folder brain 02:05
my mind's a filing cabinet where thoughts the come and they go devoid of meaning, haplessness because they have no home thoughts of people, friends, and joy left to fend alone amongst the tears, all of the sad in folders not their own folder brain the thoughts collide and coincide searching filled with hope that one day, they'll stow away before the become bones incoming, more paper thoughts looking for more homes blank unknowns blank paper tabs listing their residence paper plane folder brain the signs of fleeting emptiness thinness starts to show open mouths, tiny house reaching for paper hats

you came to me in a beige balloon caught in the tree outside my room i peek out my window you blocked the sun rain dripped from the gutter and flooded my bed i float down the stream from my room to the street my blue house bleeds it's colour surrounds me you came to me in a beige balloon caught in the tree outside my room you came to me in a beige balloon

taffy floating through syrup twisting and shouting licorice veins cream cheese and green beans kicking and screaming avocado brain oolong moon cheese waterfall crying at their loss they have smelly feet bananas are peeled skinless they squeal browning in the sun mayo honey river flowing thicker cream is bitter oolong shiver

moon view 02:45
system gyrate expansive view the earth will wait i see you too tectonic plate they move undo shattering slate volcano spew infinite chase we spin and race and float like squids through cosmic grids notice your smile please stay a while man on the moon come watch the view the vinyl turns like earth will yearn the butter churns like my heart in universe the lonely curse my mental purse has your name we'll reinstate atomic slate mountainous trait godzillas fate sputter gurgle ocean hurdle planet girdle the colour purple float in the breeze your hair is free fly by moonlight look so nice fresh ice cream cone there is no zone no gravity on moons of cheese the air is floating sun rise it's morning the sky is orange my feelings soaring moon view

big and grey 02:29
the elephants walk away elephants romp astray elegant trunk display big and grey clouds rolling in today fog is thick and heavy opposite of sunny big and grey there's no colour emotionless bummer i need sun this summer because i might just lose my mind as it goes astray gooey wet folded brain matter to learn its trained big and grey emotional disarray don't know if yea or nay far to unclear to say big and grey rainbows not out today leprechauns wilt away that's not cool but hey big and grey the castles are old they stay standing so long that they slowly erode away big and grey this kind of colour emotionless bummer i need sun this summer to move away from all this grey clouds every day i need escape because i might just lose my mind

when my baby calls reach for common mind you're gone long gone fragment further information breaking distance leading to a peeling gutting ripping tearing break up with him i found my heart in a hot breakdown baby mountains shade the moon lay down in my bed flip the meaning fear of bleeding coring boring hold your story leading to a peeling gutting ripping tearing break up with her i found my heart in a hot breakdown baby

space boy 02:29
i'm a boy in a car on his way to mars i won't make it far when i plummet back down could i get a smile from you fix my hair hold my hand keep me here on dry land i'll be right back don't kick me out of your mind glide on stardust loop the moon dive and whirl around imagining you beside me i'm far away now fix my hair laugh at me keep me here this song is corny i'll be right back don't kick me out of your mind

garbage boy 01:08
these are songs about indescribable feelings centralized around unknowing and helplessness. or is it a feeling of helplessness due to not knowing what said feelings are. is both a choice. if it's the latter is it a ladder that i want to climb. i know i am here but here is subjective to knowing the context and there is none.

i saw my hands peel away i saw my legs disintegrate i saw my hands and feet i saw my head between my knees lyrically in debt i'm sorry I forget we don't like your face where we're you raised "i was born to my sky the bay and rivers' eye" it's a lost glance like a tired simile i'll keep myself occupied while you're gone you have it planned for me if being tired's a means to an end than i can safely burn my bed found a gap within the view light emitted from the breakthrough lost sense of feeling and i fell through sped past memories of the old you psychic readings gave me no clue cosmic splendour is the new glue golden flowers pass the moon view floating's tricky it's my muse stars look different on the news
