Studio Wormbone Collab

Vocals &  Lyrics by Joelle Doriani:

My nightmares stopped long ago-
The mirrors from within
The floods from all the melted snow
The castles caving in

The book shelves lined with all the greats
No stories such as ours
It captures me, as I await
The mornings when you call

The drama that we are -
Like comets through the dark
We’ve named a hundred stars
And raced a millions cars

The farewells come when fires die
The charcoal lights a plea
While adamantly, I describe
The way things need to be

The drama that we are -
Like comets through the dark
I’m riskin' all my heart
To see just who you are

I fought to preserve
This wonderful story
And i tried my best to earn
A future of glory

The drama that we are -
Like comets through the dark
I’m riskin all my heart
To see just who you are

The Drama That We Are

The Drama That We Are (Feat. Joelle Doriani)

Vocals & Lyrics by Joelle Doriani:

Cry to me Magnetic Mournful Moon
We are half in fire, half in tombs

Magnitudes of longing since the womb
Speak to me I'm holed up in my room 

Builder starlet and stunning,
confounding me
Build a tower, a fable 
Collapsed abruptly

Restless might, to every fortress I resign
Break me and rake me put me back leave me I'm empty


Stress the sight, a crowd of wolves but let them dine
I won't be your banquet anymore


Cry to me magnetic mournful moon
Speak to me I'm holed up in my room

Magnetic Mournful Moon

Magnetic Mournful Moon (Feat. Joelle Doriani)

Vocals and lyrics by Joelle Doriani:

I live in messy wonders 
Trying to maintain my exterior
I live in moments wanting 
Frosted bot in cool, delirium 
I wake in muscled thunder
Leave of absence from my interior
I shrink in strident blunders
Measured ‘gainst the crowds criteria

(the crowds— I can’t imagine why I’m here…)

As If I could decide 
To be zealous or aligned
Like the winded, swinging chimes
Was there choice in my design?

I’m sifting ever through
The disparate seasons of my youth
Like the catacomb of shoes
Comets blazed but heels defused 

As If I could decide
To be loved or justified 
Like the guile and gaits I try
Maybe all I wear is time

I’m drifting, still askew
Through every red and every blue
Mysteries surround your tomb
But I’m alive because of you

Der Wind glänzt noch immer blau
Und rot tanzt wenn ins Wasser taucht
Ich laufe— nö— ich schwebe rum,
Die Luft hier ist so stärkend, komm
Ich hasse leer Spießigkeit 
Viel Stille in Vergangenheit

Messy Wonders

Messy Wonders (Feat. Joelle Doriani)

Vocals and lyrics by Joelle Doriani:

You’ve got a door to my imagination
three rooms back, that room’s taped off, I think
creatures from the den somehow awaken
and fly past yellow lines, to flowing ink


I’m such a nut
not in a rut
glad that I’m childless
just legs and lungs
run from someone
shifting each conscience


weightless gaze
I found your eyes
no entrance fare
it’s just my mind


I watch through windows, wordless and whispy
wishing I’m a cloud to wash the green
with the winter solstice, I’m deflating
and I can’t break the greys if I don’t sing


weightless gaze
I found your eyes
no entrance fare
it’s just my mind


Deepest gaze
avoid your eyes
I have to leave
don’t ask me why


Wildest days
pretend you’re mine
no danger there,
past yellow lines

Break The Greys

Break The Greys (Feat. Joelle Doriani)

Vocals and lyrics by Joelle Doriani:

He was deranged
Rearranging lover’s words 
Seeds grow into forest range
Pines of florists’ wooded swords 
And sores on his heart 
Can I apply some ointment there
Basking blondes with strategies 
To show chemical care 

She missed the love from him 
Her pillows made her cry
She found her respite dim
In suburb's crawling time 


Retired from life, means tired again
Walden wood’s no comfort
She’ll belly flop on bed and then 
Hibernate all summer

She missed the stage,
But it never was her own 
Felt that she deserved more fame, 
Spotlight in her shadow home
A wilting flower
How could she give that in love?
Hoping for the sun each day 
Or for him to pick her now 

Wordless in reverie
Ohhhh
Foraging through deepest green

You got the best of me, seamless, grieving 
Respirating, careening
Bottomless solitude is what I need 
He left a mess for me I’m not cleaning
Took it out west, believing 
I can just bury everything

Bury my dreams 
They’re gone from my sleep
Each pedal falls
And he holds them carefully 
Knowing what is beautiful
And knowing what is better free
