chill lofi beat to eat glass on a beach to

(lost) boy fantasies
can creep up on me
i know they’re tacky
but i want to see

walking through the snack aisle 
unholy thoughts take hold of me, i can’t stop
god looks left, i look right
thinking about all the sins that i might like.

look around i see the violence
coming through the scenes around us
spilling blood and snapping pictures
dancing to forget what’s happening

when the reaper comes to get me
i’ll reach out to go politely
life is built on bones and endings
death is just a second coming

my hot girl summer
is just a bummer
too emotional
lust will take its toll

that Wilde guy was right
we make this world hell
i will never die
as hard as i try

take a pill twice a day
to keep all my ever changing moods at bay
losing sight of what i like
nothing seems to look the same in dimming lights

look around i see the violence
coming through the scenes around us
spilling blood and snapping pictures
dancing to forget what’s happening

when the reaper comes to get me
i’ll reach out to go politely
life is built on bones and endings
death is just a second coming
it’s always the same
with a minor change
it’s always the same
with just a small change
it’s always the same
with a hint of change
it’s always the same
i can’t stand the change

Lost Boy Fantasies

I am a periphery
It’s all blurred now
Lock me in
Lose the key

I feel it inside
Like a buzzing hive
It’s real to me
You can’t see

Measured in weight
Invisible to you
It’s all heavy
Yet I’m floating

Turning Leaves is the first single from the dreamy bass/vocal EP "Sharpen" by Woozles. Sharpen is going to be released on February 10th via Deadplant Records. It was heavily inspired by World of Echo by Arthur Russell and mastered by Warren Hildebrand (of Foxes in Fiction). 

Lyrics:
It lingers
Singed fingers
Cold bodies
Melodies

Whispered moans
Soft hellos
Quick goodbyes
Stay awake

Watch the day
Feel the night
Lose myself
In mind’s eye

Comes a time
Pressed flowers
Turning leaves
Fields of green

Turning Leaves

These clothes are so heavy 
My eyes can’t focus on 
What I’m hearing is just 
An emptiness I can’t 

One foot then another 
Sway me again and again 
We’re trees taking root 
But I’m falling again 

I’m smashing my phone 
Then driving away 
And I’ll say I won’t be back 
But that’s in my nature 

The air tastes so bitter 
My thoughts smell like sulphur 
I can’t will myself to move 
I’m terrified and stupid 

Overconfidence will kill me 
I can’t walk the walk 
So I’ll just lie here with you 
And hope I don’t wither

My Nature

These hawks circle like 
A spinning toy top 
These vultures circle like 
The tick of a clock 

The water is cool like 
A frozen corpse 
The water is hot like 
Cherry Jell-O 

It all repeats with variation 
Your lips are my soft salvation 
It all repeats with variation 
Summer sun with no vacation 

Honey is sweet like 
Failing out of school 
Honey is yellow like 
Killer bees 

God is my witness like 
Daytime TV 
God is my killer like 
Unchecked anxiety 

It all repeats with variation 
Your lips are my soft salvation 
It all repeats with variation 
Summer sun with no vacation 

It all repeats with variation 
Your hips are my close relation 
It all repeats with variation 
Summer fun without vacation

Variation

Flavored Soul is the second single from the dreamy bass/vocal EP "Sharpen" by Woozles. Sharpen is going to be released on February 10th via Deadplant Records. It was heavily inspired by World of Echo by Arthur Russell and mastered by Warren Hildebrand (of Foxes in Fiction).

Lyrics:
If I ever get cancer of the blood 
And they drip chemicals in me 
I will take up chain smoking 
Like my grandfather did 

If I ever own a cute dog 
I will pet it with love and care 
And I’ll never let it die 
That would just be unfair 

This berry smoothie tastes like 
A piece of my flavored soul 
Effervescent and tumbling 
Through all of these neon lives 

If I ever can’t hold you again 
I will be as empty as my brain 
If I ever feel awake 
I will stop drinking coffee 

This berry smoothie tastes like 
A piece of my flavored soul 
Effervescent and tumbling 
Through all of these neon lives

Flavored Soul

A bass and vocal cover of the amazing song Green Light by Lorde.

