(fka 'notes / mmxx')

written last 2019-2020, me switching PCs earlier this year & creative differences with what I had in mind two years ago has led me to lose all my files for this project. I'd consider this project 'scrapped' up until two months ago.

as i'm currently working on another EP, the thought of this project unreleased has bothered me enough to finish it off mp3 exports from a year ago. even the album art was salvaged off an old SoundCloud export I had around april 2020.

i looked up at your window
and pretended i could see you.
you don't live there anymore.

hi seulgi

earl grey (basement)

when time does pass, and all is well,
this all will pass and i'll see you then. im still here.

started markmuffins initially as a lofi/indie rock project back in 2018. i'd consider myself naive to whatever sonic landscapes i could've potentially dabbled on but i was happy with my former output/s. fast forward to today, where current events + thinking about the future of this project just drains me.

id like to consider this EP to be a short(?) farewell, to dabble on other sounds i'm interested in exploring. (pls look forward to them!)

recorded in the span of 6 months, a 'moodboard' of how i'd want this project to sound like.

paalam!

when you float, you can see
all around
don't look down

when you're down on your knees
and afraid, go look up

in the arms of the one that you love,
i hope that you breathe in all you want,
all you can, but don't drown

when you're in love

i wish my house was by the water
or we have a swimming pool
so i can sit there just for hours
instead of staying in my room

the niches i have caved for hours
never had the chance to bloom 
wasted for another hour
wasting chance to see you soon

too jaded to search for meaning
too wasted to feel fulfilling
(you'll make it)

stop feeling


im out of it

tracking w/ an ugly pc can be hard sometimes. accidentally kong narecord yung mga static sa bass track and i think it fits (i think)

recorded this just now

// 

carefully you wrapped your hands around my brittle skin 
everyday been thinking about the times where you'd stay in 
'ill keep you in mind from time to time' it is the anthem of our lives 
but maybe i can see you once we've overcome the times 

oh, whered you go? 
oh, whered you go? 

cigarettes on the floor makes me feel alone 
something about my socks makes me feel at home 
like those times in your front porch where id call out for your name 
but maybe ill just see you when we overcome the times 

oh, where'd you go? 
oh, where'd you go? 

maybe ill get used to being alone

the matters surrounding me and my past mistakes often misplaces my enemies 

surprised as to why clocks cant outrun or befriend simple facts and human decency
 
ooh ooh 
you're tired of looking past whats not true
i'm tired of rubbing soles off my shoes
but whats that to you?

the matter surrounding me feels more dense than it once was
surprised as to why it feels harder to breathe

ooh ooh 
you're tired of looking past whats not true
i'm tired of rubbing soles off my shoes
but whats that to you?

the niches i have caved for hours

wasted for another hour

load the gun and let me light it
let my hair absorb the smell 
itching for another round in
im sore from the neck down and im above it

hoping for another night in, 
i dont want to go outside
id rather be in the shell of my own 
hallucinations

constant pain of how to 
divide one's time into    
tryna find a way
trying to save face

youre packed but im unmoved
the leaves are yet to bloom
tryna find a way
trying to save face  

seems like we're out of time
feels like we wont be fine 
but
id still find you 
id still fall for you

moments pass, im undone
meet short yet sweet and calm
tryna find a way
trying to save face 

seems like we're out of time
feels like we wont be fine 
but
id still find you 
id still fall for you

maybe ill plan next time 
i know i wont be fine but
id still find you 
id still fall for you

make use of all my strength turn it in
turn it into something good
i let you be in this room 
all all alone, all alone  

maybe ill get used to- this?
maybe ill get used to-

make use of all my dreams, throw them in
turn it into something good
youll soon be locked away in this room 
all all alone, all alone

inside out (cover)

been in the drafts for way too long (April 2020), want to close the chapter on this single + 2 unreleased tracks

wrote this for my former partner who was diagnosed with pneumonia

roaming through the hallways 
looking for a clue
breathing's a bit harder
is this how you feel too?
my lungs feel like they're drowning
is this how you feel too?
maybe I'm not one of you
maybe I'm not one of you
