1896

Eat Your Heart

The greener grass grows where the wildfires fertilize
With ashes of sparrows, peppered moths, and butterflies
Ghosts of trees and termites bloom in the beanstalk

And if you get lightheaded when standing too fast
Is it from shaking out the weight of phosphenes and pasts
Salt deposits on warm little rivers that burst from our words

And god knows crying ain’t gonna change a thing
She said “take care,” but I take more than I bring.

She said “It just feels inhumane to lose this much”
Cause when you leave, you know you take more than your love
Just one week of cicada days we’re losing touch
And I know it just feels inhumane to lose this much.

Our nerves were braided under ceiling stars, they were all
Glow-in-the-dark, hanging over queen-sized 
Purple waves of ancient chemicals
Just whisper

Did you ever build with those endangered bones?
Well the ground looks soft enough to bury this now
Oh please, oh no.

And then my sponsor said “Do nothing. Nothing works.”
And then my doctor said “Don’t do that if it hurts.”

She said “It just feels inhumane to lose this much.”
Cause when you leave, you know you take more than your love.
The seasons of cicada days we can’t make up
And I know it just feels inhumane to lose this much.

Let all my red flags fade to white, yeah, I give up
Don’t let me leave, I’ll only take more than I gave. Okay, I’ll pack my stuff
Here at the end of days, my god, what have I done?
Christ now it feels damn inhumane to get all I've dreamed of

Keep coming back, it works if you work it
So work it, you’re worth it, it won’t if you don’t
One day at a time, tomorrow’s too late, amen.

"In case I make it,"

Cicada Days

People think this is someone besides will wood singing? 

That's enough, let's get you home. Will wood

lyrics below : 

I know what you said 
The words you told me are the words I wished that you told me way back then but it’s too late now & I know it’s ending 

I know what you said 
The words you told me are the words I wished that you told me way back then but it’s way too late & I know it’s ending 

Clock is ticking, running out of time 
Can’t find reasons why I think of you this time 
Left me stranded back then, you know you’re wrong 
Left me stranded back then, I know you’re lying 
Cus im trying forgiveness but I know it’s way too hard 
Said I’m way prettier with my glasses off but I know deep down you just wanted my blind 
Knew from the start, I knew you won’t mine 
But is it so hard to try? 
Cus when I’m deep in the night, I find myself back to you 
I’ve got my thoughts unscrewed 

I know what you said 
The words you told me are the words I wished that you told me way back then but it’s too late, I know that now 

I know what you said 
The words you told me are the words I wished that you told me way back then but it’s too late, I know that now 

Pray & pray, ask for forgiveness now 
Everytime I drive by your house I just hate being around cus all of the memories come back to me 
And all the odds are stacked against me 
It’s better than me, outclassing me 
& that’s just how you make me feel like 

I’m breaking, bending, changing 
Just for you, I’ll do it for you 

I’m breaking, bending, changing 
I’m breaking just for you 
Breaking, bending 

(I guess when it’s been so long, it’s harder to remember. what’s the last thing you told me? What did you say?) 

Tell me baby, do you hear my bones? 
It gets hard in the night when I’m all alone 
I’ve been breaking and changing for you 
Do you notice the things that I do for you? 
Do you notice the things that I do for you? 
Do you notice the things I do for—

One thing that I hate to realize is it won’ meant to be 
And to think at a point you were all I needed 
My hearts out on a platter, girl you’re feeding 
I know you’re feeding on me, I— 

I know what you said 
The words you told me are the words I wished that you told me way back then but it’s too late, I know that now 

I know what you said 
The words you told me are the words I wished that you told me way back then but it’s way too late & I know that now 

I’m breaking, bending, changing 
Just for you, I’ll do it for you 
I’m breaking, bending, changing
Im breaking just for you 
I’m breaking, bending, changing
I’m breaking just for you 
I’m breaking, bending, changing
I’m breaking just for you 

(No matter how much I change, it’s never enough)

Siren Song

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.
