Sedona  - Cupid's Victim  sex playlist edit

I just opened up Hokusai and let the shit flow u know what I'm saying bro
yeah
songs are written easier when there's no stakes and u just make some shit up on the fly
and keep layering harmonies. then just copy and paste the whole thing right after 
so it repeats twice
then make some lyrics
then u have a song man

Technical Evangelism (2)

i love this song im feeling it now squidward

The Chariot 1 - meditation

This sort of got conjured up in garageband, when I was thinking of a heartfelt moment, I was thinking of two people who love each other who are having a difficult conversation.

Princess Zelda1

A sequel to princess zelda. An upbeat picked up version. Basically you swinging the pain away with ROCk and RIFFS. Ayaaaaa

Shiek1

THis song reminds me of someone who reminds me of being a teenager again. It's That feeling I have when we are together now, I feel young and carefree to be happy and silly about things. Sometimes I notice I'm trying really hard to seem and act grown up but that makes me sad because I'm young and I want to be happy about being young. This song reminds me of those summer nights with those people you love, staying out late on a school night, wishing those moments would last forever and ever

I will never forget them. Thank yuo for the great memories

Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl Cover

HELLO MY FRIEND
IM WRIITNG AGAIN BECAUSE MY 96 EYES ALL CRY FOR YOU

MILKSHAKES IS GOOD AND IM DOING FINE
I DONT WANNA GET OLD 
GET SICK AND DIE

IM THINKING LIKE I ONCE DID
I WONT TELL YOU WHY BUT I MEANT IT
IM IN SOUTH CALIFORNIA 
CHASING THE FLIES AWAY WITH THE BACK OF MY HAND

Super Love Torture

DREAM LOVER DEMO(Maiden Song 1)

I feel a tear fall onto my lips
first sweet then turns sour
and when the thunder claps in the sky
it lights your face like a lightning rod

theres nothing like a bout of competition
to get us at our optimal condition
to make a worthy man out of a maggot
im trying my best to articulate it

but then I still like the unconsciousness of it
the words stream out like a waterfall 
out of this everlasting dream 
of you

DRAGGED BY THE CHARIOT
WILD HORSE TO HEAVEN 
FROM BEGINNING TO THE END
SHOWN ME PERFECTION 
AIMED TO GAIN A LOVER
THEN WE LOSE OUR CLOSEST FRIEND

I see a glass house made for insects
a multiplying colony
they climb and crawl into pyramids
subjects in my own kingdom

theres nothing like a bout of recognition
to bring us just an ounce of inspiration
i wring my body out to show contrition
im trying my best to articulate it

"Lonely Tropical Fish" Live at Baker Studios

"The Human Error" Live at Baker Studios

wouldnt have made it to prom on time if my spite werent attaching every segment of my spine
wouldve had myself buried alive if i didnt remember better uses for time
cause it didnt work in this life
maybe it will in the next
maybe ill find someones wife to sacrifice as a mistress
or an elixir for tricking someone to fall in my pit
and then entrance them for showing some flesh and then undress

but this is not the way that our daddy raised us

cause weve had our ups and downs
but what could we be now
you set me up for
torching your wedding gowns

wouldnt have used any reason to try if i wasnt addicted to your moaning and sighs
and out of the times i have watched you cry I realized being malicious is just as much of a crime
but i stand by my innocence
never told much of a lie
though I admit that sometimes I mightve tightened your binds

but if i live forever
i hope im not haunted by your ghost
cause i could either rest my lips upon your kiss
or press my wrists against your throat

but this is not tha waaaaay

if fame is just the way to your heart
let me lead you to a stage thats made of
dismembered body parts
if its the way
then smile and wave because we're 
all just slaves to your charm

then let me lead you to a stage thats made of
cocaine opium scars
hey now, dont you cry
this knife immortalizes when we get
that blood to discharge

and as my tentacles crawl to you
you wake up groggy, confused!!
youre so sedated and invaded into
and so stretched out in the nude
but we're {expletive}ing for peace and then you
rub on my teeth
and then you cut it 
but fcuk it
cause we want violence
and youre spreading the tears
in your dress

the time has come for me to
to give myself to the one
and find a good husband
to change me into a good woman
and though I might like to be
the poison foam thats busy rotting the sea
i spend all my time to
give all my time to 
lying w queen of mornings

but dont u dare walk away from me

throb like a heart 
pump like a piston
throb like a heart
pump like a piston

"if you come over you can still fuck me"

