my new EP "Where No One Knows My Name" is out now!

produced by Scrawny

Lyrics:
id line up my stuffies pretend i have something worth sharing with them 
and like a bear sleepin in his den they couldn’t care less
and at the fifth grade talent show i sang
my voice it shook and rang through the room
and my teacher whispered to my mom “not to be rude…

but every kid wants to be famous”

and her son always won best of show
but the funny thing was she always was a judge on the panel

“every kid wants to be famous”

id march through the flowers singing for hours
my voice was still small
and i was short but i always stood up tall as tall as i could

and when the sixth grade finally rolled along i sung another song that i wrote 
and i was glad but i didnt have high hopes i didnt have high hopes

cause every kid wants to be famous
every kid wants to shine bright
but the only ribbon that was given away that night 
was to the son who always won best of show

im never gonna let go of it im never gonna let go
im never gonna let go of this watch me never let it go

this town is small
so don’t pretend you haven’t seen me now
this town is small so don’t pretend you haven’t seen me now

ohhhh every kid wants to be famous 
yet her son always won best of show 
ohhhh nepotism
yes i said it
still upset and you’ll regret it 
every kid wants to be famous

never gonna let go of this
ill sing about it every show never gonna let go oh no oh oh

dont pretend you havent seen me now
this town is small so dont pretend you havent seen me now 
this world is small so dont pretend you havent seen me now 
now that im not so small id like to see you try and tear me down

Onward, dear friend I must be going
I'm going far away

Onward, please don’t follow I’m going
Where no one knows my name

Onward, hopscotch, skip rocks keep growing
Maybe someday

Someday when I’m old and grey
Omniscient, all-knowing
I’ll let them know my name (ooooo)

Onward

Have I Outgrown Minecraft?

Rolling out a map i get to work
I’ve always loved the smell of paper
Cartography is fun when we decide where everything resides
I hear a sound, i feel my chest puff up
Men, stand your ground, watch left, right, up, and down

Somewhere beyond that darkness someone is calling my name 
Faintly i hear them say "dinner’s done, turn off the game"

How many times must i write a sad song?
It’s all been leading up to this day
A tune that i’ve been hearing all along
Creative gears, the bolts and screws of my brain
I’ve always felt it coming loose, turning grey
My skull will be a graveyard full of code
I’ll feel it all erode

Somewhere beyond that darkness someone is calling my name 
Faintly I hear them say "dinner’s done turn off the game"
"Dinner’s done, turn off the game"
"Dinner’s done, turn off the-"

Have I outgrown Minecraft yet?
I don’t really know
Every so often I go back
Build another home
Kicking up dirt, I mine a new path
I plant a seed or two
But I never stick around long enough to see it bloom (oooo)

How many times must I die and restart?
It’s all been leading up to this time
The real world’s dim and I only live once
But getting to regen is getting old
I’m standing in the snow yet I’m not cold

Faintly I hear my name
"Dinner’s done, turn off the game"
Bring me back to those days
"Dinner’s done, turn off the game"
"Dinner’s done, turn off the game"
"Dinner’s done, turn off the-"

Have I outgrown Minecraft yet?
I don’t really know
Every so often I go back
Build another home
Kicking up dirt, I mine a new path
I plant a tree or two
But I never stick around long enough to see how much it grew (grew)
Does it matter how much I grew? (grew)

The torches dim, I feel the dark cave in
I’m in the ground, it’s over isn’t it?
I feel so small
Two pixels tall and I
Won't make it home to eat that pie
With him.

Gone By Morning

[Voiceover: yeah, I don’t think my mind’s really changed from the start. Yeah, but I, and you’re right, I can just stick around and figure it out, but I don’t really want to]

I shouldn’t relate to villains in cartoons
As much as I do
Guess that I need to
Grow a handle bar mustache
As soon as I do
I’ll fit the part
That you want me to (but I mean, uh…)

If you really truly want me gone by morning
I’ll do you one better, I’ll head out right now

I want to
Go any way where no one knows my name
Make it an adventure and never ever be the same
And I’d be to blame
Only me to blame
When I miss my appointments
And lose all my friends in this silly game of
Life would be alright if I left tonight
It’d never be the same
I’d gladly take the blame

I want to relate to heroes in cartoons
But I’m no Mary-Sue
Don’t know what to do
I don’t mean to wallow
Here in my sorrow
If heroes don’t cry then neither do I (I don’t cry) (Um but…)

If really truly want me gone by morning
I’ll do you one better, I’ll head out right now

I want to go any way where no one knows my name
Make it an adventure and never ever be the same
And I’d be to blame
Only me to blame
When I miss my appointments 
And lose who I am in this silly game of
Life would be alright if I left tonight
It’d never be the same
I’d gladly take the blame

I’m just a line in your book
You’re all the pages in mine
Why does it seem to happen like that every time
I’m just a line
I’m just a line
I’m just a line
I’m just a line
I’m just a line
I’m just a moment in time
A single beat and then I’m
Gone just as quick as I came
We never get to rewind
I’m skipping town, I’m leaving now, I’m leaving I’m
Leaving before I’m out of time

Cause I, oh I

I want to go somewhere where no one knows my name
Say hi to every stranger
And never outgrow video games
And I’d be to blame, oh I’d be to blame
When I lose my job, to dress like a pirate every day of my 
Life would be alright if I left tonight
It’d never be the same
And I’d gladly take the blame
It’d never be the same
Where no one knows my name (ooo)

Where no one knows my name

lyrics:

Where do snails go during the day?
They’re probably somewhere playing video games
I’m sad they feel the need to go away
Go away

Where’s the chapel where the mantis pray?
The leaves grow green then fall away
In reddish shades that crumple under six long legs
Leading me along, the children sing a song
And I’d like to turn around
But I know I’m not that strong

I’m missing a house
That I’ve never called home
I’m missing a time that I’ve never known
I remember a tree, had a whole leaf of my own
But now we’re reaching spring
Was it just a dream? I don’t know

I don’t know
What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know?

They warn of snakes in search of prey
The stories scare me so I stay
At the chapel where the mantis pray
And every day
They lead me along
The children hum a hymn
And I’d like to run away
But to leave would be a sin

I’m missing a house
That I’ve never called home
I’m missing a time that I’ve never known
I remember a song, I sung along
But how did it go?
Well, now I’m reaching spring
Probably just a dream
I should let go

Six legs, tippy tappy toes
Climbing to the podium on Sunday
I was a tadpole at the time
So I don’t remember much
About what he had to say

Faces, beady little eyes
Larva always cries
Beetle does the same
Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain

Six legs, tippy tappy toes
Climbing to the podium on Sunday
I was a bunny (I was a kitten) at the time
So I don’t remember much
About what he had to say

Faces, beady little eyes
Larva always cries
Beetle does the same
Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain

Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain

Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain
