E - F# (unbarred)
...and I swear, I don’t really care
I say, you don’t even need to tell me goodbye.
Be scared, I get lost in my hair.
You know, you don’t even need to tell me goodbye.
...feeling so lost I could die...!

C
Honestly in my defense
I’m not a fan of arguments.
Am
I have better things to do
C
I won’t waste my time on you
I have Tumblrized myself
you worry about my mental health
Am
some elitist astronaut
G
singing in a parking lot?
and the world keeps turning and
I’ll hold on and
I’ll move on without you
and with all my friends and
with my whole family
we’ll move on without you
don't waste my time
get out of my way
just for today
just go away!
No, it's not smart to mock the state
they have pictures of your face
and their fans know where we live
Quats, you’re gonna get us all killed!
and otherkin are too complex
it is a phase I will regret
at least that’s what you’re telling me
I bet you have somewhere better to be?
C
I’ve been left behind for the final time
C
buried deep below in a park somewhere you’ll never find
Am
forgotten long ago by all that used to know my name
G
people walk my grave each day unlabeled and unpaved
F
and in the dirt I’m happy
G
that I lived my life at all
Am
even if it was short and sad
G
at least it was a life I had
and in the dirt I’m hoping
that you live a happy life
with someone who can hold you close
until it's time to find your hole
C
and die

G#
In the distant void, there's a cute girl-boy
C#
with a pair of headphones and a sexy voice
Through my telescope I'm watching you wander
through the Kuiper belt and into my computer
D# - C#
Babe don't be scared
the cosmic ballet goes on undeterred
and you will still make it okay
all this gets easier with each passing day
G# - C#
Makemake light, you shine so bright
D# - C#
behind you is an intimate being
G# -F#
I saw someone in that moment of focus
B - C#
a darker body, your comfy shadow
and MK2, I love you too!
(...)I hope you stick around for the credits
Someday you'll see it in your rear view mirror
You'll make it through it, there's nothing to it!
She struggles with her Kessler shell
the satellites plague her mental health
The others make her feel so helpless
Trapped, she feels alone and restless
Yeah she's got plans she's on a mission
save her friends and escape the system
very very far away in a better place
and I think she'll probably make it
if I can just get her to listen to this!

In The Wake Of My Decay
03:54
|
|

|
G
I think I need you
D
or the thought of you
Am
something left of you
C
to hold onto
I need to keep you
deep inside myself
because what you were
is a part of me
Your memory will fade
I save pictures of your face
and my mechanical brain
will forget you
just to save space
Hopefully you recognize
the person hiding inside this disguise
after what was left of me decays
this machine will remain
This machine will remain
and so I'd like to train
my eyes to know your face
my hands to know your space
This machine will contain
copies of my life
so precious as they fall away
in the wake of my decay
I think I love you
at least I think I do
not so sure it’s me
or just the algorithm
and I think that's fine
these thoughts will still be mine
and the machine I made
will still love you all the same
Your memory will fade
and I won’t know what to say
and my mechanical brain
will forget you just to save space
Hopefully you understand
I’ll do everything that I can
to keep what’s left of me alive
so our love will survive
Our love will survive!

Thought I'd Visit

3rdA (C)
Thought I'd visit
3rdE (G)
I've been driving your way
5thEm (Am)
Maybe I could hang out
3rdE (G)
and leave the next day?
Thought i'd drop by
give you a little hi,
and a kiss goodbye
saw you were lonely
F - G
Some days I think I'd like to stay
C G F
but then you look the other way
F G
and then I am alone again
C G
now i'm off before you can
and after all that we'd been through
I'd like to think I'm close to you
but if I'm always keeping time
then what's the point in stopping by?
Thought I'd visit
see your favorite restaurant
watch a movie with you
after dark
Thought we'd try it
try to hold each other's hands
say the things we say online
say it while we have the time
Some days I find I meet myself
in other people that I help
but then I start to walk away
and suddenly I'm back the way
I was
...and if I'm craving something more
I'll have to stick around

G
Haumea help me something’s wrong
hoping for you to prove me wrong
Am
Give me all your love I need you here
C
hoping for you to help me here
Haumea can you come online
lately I’m struggling with taking my time
tell me what you’d do if you were me
scared of commitment to what I could be
G
Am - C
I see you shining bright,
while down on earth I dim the lights
G
Am - C
and every passing day,
I see these lights and I, look away
It keeps consuming me, the apathy
I watch the stars go by and I know
I won’t survive forever
I start to scream at passersby, who cares!
but they don’t understand,
yea I don’t think they can
My fear of altitude
is concurrent with how hard I’ll hit the ground
With you I feel beyond it,
like my decaying orbit is not guaranteed
when you talk to me
G - D - Em - D
C - G - D
Someday I'll find
a way to survive.

G - C
All I can do is be better
or I could die but I don't think that's helpful
I still feel I have some potential
A - C
I still feel there's something that I'd like to see
I still feel there's something inside me
...
I can still feel them behind me
Now when I look in the mirror
the changes i made to become someone better
remind me of those who abused her
and suddenly all of it feels something shameful
suddenly all of it feels very bad
...
It's so sad!
At least I had her for a moment
at least we were something as quick as it ended
I'm glad that I found myself briefly
in someone so kind and so thoughtful adored me
someone I hope that some day will forgive me
...
maybe
I guess they just sit on my shelf now
with blank and the others who help me remember
the things that went wrong and the moments that lasted
the moments I cherished will always be with me
even in darkness I hold what they gave me
...
They saved me!
...
Quatral you need to calm down now
none of this happened and none of it's real
assuming the worst of a silent response
and reading too into it like an obsession
it's so self-destructive you're losing your mind
...
it's kind of bizarre and so hard to define!
it's good that you care if they like you
but why did you think that they'd end it so quickly?
and why'd you assume that from what they had said?
like, where did it come from, who did this to you?
who did you love that was that fucking cruel?
...
I don't know!

Pink Roses

5thE(A) - 5thEOnlymiddlefingy (Asus7)
Cherry blossoms haunt me in my daydreams
5thA (D) - 5thOpen
there’s something gay about it, something great about it
Cute Elodie Lilies in my bathtub
can’t feel clean without em, still I’m scared about em
Rhododendrons growing underneath my work-desk!
don’t see it very often, when I do I hear it talking to me:
Quats you’ve got pink roses on your mind
now that you’re surrounded can’t you tell it’s a sign?
every rose may have its thorns, but you can’t just walk away
you’re dreaming of pink roses everyday
5thE (A) - 5thAm (Dm)
Your mother’s hibiscus is staring you down
her orchids are crying cus you’re never around
but all this behavior is focused on you
there’s a flower inside you that’s trying to bloom
Quats you’ve got pink roses on your mind
now that you’ve got them are you going to try
to allow them to grow, all throughout your home
or will you let somebody cut them down?

G
So many of them wanna be so intimate with you
Am
Just what do you have that tempts them?
C
Could it be your kind attention?
I know you’re somewhat worried that you’ll never be enough
Can you fill their expectations?
Have you had that conversation yet?
Em - D
They see this creature on the internet
Am
they think it’s you
and I know you’d like to think it is
but is it true?
You can go and change your body with
a mask or two
C
but I think it just depends on if they
D
see the alien in you
So many of them love you
but it’s hard to keep them close
People change when they get near ya,
you get scared that they're a stranger to ya
So of course they get to know ya,
love the music that they show ya
and they listen to your heartbeat
but it might not be their favorite
They see you clawing at your wallet
and they stare at you
Someday they're gonna have to
do the same as you
and maybe they will listen
if you warn them early
but if they feel misled then
I have no clue what you're gonna do
If they're feeling disappointed
like you're something else
A person with a body and
poor mental health
If they struggle to perceive
what you would like to become
then I wouldn't put the effort in
to try and change yourself for them
...and if you're worried it'll falter
and the pink'll die
honey just get out there and
let everybody help it thrive!

Well this is an interesting split I bumped into whilst browsing bandcamp in a baffled semi-aware stupor - as I usually do. I'm glad I did though! The two artist's offerings here pack a lot of ideas and surprises into what are short wonky-electronica bons mots. I never imagined that I needed this music until I heard it, and now everything is at least 2 to 3% better because of it :3
