The world is burning, and I'm not even sure how it started
I heard some person spilled the midnight oil onto the carpet
Of their apartment - others say an arsonist sparked it
Some even swear that it's been there since Adam fell from the garden, but I
Know that's a myth cuz I was in that crowded theater
When somebody shouted "fire" and no one around believed her
We were cave dwellers - sitting comfortably
Till I saw my shadow start to flicker on the seat in front of me

We watched the city being charred, and passed incinerated cars
Power lines alit like C-beams that glitter in the dark
And from above you could witness amber threads cover each district
On the CNN feed like they were written in the stars
They said riot vans were supplied to each fireman
And hired hand who tried and tried again without a fighting chance
So now we're out the frying pan and into the fire
And each day it's like I'm trapped inside a cigarette lighter

Since that night I've changed - I quit romantic interactions
Cuz it felt a little tactless to be having Tinder matches
Runnin' into old flames'd just be a drag if it happened
Kicked the habit - and don't forget the risk of getting gaslit
These days, Steam games I've just been avoiding
My temper is like embers and my blood's always boiling
Wearing flared jeans is sorta fine, blazers might be borderline
Sears in short supply, I hear they're under-employing
Despite the deaths I'm abandoning rituals like candlelit vigils
I've never been less keen to use my Amazon Kindle
Our panicked officials may as well be a man with a fiddle
Who does nothin' but stand in the middle of Rome as it burns

Their plans are all wishful, they say so many words
They're understanding and civil, and then they vote to adjourn
Their only concern that they don't just totally shirk
Is when they open their purses for brokerage firms
I know, that's absurd - and now we're seeing folks selling merch
For purchase with cutesy slogans that you can throw on a shirt
Like how adulting in the midst of an inferno's the worst
I heard a talk show host's selling fire-themed frozen desserts

Meanwhile the radio reports conditions improving
Cuz look, this crematorium owner says business is booming
A former friend's a flame skeptic, he says evidence is weak
Cuz you can't ever just believe the shit on MSNBC
I'm worried for him but I'll be the first to admit
For a disbeliever, he's certainly quick at burnin' a bridge
People's takes have gotten blazing hot - and if you make a blog,
You can say anything and get shared by a Facebook mom
Fake or not - like "fire alarms are government tracking machines"
Or "how to get the perfect smokey eye naturally"
Or "grow sage 'n' rosemary for homemade potpourri
To mask annoying gas leaks while you Postmates groceries"

Okay, so can we just skip to the epilogue?
I'll even leave a nice review of it up on Letterboxd
Forget the plot, forget the scent of scorched pines and oak
Forget the sight of the horizon cloaked in plumes of rising smoke
Pretend we never saw the sky turn the colour of blood and honey
Like a flame spirit drunkenly swallowin' up the country
As hundreds of tongues consume any inquisitive moth
Its voice a hiss when it talks, on trails of igneous rock
I thought fire was a gift till I saw it melt the ice caps
So Prometheus, i 'preciate it but send it right back
And now I'm rambling - shit, I've been lettin' my mind stray
When I got chores to handle and there's still ash in my driveway
They say if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen
But now my kettle's makin' sounds, the fumes are cloudin' my vision
So till the ground is extinguished and we've doused the whole world in rain
I've got no choice but to learn how to live life in eternal flame

the world is burning

hi heres a song about hiding emotions it has vocals



-------------------------------------------------------------
i've been sitting in my room making music
i've been sitting in my room making you sick
of my shit
i can't deal
anymore
i can't feel
anymore
is this real
anymore?

it's okay, i'm fine with my ways
i'm fine everyday
i'm super okay
i've never been better but i'm so scared
i've never been better but i'm so scared

i love you
as a friend
and everything you do for me
has come together beautifully 

in my mind
in my thoughts
in my eyes

but i know that
i lost you
in your eyes

but it's good. i feel okay.
and i would never lie to you
and baby i would die for you
i've never been better but i'm so scared
i've never been better but i'm so scared

i've been sitting in my room making music
i've been sitting in my room making you sick
of my shit
i can't deal
anymore
i can't feel
anymore
is this real
anymore?

it's okay, i'm fine with my ways
i'm fine everyday
i'm super okay
i've never been better but i'm so scared
i've never been better but i'm so scared

scared

~spotify~

~scared~

First off, it's been forever since I've posted a track at all and I hope the amount of time between releases won't be as large. (I was hoping to release a track per week for like maybe a couple of months but we;ll see how this goes.) Next off, excuse the cover art. I literally hopped out of the shower after coming home from work and did this in 5 minutes haha. Lastly I never owned a penny board, I owned a knockoff one. Actually it wasn't even a knockoff, it was meant for little kids and I just decided it was ok for me to buy it and ride it to my classes. Unfortunately I haven't touched the thing since school cause laziness/music/life/uggggggh.... pobrecita.  Anyways if you read this, I hope the track is at least good or bearable to make up for this description.

