Track 1 01:22
I’ll let you have your way today Much to my disdain, ‘Cause I thrive on sunlight While you love the rain, And we could stand to understand Each other’s point of view Good luck with that We’ll turn our backs I’ll smile and say “fuck you!” Fuck you! I can’t look you in the eye If I did, I’d cry But I knew you’d see through My poor disguise So we could hold our breath And say “I’m sorry, I love you” Well fuck that, I can’t relax I’m gone I won’t come back I can’t go back!

Alien 02:14
Atashi wa nikko to yume no ko!!!! Shikashi, atashi wa nami mi tai!!!! All kids clamp on jump rope heartstrings Shaky fingers, sweaty-pink with play Three-eyed child, mild and smiling Likes to dance in a way that don’t seem okay But oooh, she’s growin’ up so strong Woooah, she’s so high on her throne You can’t hear the sounds of the ocean When you’re so damn high up in the clouds!!! Atashi wa nikko to yume no ko!!!! Shikashi, atashi wa nami mi tai!!!! Atashi wa nikko to yume no ko!!!! Shikashi, atashi wa nami mi tai!!!! Alien pastries; I want to eat them all! Show some restraint; NO ONE CAN EAT THEM ALL Adults cry when they can’t get what they want But I don’t cry when I can’t be what I’m not. 'Cause oooh, we are tied up in splendor Woooah, IS THAT SO BAD? Meet your maker, meet your contender; Meet who you are before you bloom. Giddily skip down rainbow road and see! I’ll let you tell me that art is my soul!!! Fucking up is a sweeter road ya see! There’s no such way to stay my soul!!!! DAAA DAAA NA NA NA NA NANANANA NA NA

There’s a blood-willow Dancin’ in all of our dreams I’m coming and I’m taking you with me I know you’ll come crawlin’, Skitter on next to me, baby Let me take your hand Oh truly, you’re not so cruel as them “half-girl”, they called me!!!.... Ooohh, no, no Not by... Not by you! I see you, You don’t see me t’ke t’ke t’ke….

Locusts 02:25
How’d they get so high? Shimmering lightning rainbows How’d they get so high? Locusts in the sky They’re tapping on my window… A storm nears, rumbling, Raindrops and see-through wings Seeking out a mate who sings Earth’s many eyes… How’d they get so high? Who are they really, the shadows filling the summer sky? How did they get so high? We’re locusts in the sky… They’re tapping on my windows… You’re tapping on my windows… A storm nears, rumbling, Raindrops and see-through wings Seeking out a mate who sings Earth’s many eyes Chitter chatter the world begins to shatter and you'll kiss me in the rain Chitter Chatter the world begins to shatter and I'll kiss your little brain

Birdgirl 01:31
I am a bird; Nothing is more delicate than little bones My voice, A shrill of souls- That you trapped in a tiny box I will scream And I will grow My talons sharp but you won’t know- I know You won’t know you won’t know you won’t know- oh! I SLEEP! I love you, you love me too...
