the guest at the party says i look like dorian grey but i just feel like i’m wasting away i try not to think about it the very few sacred hours i have before the sun comes out down it in the spiral use me don't you think i wish i was somebody? am i supposed to live each day with intent? dirty air blowing past my face i’m a beautiful and depraved thing held together by the latest obsessions don’t forget we'll all be the animals in the end can i be somebody?
2.
in the night i hear you calling me from the other side of the room of the mirror i need love i need control i need it all to ease my soul stop sitting in the passenger seat and make me drive eyes glazed like a museum object the mona lisa's been seen before you can't reinvent the wheel just let it be fix your hair every day and i do the same don't you want it done don't you want it done? don't you want it better for yourself you can sample the hunger but i truly taste it everyday a fear fills a stomach the fear of perception don't you want it done don't you want it done? don't you want better for yourself you can stay in here for a while i can't see you smile i can't see you smile smile, smile, smile

The Last Day 02:43
i touched the sun and burnt my face off now i’m truly unrecognisable california, the peak of beauty with the others burns every year i saw it on the news i know you did too i always say it's gonna be the last day why do i feel like i’m not working fast enough? lashing away i got water from the stone my calloused hands in between it all am i a machine? black mouth like an oil spill someone’s got to clean that up are you taking responsibility? or will i have to make you see

Easy Peeler 04:21
ah i am born again with sixteen other people away from the city that i know free electricity domesticity why did i ever find it so hard for me to leave? aspiration for the ages devotion to euphoria devotion to the ones who brought us here nothing nothing to give to you free from corporate responsibility peeling back the layers to my old life who am i who am i who am i aspiration for the ages devotion to euphoria devotion to the ones who brought us here blood pact seal us together i'm gonna give it all to you

Monkey Brain 02:00
i need to exorcise this feeling from my body a continued moment of weakness a hole in the armour a solar eclipse of emotions so dramatic, so full i’ll melt in your hands if you wanted me to but also that’s not me deep thought fantasy fantasy gold chain above my head like a crucifix
6.
we need to shut some doors this isn’t a barn it’s fucking cold outside and the animals are watching you know if i told you the truth it'd cut too close to the bone guard your heart like it’s your finest possession and i hold all the keys only one way of living only one way to make it through didn't think that you could all touch inside my chest hold it in the embers of your hands guard your heart like it’s your finest possession and i hold all the keys i want it give it to me i want it no more ephiphanies
7.
i no longer have a plan time is not on my hands the border shimmering like a prize the rest of your life the rest of your life an uneasy simplicity and i'll never feel lonely i'll be writing my memoirs by the river tell all my friends that i'm a different woman free love isn't really free i'm the favourite so full of potential in the circle the best view of the sun i'll never be blinded and i'll never feel lonely i'll be writing my memoirs by the river tell all my friends that i'm a different woman

The Feast 05:12
the morning thrush the pulsing eyes trespassers from somewhere bright the sun is setting every minute every hour pink and yellow skies and the black in my eye calcium filled sticks and clinking plates it's a grand celebration everyone's here but not you but not you and they recount how they ran the fear in their throats how it felt to set the pace and how long it went on for the centre of it all raw and textured for our pleasure i have heart too whose is this? desensitised to it all if i can live another day protect me she said
9.
sorry you’ll no longer terrorise me i’ve found the meaning the target, aiming with my arrow deep in the hole i burrow i burrow like a rabbit and the man goes 0 to 100 living my life in fear i’m going to hold my breath gonna hold my breath just cause it stops doesn’t mean it won’t come again i will be leaving i will be leaving and the man goes 0 to 100

Bad Oyster 03:37
saw you in the glass of the department store like the holographic image swapped before have i finally been defeated the final battle of self versus self i don’t x3 i only wanna touch the earth blue and plump not the key, but the pearl in this park of dreams i’ve avoided the salty seas don’t think there’s a point in crawling on home to be written on to provide rest to be connected to something pure and at least now i have my hard exterior back without judgement

about

This is an album about a young professional falling deep deep deep into the tangle of meaning(less/ful) life and even deeper into something more insidious and coming out maybe as the final girl and into something less human but closer to the earth.

There are a few conflicts on this album. The slacker versus the ambitious, nature versus the city, the feminine vs the masculine, nihilism versus optimism and probably the biggest one of all, the individual versus the group. After a few years of isolation, I dreamed of many things but the mystery of what it would be like to be a part of a group that had similar goals and free electricity (as I sing in “Easy Peeler”) really bugged me. And of course in true me style, what can go wrong? But I think conflict and maybe even consuming each other - in many ways - is in human nature.

The ambitious young professional versus the slacker is really just the two sides of the same coin. Sometimes it’s hard to explain to people how you feel. A fear of perception, the fear of rejection, the fear of love; and also the comfort of knowing yourself and the Power of Love all together wrapped into one big, messy piece.

Dreams are real. Listen to them.

Thank you to F for the spiritual encouragement and MM for always and forever believing in the pen as the sword, just like I believe in yours.
