Ancient Monoliths

The van broke down
just 5 miles from O'Hare
Not sure what we were doing
Had no tickets anyway
As the sun set in the West
We walked East
Planes roaring overhead

We ran as fast as we could run
Escape our only goal
From small town suffocation
And our designated roles
BBQs on Saturdays
Cold Millers with the guys
The vanishing horizon
Matched the dulling in our eyes

Not quite a decision
That either of us made
But a moment of clarity
And what it meant to stay
It never matters
Which road we take
As long as right beside me
I have Karla with a K

We ran as fast as we could run
Escape our only goal
From small town suffocation
And our designated roles
BBQs on Saturdays
Cold Millers with the guys
The vanishing horizon
Matched the dulling in our eyes

The excitement and the newness
As we move from town to town
As we worked to settle down
Turned piece by little piece
into what we'd sworn not to become
we lived the lives we ran from

We ran as fast as we could run
Escape our only goal
From small town suffocation
And our designated roles
BBQs on Saturdays
Cold Millers with the guys
The vanishing horizon
Matched the dulling in our eyes

Wiggle Dance
Lyrics and Music by Mike Krath

Wiggle wiggle wiggle
Wiggle wiggle, wiggle 
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
Do the wiggle dance,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
Do the wiggle dance. 

See the shy girl,
Who’s never danced before,
Take her sister’s hand
And wiggle out on the floor,
They do the wiggle dance,
All around the room,
And they keep on wiggling,
In the light of the moon. 

Chorus

See the shy boy,
Who’s never danced before,
Take his brother’s hand
And wiggle out on the floor,
They do the wiggle dance,
all around the room,
Until they trip over these girls,
And not a moment too soon. 

Chorus

See these shy kids,
Who’ve never danced before,
Pick each other up,
And wiggle around the floor,
They do the wiggle dance
Like it’s never been done,
And they keep on wiggling,
Until the light of the sun. 

Chorus

Wiggle Dance

No... this isn't me coming back. ;) I just wanted to post an update:
- Two Albums to be released this spring.
- An EP release
- Track Image Covers (I'm learning about photography) 
I've fully moved to Audius, though not everything that was cleared out on Soundcloud has been reposted. Still, some will be added back.

I probably will post on SoundCloud here at a certain large interval as a stylistic and promotional update. Appreciate ya'll always. <3

Lively [Remix]

I created the first part while watching the Winter Olympics. I was inspired by the grit of the athletes. I wrote the rest during Hope Week, a week dedicated to mental health and suicide prevention.

(Lyrics)
(Verse 1)
It all starts with a vision, then it becomes a mission, to be the best that you can be.
Ideas, inspiration. The action’s motivation. To be the best you can succeed.

(Chorus)
Keep training, keep praying, keep going, keep knowing,
Keep striving, surviving, keep going, keep growing.

(Verse 2)
No problem is worth dying for, dying for.
Getting through them is worth trying for, trying for.
So many things to look forward to, forward to.
Many activities that you can do, you can do.

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
The world has so much competition, many obstacles in the way.
Got to find a way to get through them or let the situation stay.
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
So many I’d like to thank, and God, and you.

(Chorus) (X2)

Fetch Me Their Souls

SERAPHIC - PERNICIOUS

all these words you say
I can tell they’re fake
life just slipped away
watch it go to waste
scars on my heart and my body,
but it’s not who I am, it’s not who I am
lost but it’s okay
still that kid today

i’ve been living with the same shit
i’ve been running out of patience 
I used to be worried bout some braces
nowadays i’m worried about them payments
I miss it when it wasn’t complicated
I miss the days before the medication
but looking back, I feel like it was wasted
yeah, growing up was hard with so much hatred
I don’t give a fuck if we’re related
I don’t give a fuck because i’m faded
the reason for the dissociation
cause all you did was keep me suffocated
all of my life, I got used to the lies
how can you hate someone but love them at the same fucking time ?
put my heart on the line, you couldn’t swallow your pride
fuck, and now it’s gonna haunt me till the day that I die

all these words you say
I can tell they’re fake
life just slipped away
watch it go to waste
scars on my heart and my body,
but it’s not who I am, it’s not who I am
lost but it’s okay
still that kid today

i’m falling, i’m off it
I hate you if i’m honest
stop calling, done talking
relationship means nothing
what you wanted, you got it
can’t wait till i’m forgotten
i’m falling, i’m falling
i’m falling, I’m falling ah

IF I'M HONEST

Gonna blow up this page soon and start all over...got some new 2025 stuff I'm working on that's gonna set it off...Stay Tuned