Penny board

sort of a part 2 to scared, i hope u enjoy i worked very hard on this

thanks ethan for the cover art

-------------------------------------------------------------
started thinking bout my friends all the time now
started thinking maybe they aren't even mine now
and i'll smile if it really makes her better
i never really knew her but she got my favourite sweater

when i'm cold, i hope you're still okay
i want you to be warm, i want you to be safe
because that makes me happy inside
i wish that you could see through my eyes

i was sitting in my room making music
i was sitting in my room making you sick
and now i'm dreaming
yeah i'm just dreaming
so be quiet cause i really need it

started thinking bout my friends all the time now
started thinking maybe they aren't even mine now
and i'll smile if it really makes her better
i never really knew her but she got my favourite sweater
-------------------------------------------------------------

~sweater~

thanks @potsupotsu for the jazz stuff <3

this song took waaay too long to make so i hope everybody enjoys!

(also hi miraie <3)
-------------------------------------------------------------
please stop picking all these flowers from your garden
i whisper all these words to you but you just disregard them
maybe if you listen we would grow a little stronger
maybe if i left you then i'd last a little longer

i'm a flower that you picked at the wrong time
and yeah i haven't seen you in a long time
but i just thought i'd let you know 
i honestly don't see how far this thing could really go
-------------------------------------------------------------

~garden~ (w/ potsu)

back with a new jam, enjoy <3

-------------------------------------------------------------
[lyrics]
i've been thinking that we'll never fall apart
but you never ever open up your heart
and i don't know the easy way to start
yeah i don't know the easy way to start

i'll tell you what i like about your smile
and you just don't say nothing for a while
and you don't think that what i say is true
and that is why i wrote this song for you

you tell me you don't love yourself that much, well that sucks
let's go over all the little things that make me fall in love with you
and maybe then you might start feeling something new

but you won't listen
and it's like im in a constant intermission,
and i don't think that there's anything i'm missing,
and i'm kinda sick of all this repetition

stop
and tell me all your feelings,
and tell me i'm not dreaming
'cause there must be a reason
that's stopping you from leaving

~intermission~

<3 <3 <3 thank u guys for 9k followers, heres a thingy!
-------------------------------------------------------------
[lyrics]
come outside and smell the air
come outside, don't stay in there
but i don't want to leave my home and
i'd much rather be alone

you don't know the half of me
you don't know the world i see
i'm sorry that that i think this way but
i won't come outside today

you're someone that i can trust,
tell me that you won't give up
tell me that it's all okay,
i'll come outside another day

~outside~

maybe bottling them up wasn't the best idea..

-----------------------------------------
i know i should talk a little more
about my feelings but i'm so unsure
cause there's two options, i could keep it inside
or i could let everything out and then you'd maybe realise but i could

scream into my pillow and then bottle it up
and i can fill it to the top and then i'll seal it shut
and there's a chance that it could crack and then i'll all let it out
but i will always have a bottle where i store all my doubts

or i could pour it in a cup and let you try my concoction
to me it doesn't really seem like that's the greatest option
(so tell me what to do) 

uh oh, i'm out of luck
i let my feelings out and now i am f*@?!
i'm super scared i think i'm gonna erupt
and you can say it's fine but i know i suck

everything's alright hey let me help you out
it will be okay you shouldn't have any negative doubts
tell me what the problem is i'm telling you i do not mind
but if it's just emotions then i can repeat, just hit rewind

you tell me everything is okay
but be more specific
yeah, is it me? or is it you?
is there anything that you can tell me

tell me something i've never heard
tell me some crazy string of words
that'll help me understand myself
so that i can help me out

bottled up!

Bloom

something a little different this time round. i had a lot of fun making this and made most of the instrumental on my op-1! enjoy <3
-----------------------------------------
you don't know what you have just unravelled
you made a deal with the devil

yeah this'll all be over soon
my heart feels like it's gonna stop soon
because i heard a lot of things
and now it's pulling at the strings

i'm burying my head under my pillow and i'm under my sheets
i'm unable to sleep 'cause i have horrible dreams
what do i have to do to get you out of here,
what do i have to do to get you out of here?

what do i have to do to get you out of here?
what do i have to do to get you out of here?

you don't really get it, do you?
you can't quite grasp it
and if i say it to you,
you just pass it off

i think you're out of touch,
yeah you don't give a fuck

OUT OF HERE

it always catches up ❤️

-----------------------------------------
i don't think you can be my friend,
it's tearing me apart
thoughts constantly rush through my head,
don't remember when they start

your imaginary heart,
your imaginary heart
yeah you don't have the heart,
i guess we're similar in that sense

you're in my head,
you are chimerical
but if i think too hard about it,
then you're physical

you replace my mind,
my preconceived reality
i turn into something that i kept deep down inside of me

i will never get away from what i used to be,
maybe this is what reality is telling me

your imaginary heart,
your imaginary heart

you'll always be a part of me
(but you're someone i don't want to be)
