cryptid (mothman)

do you ever wonder why
i only show up in blurry photographs
why i feel i have to hide,
when others’ perceptions give me panic attacks
so when i am out i’m out behind trees
i’ll hide in the forest where i can be free
maybe to you it sounds a little strange
but maybe i can’t be
a supermodel skinny, kinda pretty girl
maybe i wanna be
a cryptid, maybe i don’t wanna exist in this world
when everyone’s comments turn into scars
when everyone lies and says be who you are
what if i wanna be a cryptid
maybe my ideal body is bigfoot's
do you think that i’d still hate my body
if i grew wings and disappeared into the sky
i don’t think anybody’s words would matter
when i could swoop down and kill them from 30 feet high
so when i feel sad i’ll screech in the night
confuse all my neighbors or give them a fright
then wonder why they think i’m a little strange
maybe i can’t be
a supermodel skinny, kinda pretty girl
maybe i wanna be
a cryptid, maybe i don’t wanna exist in this world
when everyone’s comments turn into scars
when everyone lies and says be who you are
what if i wanna be a cryptid
maybe my ideal body is mothman’s
lately i’ve been putting the cry in cryptid
wishing i could melt into swamps
beady red eyes can’t see beauty standards
and stealing someone’s skin would hide all my flaws
maybe i can’t be
a supermodel skinny kinda pretty girl
maybe i wanna be
a cryptid, maybe i don’t wanna exist in this world
when everyone’s comments turn into scars
when everyone lies and says be who you are
what if i wanna be a cryptid
maybe my ideal body is mothman’s

while we were in a forest, sitting on a tree
i was looking at her lips, wondering what it’d be
like to kiss her - why didn’t i kiss her
music playing in the background, all our favorite songs
the moment was so right, i felt like it’d be wrong
not to kiss her - so why didn’t i kiss her
why cant i just make a move
i know what i’m gonna do
i’ll grab her by her hands, look in her eyes
move in close to her, then realize
my palms are sweaty, i’m holding my breath
my mind’s unsteady and my cheeks have gone red
and i’ll pull away and later i'll ask why - why didn’t i kiss her
we were on a walk, wish i’d held her hand in mine
when i hear her laugh i think it can’t be such a crime just to kiss her
so why can’t i kiss her?
i guess i really like the way she sees the world
taking photos of her taking photos, wish she’d be my girl
so i could kiss her
i just wanna kiss her
but here i am, not making moves
i know what i am gonna do
i’ll grab her by her hands, look in her eyes
move in close to her, then realize
my palms are sweaty, i’m holding my breath
my mind’s unsteady and my cheeks have gone red
and i’ll pull away and later i'll ask why - why didn’t i kiss her
i’ll grab her by her hands, look in her eyes
move in close to her, a bit terrified
but my heart rate’s steady, my cheeks are still red
but we’re both ready for whats gonna come next
and i’ll ask if what i’m gonna do is fine
then maybe i’ll kiss her

three of swords

i’ll leave the call with you, do a tarot spread
but i already know what’s coming ahead
i feel that the cards don’t do much but confirm
my anxious attachment, how i’ll never learn
i feel myself grow unsure
but all of my love spells are yours
cus i’ve been reading my cards and they’re reading me back
keep getting the tower, keep feeling attacked
i’m asking the spirits how i can move on
cus the three of swords says that you’re already gone
i’m getting ghosted and talking to spirits
depending on witchcraft for divine interference
my pendulum tends to swing violently when i mention you
i look at the zodiac, wondering why
i missed the signs right in front of my eyes
why couldn’t you be my star like i wanted you to
i see my candles grow dim
my future won’t stop looking grim
cus i’ve been reading my cards and they’re reading me back
keep getting the tower, keep feeling attacked
i’m asking the spirits how i can move on
cus the three of swords says that you’re already gone
i’ll put all my cards away
i’m hoping the magic will stay
i’ll pray that the universe brings you back to me

ghost song (ooOoooOoo)
02:45
|

|
walking through gardens that i don’t remember
i’m passing through hallways i don’t understand
haunting a house that i’ve lived in for ages
my thousand-yard stare going straight through my hands
watch my limbs go clear
i’m becoming what i feared
in a year or two they’ll tell tales of my presence
a pair of red eyes, a chill so unpleasant
these days i feel like a face in the mist
trying to show the world i still exist
all of my friends are just passing right through me
i’m not being seen while i’m being watched
so i’ll mess with the temperature, hide in the shadows
i’ll shake all the windows and jiggle the locks
just want someone to see
the scary ass ghost i’d be
in a year or two they’ll tell tales of my presence
a pair of red eyes, a chill so unpleasant
these days i feel like a face in the mist
trying to show the world i still exist
do you hear me through all the radio static
can you see me through the window in the attic
do you hear me through all the radio static
can you see me through the window in the attic
in a year or two they’ll tell tales of my presence
a pair of red eyes, a chill so unpleasant
these days i feel like a face in the mist
trying to show myself i still exist

