain
Yeah I took your name in vain
I regret it every day, but something had to change oh something had to change
something had to change
something had to change
something had to change

Cuz I've been caged by something gross and weird
For even more than 20 years

(It's the only thing I would ever want to give up at this point either)

The Nile River
Nazareth
Tennessee
& Timbuktu
Somebody's gotta figure it out soon
Whatever you want yeah it comes to you
Whatever you want yeah it comes to you
Somebody's really gotta figure it out soon

savvy & optimism alley

Scene 3: Ogden's Observatory

O—I found another curve
I ran out of words
I started looking at the night sky
I made an observation
It brought me back to Berwyn
Last time I thought I could be in love you nearly died

Cuz you need someone to rely on
And I need somebody to help me with construction
You see I'm working on a flying machine
Almost nobody knows yet,
About my little scheme

I don't know why
But I see you in a special kind of way
You're sort of like
The gateway drug to everything that makes me me

Like my sun sign
And my biggest secret
There are certain things that I like to keep pretty sacred
Just like Ogden
I've only ever met him twice
But you're my best friend, so please let me explain
I've been studying batwings and chainmail and old tech—
—and based on what my Dad said:
Everybody think's we're turning this around
We're gonna make it to the next step

I don't know why
But I see you in a special kind of way
You're sort of like
The gateway drug to everything that makes me me

Beautiful boy

O—I know you're being polite
But with God on the line
You know I'm taking your side
O—I don't know why
But I see you in a special light

Scene 4: The Bathroom

I’m going gizmo
There’s a fallacy
Everyday I wake up and struggle to understand this part of me

Sometimes I feel like the wrong guy for the job
I wake up, look in the mirror, I swear to god
I can put my feelings aside
I’m chasing a dream—Yeah, a hobby of mine

Or maybe I’m just starved for attention
It goes way way way back, all the way to Ascension
So I built this contraption
To add to my collection
Little tiny shards of affection

I’m going gizmo
There’s a fallacy
Everyday I wake up and struggle to understand this part of me

And on my nightstand
I keep a cup of pure source
I charge all of my devices
Same place I keep my swords

(Monologue)

Alright so let’s try and think about it chronologically
I’d say the first thing to really set me off is
I tried LSD when I was seventeen
I didn’t do it for another year maybe—or another two years almost
But, the second time I tried it I had a really powerful experience:
I wouldn’t say it gave me the key to everything but
It certainly took me and plopped me on my path,
My spiritual journey, and—

I'm going gizmo
It's a fallacy

gizmo

thank you to the awesome @patchymate for the cover art and help with arrangement and mixing! 

she'd go and take it, don’t reciprocate
end up feeling less sweet, opened wide
I’m dead in conversations, going to places i shouldn’t stay
real or on the line

feeling out of touch,
I can’t sense a numb feeling
state the obvious when I lose track of meaning
you keep on reading my mind when I don’t want you to
when I write about, write about, you
shit, go and take it, don’t reciprocate
even if it’s for the worse, I think I’ll be just fine

(patchymate)
don’t!
stop breaking your back for me
it isn’t worth the pain and the sense of a tragedy
it wasn’t no

don’t!
stop taking the edge out of everything i like
don’t!
keep me from friends ain’t like nothing that you had
don’t take it out on me, i’m your beauty queen
and i want everything you have
i want everything you have

still wanna show the do-si-do
show off the branches when the grow
and i want everything you have
i want everything you have
i wanna build an enterprise
co-divide and start to multiply and multiply and multiply and multiply

take it out of me to see the rest
lied about who lies with me in bed
fornicating on with someone else
and all my friends are getting used to it
all my friends are the best
believe me, to be the name i wasn’t then
it could have killed me in an instant
it could have got to my soul

and i love being all orderly
but it ain’t for me
i march to my own form
don’t you see?
i told you babe, it was an omen
and my friends are gonna love it when i cry

and you won’t
but you don’t have to believe me again

me/you feat. patchymate

another semesters gone and i hardly
guess i'll sequester what i can't rearrange 
it's been a long damn while since a friend had said my name

sill out the corvette clost diptych erased 
roll out the carpet sit latched in a copper cage
i'm in the parking lot and you're still backstage 

i'll be front and center front and center front and center for you
just cus' they said cus' he said doesn't make it less true 
i'm scared to death i'm scared to death i'm to death i'll kill you just by saying hi (2x)

front and center

On February 6th, 2021, over 800 unique artists came together to create a single charity compilation in 24 hours. Taking advantage of the fact that this would be the only FORM All Nighter event of the year, each participant went all-out. 45 of the most stellar tracks were hand-picked to create an album that’s phenomenal front-to-back— from math rock, to gritty electronic, to chiptune.

All Nighter Vol. 6 is a reflection of creativity, teamwork, and the sleepless delusion that comes with staying up all night— but most of all, it’s a reflection of our community. We couldn't ask for a better one.

All profits from All Nighter Vol. 6 will be donated to Prevent Child Abuse America.
