~~~ SECTION A: LYRICS ~~~

Little blue rosemary laying on the sea
Down swoops a magpie with gentle esprit
Her beak acts the cradle and picks up the bloom
And gives it the whole world to see

Exit the night, and enter the day
The flower sits calm in the nest where it stays
But at some point, you learn the strength to turn the page
It takes the wind’s hand, and travels away

Dear, I know I’m not perfect
And, you know, neither are you
So make me a promise, and don’t ever forget
“I’ll do everything I can do”

I love you with all my heart
Though you’ll be on your own soon
I won’t be by your side forever
But my love will still be with you

Little blue parasol twirling in the field
She’s prancing about in her veil and gown teal
And from up above, a magpie observes
The rosemary perched on her ear

“Ma, I have to go,
But I don’t want to leave you behind”
You cried in my arms as you’re squeezing my waist 
And I laughed, “You’ll be just fine”

Dear, I know I’m not perfect
And, you know, neither are you
So make me a promise, and don’t ever forget
“I’ll do everything I can do”

I love you with all my heart
Though you’ll be on your own soon
I won’t be by your side forever
But my love will still be with you

I love you with all my heart
Though you’ll be on your own soon
I won’t be by your side forever
But my love will still be with you

Haa, ha, haa
Haa, ha, haa
Haa, ha, haa
Haa, aah

And when life gets hard, just think of this song
Remember the days that we knew
You’re in my position, you’ve got to be strong
But know that I still love you

~~~ SECTION A: LYRICS ~~~

Lyn: Vince, dear, what do you say I get myself a new hat?
Vince: Oh, that sounds lovely, Lyn. Just be wary of that damned store down 42nd Street.
Lyn: Why, dear? What’s wrong with that store? I heard there’s a nice man there who sells the best hats in town!
Vince: Oh, no, darling, that’s where you’re wrong. He’s not just any man. He’s…

The Hat Man.

Lurking in an alleyway of Manhattan
A dim light seeps through the mist
Silent cries escape from within
The racks of hats that exist

Lyn: Dear, I just got this dazzling hat from that store!
Vince: NO, LYN! THAT’S NOT JUST A HAT! IT’S…

Possessed, possessed
The hats are possessed
By souls of those who lived far behind us

Hats!
The industry drove him mad
Hats!
They made him rather sad
An eternal pursuit of validation and acceptance
Society made him The Hat Man

Lyn: So what’s your name, Mr Hat?
hat: bob. my name’s bob.
(Wow, that is a basic fucking name)
Lyn: *cough, cough* Anyways, Bob, what happened to you?
bob: well…

so i was walkin’ down an alleyway one day at around 3 in the morning, when suddenly i see this crack-a-lackin’ store through this dense wall of fog.

i walk in and there’s this super tall guy wearin’ all black. black boots, black coat, black fedora, everythin’!

and I ask, “What's all this here black for? you attendin’ your wife’s funeral or somethin’?”

and he says, “𝕲𝖔𝖔𝖉 𝖘𝖎𝖗, 𝖏𝖚𝖘𝖙 𝖇𝖚𝖞 𝖆 𝖍𝖆𝖙. 𝕴'𝖛𝖊 𝖌𝖔𝖙 𝖆𝖑𝖑 𝖐𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖘! 𝖂𝖍𝖎𝖈𝖍 𝖔𝖓𝖊 𝖜𝖔𝖚𝖑𝖉 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖑𝖎𝖐𝖊?”

and i’m like, “no, man! your outfit! it’s despicable!”

now i think that must’ve irked him a lil’ bit, cuz’ next thing i knew…

(Parkinson's Guitar Solo)

どんどん怖く、一瞬の砂漠
(don don kowaku, isshunn no sabaku)

"Bang bang” the noise frightens, an instant glimpse of a desert

目隠しのTAXI突進してくる
(mekakushi no taxi tosshin shite kuru)

A blindfolded TAXI charges towards me

ねえ僕でいい? ねえ未来でいい?
(Nee boku de ii? nee mirai de ii?)

Hey, just me right? Hey, just my future right?

ねえどこえ連れていくの？
(nee doko e tsurete iku no?)

Hey, just where are you taking me?

君が手に、僕が手に、
(Kimi ga te ni, boku ga te ni,)

In your hand, in my hand,

些細な一瞬だ、 "全てを捨てて"　だろう？
(sasai na isshunn da, “subete wo suteru” darou?)

just for a moment, "throw it all away" right?

bob: mr hat man, please! I'm begging you! i have a mother to take care o- *CHOKING NOISES*

Hats!
The industry drove him mad
Hats!
They made him rather sad
An eternal pursuit of validation and acceptance
Society made him The Hat Man

The Hat Man grabs him by the throat and raises his pale, feeble body into the air.

