Full Circle
03:34
|

|
I watched all the dust that gathered in my guitar
Blocking the reflection of the dawning stars
There was no one to talk to, everyone was asleep
I’m listening to those bands you like to feel closer to your psyche
Measuring myself
With measuring tapes
Cutting my length
Into a cutting shape
Dad, can you help me
Fill out this bureaucracy?
The spiders crawl into my bedroom
Cause I let the window open
To let the fire exit
I knew I’d be back at square 1
But at least now I’m back full circle
Measuring myself
With measuring tapes
Cutting my length
Into a cutting shape
Dad, can you help me
Fill out this bureaucracy?
(X2)
Dad, can you help me
Fill out this bureaucracy?

Entitled
05:12

Bread crumbs marking my footsteps
The twigs told me not to make a sound
my shadow is sewed onto my dress
It won’t stop following me around
Ahhh
Ahhh
How entitled do you think you are
To spit those words out of your mouth
They pierce through like acid
Break my bones
How entitled are you
how?
The leaves apologised for taking up space
But the ground was always theirs to reclaim
Ahhh
Ahhh
How entitled do you think you are
To spit those words out of your mouth
They pierce through like acid
Break my bones
How entitled are you
how?
The hunter will never understand
The last time I hit the snow
As his ax dived through my hand
I heard his laughter grow
How entitled do you think you are
To spit those words out of your mouth
They pierce through like acid
Break my bones
How entitled are you
how?

Bold
02:16

I met myself for the first time today
I learned our essence within would never go away
Writing my manifesto on the wall
Of the airport bathroom stall
Bold of you
To assume
I’m keeping up
With your news
I bled
On your bed
I didn’t bother to change the sheets
The red
That I shed
Is the realest part of me
Bold of you
To assume
I’m keeping up
With your news

feelings are facts
01:54
|
|||
|
I’m sinking into your constructed oblivion
사라지는 모습, 다시 도라올수있가?
My life has been cut short
Because these changes
Will suffocate me more
I’m not your oven
I’m not a vessel to force your hate in
How will we agitate
When we’re all so sedated
We’re all so faded
My feelings are facts
I’m under attack
When I’m up for debate
Why can’t you accept that I don’t operate
Within the binary

Solitary Confinement
02:39
|
|||
|
You put my thoughts in solitary confinement
When I questioned why we all preferred the weekend
We’re fighting each other for scraps of privilege
When we could end it all, destroy the weekdays
You don’t have to make any money
To call yourself anything
We are part time workers and full time saboteurs
We should end it all, destroy the freeway
Cause it’s a lie
It was built on and through exploitation
To further your own one

The gardener and his wife
They told me to look around
I picked up my pocket knife
And cut through the concrete jungle
I’m never coming back
I’m never turning back
All I will do is attack this concrete jungle
The gardener and his wife
They told me to listen to the sounds
I picked up my pocket knife
And cut through the plastic jungle
I’ll be my own wife
I’ll be my own gardener
You’ll never feel my life
I’ll never feel yours either
I’m never coming back
I’m never turning back
To this concrete jungle

Anything
04:33
|

|
Have you come to the conclusion that there are no answers to control the chaos of the world
Might be a cruel simulation, or some kind of godly accident, there’s no way to know for sure
I’m giving in to provide for you
I’m not doing anything new
So don’t listen to anything that I have to say
Nothing means anything at the end of the day
What do I do with my thoughts
Feeling like I’m back at school
Scrolling through those apps
As if I were pacing back and forth
I don’t understand anything anymore
I don’t understand anything anymore
As if I ever did
As if I ever did
I’m giving in to provide for you
I’m not doing anything new
So don’t listen to anything that I have to say
Nothing means anything at the end of the day
Except for you
Except for you

Fabrics
04:18
|
|||
|
Banging your concussion against the wall
Hoping the stone bricks will give you answers
To make his carbon monoxide empire fall
Bruised knees, begging for this game to end faster
Our fabrics are made of what he classifies as sin
But we’re too strong to let the emperor win
Retreat has become to mean surrender
So I’m not going back in
I’m going to hold you, and kiss you
We sure know how to make the world spin
Bringing ingredients for the recipes
With transcendent eyes and lessons wise
We read the patterns in the chaos
We hear the whispers of truth that float beneath the lies
Our fabrics are made of what he classifies as sin
But we’re too strong to let the emperor win
Retreat has become to mean surrender
So I’m not going back in
I’m going to hold you, and kiss you
We sure know how to make the world spin
Thought you could light a mansion on fire
With the gay that sets us aflame
May burning him to the ground keep us warm
He cannot keep us tame
He cannot shove us back into our cage
Our fabrics are made of what he classifies as sin
But we’re too strong to let the emperor win
Retreat has become to mean surrender
So I’m not giving in
I’m going to hold you, and kiss you
We sure know how to make the world spin

Boundaries
04:17
|
|||
|
I’m always learning
I’ve learned so much
Sometimes it’s better to move on
Than keep in touch
With toxicity
I’m setting boundaries
All these expectations that we place on ourselves
Are bullshit and I pray for our mental health
Not by getting on my knees
But by building a community
By building resiliency
I’m setting boundaries
I’m learning to listen and dissolve
Entitlement as a TME
To stop being a tool for
Settler colonial white supremacy
Space and time
Don’t take it away
From others
I miss my sister so much
Even though I’m happy I got away
From an LGBTQIA2S+phobic household
But I miss speaking Korean with my mom everyday
I miss all the discussions I had with my dad
But now I get to live a life that I want
I get to be around you all, that’s all that I want
I’m always learning
I’ve learned so much
Sometimes it’s better to move on
Than keep in touch
With toxicity
I’m setting boundaries
