Screwing In A Lightbulb - Everybody's worried about Owen

Dress Like A Pirate - stream -> https://linktr.ee/madilynmei

lyrics:

what if i woke up and decided
i wanna dress like a pirate

i’m pretty tired of folding clothes
every day down at target

well maybe someday ill sail the sea
glad i woke up to write this song
if it makes me enough money
i’ll be gone gone gone gone gone

don’t wanna spread any hate
or do much plunderin to ya
just wanna map that may or may not
lead me to buried moola

oh i blame it all on my dad
he’d always urge me to play along
makin movies in the backyard
oh my heart is too far gone

well maybe someday ill sail the sea
be the hero of my own tale
if i die before then maybe
i’ll reincarnate as a whale

where’s the green flag
where’s my go head
wanna do something
crazy before i’m dead
lotsa red flags
i’m ignoring them
don’t need a ship
guess a raft would be alright instead
just get me out of here
just get me out of here

one day i woke up and decided i wanna dress like a pirate
i’m pretty tired of folding clothes every day down at target

well maybe someday ill sail that sea
be the hero of my own life
if it makes me enough money
i’ll finally quit my 9-to-5

well just you watch ima sail that sea
glad i woke up to write this song
when it makes me enough money
ill be gone gone gone gone gone
gone gone gone gone gone
gone gone gone gone gone
gone gone gone gone gone

Lyrics:
Met you at the cemetery
We caught frogs and moths and beetles
We discussed our deepest fears
Yours are ghosts, mine is people

If I had a heart it’d beat right out my chest
Right now I think I
Have something to tell you
Just promise me one thing

I have something to tell you
Promise you won't scream

But would you be my friend
If I told you that I died years ago?
Would you be my friend if I never told a lie?
Some things hard to hear though

Would it be better if we didn’t?
If you never knew the truth of my existence?
Would you ever be friends with a ghost?

Saw you sitting on a gravestone
Crossing through on my way home
I said “hi” and you looked shocked

“Wait, you can see me?"

“Ah so it talks!"

Catching bugs and chasing toads

“They were frogs"

"What's the difference?"

I said I’m afraid of ghosts
You're afraid of our existence

Would you be my friend
If I told you that I died years ago?
Would you be my friend if I
Never told a lie?
Some things hard to hear though

Would it be better if we didn’t?
If you never knew the truth of my existence?
Would you ever be friends with a ghost?

I don't want you to know a single thing about me
But I wanna know all there's to know about you

I don't want you to know a single thing about me
But I wanna know all there's to know about you

Met you at the cemetery
We caught bugs and frogs and feelings

“Wait did i just say that? Sorry!”

“Yeah you should be!
We caught bugs and toads and feelings!”

I would be your friend
No matter dead or alive
Losing my mind going mad

I'll be around
Til the day that I die
You and I can’t forget
Don’t regret what we had

Would it be better if we never
Met each other, never stayed together?
Would you stick around with all that you know?

(Nice to meet you
Taking your time
I think I’m a sheep in wolf’s clothing
Time is fleeting
Knew I’d never grow old
Seasons change)

I don't want you to know a single thing about me
But I wanna know all there's to know about you

I don't want you to know a single thing about me
But I wanna know all there's to know about you

Lyrics:
Nice to meet you
I’m a cryptid
I don’t scare off many children
They just laugh it makes me livid
I’m not scary
Like I should be
Play with dolls when
No one’s looking

Dad is Bigfoot
Mom is Nessie
Can’t just say “I tried my best,” see
They're expecting so much more I
Couldn’t care less, but I still try
I’ll go hairless
Grow some more eyes

Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you

They see right through me
Can I blame them?
Till I scare ‘em, I stay nameless
Movies set the bar too high
I need a win before I die
I can’t begin to want to try
Yet I still do

Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you

At the naming ceremony
Everyone else, their lives were all forming
But maybe I’ll earn it

