lately
the days all blend together
the same things
and melancholy nights

sunbeams
might change up the weather
but in my dreams i wonder where you are

(I wonder where you are)

You're just on the horizon
though i know not to indulge, darling
I'm looking high and low

For my gumdrops
I left them on the counter
gumdrops
someone hid the jar, darling

the simple pleasure keeps my last 2 brain cells
from wondering where you are

You saw me at the turnstile
And I said I'm doing fine, darling
In one word we said goodbye
That's the scene in my mind

As I eat my gumdrops
they taste so sweet and sour
Gumdrops
They're never very far, darling
the simple pleasure keeps my last 2 braincells
from wondering where you are

from my gumdrops
I left them on the counter
Gumdrops
someone hid the jar, darling
the simple pleasure keeps my last 2 brain cells
from wondering where you are

i wonder where you are
i gaze upon the stars
and wonder where you are
i wonder where you are

gumdrops

have you seen this new ASMR
where they squeeze
sponges filled with soapy foam
and scrape away the stars
to gratify the hair upon your arms

and keep you whistling

keep me on fire keep me on fire i'll be alright
keep me on fire i'll be alright i'll be just fine
into the burning gaze
winds will obscure my ashes
call me a liar cause im so alive

have you seen
this new ASMR
yes indeed
or maybe you've texted the wrong guy
have you seen the time? gotta go do crimes (Oh no)

But there's cupcakes in the fridge
to keep you whistling

Keep me on fire
(now you know how I feel)
(say you can handle that my love is for real)
(please say you always borrow more than you steal)

the milk has inspired so call me a liar but now i'm inspired to plant some more trees

keep me on fire keep me on fire i'll be alright
keep me on fire i'll be alright i'll be just fine
into the burning gaze
winds will obscure my ashes

call me a liar cause i'm so alive

keep me on fire (now you know how I feel)
keep me on fire (now you know my love's real)

I was expired, I was inspired into the night
call me a liar cause i'm so alive

i'm so alive
i'm so alive
(you that I love, you that I like)
I'm so alive
(you that I love, you that I like)
I'm so alive

Girl I’m So Sorry Bro 
I’ve Been Thinking of the words to say
Bro I’m so sorry girl 
This is literally my first mistake
  I cringe just thinkin bout
How I fell on you and broke your face
(And now the angels know the error of my ways)

  Please take me at my word
Never meant to break into your house
I never realized
Just how bad it would be for my clout

(The winds of right and wrong have coalesced in shame) 
(I reprimand the deed I carry with my name)  
We could breathe a little deep in a 1,2,3
If some people had the courage to say
Girl I’m sorry bro
What can I do to repay

 We could get some more shit done in a 3,2,1
With some people who are willing to say
Bro I’m sorry girl
Forever and more always

  We could breathe a little deep in a 1,2,3
If some people had the courage to say 
Girl I’m sorry bro 
What can I do to repay
 On the same side of the sun in a 3,2,1
There’s the people who are too quick to cave

 Like I’m sorry girl, forever and more always 
Girl I’m sorry bro, what can I do to repay 
Bro I’m sorry girl, forever and more always
Girl I’m sorry bro, what can I do to repay

girl I'm so sorry bro

Nice to meet ya! i'm digging a hole
I'll never give you the remote control
I'm calling as I'm falling down the same hole that I dug last time

I wanna see ya! Or maybe I don't
You'll run for miles when you see my hole
I'm sprawling as I'm crawling down the crevasse where I keep my crumbs

The moon is howling at my window
Let me cook my feast
For the queen, for the queen, for the

Put it in the ground, put it in the ground

The careless oxen yawn and mangle songs stuck in their throats
For the queen to rectify the bad blood with her ghost
Don't throw out your rusty shovel guess who just found gold
In the hole, in the hole, in the

Keep it in the ground, keep it in the ground

nice to meet ya! ~i'm digging a hole~ (feat. adron)

we sail on endless waters
inside a jar that floats along the sea
reciting to our sons and daughters
songs among the breeze in a song among the breeze

we only are our islands
enlivened by the promise to the trees
all nourishing solemnly
into eternity

we stand in turbulent symmetry
in thanks to glimpse at peace

we only are our islands
we only are our islands
we only are our islands

rise, shine, open eyes
soak in the sounds
here them outpour
in your hands as water from the creaking faucet trickles down

rise, shine
aim your aching limbs upright!
I don’t deserve to feel it 
I don’t deserve to fear it
 Don’t glorify

And we only are
We are on fire

Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire

the sum of all our sirens

GUT STUFF

EASY DOES IT

Oh, Tommy!

