company

would u rather

what do i do

bitter

you don't get to say it first

skipping stones

please don’t leave me alone
i thought this was my home
i’m scared of what i might do
if i let myself want you

i’ll be alright if you leave me like this,
it’s ok i can take a hit
i like being alone
so you don’t have to pick up

the noise in my head it won’t quiet
but i’m not ready to go yet
this is me asking for help
because i’m slipping away can you tell

i can pretend i’m not counting the days
till this voice in my head goes away
i promise it’s better this way
cuz i know how much more i can take

i swear that i’ll try
try to get by
without saying good bye

because the noise in my head it won’t quiet
but i’m not ready to go yet
this is me asking for help
because i’m slipping away can you tell

the noise in my head it won’t quiet
i wasn’t ready to go yet
this was me asking for help
because i’ve slipped away could you tell

the noise in my head it won’t quiet
i’m ready to go now
i don’t need your help
i’ve said goodbye what’s to tell

by(e)

thru (demo)

외계인 (demo)

get over it (demo)

when i start to falter
i push myself way too hard
it takes me that much longer
to get where they all start

i’ve gotten scared of you
no i’m terrified of you
i see your grip in my head
i feel you rip me to shreds

hold your world in my hands
i drop it all see it land
i wore your patience so thin
i’m my own problem to fix

i’ve gotten scared of you
no i'm terrified of you
i see your grip in my head
i feel you rip me to shreds
i feel you rip me to shreds
i feel you rip me to shreds

glitch

i don’t mind
staring you down i don’t
i don’t mind
wait for a clean cut i won’t
i don’t mind
take you by the touch and push you off

watch you drop
i don’t mind
watch me drop
i don’t mind
push me off

i don’t mind
branding my skin i don’t
i don't mind
watching the flow i
i don’t mind
feeling the sky fall i
i don’t mind
hearing my breath choke i
i don’t mind
i don’t mind
i don’t mind
i don’t mind

mind

it all stays the same
but you ask anyway
will you leave if that changes

pull me forward and stay
tell me it’s falling in place
i didn’t make a mistake

there are days that i think
i should just burn it and leave
this won’t get you anywhere

push me backwards and say
get over it you’re okay
you think you give but you take

why won’t you just tell me to go
i watched it falling apart
i felt it falling apart

why don’t you just tell me to go
those are the words that i chose
but i’m not good on my own

i felt it falling apart
i watched it falling apart
i watched it falling apart

trip over my words
it gets better then it’s worse
i don’t know which cut came first

this is the choice that i’ve made
i see it falling in place
i think I’ve picked up my pace

but i can’t get it to work
i let it go it still hurts
i think I give but i take


why won’t you just tell me to go
i watched it falling apart
i felt it falling apart

why don’t you just tell me to go
those are the words that i chose
but i’m not good on my own

but i don’t want you to go
but i don’t want you to go
no i don’t want you to go
but i don’t want you to go

a part

it’s not yours to take
why’d you come pick it up
meant to agitate
can’t tell which side you’re on

turn sideways and rotate
quicker than i thought
watch me follow through
coming to a full stop

what’s it gonna be
is it something you keep
your grip is too tight
but i’ll go back to sleep

go back to sleep

trying
i’m trying

let me go 
let me go
back to sleep

trying
i’m trying

but you stay the same
you’re running in place

falling
i’m falling

you push and you push til it breaks

trying
you’re trying
but you don’t know me anymore

i’m tired of you
blaming your retrograde
you’ve gotten used to
thinking we are the same

fall over and over
we both feel a lot

i think you know i’m
waiting wanting to leave
your grip is too tight
guess i’ll go back to sleep

i’ll go back to go back to
back to sleep

trying
i’m trying

let me go 
let me go
back to sleep

trying
i’m trying

but you stay the same
you’re running in place

falling
i’m falling

you push and you push til it breaks

you’re trying
you’re trying
but you don’t know 
you don’t know
you don’t know

me anymore
me any
me anymore
me any
me any
me anymore

you don’t know
you don’t know me anymore

sleep

i wish i could float forever
but it all just gets heavier
i should be better
i need to be doing better

at fifteen i thought i could make it
i watched myself on tv
thought that i was ready
but they’ve forgotten about me

you made me think i could do it
i think maybe that i can do it
can do it

i’m only nineteen
i have time to think it through
already nineteen
don’t know what i’m gonna do