Lorde - Green Light (Bass and Vocal Cover)

a subtle taste of grapes
lingering on a sunny day
getting lost in old tapes
falling back into my old ways
 
remembering how to be myself
latching onto everyone else
i’ve told too many people i’ve kissed
too many things and all too quick
 
i’ll see their face when i fall asleep
keep singing “only in dreams”
with every single coming day
i’m becoming more of a cliche
 
remembering how to be myself
latching onto everyone else
i’ve told too many people i’ve kissed
too many things and all too quick

Subtle

i accidentally made this beautiful song by Mutual Benefit sound like a wannabe alt-pop song?

listen to the original here! https://open.spotify.com/track/5PKyUFLEkSYFLgRuYfjRf1

Skipping Stones (Mutual Benefit Cover)

summer dusk and dust
still come just the same
taking their time to land
with lingering remains

the act of falling
as played by a grain of sand.
eventually will bury
the skin i now caress.

she is all of it (x4)

skin smells like damp clay
under perfume of the day
shape me to your bones
remind me i’m not alone

a mouse in the cupboard
rotting next to cookies
laminate floors unfolding
on this vintage of a morning

she is all of it (x4)

a rusted muffler echoes
as her tail-lights disappear.
but all i can hear is
the sound of sand hitting sand.

all of it

confession

hey! you!
i know you’re looking for somebody to idolize you
hey! you!
well here i am and there’s nothing i won’t do

hey! you!
just once i want to feel your hand reaching out for mine
hey! you!
it’s lonely always looking for a sign

oh i get so lost, oh i get so lost in you
the way you push me away
oh i feel so shot, you know i feel so shot
when there’s nothing left to say

oh we burned so hot, fuck we burned so hot
getting deeper every day 
am i left to rot, am i left to rot
is there a second act to play?

hey! you!
i hope you know how beautiful that i think you are
hey! you!
nobody’s made me laugh this hard by far

hey! you!
your smile melts away all of my fears and doubts
hey! you!
please tell me that you’ll stay for one more day

oh i get so lost, oh i get so lost in you
the way you hold me and sway
oh i feel so shot, you know i feel so shot
when there’s so much more to say

oh we burned so hot, fuck we burned so hot
getting warmer by the day 
am i left to rot, am i left to rot
of course not, we’re here to stay

hey! you!

eating Chinese food on the floor
in a house that isn't yours
a friend in the market is better
than a lover in the bed

you lose everything you hold,
so tie me to your belt with string.
when i'm trying to fall asleep
i hope i'm worth remembering.

but here we are in the grey
your favorite color as we lay
blue oil pastel on my chin
from your hands it begins

you lose everything you hold,
so tie me to your belt with string.
when i'm trying to fall asleep
i hope i'm worth remembering.

there's comfort in the uncomfortable
as our bones press into another
fingers on my hollow chest
remind me of the emptiness

you lose everything you hold,
so tie me to your belt with string.
when i'm trying to fall asleep
i hope i'm worth remembering.

tell me
that you’ll never
be able
to love me
you

never love

late night tv and those old scratchy sheets
mind is so hazy, but i just can’t sleep
hearing your breathing right there next to me
i finally feel something that’s close to free

a changing maple tree
leaves falling endlessly
she sees you
wants you

cycling endlessly
some things are meant to be
i feel you
just you

a heart tattooed on you by your best friend
all these moments that i can’t comprehend
you pull the shades up and let in the sun
in that light you’re golden, we’ve just begun

passions so warm and deep
emotions spiraling
we pass through
redo

i cannot claim to keep
a sense of anything
i want you
i do

pass thru

My hands are still red
Blood on the floor
I never saw it coming

Now I can’t watch you go
If only Jesus was real
He still wouldn’t save me

Trail of my blood in the snow
That’s how I want to go 
All the way from California
To the place I call home

Stared at the sunset
Watched memories
From both ends

Lay in the darkness
Trying just to breathe
Forget these awful things

Try not to kick and scream
No it’s all over
My hand is at my feet
Dark waves pull me under

Trail of my blood in the snow
That’s how I want to go 
All the way from California
To the place I call home

Home

trail of my blood

It lingers 
Singed fingers 
Cold bodies 
Melodies

Whispered moans 
Soft hellos 
Quick goodbyes 
Stay awake

Watch the day 
Feel the night 
Lose myself 
In mind’s eye

Comes a time 
Pressed flowers 
Turning leaves 
Fields of green

turning leaves

I'm exhausted from that game 
First you kissed me then we played 
For months on end it felt the same 
I'm still waiting for a change

I checked my smile at the door 
Of New Year's coming or before 
Though it is running to an end 
Too tired to even play pretend

All these years I've felt this way 
A hint of yearning with a dash of pain 
I used to dream my days away 
But I can't dream now, at any stage

I'm just restless and confused 
Sometimes I just want to be used 
My body's slowly sawn in two 
One for me and one for you

Every day I feel sublime 
Which sounds good as long as it rhymes 
Fuck these mountains I can't climb 
I'll just fall back into line

yearning

You have to stay here
These lines are fading
It’s what we can’t hear
That leaves us hanging

Do you write me into your songs?
Do you see me in the mirror?
Am I buried under your skin?
Peel it back and remember when?

It still is not clear
I’ll lay here waiting
You still are so dear
Why am I burning?

Do you write me into your songs?
Do you see me in the mirror?
Am I buried under your skin?
Peel it back and remember when?