Bob watches in ultimate horror as his skin folds into itself, his bones crunching beneath the pile of flesh that was once a man.

He has died, and now he has been reborn.

He has become a hat.

Living as a hat
Isn’t all that bad
For once in my life
I matter, I exist

The best days have been
Meeting Vince and Lyn
Finally serving purpose
In a wedding of her kin

But how could I forget
The death that made me live
To you, Mr. Hat Man
Is all the gratitude I can give

this song sucks ass we are so sorry
also this song was inspired by a dream i had one night where i brutally blow someone's head in with a hammer

~~~ SECTION A: LYRICS ~~~

Pam, pa-da pam
Pa-da pam
Pa-da pam

Some days ago, I had a dream
Starin’ down the barrel of a gun

They took my mom, they took my dad
I watched them drag their bodies across the floor
I heard the rifles fire in the living room
As I hid behind my bedroom door

Oh, the walls were stained a beautiful red
Splatters resembling rose petals
I couldn’t do anything but watch
As my parents ate the metal

I crawled my ass into the kitchen
Grabbed my dad’s ol’ rusty hammer
Them motherfuckers gettin’ a beatin’

I ran back to my room
Saw one of them facing the wall
He was scrolling through Instagram
And let me tell you, here’s what I did, y’all

I tapped him on the shoulder
And watched him turn around
Then kicked him in the face
Knocked some teeth to the ground

Well, now he knows I’m there
And he’s pleading for his life
So I make sure that he watches
As I bring it down

Ah, one blow from the top
One blow from the side
The blood oozes elegantly
Watched him as he cried

Turned the hammer around
Swung it into his skull
And I loved the cracking sound
That came from his empty hull

Mm, yeah
Mm, oh yeah

KILL YOURSELF (I don’t even know man)

pa
pada pap
pa
pada pap

Sure, I might’ve had some victims
Maybe 20, maybe more
But here’s the thing that you should know
May 15th, 2024

Mhm
Yeah

We wrote in this song in one day btws

Lyrics:
Among the crowd,
I saw your smile .
It took a while,
For me to look away.

Not gonna lie,
I wanna try.
Cause you’re my type,
You’ll be my perfect hype boy.

My heart is beating for you.
Every time you’re in my view.
Just let me hold your hand back.
Hear what I wanna say.

Hey,
I really, really like you.
Since that day,
When you tripped in the hallway.

Hey,
I really, really like you.
Oh, do you.
Feel the same way as I do?

Don’t wanna cry,
But why did I?
Just run away,
Before you gave your answer.

Not gonna lie,
I need to know,
What’s your reply,
So I will say it again.

Hey,
I really, really like you.
Since that day,
When you tripped in the hallway.

Hey,
I really, really like you.
Oh, do you,
Feel the same way as I do?

Oh baby, why you run away?
Leaving me right there by the bay.
I have some words I want to say!

Hey,
I really, really like you.
Since that day,
When we tripped in the hallway.

Hey,
I really, really like you.
Oh, shall we,
Start something new.

I really really like you

Verse 1:- 

I’m feeling some type of way

something doesn't feel the same

my heart’s being faster, its a disaster,

 there’s only one to blame

Its  you standing there, 

With your looks and your hair 

Its gonna be a problem, I need to solve’em,

 its not the time to care

Pre-Chorus-

Never been the type 

to catch the feels

to play the game, 

to fall in lo-ve

Never been the type

to risk the pain

to try again

to jump the plane 

So why?

Are my?

Thoughts about you?

Its hard

To think 

That im in love with you

Chorus-  

 So  what you think, when you see me  

walking cross the room , falling for you 

I know its not, easy to see

that you and me could be together

Its quite a stretch to make, but i don't mind 

Never one to start it but ,it'll be alight (yeah)

Verse 2 (Rap) 

Staying so far from love just to play safe

Never breaking the bubble, it a gone case

 When you want it, you dont got it

If you have it youll be hoppin

When you dont need it, it’ll around you

Moving into round 2, 

gonna be about you

always saying ‘i dont need love’   no thats not true

you’ve been holding your breath

you’ve been taking the steps 

But you’ve already found your way to the top of the stairs

 Pre-Chorus-

Never been the type 

to catch the feels

to play the game, 

to fall in lo-ve

Never been the type

to risk the pain

to try again

to jump the plane 

So why?

Are my?

Thoughts about you?

Its hard

To think 

That im in love with you

Chorus-  

 So  what you think, when you see me  

walking cross the room , falling for you 

I know its not, easy to see

that you and me could be together