I want everything in my body
Dumb luck doesn't come twice all the time

Don't ask me why I need this from you

Hands up this is a testimony
I suck everything serving you why

Don't ask me why I feed off fresh fruit

Was that the best you can do?
Bury me in nothing to lose
I come out my cocoon a butterfly, a butterfly

I won't wake the boss of my body
Who's up tryna get caught in a lie?

Don't ask me why I need this from you

I'm cucked into a testimony
Love lust lost to the angels on high

Don't ask me why I feed off fresh fruit


Was that the best you can do?
Bury me in nothing to lose
I come out my cocoon a butterfly, a butterfly

But what am I? But what am I?
A butterfly, a butterfly
But what am I? But what am I?

Shoutouts to @noah-d-kess for helping me with this mix

Man, I fucking love Earthbound battle music. Its like New Jack Swing from hell. There's no music like it that I've found.

I decided not to embellish it and kind of keep it close to the original... of course, this would be a really fun jumping off point for some crazy shit.

Ooh I gotta buy some groceries

I come to u when I am lonely my only release 
My bubble bath dream cream

i’m trim and tidy just like u

LYRICS

i was treading in the sea
fastened to the fable of an island made of green

and i was threading through my seams
tangled in the fabric of a fleeting fever dream

far beyond my mind's fixation
there are fascists making factions of their fucked up brigades

and im a sad little boy
playing with childhood toys
and fluoxetine joys

in the fashion of a

i'm the sad little mouth
screaming without a sound
oh! hold me dear, I wallow out in vain

i'm the perilous weight
pinning you to the gate
as metal coils clash and call out your name

just when you think i'm gonna stop
im winding up these frail chains for one more good time romp

cause you're such a class act
such a lad, such a snack
when your fiction is fact
in the fashion of a

additional platforms

FASHION feat. paige

u see me sleepwalk
down the corridor of your seam pocket
every night
and when i sleeptalk
don't believe a word its the sheep talkin
they tell lies

but i know i can depend on u
because i know ur here to see things through
luella's the moon

you see me sleepwalk
dancing in the throes of the twilight
you see me sleepwalk
ring around the rose of a third eye

i've got to keep the rhythm in motion
to keep from goin under the ocean
while luella sings a lullaby

and i know i can depend on u
because i know ur here to see things through
as true as the moon

Sleepwalk

Every day 
In every way 
I'm happy to say 
I'm getting better 

I fell on my head 
Just when you thought I was dead 
I'm getting better 

I'm getting better 

Got stuck in a maze 
And in my thick haze 
I roamed the same place what seemed forever 
Matched eyes with my fate 
I laughed in his face 
I'm getting better 

I'm getting better 

I'm getting better 

La la la la la la la la 
La la la la la la la la 

I'm covered in stings 
It don't mean a thing to me 

I'm getting better 
I'm getting better 
I'm getting better 
I'm getting worse

getting better

Read my lips but don't you dare reply 
Cause I am just a dinosaur 
Alive inside a screen 

Ring me out and hang me up to dry 
I don't believe in dinosaurs 
But I know Ghosts are real 

There's a ghost in my home 
But its better than being alone 
Reading read receipts with no replyin 
Yes my house is haunted 
Thats the way I want it 
Read receipts with no replyin 

Grab me by the ghost and suck my eyes 
I don't believe in animals 
Milk comes from the trees 

Is you am a spectre of the night 
Cause I am just an animal 
A strange anemone 

There's a ghost in my home 
But its better than being alone 
Reading read receipts with no replyin 
Yes my house is haunted 
Thats just what I wanted 
Read receipts with no replyin 

There's a ghost in my home 
But its better than being alone 
When you don't light up my phone I'm cryin 
Yes my house is haunted 
That's just what I wanted 
Read receipts with no replyin 

Reading read receipts with no replyin 
When you don't light up my phone I'm cryin 
When you don't light up my phone

Let Me Out

If U Think of Me

when the day becomes the night
something else consumes my sight
every full moon must collide
as the sirens silence all the violins

where's the wolf that's feeding on the hounds?
where's the wolf that's feeding on the hounds?

in the days of stone and ice
heard that rainfall out of sight
now your game's in broad daylight

when the violins silence all the sirens you set off
you did this to yourself
thought that you could rig the game and no one would tell
you said a beast was on the loose
and maybe that was true
cause now we know that all this time the werewolf was you
the werewolf was you

the werewolf was you

when the violins silence all the sirens you set off
you did this to yourself
thought that you could rig the game and rob us to hell
you said a beast was on the loose
and maybe that was true
cause in the end we all found out the werewolf was you
the werewolf was you

you're the wolf that's feeding on the hounds
you're the wolf that's feeding on the hounds

The Werewolf
