think of me

Polaroids of a Moving Car

[Verse 1]
I picked a thought from the garden of noise,
It dripped down my hand like a voice,
Tasted sweet, then turned to static,
Guess I bit off something tragic.

I watered my doubt with caffeine dreams,
Grew a forest out of broken schemes,
Every color bled through time,
And I forgot which head was mine.

[Pre-Chorus]
All the clocks are bending slow,
My shadow hums in stereo,
If I speak too loud I fade,
Just fruit on a branch I made.

[Chorus]
Mindfruit — dripping from my ceiling,
Juice of all my twisted feelings,
Peel it back and watch me shine,
Rot or bloom, it’s all divine.

Mindfruit — bite it if you dare,
I’ve got galaxies tangled in my hair,
The seeds all hum, they know my name,
But nothing ever grows the same.

[Verse 2]
I swallowed a song and forgot the words,
Now melodies flutter like psychic birds,
They perch in my skull and sing in code,
While my body walks a different road.

Lick the light, it tastes like fear,
But I keep coming back every year,
This orchard grows where logic ends,
And every branch forgets to bend.

[Bridge]
The colors melt through veins of sound,
My roots lift off the haunted ground,
Can’t tell if I’m real or fruit of thought,
But every dream I’ve sold, I bought.

[Final Chorus]
Mindfruit — dripping through the dawn,
Reality hums, then it’s gone,
Peel it open, let it slide,
Bite the core and watch me hide.

Mindfruit — bitter, bright, and free,
Growing wild inside of me,
The sweetest taste of what’s not true,
But I keep eating just for you.

i left my body in the mirror

I found you fighting all alone

Tryna fake the world away

The widest smile to ever hold you

Was no more real than all your dreams, when they sing


"I was made for something more than this

The world don't get me like you get me

Tell me you believe the way I do"

But I don't know, what to say to you


When I lose my head

Don't hear the words that come your way

Cause I never mean them

You never said

You care that much for what I think

So let me break it down for you


I believed you’d be the one

I’ve lost some faith along the way

A tender night, just us, alone

Always fades before your dreams, when you say


Is your 'Something More' without me?

Is your 'Something More' a lie?

Is your 'Something More' than this'

Another myth to move my mind

Is there something in not knowing?

Give me something I can say

Just to hold you in this moment

While I blow the mist away

Baring everything I'm feeling

Holding hurt without disguise 

I can't feel another smile

Start to shake from either side

Darling call me if you make it

So I'll know you finally tried 

Oh I'd love to see your face lit

By some fire in your eyes

Something More

silksong

蘿蔔絲 luóbosī—Carrot Shreds, was one of my nicknames. In a time of even more distance to the political tendencies in China, growing totalitarianism, new cult of personality, and saber rattling, you start to wonder what is left of your intercultural dreams. My blurry hopes and experiences got exorcised into shreds to dissolve in the full consciousness of my own stupidity. Moooncake-shaped piece with a wrapper—Beijing Opera from Hell—and a central song. It was directly inspired by artist Yan Jun (yanjun.bandcamp.com) and three performances I was part of in 2007, under the name of 馬恩列斯毛 (ma-en-lie-si-mao; Marx-Engels-Lenin-Stalin-Mao) or “More Less More” in Beijing.

Desert Cactus Tea

Alice was a rose, looked perfect in the light
Sharp around the edges, drew blood most nights
Clara was a daisy, too easy to pick
Tried to chain me up but couldn’t make it stick

June was ivy, climbing where she pleased
Wrapped around my heart and refused to leave
Sophie was a cactus, don’t get too close
Pricked my fingers with nothing to show

Every time I plant a seed
It grows into a mess 
I’ve picked a lot of flowers
But none have passed the test
Must be a bad gardener 
Nothing seems to grow
Perhaps I need to find a flower
That isn’t just for show?

Hazel was lavender, soft and rare
Left her scent on every chair
Maya was a tulip, opened up too fast
Told me every secret but never asked

Fiona was a fern, lived best in shade
I gave her sun, she slipped away
Ruth was thistle, proud and coarse
Kicked like a mule, had no remorse

Every time I plant a seed
It grows into a mess 
I’ve picked a lot of flowers
But none have passed the test
Must be a bad gardener 
Nothing seems to grow
Perhaps I need to find a flower
That isn’t just for show?

Bad Gardener

The clock spins round its weary face
Time's a thief we can't replace
Will you still love me when the lights go low

When the mirror cracks and the colors fade
When the songs we sang start to feel homemade

Will you still love me when the stars forget to shine
Will you still hold me when the world leaves us behind
When the winds grow cold and the stories get old
Will you still love me
Still love me like you did tonight

The rain taps soft on the window's edge
A rhythm of doubt I can't escape
Will you still love me when the answers aren't clear

When the nights stretch long and the silence grows
When the fire burns low but the embers glow

Will you still love me when the stars forget to shine
Will you still hold me when the world leaves us behind
When the winds grow cold and the stories get old
Will you still love me
Still love me like you did tonight