시간이 갈수록
불안감 이 심해져가
벌써 나는

nineteen
nineteen
nineteen
nineteen

how does it all fit together
have i moved any further
i should be doing better
i need to be doing better

you made me think i could do it
i think maybe that i can do it
can do it

i’m only nineteen
i have time to think it through
already nineteen
don’t know what i’m gonna do

시간이 갈수록
불안감 이 심해져가
벌써 나는

i’m only nineteen
i have time to think it through
already nineteen
don’t know what i’m gonna do
don’t know what i’m gonna do
don’t know what i’m gonna

nineteen

i keep falling back in
because you’re letting me win
it makes me possessive
will you ever get it  

will you take it all back
so we can keep what we have
i understand
if it’s too much to ask

no i’m not enough
but i’m still somehow too much
you’ll wait forever for something better
no for someone better

no i’m not enough
but i’m still somehow too much
you’ll wait forever for something better
for something better

no i’m not enough
but i’m still somehow too much
no i’m not enough
no i’m not enough
too much
i’m too much

no i’m not enough
no i’m not enough
i’m not i’m not
no i’m not enough
no i’m not enough
but i’m still too much

still too much (demo)

jealous (labrinth cover)

i know that i’m the fucking problem,
i only feel pretty when running on empty
you should just give up on me already

set it on fire,
i don’t want it anymore
take the taste off my lips,
don’t look at me like that
things haven’t gotten that bad
i’m doing everything i can

i know that i let you down
i wish i that i could have made you proud
but i wasn’t what you wanted
i  wasn’t what you needed

set it on fire,
i don’t want it anymore
take the taste off my lips,
don’t look at me like that
things haven’t gotten that bad
i’m doing everything i can

you keep on asking me how i feel
how the fuck am i supposed to know
when cutting too deep is the way i cope

i know that you are trying 
to keep me from falling
oh but i’m a fall risk
i’ve already fallen

set it on fire,
i don’t want it anymore
take the taste off my lips,
don’t look at me like that
things haven’t gotten that bad
i’m doing everything i can

set it on fire, on fire
i don’t want it anymore
set it on fire 
on fire 
on fire

lyrics

shifting my weight in lowercase
pixel new frame an obvious take
 
should i be taking it there
does anyone even care
care

i don’t know if i have what it takes
honestly did i make a mistake

hour twenty four
you’re always coming short
don’t bother to guess
you left it all a wreck

on hour twenty four
you’re always coming short
don’t bother to guess
you leave it all a wreck

say it’s all that you’ve ever wanted
look how far that you haven’t gotten

not as deep as i thought
why’d i even get caught up in it
(it’s not important)
i don’t know if i have what it takes
honestly did i make a mistake

hour twenty four
you’re always coming short
don’t bother to guess
you left it all a wreck

on hour twenty four
you’re always coming short
left it all
left it all
left it all

throwing my own wake
i’ll give it to you straight
not enough to save it
you’ll try to make it
you’ll try to make it, you’ll try
you’ll try to make it

everyone is greedy (feat. Laiko)

min.a, the moniker of NYC-based singer/songwriter/producer Michelle Lee Bae, makes indie pop anthems that transmit all the angsty, fuzzy, and pure feelings stirring inside her heart. Since debuting in 2018 with her breakthrough lo-fi single “by(e),” she established herself as a rising talent through her self-produced EPs of introspective lyricism and glitchy electronics. Now, min.a gears up to present the next self-assured evolution of her artistry with her new EP, are you watching at all?, a collection of deeply felt and cathartic songs, arriving in May.