Its quite a stretch to make, but i don't mind 

Never one to start it but ,it'll be alight (yeah)

Bridge: 

See it, want it, get it, throw it back

You got, me in, feelings, so bad

I just, wanna , tell you, how i feel

no point, in, trying to, conceal

I don’t know how, to get back my feet from the ground

But ill come around, yeah ill come around  yeah-e-yeah

Chorus-  

 So  what you think, when you see me  

walking cross the room , falling for you 

I know its not, easy to see

that you and me could be together

Its quite a stretch to make, but i don't mind 

Never one to start it but ,it'll be alight (yeah)

Lyrics:
You’ve been running round town, thinking you could get a piece
Chasing for a chance but now that’s running thin
Searching high and low, but there’s nowhere to go
You didnt listen when i said, when I said no 

It's not the season
For you to be dreamin
Get it in your head
Get it in your head
There’s no time for playing

You say you are not obsessed 
Something’s always got you pressed 
Look at my eyes, look at my eyes 
Got you talking like

Do di da de deh 
Do di Do di da de deh 
(x2)

Those lil games you play could barely keep me entertained 
Play with someone else, don't let those efforts go in vain

It's not the season
For you to be dreamin
Get it in your head
Get it in your head
There’s no time for playing

You say you are not obsessed 
Something’s always got you pressed 
Look at my eyes, look at my eyes 
Got you talking like

Do di da de deh 
Do di Do di da de deh 
(x2)

You’re wasting time
So go get a life
There’s so much more out there
That you can find 

Don’t give me reasons 
Cos you keep on teasing 
A life that I don't, I don't like

You say you are not obsessed 
Something’s always got you pressed 
Look at my eyes, look at my eyes 
Got you talking like

Do di da de deh 
Do di Do di da de deh 
(x2)

You’re wasting time
So go get a life
There’s so much more out there
That you can find

It's Not The Season

Lyrics:
Verse:
Wrapped around your finger 
It’s quite a stinger
The pain it still lingers
But something I'm tryna
figure,  
It’s a thinker  
that you think you're the master 
of this game we play together

Pre-Chorus 1:
There's something about you 
that makes me so confused,
don’t know what to say...

Like a moth drawn to a flame, if we told the the world, 
they’d call us insane!

Chorus 1:
Knock knock who’s at the door?
I shouldn’t be wanting more!
You're rotting me from deep inside, 
my head's spinning around and around!

Rap:
This game that we’re playing,
it’s dangerous, right?

But a little risk is fun,
when you’re doing it right!

There’s something about you, it makes me sick
There’s something about you that makes me break

Tearing out my hair, 
I’m in despair
When the world isn’t fair, 
it just don’t care 

In a life’s that dull,
only time can tell...

Pre-chorus 2: 
There’s something about you
that makes me so confused, 
don’t know what to say 

If we keep on trying to keep up with this, 
we'd be insane!

(Instrumental)

Chorus 2:
Knock knock who’s at the door?
I shouldn’t be wanting more!
You're rotting me from deep inside,
my head's spinning around and around!

(got me crazy, got me wild, got me turning Inside Out)

Chorus 3:
Knock knock who’s at the door?
I'm still wanting more!
You're rotting me so deep inside,
my head's spinning around and around!

[Verse 1]
Another day we fight,
With words we can’t take back
Nothing seems to go right
Our lives in a mess

I understand now that you
That you don’t really
Give a damn if I say goodbye for good

[Pre-Chorus]
It takes a lot of strength to cry
To hold it back, to say “I’m fine”
We can’t see eye to eye
I really wonder why

[Chorus]
But I’ll hold on
Make sure that you see me
Moving on from this family
And I’ll live on
Make sure that I am free
Though you have clipped my wings
I can finally breathe

[Verse 2]
Everytime I call you
You yell at me instead
Everytime I need you
You dissapear again

I understand now that you
That you don’t really
Give a damn or say the truth
Was I a tool for you tuo use?

[Pre-Chorus]
It takes a lot of strength to cry
To find the will to try and fight
But I won’t shed a tear tonight
For you

[Chorus]
But I’ll hold on
Make sure that you see me
Moving on from this family
And I’ll live on
With bittersweet memories
I’ll treasure with all of me

And I’ll move on (I’m holding on)
Make sure that you see me (I’m moving on)
Soaring with my clipped wings
And I’ll live on (I’m living on)
Embracing all of my flaws (I’ll treasure with all of me)
I’m finally breaking free

Was I the child you hoped I’d be?

I'll Hold On