I can’t hide
I’ve tried to fight the way you make me feel alright
Trying not to get attached
‘Cause don’t know if we can last
Looking up at the starlit sky
You look so beautiful tonight
I get scared when i see your face
‘Cause I wonder if you’re gonna stay
Are you mine
Are you mine
I’m scared of the question
Scared of the answer
But I need to ask you if I don’t wanna get hurt
I can’t stop, I’m falling for you
How could I not with the things that you do
I can’t ignore the way that you smile
I get so obsessed
You’re always so bent on treating me well
You’re dressed in black and I’m in pastel
I can’t ignore the way that you love me
(Even though I’m a mess)
Looking into your moonlit eyes
You look so enchanting tonight
I get scared when I see your face
‘Cause I don’t know why you would ever stay
Are you mine?
Are you mine?
I’m scared of the question
I’m scared of the answer
But I need to ask you if I don’t wanna get hurt
Are you mine?
(Are you mine?)
(Ha)
You’re my everything but everything gets damaged
Why would you ever be with me if it wasn’t to your advantage
Love was lost and now it’s found
But how long are you gonna be around
(How long until you get tired of my shit?)
Feet touching feet
Dilated eyes
You’re all over me and you’re all mine
I’ll always be here so don’t go away
This scene in the dark is so wonderfully gay
’Cause you’re mine
You’re mine
I’ve asked the question,
I’ve gotten the answer
I’ll do my best so you don’t ever get hurt
Yeah

let's b goblins!

let's throw our phones into a swamp
we don't need social media when we're up to no good
let's learn the language of the frogs
we're going to need it when we're in their neighborhood
i think it's time we get away
dance under the moon, this fairy circle's where we'll stay
let's cause some trouble
lately i've felt as dead as the leaves stuck in my hair
lately i've felt the need to retreat into my lair
so we can steal some food and go hang out in my garden
i really need a break today so baby let's be goblins
let's disappear into the fog
we'll be mist but nobody is looking for us
we can make bridges out of logs
and try not to piss off the spirits in the forest
i think it's time we get away
feel the autumn breeze, this pile of leaves is where we'll stay
let's cause some trouble
lately i've felt as dead as the leaves stuck in my hair
lately i've felt the need to retreat into my lair
so we can steal some food and go hang out in my garden
i really need a break today so baby lets be goblins
you are like the smoothest skipping rock beside a stream
you're worth more than all my shinies, you're everything to me
wanna hoard all of your love as we escape into the woods
where we'll eat roots and mushrooms like real goblins should
i think it's time we get away
hide among the moss where we can watch the fairies play
lately i've felt as dead as the leaves stuck in my hair
lately i've felt the need to retreat into my lair
so we can steal some food and go hang out in my garden
i really need a break today so baby lets be goblins

addiction’s catching up
i know you’re not good for me
you combine so many drugs
you could teach me chemistry
i can smell smoke in your hair
while i tell you to take care (of yourself)
dark eye bags, i know you haven’t slept
baby, you’re just waiting for your red bull to take effect
i’m begging you to take me with you
but what are we running from?
i’m subscribed to all your issues
maybe i find the chaos fun
you say i shouldn’t worry about you
but have you eaten today?
i find your reassurances doubtful
but i’ll listen anyway
you hide behind a blue raspberry vape cloud
i know you’re just as sweet
i cant deny you’re hurting my lungs
but you feel like nicotine
addiction’s catching up
now you see i’m falling too
you’ve hit rock bottom, babe
and i’m sitting there with you
somehow your smoke had stained my hair
while i told you to take care of urself
dark eye bags, a pounding in my head
i’ve fallen in love with how u smell like cigarettes
i’m begging you to take me with you
but what are we running from?
i’m subscribed to all your issues
maybe i find the chaos fun
you say i shouldn’t worry about you
but have you eaten today?
i find your reassurances doubtful
but i’ll listen anyway
you hide behind a blue raspberry vape cloud
i know you’re just as sweet
i cant deny you’re hurting my lungs
but you feel like nicotine

underwater world

hey, thanks for checking in
but i think i’m alright
i just can’t sleep at night
i swear that’s all
sometimes i feel like i’m drowning
when my chest gets tight
and i can’t seem to fight
these waterfalls
and now i’m breathing all the water i tread
but i promise it’s all in my head
hey mom i’m doing fine
i’m just underwater
still your happy daughter
just like before
swimming in my mind
thinking how i oughta
get my snorkel on
and stop crying on the kitchen floor
i’m in over my head in the bathtub now
i cant hear a sound
that’s not my mind
wanna let the faucet run so maybe i can run with it
to somewhere where it’s not so loud
but it’s fine
and now i’m breathing all the water i tread
but i promise it’s all in my head
hey mom i’m doing fine
i’m just underwater
still your happy daughter
just like before
swimming in my mind
thinking how i oughta
get my snorkel on
and stop crying on the kitchen floor
being stuck in the water tends to drain me
when did my toes and fingers get so wrinkly?
don’t know how long i’ve been like this
but if i drowned, would i be missed?
i’ll just towel off and tell the world i’m good
