hey guys, this is a song i wrote about four years ago that i re mixed and redid the vocals of, im still super proud of this song and i hope u guys like it too :]

lyrics:

plastic eyes frozen stare
answer me i know you're there
why do i feel so far away
when you're just behind the veil we share

my plastic heart begins to beat
as i hear the blissful message beep
i wander in electric dreams
is there nothing this machine can't do

for with you
in my hand i'm not alone
in mechanical 
in mechanical love
for you're with me
everywhere i go
in mechanical
in mechanical love

wires run under my skin
loose connections burn within
my mechanics whir too fast
feeling numb the light is dim

the static glare will sear my soul
as machinery fills in the hole
and so the credits start to roll
it's amazing how you see right through me

for with you
in my hand i'm not alone
in mechanical 
in mechanical love
for you're with me
everywhere i go
in mechanical
in mechanical love

[instrumental]

for with you
in my hand i'm not alone
in mechanical 
in mechanical love
for you're with me
everywhere i go
in mechanical
in mechanical love

mechanical

lyrics:

Where do snails go during the day?
They’re probably somewhere playing video games
I’m sad they feel the need to go away
Go away

Where’s the chapel where the mantis pray?
The leaves grow green then fall away
In reddish shades that crumple under six long legs
Leading me along, the children sing a song
And I’d like to turn around
But I know I’m not that strong

I’m missing a house
That I’ve never called home
I’m missing a time that I’ve never known
I remember a tree, had a whole leaf of my own
But now we’re reaching spring
Was it just a dream? I don’t know

I don’t know
What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know?

They warn of snakes in search of prey
The stories scare me so I stay
At the chapel where the mantis pray
And every day
They lead me along
The children hum a hymn
And I’d like to run away
But to leave would be a sin

I’m missing a house
That I’ve never called home
I’m missing a time that I’ve never known
I remember a song, I sung along
But how did it go?
Well, now I’m reaching spring
Probably just a dream
I should let go

Six legs, tippy tappy toes
Climbing to the podium on Sunday
I was a tadpole at the time
So I don’t remember much
About what he had to say

Faces, beady little eyes
Larva always cries
Beetle does the same
Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain

Six legs, tippy tappy toes
Climbing to the podium on Sunday
I was a bunny (I was a kitten) at the time
So I don’t remember much
About what he had to say

Faces, beady little eyes
Larva always cries
Beetle does the same
Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain

Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain

Now it remains a dream
A distant memory that itches my brain

The Chapel

Lyrics:

Toeing a trench
In the mulch between
Your patch and mine
I stubbed myself on a treacherous thistle
And I cried out
If it were merely
A matter of a stray thorny bristle
A barrier screen could be laid
And I wouldn't miss you

We could go the distance
Were there more disease resistance
On your part
Nothing lasts forever
When you never
Let it start

Every day I pass this way
I expect to find you
Waiting for me
Beneath the branches
Of the buckeye tree
Waving a palmetto frond
Siphoning orange juice
With a barber pole-ish wand

Red horsechestnut?
Clever disguise
I, of course, guessed, but
Said you'd never naturalize

Species zag as seasons zig
Tough to keep plants in one place
Any chance they get, they diaspore
Or else transmutate
Traipsing looping garden paths
Chasing floodplain Tupelo
Tracing roots to Ponderosa
Tangling with a Strangler fig

Now in an old growth Bald-cypress stand
Knees locked in the strand swamp
Black- and yellow-crowned Night Herons
Abound in colonies
Conferring on me collective memory
My eyelids flutter
Orbits fill with water
Hemlock in my hammock
Limbs thrash, I spit and sputter
Alligator drags me under
Into the solution hole

To protect me from
Elements of fantasy
That thrive in shady reality
To offer respite from
The demands of gardening
To show me
Trees are just the fruit
Of an even bigger tree

Childhood - Honey VHS

a song about naivety and perception, and the crumbling foundations of the earth on which we may not stand on for much longer

lyrics:

we're on a family trip to seek out the edge of the world
we load up the car full of junk and set off down the road
head pressed against glass watching days quickly pass and grow old
not sure of the way but we'll get there some day i was told

do all the lights intertwine at the edge of the world
i tell my mummy i'm a lucky girl to be alive

we pull up the car and welcome the breeze in our hair
the sea laps the shore and seasons the condensing air
clouds swirl around and the rain patters down in despair
we looked for a sign but our hearts knew that no one was there

and the thunder erupts at the edge of the world
i wonder if i am the luckiest girl to be alive

we found small plastic shells and held them in our tiny hands
the sea bit my ankles and gifted me old rubber bands
rainbow reflections clung hard to my skin and remained
barnacles peeled into rockpools and drifted away

the kids disappeared from the edge of the world
perhaps they weren't coming home so i said my goodbyes

(can we play, far away, wish we were home now)

a feathered friend wore a ring round his neck
crashed in the sand and his wings were a wreck
i held his head and promised i was there
as he took his last breath of fresh air

my heart sinks into ash on the edge of the world
i don't believe i'm a lucky girl to be alive

i'm standing alone on the edge of the world
am i a lucky girl

edge of the world
