taste 02:54
am i really all the things that are outside of me? would i complete myself without the things i like around? does the music that i make play on my awkward face? do you appreciate the subtleties of tastebuds? my friend and me were having laughs in the living room, filled with arts and crafts he said "i like their clothes and their charming ways, "but what i really want is a simple place with no fashion clothes, "cuz you can't eat those." only ma'd pretend to like the clothes you showed to me something in my heart can tell me it's a weakness and maybe you'd have more luck playing those tasty games but me, i called and called and never heard from her again she's too good to share our favorite things i'll keep an open mind, if you'll let me in don't let your temper rise, don't get a bitter face try not to judge me on my kind of taste and don't go changing clothes when they don't like yours am i really all the things that are outside of me? am i really all the things that are outside of me? am i really all the things that are outside of me? am i really all the things that are outside of me? am i really all the things that are outside of me? am i really all the things that are outside of me? am i really all the things that are outside of me? am i really all the things that are outside of me?

the beast 04:45
crying in a cage, i thought that i might die alone a kind and gentle beast taught me to make the cage my home a ribbon on her neck was in a language i don't read i knew not where she came from, but i felt the love a child needs "this," she told me, "this is just a cage you built yourself." and in time i saw that i could just walk out without her help it was she who taught me how to manage on my own and mighty beast she said goodbye and stayed behind when i was grown god of kindness now i know just who you really are o, immortal one, your wisdom came here with you from afar i learned the sword and arcane tongue and now appreciate the journey that you took to teach me how to love and how to hate in the forest now, i felt surrounded there by ghosts but "fear," the beast did tell me, "fear can help one grow the most. "the scary things might hurt you, as you learned when you were young," she said, "but where you live, i'm sorry dear, you'll never see the sun." so i did sheath my sword and then approach the scary things and i found that some of them, as unexpected, weren't so mean some became my friends, more close than any i had known and with them i found peace and more than ever felt at home some days ago i knew that i must find the kindly beast no longer child, had to see her, and i knew where she would be the land in which she dwelt was full of monsters full of teeth and it took courage, i admit, to find the place where we would meet "you know," she said, "immortal, i can manage here alone, "but i love you and i'll fight for you, if you decide to bring me home."

busted 03:26
maybe i'll be drifting in a cloud along the information superhighway my heart is dead gone to progress it's like i said fuck resurrected through a program i don't really know who i am not even real it's ironic i'm addicted to it too maybe it's a way i'll always be with you it's a pity, what they do i'm alive, i'll see it through maybe i'll be living in a nice computer reaping bennies of the future if i sell my soul to this hellhole what can i do? shit resurrected through a program i don't really know who i am not even real it's ironic i'm addicted to it too maybe it's a way i'll always be with you it's a pity, what they do i'm alive, i'll see it through

i saw a light, blue and cold if i submit, will it heal my soul? it's all i've known, for so long laugh all you want, but it keeps me writing songs i saw a light, blue and cold (in the trees a gentle breeze blows down the sandy path that we chose we're so peaceful in the flowers let's go home and share a shower) it's a simple way of life it's a cozy place i can hide i grew up online you have yours and i have mine i'll shut it down when it's warm i'll be online until springtime sun is born

i dunno how you're feeling anymore it just seems like such a bore if i walk out of the door will you miss me, or will everything just be the same? i miss you i can't see you guess i'll write a song about it every day everything is just the same in the room we never leave if i say i can't do it anymore can you find that magic feeling from before i miss you i can't see you guess i'll write a song about it guess i'll write a song about it all i do is write songs about you i dunno how you're feeling anymore it just seems like such a bore if i walk out of the door will you miss me, or will everything just be the same? i miss you i can't see you guess i'll write a song about it every day everything is just the same in the room we never leave if i say i can't do it anymore can you find that magic feeling from before i miss you i can't see you guess i'll write a song about it guess i'll write a song about it all i do is write songs about you

about

NEO46

i had a pretty rough childhood, and almost every day i dreamt of what my life would be like when i was older. even in elementary school i think i understood time enough to know there was a version of me that already existed, who was living and loving a life outside of the tyranny of parents and the headache of homework. i was eating ice cream for dinner and sleeping in a big canopy bed with my three cats. incredibly, i was right on all accounts. when i wrote this album, i didn't have a theme in mind, and when it was finally finished, i couldn't think of anything that glued everything together. but when i looked more closely, i noticed so much of my recent work has been about acknowledging life for what it is and embracing growth. there is a version of me that still exists, who is dreaming of a life in which they can spend all day working on art, who is surviving abuse and undiagnosed disorders, who is looking to me for guidance and love. i wish i could reach out to them and comfort them. so here is my attempt. this is an album dedicated to little summer: you made it, and it was worth it.