First we play Invention 8 then Back to December

Bach to December (Taylor Swift x Invention 8 Dminor)

I figured out how to make more than one track on garageband
-
You love me like a heroine in books that you were
forced to read
you cant relate to tragedy like
voltaire or candide
napoleon or ulysses 
in a dream i had a sword
i mowed their throats like they were weeds

but you love me like an animal that 
sometimes you forget to feed
and leave outside
even when its raining

Chrysanthemum garden
resting place of all time and space
I'm a relentlessly morbid lover
to you baby
if you kiss me 
i would die

black out drunk in a hotel room
i really wanna call you

passed out drunk in the afternoon

Chrysanthemum (Hypnotic Guide to Trepanation)

EVERYONE BELOW THE RIVER IS A FILTHY SPY
come and meet your maker
eat your skin for dinner 

spend some good time with satan
give unto thee advice
I'm HOT for indoctrination baby!
please be my sacrifice

your mother gave birth to a weakling
keeps failing to learn and to sprout

how can you raise her honor
crying like a child
there is no place for

well see you caught my eye with your

how could you have lasted such a way long time

wheres that iron will you're always talking about
going around 
breaking your promise, breaking your mothers heart
one more time
annoyingly
one more time

The Entire History Of You.m4a

youve got a headache 
ive got a hard on

and youre in love with sex
but youre afraid of whores
and you cry when you lose
and you eat when youre bored

there is nothing so very special about a fucking liar
once you know them

I get weaker drinking on the weekends
we take tubes
vomit on the metro
its not a test of trust
we kill what we love
uh huh 

must ignore it
cant afford to 
pay attention to it

youve got a headache

Before we got along
I was 
nothing but
shyyyy

Now we're getting by
cut close
now that I
impose

its okay first
then i get old
then i get sad
then I get worse

takin it easy on our last night on earth

(I played the bass on this! -erica)

oh its amazing what we hear when we sit and listen

lyrics
she said dont mind disrespecting my bloodlines 
music and love transcend distance and time 
but I hope you have had a good time 

but I hope you know that was a lie 

eight branches 
one heart 
900,000,000 centimeters apart 
but dont you look down my friend 
cause I will see you again 

でも今日は似って (demo kyou wa nitte) 
she said 
du gor illa mig 

just a little pressure can make a jewel burst to dust 
you know I wont find you wherever you go because ah 

my eyes go wide as I dilate 
and I'm paralyzed so you can escape

Guitar & vox: Erica Butts
Guitar: Franklin Savulich

Hjarta

If it gets hard to continue living
Id rather die like a dog for a better cause
or at least recall all of the good times we both gave each other
I look to those memories when I feel weak to comfort myself

We woke up on a Sunday morning
I was born on a Friday afternoon
went outside and the sun was shining
till night I kept on whispering:

"We are given more than we deserve"

Love and devotion numbing a chronic fear of emotion
for you my dear
Itd be such an honor, guarding your sanctity forever

For 'Psychogore', upcoming third album from Rest Ashore
Using Casio VL-Tone, Ditto pedal, Garageband
Drawn and played by Erica Butts

Devotion

i miss the veil of reality
i want to feel my mind back in my body
i want to feel some security
surrounding me
like the fish wrapped up in the sea

put your head on my shoulder and waltz to the beat
with that chemical leaf
awake while you dream
i packed up my things leave my keys on the sink
but youll never miss me
the way you miss delinquency

the wine and the blood mixing
makes a stain on the sheets
a kiss on the cheek and the tongue and the teeth
makes a heart of a beast sing
and i admit that revenge and that old jealousy
has been my worst enemy
lucy runs cold
turn her body to soil
but the sweat and the tears on her skin warm to boil

lying outside in the nude
as they stretch and invade you
we give our goodbyes yes we'll see you next time
it was nice to meet again
