~~~

under the stars alone
its a lot like home
when the days are cold
could you tell who's close?

i wish i was close / i wish i was home

those at home
please dont get too old
when im all alone
who will call from home? / where is home?

In the midst of all that's been going on, we hope that this can console your weary hearts. 

In such trying times, we must continue to stand for what is just and fight for what is right. When darkness surrounds the road we tread, we must always remember that light will seep in to overcome it.

Moon Man - Amera ft. hotbitterwater (a Sammy Copley cover)

when you float, you can see
all around
don't look down

when you're down on your knees
and afraid, go look up

in the arms of the one that you love,
i hope that you breathe in all you want,
all you can, but don't drown

started markmuffins initially as a lofi/indie rock project back in 2018. i'd consider myself naive to whatever sonic landscapes i could've potentially dabbled on but i was happy with my former output/s. fast forward to today, where current events + thinking about the future of this project just drains me.

id like to consider this EP to be a short(?) farewell, to dabble on other sounds i'm interested in exploring. (pls look forward to them!)

recorded in the span of 6 months, a 'moodboard' of how i'd want this project to sound like.

paalam!

lyrics:
i'm not so fond of mondays
it's just the same thing, over and over again

what’s this ray of sun and its fleeting warmth?
i can hardly bend my knees, “who cares? stop keeping score”
i’ve been pining for days on end
memories don’t happen twice in this lull we’re all in

and i can't let go of the year i lost
i know i'm not alone who experienced loss in its different forms

why am i always on the losing end?
am i always bound for failure?
how can i choose to see what's good in all of this?
when nothing's gone my way 

and i can't let go of the year i lost
i know i'm not alone who experienced loss in its different forms

you know i won't let go of the year we've lost 
i've never felt so alone, and there's just too much loss 

i'm so tired

Not So Fond

just a short track, workinn on more songs right now though trust
i hjave no clue why i keep making "love" songs but whatever i guess

you rinse me of my calmness
you teach me how to act
surprised you're one to listen
'cause its rare for me to blush

you're deep inside
my heart where you play my harp
with threads of white
you edit & overwrite

my yard is greener than ever
when you mow it with your smile
and i wrote a sonnet for your weather
where you're eternally blowing out the leaves

i'm still awake
it's like half past three (oh no...)

08.

a sonnet for whomever listens

YUMBURGER

When will it matter?
Now that you're gone for good
In this certain moment
There isn't much 
that I 
could do
to bring you back

All the time we spent
walking round
the block
All the time we spent
lying on the couch
Together
with nothing to do

Ode To Dog

there is so much i can do
none can take me back to you
lately why is nothing as exciting
i could use a second helping
of the things my soul fed on before

dancing in my head last night
dreams of different ways to die
if a ghost is what i am to many
no one knows me like you know me
i exist to nobody but you

i exist for nobody but you

ghost