At the naming ceremony
(I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m…)
What if my parents loathe me? Disown me?
(Who am I? Oh, who do I think I am? Think I am?)
If I don't earn it

At the naming ceremony
(I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m…)
Should've been gifted, should've been perfect
(What’s my name?)
But I couldn't even learn it

At the naming ceremony
Nobody told me congratulations

I didn’t earn it
I don’t deserve it

Nice to meet you
I’m a cryptid
Chose my own name
Now I’m Mildred
It’s no “Mothman”
“Chupacabra”
But it’s mine and
I deserve it
It’s my name and
I deserve it
It's my own and
I deserve it

Cryptid

Lyrics:

Sparks fly 
Every time I
Identify a species I have
Hitherto never 
Seen in the field 
Seen in the feather 
Sparkbird 
Destiny drew us together 
Every smile line on my face 
Can be retraced 
Down to the split second 
Down to the split place 

Is it magical thinking 
Or is it magical realism 
Or is it neither here nor there? 
Every time I check my wrist 
It's another brand new freckle 
Past another brand new hair 
I'm growing up, up, up 
Against my will, will 
Will you finally resurrect 
The time I've killed? 
Will you finally resurrect 
The time I've killed, killed, killed? 

Sparks fly 
Every time I visit this park 
I envision the phantom 
Of a giddy little cartoon me 
Jittering on the electrifying
Cusp of discovery 
Before and after the storm 
All I wanted was to be seen
And to see

Some signs of a world still
Turning, turning, turning 
Some signs of a world still
Forming, forming, forming 
Rebirth of a dream still
Burning, burning, burning

Is it magical thinking 
Or is it magical realism 
Or is it neither here nor there? 
Every time I check my wrist 
It's another brand new freckle 
Past another brand new hair 
I'm growing up, up, up 
Against my will, will 
Will you finally resurrect 
The time I've killed? 
Will you finally resurrect 
The time I've killed, killed, killed?

Sparkbird

Modern pop-rock anthem about choosing calm over chaos — the singer admits he’s tired of fighting the world and just wants peace, even if it’s an illusion. A blend of wry humor and emotional honesty wrapped in guitars, thunderous drums, and soaring vocals.

LYRICS
(C)2025 Ggreg Snyder

[Verse 1]
The world’s on fire but I’m still scrolling, 
I can’t save it with a meme. 
My dreams feel small and bills keep growing,  
There's no time to chase the dream.  

[Pre-Chorus]
I tell myself it’s just the weather,
But thunder’s in my head.
I’m tired of truth or never,
I’ll take the calm instead.

[Chorus]
I’m taking the blue pill, yeah—
Fade the static, dim the light.
If comfort is illusion,
Then let me dream tonight.
Don’t wake me for the headlines,
Don’t sell me one more thrill—
I’ve had my fill of red ones,
I’m taking the blue pill.

[Verse 2]
I used to think I’d change the story, 
Be the lightning, not the ground.  
But the heroes burn and chase their glory,  
Then they vanish when they’re found. 

[Pre-Chorus]
So call me weak, call me lazy,
But peace is what I crave.
The ones who try go crazy,
Or end up in a grave.

[Chorus]
I’m taking the blue pill, yeah—
Let the chaos spin outside.
If nothing lasts forever,
At least I’ll enjoy the ride.
Don’t wake me for the outrage,
Don’t sell me one more thrill—
I’ve seen the cost of red ones,
I’m taking the blue pill.

[Bridge]
Why’s it only red or blue,
No shade for maybe, maybe-not?
Could there be a purple view—
A halfway truth, a softer shot?

[Final Chorus]
I’m taking the blue pill, yeah,
It’s easier to breathe.
If peace’s a sweet delusion,
Then let me make-believe.
Don’t wake me for the battle,
Let the dream stand still—
You fight your revolution,
I’m taking the blue pill.

[Outro]
Don't know if I can make it,
If the world won't chill.
Until it comes in teal,
I'm taking the blue pill.

Eddie Baby - Felix Hagan