Trying to forget
What you had meant
Clinging to false hopes
And what was left?

Now that I can see
The snow on the trees
Everything glistens

under your skin

you only care about me
when we’re walking in the black water, rising
i’ll take some time on my own
try to figure out what’s going on, riding

you come to me
it’s plain to see
just how you feel
i should’ve know the deal

i don’t know how to sleep
so i’ll drive a little faster, cruising
you’ll be covered in leaves
just trying to embrace this, dying

i come to you
what could i do?
maybe i knew
it all just can’t be true

we come to these
truths we can’t see
it’s how we feel
one day we’ll know the deal

the deal

If I ever get cancer of the blood 
And they drip chemicals in me 
I will take up chain smoking 
Like my grandfather did

If I ever own a cute dog 
I will pet it with love and care 
And I’ll never let it die 
That would just be unfair

This berry smoothie tastes like 
A piece of my flavored soul 
Effervescent and tumbling 
Through all of these neon lives

If I ever can’t hold you again 
I will be as empty as my brain 
If I ever feel awake 
I will stop drinking coffee

This berry smoothie tastes like 
A piece of my flavored soul 
Effervescent and tumbling 
Through all of these neon lives

flavored soul

i’ll come to you
in the garden, soaked right through
you once were true
now i’m slipping through so soon

say goodbye
summer days

i’ll comfort you
when the dirt is on your shoes
bones wet with dew
used to hold you when you were new

say goodbye
summer days

summer days

thoughts dive so deep when i float
through hours with you. when we reached
the hunting tower melted from heat

all i could hear were the swarms of bees
circling round the strawberries we breathed

at the reservoir you said
“it’s not like being here at all”
in the hazy sweet it made sense

so when we held hands between the trees
i could feel whales surface in my head

bzzz

thin lines
on these
faded nights
left me

feeling more than inhuman

steady hands
and those
shaky sights
leave me

shooting swans at a wedding

let them in, or let me fall
cut them loose, or lose it all

fallen wings
are a
dangerous thing
when you

pick the scabs off of god’s love

tv screens
and old
magazines
breeding

true love for false prophets

let them in, or let me fall
cut them loose, or lose it all

scabs

i crave something honest
like bodies in the leaves
decomposing at rapidly
different speeds. the gold

chain on my neck
draped across the corpse
of a red maple blade, fallen.
if i pressed my lips

to the soft dirt of this
cemetery scene, could i taste
the notes of each
soul drifting upwards?

cloying and coarse, but with
a smooth finish.

kissing ghosties

forget-me-not

trying not to see all the light in your eyes
hoping that you’ll find me another time
moving past the lows and i’m feeling so high
working on the ways i can heal in time

do you really want to go?
do you really want to see
all the ways in which my mind has betrayed me?

do you really want to know?
do you really want to be
all the meanings in my terrible poetry?

trying to decide if the feeling is right
hoping that i’m more than a fleeting smile
moving past the lows in the dark of the night
working on the ways i can heal in time

do you really want to go?
do you really want to see
all the ways in which my mind has betrayed me?

do you really want to know?
do you really want to be
all the meanings in my terrible poetry?

trying to survive all the feelings i hide
hoping that i’m strong enough this time
moving past the lows, god i want to get high
working on the ways i can heal in time

all your holy life
you’re waiting to get by
passing on the right
you’re waiting to get by

oh you don’t get it

all your vacant life
you’re failing just to try
crashing in the night
you’re failing just to try

oh you don’t get it

all yr holy life

we’re reciting these themes
i’m tearing out my seams
we’re staring at our screens
i’m rehearsing the scene

i’m just not in the mood
it’s not you, swear it’s true
i’ll live in solitude
it’s me, goddamn, not you

we’re saints’ ideas of sin
i’m stepping back again
we’re hanging out our skin
and i’m going where i’ve been

i’m just not in the mood
it’s not you, swear it’s true
i’ll live in solitude
it’s me, goddamn, not you

every single song i write’s the same
an ode to love, a joke, so lame.
when i said goodbye then “i don’t know”
i felt my ending change.

it’s living with a fog around my mind
that’s telling me these things aren’t right
i love you forever and i swear it’s true,
so how can i not feel it too?

i’m just not in the mood
it’s not you, swear it’s true
i’ll live in solitude
it’s me, goddamn, not you

it's me

we talk for hours all alone
like you said, “baby, this is better than death”
he sends a message on the phone
and it says, “honey you're my biggest break yet”

whoooooooooooooo???
who drew circles in the sand?
whooooooooooooo???
who climbed the tower full of bees?

she kicks her feet up on the dash
then she says, “nobody can live like that”
i kiss the lips of those i love
and i say, “god gives life out tit for tat”

whoooooooooooooooo???
who told them about what you planned?
whooooooooooooooo???
who signed the lines on my life’s lease?
