Memories

Final Boss

this is a short collection of songs that I've written since I moved to Chicago. It took forever to complete because I have been trying to figure out how to live as a person. I'm sort of a person now. 

This is me shaking off some rust. enjoy!

This Is Not Hysteria

Often Times I Wonder

Where It's At

this song is about the 1961 film Mothra from Toho Studios

Verse 1
there is one true disease
known as humanity 

Mothra's the justice
A scaled wing calamity 

it starts with a shipwreck 
off the coast of Infant Island 

The Daini-Genyou-Maru going down
with crewmen dying 

As four wash up on shore
expected death is radiation sickness
Or the wanderlust to explore

Introduce Zenichiro
Zen-chan to friends, fam 
bulldog reporter and a flim flam 

Fukuda on deck, Michi Hanamura 
snaps all the photographs
as they search for asura 

They infiltrate the hospital 
where the survivors are gathered
with no poison in their blood 
The doctors flabbergasted
They’re all stuck with no ideas why 
but the real truth lies 
with our mother in the sky



(Bridge)

Verse 2
The Rolisican Embassy decides unrepentantly
That scientific zealtory is far more important 
The problem here essentially, a reflection of history
Monsters roam earth when capitalists plot courses

So, the plan is this, the crew is manned with
Shin'ichi Chūjō, an expert in languages
Doctor Harada, radiation analyst 
While Fukuda stows away amidst all the panic 
Led by Clark Nelson, imperialist fool
Searching through a vast jungle, hungry for clues
About the connection of hieroglyphs and the crew 
Nelson decides he’d rather kidnap the youth
to maximize his profits, but hear this dear listener 
women are not crops, exploitable, or fuel 
The villagers bereft at the outright theft
At their own two children, There’s one option left

(Bridge)


Verse 3 


Mothra oh Mothra 
I hope my message reaches you
Through time and space 
Flutter through the unbelievable
Suffer not the flame 
Mothra I exclaim 
I am done with the way that humans never change

Mothra oh Mothra
We reaped destruction 
We reached the pinnacle 
Of human consumption
We don’t deserve you 
And I reserve nothing 
Let your wings fly 
Change the wind we run in 

Mothra oh Mothra
We plead for your justice 
This earth we never trusted
The one we pass the buck in
Time to kick the bucket 
We’ve let this earth plummet 
Simulation over pack it up
We’re done kids

Mothra
