This is a remake of a song from 2020 that was inspired by my friend
The anniversary is on the 25th, but here's an early upload.
Big thanks to @c-sc-j-g! If it wasn't for them, this song wouldn't exist, so big kudos. They also made the art for the cover!

Lyrics:
Yellow bird takes flight
Through a haze of perplexing sights
About a dozen chained-down lobotomites
Who have wealth in trade for their human rights
The ground made his talons hurt
Much harder than soil and much colder than dirt
Slipped in the sweat of an overworked
Low salary man full of hunger and thirst

Down below, an amber glow ignites
All the gizmos and gadgets hissed and then he took flight
But the worker, far distanced from day and night
Stared so empty at the screen, and it's blaring blue light
The little bird noticed there were nine at every cubicle
With several being wheeled out like a twisted pharmaceutical
The scared little thing tried to whistle something musical
The worker blew his brains out, he was just another numeral

Work is good
And love is bad
This is what
We teach our class

Work is good
And love is bad
This is what
We teach our class
Contract doesn't
Pay for cries
Extinguishing
Soul and spite

Little bird
So bright and live
Flying up
Far in the sky
We only leave
When we die
Then they turn us
Into dimes

Lyrics:
You put a woman in a coffin
You said you'd do it just for me
You wanna freak me out
Try to send me south
But you only make me more enticed, with you I can't live without

I wanna spiral out in the void
But only if I can bring you along
Your sick obsession gives me hope
Can't wash off these sins with soap
Maybe we could climb along this ever-ripping rope

Oh
Let you break me, let you take me
Let you love me, let you cuff me
I'm a creature built off habit
See your love and I must have it
Think I'm scared that you're a psycho
Baby that's a green light, I'll go
Diving deeper in your madness
Maybe it could cure my sadness

I have only the insects to keep me company

Every time I look at you I'm drawn in
Who cares if I'm impaled by the debris?
A brand new dream will sprout
Grows much faster down 
Than it does up, touch the core of the Earth
Burns up and shrivels out

An orchid lasts only for a moment
The ecstasy I feel's a projection
I was a child born without hope
Can't wash off all my shame with soap
And if I can't become my dream then atleast let me untie the roap

Oh
Let you break me, let you take me
Let you love me, let you cuff me
I'm a creature built off habit
See your love and I must have it
Think I'm scared that you're a psycho
Baby that's a green light, I'll go
Diving deeper in your madness
Maybe it could cure my sadness

Oh

Lyrics:

(Okay, all flight controllers, go, no go for landing)
(Retro? Go)
(Fido? Go)
(Guidance? Go)
(Control? Go)
(Telcomm? Go)
(Gnc? Go)
(Eecomm? Go)
(Surgeon? Go)
(Cap comm, we're go for landing)

(Hello?)

Your skin is purple and it's glowing in the sky
A sweet religion that was born inside my mind
Where I am eos and astraeus with astraea in my eyes
But my skin is dry, but my skin is dry

Keep on running, spawn of neptune
Keep on swimming to the shores of avalon
Keep on running, spawn of neptune
Keep on swimming to the shores of avalon

(Everything around me became suddenly unreal)
(As if it were a dream)

I flew the chasm and found flowers in the thorns
Dark apparitions guard a silver ghost that mourns
I wrap her body in a blanket and take her out of the rain
Make sure she's told she has a purpose and it's miles above this pain

Can you feel it?
When it crashes
It welds worlds and builds castles from ashes
Can you feel it?
When it crashes
It welds worlds and builds castles from ashes
Can you feel it?
When it crashes
It welds worlds and builds castles from ashes

Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?

Lyrics:

(Give me some time)
(To make you mine)
(So we'll be fine)
(Just for one day)
(I didn't stay)
(Now it's okay)

I threw away the things knew 
Like they were never even there
You and I had our own home 
But the walls were so thin

(Give me some time)
(To make you mine)
(So we'll be fine)
(Just for one day)

We used to talk about different ways 
Of you running away right through the window
And both of us hanging at Casey Park 
Around Twelve in the morning, dancing in the snow

I think I need to take
Responsibility
And figure out just what the hell
Is wrong with me?

Give Me Some Time

Lyrics:
(Bending to time with all of God's creatures)

Your connection is dying
And I won't hear it again
Oh no
There's no reception on the moon and
Time won't let me go
Oh no
(Bending to time and all of God's creatures)

A ventricle cooling 
Kept warm by it's own ambition
To preserve the vestige
Ahead of the coronation

I know it's been some time
Since last you seen alive
You're sitting on my desk
With no eyes left to cry
There are no words in mind
That I could even try
To put into a line
To convey how this feels

I sit and think about the good times
All the ones I passed
Oh no
Maybe if we had loved you more
The memories would last
Oh no
(Bending to time and all of God's creatures)
(Bending to time and all of God's creatures)

A ventricle cooling 
Kept warm by it's own ambition
To preserve the vestige
Ahead of the coronation

(I know it's been some time)
(Since last you seen alive)
(You're sitting on my desk)
(With no eyes left to cry)
I know it's been some time
Since last you seen alive
You're sitting on my desk
With no eyes left to cry
There are no words in mind
That I could even try
To put into a line
To convey how this feels

Lyrics:

What am I supposed to know
You're telling me to run the show
Can I expect a miracle to come
Don't get mad because I'm late
It was your choice to recreate
Mistakes you've made a little more than once
Now you have a piece of me
Do you need three? please let me be
I'm doing everything you say and want
Descend from your mountain top
Queen of the sky let secrets drop
Please discharge all your loyal confidants

Impotent Flies
Cannot tell truth nor lie
But they hear when you cry
While they buzz in the sky
Tell me a lie
It'll keep me alive
If I could hear anything

I am just falling deep within myself
My mattress imprint leads to hell
Rogue spirits rest so heavy on my chest
Getting out of bed is rough
And matching socks is hard enough
So sky queen, tell me what I'm doing wrong
Every person that I've met
Ignored, hated, or loved to death
Was just another path I didn't see
Some of them would lead to springs
But some could hide horrible things
I don't think that this path's the one for me

Argue the Sun ft. Maggie Mae

Truth hurts, 
But uncertainty tortures.
And the mind is a much worse punishment than anything built by man,
Because you cannot run from it.

TO JUNO
Thank you so much for being friends with me for this long
(and thanks for making the cover art ;) )
I appreciate you so much and you're one of the coolest people I've ever met.
Here's to more Pursuits.

Lyrics:
Far away in presence but in
Essence not far from home
Took a couple dollars and I
Hollared "it's time to go"
Five hundred miles of pure lightning
It's so exciting and so frightening
Only a little in the beginning
The ripple of a rock in Arethusa's wings
But then we slipped in the bank
Stargazing Pluto to thank
It took two minutes for Two Hats 
To hit the ground flank
To hit the ground and flank

From a prayer for an open oddity
And not another Aphex Twin wanna be
Birthed a North Star from a stick in the sand
A virtuoso in the shoes of a Peter Pan
Uneasy footing turned potential to a mile ran
The diamond in the rough, kinetic like nobody can
You grabbed the rulebook by the back and took it sideways
You read it upside down and laid the pavement for the byway

You don't have to pray that you'll bounce back
I promise in everyway
You'll get a second chance
And life will be okay
And I'll help you everyday

Everyone can add things to the pot
I'll stir the wicked cauldron
Everyone's got something they can tell
It might not be an answer
I've enjoyed your cents, you've spilled the jar
Even when you said it'd spill far

Hats Off
