Trampoline sensations 
lingering 
I fall asleep 
grinning 
and awake 
grinning 
in awe 
at what I 
see saw 
see saw 
see saw 
see saw... 

It's unreal 
it's unreal 
it's unreal... 
It's unreal 
it's unreal 
it's unreal... 
It's unreal 
it's unreal 
it's un— 

Cornucopia sofa 
so far you are 
treating me A-OK today— 
Eleemosynary celery 
boyar 
born of crimson velvet clay 
born on an inclement Friday 
born in the month of March... 

Tambourine tintinnabulations 
annotating 
birdsong, bee song, 
thumping bunny hearts 
clinging 
in awe 
to what they 
see saw 
see saw 
see saw 
see saw... 

It's unreal 
it's unreal 
it's unreal... 
It's unreal 
it's unreal 
it's unreal... 
It's unreal 
it's unreal 
it's un 
reeling in the Earth 
cartwheel and coincide 
sidewind and surrealize 
Sun reeling in the Earth 
Earth reeling in the Sun 
(parenthetical asides aside) 
Sun and Earth 
having begun 
accrete 
accrue 
accelerate— 
collide... 

Pierce my wrists with your nails, 
pierce my temples with your thorns; 
Revoke my resurrection license, 
I can't bear to be reborn. 
Place me on a bed of shells 
(relics of pistachios) 
within earshot of the sound, 
somewhere over the Narrows…

The Sound Narrows

The third song of the set, wherein the history of Oedipus, one of the sinister Suits, is examined, as is the terrible disease which he defeated.

Creature of Habit By Bug Hunter. This is the 2nd bonus track on their 3rd album, Bigger Than Myself

I am a creature of habit
my tastes are immovable, I order the usual
and I already know what I want...
keep your menu, I know what I want…

Because the options are endless, they're overwhelming at times
you just have too much to sell me, so many things to decide
you may mock me for opting for what is already mine
but what if my cookie cutter is one of a kind?

I think there's too much to choose and I've had it
Don't change me, creature of habit

Left foot, right foot, same way 'round
but with this push - I put my foot down
Yeah, this time I want change
I'm gonna do somethin' crazy 
(actually, no I'm not)

So let me explain, I'm not that anxious to changes
I'm not afraid to adapt or think it's actually dangerous
It's just a preference to routine and familiar faces
I won't break down or die if I just happen to break it
I keep the cause to myself, I feel it's reekin' of ego
and it’s a fine line to walk, so I am threading that needle
It's just the whole human race, well I can take 'em or leave 'em
and I can say that, I swear, some of my best friends are people

It just feels so good when I've planned it
Same time, same place, creature of habit

Left foot, right foot, same way 'round
but with this push - I put my foot down
Yeah, this time I want change
I'm gonna do somethin' crazy...
/
...Actually no I'm not gonna act like you ask me to act
Like a simple machine checking task after task
I'm my own human being and I happen to lack
the need to be seen chasing fad after fad
And I know there's a world full of wonders to see
with places to go and pancakes to eat
but I base what I know on what things bring me peace
My circadian soul likes the pace and the beat
that maintains my breathin', blood flow and sleep
but won't lift my feet or break my routine

So left foot, right foot, same way 'round...

Shayfer James has built a creative world entirely his own—where poetic lyricism collides with cinematic arrangements, where darkness waltzes with whimsy, where rebellion and vulnerability share the same breath. His work explores the dual forces of isolation and belonging, of longing and defiance, all delivered with theatrical flair and unmistakable swagger that both welcomes and unsettles.
