track 6 of middle of the stage

lyrics:
I'm never easy
Your love could never bring me out
So I'll complete me
I'll seem real good to be around
Put on my first paint
and let my most sincere one drown
This is my worst play
I am the king but still a clown

I'm never easy
Your love could never bring me out
So I'll complete me
I'll seem real good to be around
Put on my first paint
and let my most sincere one drown
This is my worst play
I am the king but still a clown

I'm wishing myself goodnight again.
I have too much pride to admit
that everyone who feeds me rage
just wants to wants to see me
change

Why is no one paying attention to m-

track 2 of middle of a stage

lyrics:
Pause Pau 
Oh my god
Can't even play simple audio without doing the wrong thing
Okay wait
There

I can feel my ego leaving
That's a telltale of departure
Line is flat: we hear no breathing
Truth is crackin' at my armor
I run to my mirror and say that
I can make reality cause
In these times it's sad to see
But I lose rationality

Stiffness in the hands: another sign that Rigamortis kicked in
Lack of any fervor, any storm. His tendons weren't lifted
I admit that in persistence I predicted he'd be with us
In the couple minutes when the hotline said they'd bring assistance

At this point, I wasn't sure if I could lie for any longer
I would have to be the stronger man and try to not preserve
My awkward nerves were telling me, "He didn't die. He's not a martyr"
What a crazy sentence starter. Didn't get me any farther though

You ever knew a man was dying
Ever seen the skin get colder
Ever seen the droopy eyelids
Ever had to lift the boulder off your
Chest knowing your childhood
Wouldn't ever be the same
He won't ever see me older now

Well, I answered your initial question
But, um, looks like we got more time, so
I could play you part of the extra if you want
This stupid thi

departure

track 5 of middle of a stage

lyrics:
Break all I have
Cut my bones in half
Let go of the paranoia
Inclination never changes so you might as well enjoy it
In the morning there's tobacco in my chambers and
By afternoon I'm wasted off the finest in my basement
Where I come from the rich men did cigars
And drank every day so I know I'm going far
What can i say? I'm just a product of environment
Designing kids to be at boarding schools until they're ninety-six
And you expect them to be bright at socializing
I assure you that they're not unless they've poisoned all their vitals like
Me

Can you stop smoking every morning
I understand that you want peace
But I am scared for you and
Right now it is too soon. I just want to
Sleep

I know it's hard but just keep
Pushing because, oh man, I just wanna
Sleep and i know that your intentions
May be perfect, but
I just wanna sleep

And
You know deep down that I'm right
You just don't wanna change
These substances will catch up soon
You'll never be the same
You'll never be the same
You'll never be the same

But I was too scared to tell him that
So, yeah
He just kept doing it

Trials and tribulations
Paint this illustration
I lost and then I gained my mind 
I have changed my placement
To a new situation
I'm leaving that old one behind

Full disclosure: I'm a sheep just like the rest of them
I simply use my writing to appear a different specimen
Penmanship has always been my way of best expression and
At this point, I'm mainly posting for rush of adrenaline
The skeletons inside my closet is a bigger threat
Little rest each night cause I can barely get my limits set
But ill still write even if nothing ever gets addressed
See a couple every day. can someone pass a cigarette?
My views change on bad habits as I get involved
Bad ideas consistently with several different men involved
Whether synthetic or ingested raw. it cluttered mind
Barely could make sense when I was seeing through those shuttered eyes
The toughest kind of contrition is recognition hittin'
I was the rat, the turncoat masking with his best intentions
Now I'm not saying I was tryna doublecross
But when I'm looking at my past, I feel I did everything wrong
I swear to god the best thing that I ever did was fall
Cause getting up was perfect. now I'm barely ever missin' calls
Life is a snake and the venom is a big withdrawal
Fortunately, you can strike back to go get them off
Imma wear myself until I gotta go  
Woke up at the time of others who set up some common goals
They don't present me right in media. I'm like a common folk
The profit goal incentive's why my ethics pass the common mold

Trials and tribulations
Paint this illustration
I lost and then I gained my mind 
I have changed my placement
To a new situation
I'm leaving that old one behind
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Growth, going, going, going
Gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Growth, going, going, going
Gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Growth, going, going, going
Gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Growth, going, going, going
Gone

3rd song of the Luv Songs for Cats EP

Lyrics:
I'm just- I'm just letting you know
That the name of the cat
The name of the cat is Kitty
It's not like
Th-the name of the cat is Kitty
It's not a nickname
But, um
Yeah

Kitty can you hit the city with me now?
Life been kinda gritty but I don't want you to pity now
So long as I got you, I'll stay sittin' pretty now
I won't ever stop you. I know that you're witty now
People say I copped you. You are not a purchase though
You've been givin' more love than any selling merchant shows
You got so much straight above what the surface shows
When with you it's like my heart is in a furnace, oh
So happy-go-lucky that your presence will go raise me
Got me up and running since you struck me as amazing
Take you cross the country with the way you aviate me
Talk about you to my friends. I'm feelin' like they hate me
Feeling like they hate me now
You're the queen of beauty. you're my statue. you're my Lady Howe
I love you when you're angry and selfish
And you're like that sometimes
But it's no time for debating now

