west coast kid
in a midwest world
don't care about gender
cos' i'm just a boy//girl
i'm tumblin' spiralin'
never in my feelings
an emotionless virgo
always caught daydreamin'
i'm dangerously optimistic
painfully logisitc
mediocrely artistic
hope i'm not egotistic
damn, it's that time of year again
it's virgo season baby
and i come alive again
i'm becoming a me
that i never thought i could be
and i'm going places
just wait and you will sure see
damn, it's my favorite time of year
virgo season's here

Kids on the Block
01:58
|

do you remember, you remember
being just another kid on the block
playing jump rope
and drawing your dreams out in chalk
on the sidewalk
we sit there and talk
friends forever
we'll always be together
if you want me to come over
all you gotta do is knock on my front door
home alone and bored
hiding money in your sock drawer
as if that's what it was meant for
going home
street lights come on to warn you
it's coming
a new trial that you'll go through
and i'm over it
rent and bills and petty jobs
i'm stuck here watching the clock
remembering all the kids on the block
all the kids on the block
all the kids on the block
can you remember, you remember
those summers spent by your poolside
melting ice cream
and all of that young pride
feeling like everything was alright
where has all that certainty gone?
and when our parents would yell at us
of course we would make a fuss
cry and scream
we'd be told not to make a scene
but as adults we act emotionless
stone cold
and full of stress
and i confess
i'm no stranger to this

Hell is a Game Show
01:53
|

|
you pray for it to go away
but it's here to stay
you started this game
now you have to play
hell is a game show
the devil is our host
contestant number two
(that's you)
what do you wanna do?
(c'mon choose)
you say it's not your fault
(boo hoo)
the devil knows the truth
hell is a game show
the devil is our host

Proud
01:52
|
|||
|
growing up in a place away
from where we are now
learning to live
in a new town
i know that must be hard on you
i know that was so hard on you
but you overcame your fears
at such a young age
and you blossomed so beautifully
comin' out of your cage
and i gotta say
whatever you do
i'm so proud of you
everyday you're brand new
and i'm so proud of you
proud of you, proud of you
kept your head held high
even in adversity
you're thinking out of this world
universally
even with so much uncertainty
just focus on your currently
if you're ever afraid
i'll be there right by your side
you're my little baby brother
you fill my heart up with pride
i will be your guide

Polycephaly

|
cold and calculated
uninterested and jaded
oh no
you see right through my thick skin
i see right through your fake grin
oh no
with everything that i do
i'm not better than you
i guess what they say is true
it takes two
inviting and friendly
kindness so deadly
i don't care what you do
you say i leave you feeling blue

i liked to play on my gameboy
before it was stolen
in a mall in san jose
a simple object
that brought me such joy
loved to play games
everyday everyday
i'm a game boy//girl
in a gaming world

Ibuprofen
01:50
|
|||
|
you're a headache to me
just can't let things be
got me filled with anxiety
so i'll take my medicine
ibuprofen
i need to calm down
ibuprofen
ooo you make my head spin round
ibuprofen
please don't make a sound
only care about yourself
expired friendship on the shelf
leaving for my mental health
and i take my medicine

Mixed Media
02:39
|
|||
|
i'm sorry
you're having trouble
trusting other people
i know you're guarded
but not everyone is evil
and i'm sorry
i'm not good at connecting
with people
disregard this
i'll save this in my drafts
stay tuned for the sequel
mixed kid
mixed feelings
mixed life
mixed media

Lost in Ambedo
02:22
|
|||
|
ticking of clocks
makes me anxious
our future
doesn't exist
i stay up late to feel like
i'm wasting less of my life
but you make me feel
guilty for being alive
you're selfish
until the very end
you're not listening
are you even my friend?
i'd save you from drowning
on your whim
but, alas
i can't swim
a new realization
you're just a frustration
i heal your wounds
but you won't heal mine
thought i needed you
but i can do just fine
clouds swirling in skies
trains passing you by
language of flowers
fast moving hours
raindrops on windows
lost in ambedo

REpersonalization
02:33
|
|||
|
right place
right time
the world
is mine
don't think that i don't care
because i do
they're so meaningful
my moments
spent with you
and i don't wanna be anyone else
i don't wanna be with anybody else
i don't wanna think like everyone else
i just wanna be myself
i'll cut off all my hair
i'll sleep in some more
nothing feels real
who am i?
i'm never sure
i don't feel like everyone else
i don't feel like everyone else
i don't feel like everyone else
but that's ok
cos' i'm myself
