Unicorn Teeth 03:12
lyrics

Everything is magical and mysterious too You just gotta leave your bed now See what this life can do Well it can tear you to pieces or it can bring you joy And if you're gonna give yourself to the world, you gotta be ready for it to take everything you have You just gotta be willing to be the universe's toy When everybody thinks that you're the bad guy, Everybody's recollection is suddenly faint If good comes to those who wait it out, that's not a saying I've been purposely waiting to taint Everybody knows that you're the murderer Everybody knows that you're no saint Everybody sees that you got the paintbrush But what's a painter without their paint? Well you can break under pressure as many times as you like You are not a single match now just to go on one strike Well you're a burning fire, so much heat to give But if you're gonna give yourself to the world, you gotta be ready for it to take everything you have (So long, Defeat) You just gotta be willing to be the Universe's toy When everybody thinks that you're the bad guy, Everybody's recollection is suddenly faint If good comes to those who wait it out, that's not a saying I've been purposely waiting to taint Everybody knows that you're the murderer Everybody knows that you're no saint Everybody sees that you got the paintbrush But what's a painter without their paint? Everybody sitting around expecting open hands Nobody going to meet you halfway only making demands This life is so much deeper than somebody's single plan Share dreams with me, babe Let's make them happen

Ambivalence 04:03
lyrics

I've got an eyeful and I don't even know your name You got me spinning in circles round and round my brain Who now wants an animal completely contained? Deep deep down, I know you feel the same Kisses sweetly blown out of proportion again Da da da da da da da da da da da (Ambivalence again...) A fruit dropped on your head and up and out flew those seeds I can take it with a grain of salt, but I know what it means It's another defect in the way everything should connect (Pale to the counterpart I gotta start another art and excersize the mind before it grows stale) And I listen to the calls of the wind "The story begets" Kisses sweetly blown out of proportion again Sweetly, sweetly, sweetly... Wash my soul wash it clean Wash my soul, Atlantic sea Wash my soul wash it clean Wash my soul in rounds of 3 Wash my soul wash it clean Wash my soul, Atlantic sea Wash my soul wash it clean Wash my soul in gasoline Forgive / Forget

Breakfast In Bed 03:14

Guess how long I've been staring into the sun? Long enough to make an egg well done But you are the frying pan that cracks me in the back of the head that hopefully takes me to a dream where I'm next to you in your bed again For you, I'll put aside my pride I don't want to be forgotten underneath this raging tide With you existing is easy, cept for now stop making me feel so Measly, lovely Measly, lovely Let me into your heart Let me into your head Let me be your breakfast in bed I'm gonna to make this easy as possible pie for you (yeah) I'm gonna to cut my face out of the picture in your mind and throw it to the wolves Can you see the tears welling up in my eyes like a glass about to crack? But no Band-Aid's gonna fix this glass Just drink me down Just drink me down quick... So I'm gone Don't have to explain me to anybody ever again Measly, lovely (Don't make me this) Measly, lovely (Don't make me that) Let me into your heart Let me into your head Let me be your breakfast in bed

Slow 02:40
lyrics

I dial your name on a rotary phone Nobody answers cause nobody's home for me These days no one talks to numbers unknown And if you could hear my voice, it's become rather slow Say good morning Say good afternoon Say goodnight Say things that make people pleasant Say things that make people happy Say what everyone else says You're in another dimension You're in another dimension You're in another dimension! You're sorry for all your mistakes Go to hell go to hell Time as thiccc as a waterfall made of honey Days become just what they are Old becomes new like the Sun and the Moon All things given life will die

Kiss The Yellow Light 05:01
lyrics
buy track
Rolling ice underneath From point A to B I feel uneasy, you sitting beside me Missing a clarity like I'm giving to charity But what would it take to make you see what's real and what's fake? I wait for the aura to fall down and burn to the ground! Did you give up on kissing the yellow light? And if I did would have I known if I was wrong or right? Did you give up on kissing the yellow light? and if you did, I'll just say good luck and good night (Awful Winter wind...) Don't throw away your only friend, Caution, to the wind I tried that shit before and let me tell you that I did not win But tell me how somebody else can never really hide from all the demons that walk down around the inside of your own hell oh well I know I tried... Did you give up on kissing the yellow light? And if I did would have I known if I was wrong or right? Did you give up on kissing the yellow light? and if you did, I'll just say good luck and good night (Save it, save it, save it, save it) Don't throw away your only friend, Caution, to the wind I tried that shit before and let me tell you that I did not win But tell me how somebody else can never really hide from all the demons that walk down around the inside of your own hell oh well I know I tried... Every risk that you thought you ever took is recorded somewhere on a disc that you will never see and I don't even care if mine ever breaks the light of day or not cause honestly, I don't need you to rub that nasty shit in my face, fam I'm sick of all the scams and propaganda that shows wherever I go Just want to breathe and know you'll be okay wherever you go In reality that's not my problem anymore Give it up and drop all the extra care through the empty empty hole in the floor

Universe, Please Be Kind Today 07:31
lyrics

"Think you could work with that?" "Yeah, check this out." "Dope. Dope..." We're running a race Meet you back at your place We'll talk and I'll show you what it means to be loved I see your face Speak in your pure grace We'll talk and I'll show you what it means to be loved It takes time to build your trust I'm sorry I lost you and I miss your soul in my life Hey... Universe, please be kind today I don't know my next move You made everything feel so right You made everything easy to adore Combing your hair in the middle of your war It's all I could have asked for I love the way that you melted in my hands And I love the way that I want what I can't have And once I'm done with my mental corruption, I'd love to let you speak without interruption (Enough enough enough is enough) (Enough enough more than enough) These memories are occupying too much of my brain space Got my thoughts going up and down and left and right Upon further inspection, in every direction you've laid Easter eggs in the foggy corners of my mind Each containing a kiss, if I had to pick a favorite, I couldn't... It takes time to build your trust I'm sorry I lost you and I miss your soul in my life Hey... Universe, please be kind today I don't know my next move I don't think that I know you I don't think that you know me Do you think I could love you? Do you think you could love me? We should give it a shot now... So shoot me down... There's nothing left to say to you.

about

"Toxic High" is the name of a preset in my recording software that I use. It makes noises that seem dull significantly sharper and brighter. This is a group of songs focused on loss, introspection, the beauty & cruelty of the Universe and forgiveness tied to sweet and somber grooves.
