do what u say u will
i should really take my own advice
like i bit a bitter pill
shouldve learned made the same mistake twice
had a feeling i was a fool
now i know its true!!

the kind of bitterness i just can't shake
someone help me get rid of this aftertaste

forget the love i used to give
and send condolences to all my pride
the truth is hard to swallow
its alright just another thorn in my side

had a feeling it wasnt u
now i know its true
NOTHING MATTERS ANYWAY (TBH)
someone help me get rid of this aftertaste

tell me things are gonna be ok
one more time
always feel like i’m going the wrong way

just cause you push it out of your head
doesn't mean it’s not there

tell me not to worry one more time

mom’s asking what i’m gonna do
my sister’s telling me i’m screwed
shouldn’t you be doing something too?
shouldn’t you be doing something?

sometimes i think i’m better in my head
anamorphic daydreaming instead
about 
living in a pretty place
darling not a pretty price to pay
baby get your act together
it's a cold cruel world out there!

mom’s asking what i’m gonna do
my sister’s telling me im screwed
shouldnt you be doing something too?
shouldnt you be doing something?

japanese breakfast - this house

face wants - a concept i learned about in class that led to a lot of self reflection and synths
//
impostor syndrome strikes again
looks like everybody wants to be your friend
but when the curtains close do you even know where you will go?
feeling so alone

secretly sleepwalk in the light
you found shelter in the shadow of your mind
shapeshift to fit inside a framework that you like
feeling lost inside

what do you want me to
be i think i might lose
myself if you don't choose yeah
i've been waiting for you
a beacon in the night
some semblance of a sign
i'd give it all sometimes
to know what's waiting for you

self-made distraction traps you in
how do you know that you are meant to be just this?
you seek a sense of validation from a screen
do they know you're who you want yourself to be?
do you know you're who you want yourself to be?

what do you want me to
be i think i might lose
myself if you don't choose yeah
i've been waiting for you
a beacon in the night
some semblance of a sign
i'd give it all sometimes
to know what's waiting for you

"face wants" is an ode to myself about a concept i learned about in class. if i remember correctly, there are two types of face and one of them is called positive face, which refers to our desire for praise and approval from others. face wants is the idea that we want other people to fulfill our face so we can feel validated, and we do many things to protect or save face, or how we appear to others. 

when i was making “face wants” i thought a lot about how social media is an outlet where we can inflate our self-image and portray the person that we want to be. it can be very confusing to figure out who you are, especially when you’re young and bombarded with messages we find on the internet about who we should like, where we should be, what we should look like and what we should be doing. it made me reflect about my relationship with social media and how sometimes i find myself "shapeshifting to fit inside a framework" that i like, which is, a lot of the time, not the greatest thing for one’s mental health. using instagram as a mirror or a tool for approval can be damaging and is something i’m still working on.

since a lot of my music is kind of slow and mellow, i thought it would be an interesting juxtaposition to pair a modern-day concept like social media with an energetic ‘80s new wave vibe, a genre i hold dear to my heart because of my parents and their love for it.

face wants

don't waste your time
i'll keep mine
i blame myself for even trying

did you come my way
just to give yourself a stage?
all the love you feigned
just to feel a change in pace

kiss and run
make a mess for 
me to save
have your fun
light a fire
then walk away
kiss and run

i'm out of your mind
you're on mine
i replay that day, i want to rewind 

but you came my way
cause you craved a game to play
showed me you could stay
while you knew you'd fade away

kiss and run
make a mess for 
me to save
have your fun
light a fire
then walk away
kiss and run

// written, recorded + produced by bianca ocampo

happy - demo

i could never call myself
your winning luck
your gem beneath the junk
a smile 
your little spell
is not enough to keep me hanging on your shelf

there's nothing more i'd regret 
than wasting all my time instead
waiting for the perfect one
to give me everything i want
you can give it all to her
somebody that needs it more
i'll love myself
better than you can
but you have my mind
always spinning 

i won't settle for
a late night excuse for you to come darken my door
and every night i rest easily
knowing that babe
you're what i want not what i need

there's nothing more i'd regret 
than wasting all my time instead
waiting for the perfect one
to give me everything i want
you can give it all to her
somebody that needs it more
i'll love myself
better than you can
but you have my mind
always spinning

nevergoodenough

if there’s one thing you should know
it’s that i’d rather play the fool 
i’m good at showing that i care
was never one to play it cool

you could've told me all your secrets
i would’ve told you all mine back 
but you left me in the dark
and let it all just fade to black

are you gonna let it die?
you’re not even gonna try
cause you’d rather let it die
you’re not even gonna try

i tried to wish it all away
i even tried to cry it out
i worked until the break of day
drove with the music way too loud

sometimes i think i hurt your feelings 
and other times i think you're fine
i wonder if things would be different
if you had just considered mine

are you gonna let it die?
you’re not even gonna try
cause you’d rather let it die
you’re not even gonna try

first aid kid - in the hearts of men

"transparency," my latest release is out next month. here's a demo i've been working on since last summer.

"skin"
i woke up with a lump in my throat
visions of you and the way that you spoke
it's 7am and it doesnt make sense
and i'm trying to forget before i fall in

with brown paper skin i fold to the touch
takes a gentle smile and i crumble to dust
but you'll never see what's underneath
no i won't let you in i won't let you see

if i could shed my skin and start anew
maybe i'd be better for you
a false scheme in a drunken dream
wish you'd say those same words when i'm not asleep

well i'm tired of dreaming of being who i can't be
cause i'll never be her but she'll never be me
but if you saw me the way that i wanted to be seen
i wouldn't be here wishing that it wasnt a dream

if i could shed my skin and start anew
maybe i'd be better for you
a false scheme in a drunken dream
wish you'd say those same words when i'm not asleep

"recover" 

from my mind i wonder
if i'll ever recover

i'm always holding out
i know that you'll let me down

i try to convince you
i try to convince me too

i wish i could be you
that way i wouldn't feel too

i walk by myself in 
the same place that we met

and there is not another
i wish i could recover