On a high note
You're who I love to give my time most
Every single guy knows I'm lucky to have you
Thinkin' bout those eyes, that view, that value
That's what I'm attached to
Waking up seven days straight for
Glad I have what I'd just sit at home and pray for
Sit and home and pray for
This the kinda love that I've been waiting for since grade four
Money really nothing when hundreds can't buy a perfect match
Like current fads, everything will wallow and fall under this ash
I learned to laugh through you when you showed me how you're the perfect path
This certain path is Kitty. with you and me, we're the perfect match
Never gonna break off
Get laid off
Every day stays off
Me and kitty gonna take off

Kitty

4th song off the Luv Songs for Cats EP

Lyrics:
Oooh, oooh

Look at all that's on my plate
Gotta make it back by eight
What will you do
I'm back for you

I feel i need to validate
Or else you cannot think straight
In your heart
How should we start

Oh, you know I love you
Don't you forget I love you
Don't you forget I love you

Oh it hurts me when I see
Without me you can't eat
Without me you can't sleep

I love your love for me
But you need help
You care so much for others
You need to give that to yourself

I'll never leave your side
But one day I might die
Would you even survive?
I want you to be mine
I don't feel like you trap me
But more than I want you
I want you to be happy

Oh (Woah!) , you know I love you
Don't you forget I love you
Don't you forget I love you

Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh

You know how to get away with
You know how to get away with
Everything, everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, everything
You know how to get away with
You know how to get away with
Everything, everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, everything

5th song off of Luv Songs for Cats

ft. mother kempt

Lyrics:
Michi you're so easy when aware
Sleeping: you're near me. Friends can dare
To say they'll emulate our bond
I say I speculate they're wrong
And when we touch I can forget
I don't have much but my one cat
I feel the love from you in life
Why am I special in your eyes?

Is it bad to say I've never felt so loved?
Is it bad to say I like how it's just us?
Is it bad to say I always look above?
I don't know what I want, first. I always crave the comfort
I'm always out defending every little fit of rage
When you cut, I don't mind it cause it's just scratches on the page
And if scratches aren't big, then you can still just read the book
Cause you're always giving more to me than anything you took

I never want to be
I never want to be
I never want to be
Serious again
Serious again
Serious again
Serious again
Serious again

Woo! That was great. That was an incredible job
You're just lying

Michi

6th song off of Luv Songs for Cats

Lyrics:
I don't know what matters more
The nights or the days?
I'm staying up again
To look for a stray

A lump in my throat
A drop in my chest
A cramp in my stomach
You know the rest

Self-fulfilling maybe
I just miss my baby
It hurts to staple all these posters

I feel like you betrayed me
I guess I'm really crazy
Why did I even expect closure

You're probably doing so great
You probably don't know I wait
You probably don't even care
And I'm unaware

You're coming back
I'll get you when I get you
You're coming back
I'll get you when I get you

So, today I- I laid down
And looked down, and it was kind of
Unusual because usually when I- when I look down
I- Like I'm used to
I would see your- you on me
But- but today I looked down and I saw- I saw my body
I was- I was forced to see my body, basically
I don't know. It was just the muscle memory
It told me, "Look down," cause usually I look down
And you're- you're sitting well- b- on me
Kinda like it's a comforting thing: I look down and I see you
But but t- I had to look down and I lo- so I just saw my body
And it was- it was weird
I- I don't like my body
I don't like my body at all

You're probably doing so great
You probably don't know I wait
You probably don't even care
And I'm unaware
You're probably doing so great
You probably don't know I wait
You probably don't even care
And I'm unaware

Brand new bike

Butter soft seat

Looking at my life thinking, "Was it all me?"

We ride by flowers

You sneeze

I say, "Bless you"

I just have to wonder how I ever got to get you



Listened to my heartbeat as I walked on concrete

Bred fear inside every step; felt like army-men

Every single step that I did was rhythmic

Talking to you had me checking up on my statistics

Like, maybe today I ended up too pessimistic

Maybe yesterday I seemed like too much of a critic

Maybe I was weird when I asked about your lipstick

Maybe I was weird when I brought up random linguistics

But this is in essence what I made off

Every clumsy question was a risk that seemed to pay off

And it never felt like I was trying

It was just me

It's funny that what made you love me would repulse me

Sitting by myself all dejected on benches

Thinking if I looked sad enough then I would get attention

It's funny and a bit pathetic to look back on

It's nice to be with someone who doesn't put masks on



(Achoo!)



Looking at my life thinking, "Was it all me?"

We ride by flowers

I sneeze

You say, "Bless you"

I just have to wonder how I ever got to get you



Listened to my heart as I walked to you on concrete

Felt like a deer in headlights or like shark meat

But that was months ago when I felt undiscoverable

Crazy how the one that scared me makes me feel so comfortable

Crazy how the one that scared me makes me feel so comfortable

Crazy how no other lady let me be so vulnerable

Daily affirmations for a month don't match your compliments

I imagine life without you to remember hollowness

In a world with such hodge-podge type homogenous people

I get why you would seem so regal

I'll pay you back when I make it on top

Cause you're with me even though I'm weak and feeble, so

I look at you like a statue-athrolithic

Make me weak to the knees like ragdoll physics

We could be like we're inside the sculpture "Adoration"

And we could go across the whole nation... while riding in my
