this is, without a doubt, my best work yet. its been a long evolution for me, from making shitty music with a knockoff xxxtentacion flow using a free daw to having a community to share with, and this. thank you all for being there for me, from when i released my first hyperpop song through teardrop digital in may of 2020, to when i released shapes and colors, to the release of this project and everything in between. this album took a while to put together, but now that it is finished i proudly present my second full-length lp. thanks again, i love you all.

editors notes: this song used to be a 52 blue mondays clone called 'eye' but i decided to put the lyrics for eye on a less ... clone wannabe sounding beat :)

lyrics:
i just dont know whats going on
all these words are swooping down and pecking, oh my god
paintings look at me with bad intent
unreality, its just so hard to comprehend

its all an abstraction
a piece of the world, just a miniscule fraction
i can't take the factions
we're just so divided, dont start the subtraction

knives in my eyes
and in my back that you left in me
you took my life
can't take that back, i won't rest in peace
trudge across the earth with an open wound
blood dripping down, i'll miss that soon
knives in my eyes
and in my back that you left in me

paint a hundred thousand paintings of what you suspect
is inside my mind, and it won't be right
write a hundred thousand books about what to perfect
how to follow the light, how to keep things tight
and you're hurting my head like my brains in a blender
im feeling the rain, cause im under the weather
and i know i'll get back at you soon
yea i know i'll get back at you soon

aaaaaaaah
aaaaaaaah
i just dont know whats going on
all these words are swooping down and pecking, oh my god
paintings look at me with bad intent
unreality, its just so hard to-

and when i do it hurts my head
and when i do it hurts
and when i do it hurts my head
and when i do it hurts

knives in my eyes
and in my back that you left in me
you took my life
can't take that back, i won't rest in peace
trudge across the earth with an open wound
blood dripping down, i'll miss that soon
knives in my eyes
and in my back that you left in-

(knives in my back you left in me, in me)

lyrics:
if youre the cream into my coffee imma start drinking it black
you took a whole year of my life and i will never get it back
you know your concentrations low, you could never stay on track
i can cut you no more slack, now you gotta take the flak
if youre the sunshine on my valley then i guess its gonna rain
you dont reply to any texts, my heart is heavy, feel the pain
you know youve lost all of the evidence thats backing up your claim
you think im the one to blame

i been on the low
i been trying to stay incognito
if youre trying to make contact please dont
i do good by myself
i dont need any help

if youre trying to make contact please dont
i do good by myself

prod. me
mixed/mastered by me + jedwill
soprano vox lead : rosesleeves
verses : rosesleeves + jedwill + button maker
editors notes: this beat had a lot of renovation done to it over a while, i made almost all of these sounds myself including that cool bass :) the melody was mainly inspired by a segment in an old melodic fuckery thing i found on newgrounds i dont remember the name of, and the ending epic pad section was inspired by fka by underscores and i think the riser into it may sample it as well

lyrics:
[phixel]
ouch you're intruding, dont make me lose it
wish i could erase you from my headspace
ouch you're confusing, you're so elusive
wish i could erase you from my headspace
ouch you're intruding, dont make me lose it
wish i could erase you from my headspace
ouch you're confusing, you're so elusive
wish i could erase you from my headspace

[rosesleeves]
i’m so damn gone babe
take a pill to the brain
can’t help feeling lost i
guess i was made this way
it always feels the same
can’t make it go away
it-it-it hurts so bad
and i can’t make it change

[phixel]
ouch you're intruding, dont make me lose it
wish i could erase you from my headspace
ouch you're confusing, you're so elusive
wish i could erase you from my headspace

[jedwill]
Ah

You know that I miss you when I call you lately
I can never talk, I’m confusing, hate me
Why do I avoid your time
Just like I avoid your eyes
But did you catch that you just might miss it
I think about you a lot but I’ve been distant
I’m sorry guess it’s just my loss
You’re precious I should count your cost
I’ve waited long
It’s all so soft
My heart was locked
You make me calm

[button maker]
Ooh I'm lost in my own headspace
(Can't help but feel like I'm losing control) 
Ooh, Always last in the race
(I've waited so many, so many lifetimes)
And I know it may never be my time
(It's so confusing, like, headache inducing)
Ooh,  even though it's always the same
(I wouldn't have it any other way)

[phixel]
ouch you're intruding, dont make me lose it
wish i could erase you from my headspace
ouch you're confusing, you're so elusive
wish i could erase you from my headspace
ouch you're intruding, dont make me lose it
wish i could erase you from my headspace
ouch you're confusing, you're so elusive
wish i could erase you from my headspace

[rosesleeves]
i’m so damn gone babe
take a pill to the brain
can’t help feeling lost i
guess i was made this way
it always feels the same
can’t make it go away
it-it-it hurts so bad
and i can’t make it change

[phixel]
ouch you're intruding, dont make me lose it
wish i could erase you from my headspace
ouch you're confusing, you're so elusive
wish i could erase you from my headspace

mixed/mastered by me
editors notes: this was VERY VERY fun to produce, holidaykiss and boxkitty made some of the melody presets used in this song so thank them so much this wouldnt have been possible without both of them :D i think this is the only song on the project that doesnt have fast dist on the master

lyrics:
its a game of hide and seek
you're the seeker, but you're always peeking
no one ever invited me
im a sleeper, never the best public speaker
been so many years without a good day
guess that's just my luck, dont know what to say
im losing my mind, think i'll catch a blade
there's no sunny days, only hurricanes

and i think that we all could do way better
we're all score-setters, right down to the letter
yeah i think that we'd all rather be somewhere better
like stuck in the cold with no sweater
and it's all your fault, but its also my fault
we're faulty for certain, we got faulty circuits
when we break and we fall, and we hit the asphalt
know we're faulty for certain, we got faulty circuits
and i think that we all could do way better
we're all score-setters, right down to the letter
yeah i think that we'd all rather be somewhere better
like stuck in the cold with no sweater

feels like there's a snowstorm inside my brain
left me to the hounds, i feel so betrayed
why does someone always rain on my parade?
there's no sunny days, only hurricanes
you got a brain denser than cobalt
and a high that rivals a pole vault
you're a bit dumb by default
couldn't get fazed by a thunderbolt
more simple than a barrel vault
couldn't succeed in a somersault
got a personality like rotten malt
with methanol

and i think that we all could do way better
we're all score-setters, right down to the letter
yeah i think that we'd all rather be somewhere better
like stuck in the cold with no sweater
and it's all your fault, but it's also my fault
we're faulty for certain, we got faulty circuits
when we break and we fall, and we hit the asphalt
know we're faulty for certain, we got faulty circuits
and i think that we all could do way better
we're all score-setters, right down to the letter
yeah i think that we'd all rather be somewhere better
like stuck in the cold with no sweater

(and i think that we all could do way better
we're all score-setters, right down to the letter
yeah i think that we'd all rather be somewhere better
like stuck in the cold with no sweater)
