[orange] And I'm fine just to see that you're kind. So say I, in a circle of smiles. But are you hiding your will or was it never there? Is this a circuit of trials? And you poor thing, you coy thing. It's a calling. Gotta seem so good. Keep your eyes here, don't keep me biding my time. Would I need to begin again? Or would it leave me just the same? [thrsday] Aren't you due to come home? Don't you leave without saying. Aren't you due to come home soon? Don't you leave without saying. [orange] And I've let it all slip through my fingers. And you slip in a growl? Feel the fog grow thinner as it lingers. Half a mind on the prowl. Ignore the friction, down the mixture. Get the picture. You're the parasite. It's a minefield, don't keep me doubtful, alright... Would I need to begin again? Or would it leave me just the same? To absolve all my inner rights. To taunt like a spider bites. Don't ask why me. You don't know how to push these stones. Can't you see that the roots run deep? I have no words to console, nothing to help with, nothing at all. And I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you in the end. Oh, and it puts me outside. [thrsday] Aren't you due to come home? Don't you leave without saying. Aren't you due to come home soon? I want you to stop playing. Aren't you due to come home? Don't you leave without saying. Aren't you due to come home soon? I want you to stop playing.

[orange] I'll be the one so static. And it tugs on my mind, and it rips me to shreds. But the karma's so brash, is it worth a blunder? It’s why we feel so attached. I wanna live somewhere else. [keely] All this burden crush me like a weight. All I need is time and the devil’s luck and a turn of fate. What the hell is waiting for the end? Vilified, I dare not take my sight off what is mine. [orange] My body can breathe. Bit by bit, all the voices are gone. And I’ve wasting in time, but it’s not a bother. And I'm not in my prime. Tell me that I’ve missed the boat. [huub] Got one ring, call me Frodo Baggins, Call me up, I'll be There and Back Again, Nicknamed Smaug, cause I spit heat, Like a Hobbit, not small feet. They call me a cow but it doesn't matter now, I won't allow anything at all, anyhow. The fruits of my labour won't be the only flavour, I am the GOAT, they see my cheese is greater. He's silly sometimes but blessed with a brilliant brain, Bruce Wayne or Bane, who is to blame? Brainiac in B's, buzzing like bumblebees, break free from this freezer before my fingers freeze. Counterfeit coins because I'm corrupt, if it lands on 36 I'll fucking erupt. Lose it all again, don't even care, I'll be back next week with money to spare. Chara on the big wheel, Chara lost a big deal, Chara might have to steal, Only get a happy meal. Got a crest on my chest, feeling blessed but depressed, got me messed like a desk, should've guessed I'd congest, bit distressed, manifest, dispossessed by the rest, cooking eggs in a nest, so compressed, now attest, shoulda guessed on a quest, in a way, can't express how I feel I'm second best. [keely] But have I gone too far in all of this? Far too passive and meek in the face of fate, to the fate of us. Now I wake up wide-eyed in the bed, quivering. If I can’t feel your body are you even there? And it confines me like a ticker tape, like a bird circling a grave. Every moment spent burning under the sun is for naught. And everything you wanna see, you wanna be… is gonna walk out the door and leave you be. So why you kickin’ the dirt? Won’t you knock at the door? [orange] Has it got to be so hard or got to be so much? Has it got to be so hard or got to be so much? Has it got to be so hard or got to be so much? Has it got to be so hard or got to be so much?

Always at a blunt blade. Only if he's not brave. You've gone the right way. It's not a thought grenade. I’m so afraid now, I’m so afraid. Hombre, are you okay? Always on his damn phone, sleeping through the day alone. Problems that he weren't told pop up like a light bulb. Digital detox puts him in pain. I’m stuck in my last day. All he wants is change now, always want to pray. Always want to innovate. Took her to the back room. Now it is a bedroom. Breaking down methodically. Now I've got your sympathy. Staring at the skyline, waiting for the end. Wake up in a bad place. Broken brain and healed lungs. Tab under the shaking tongue. This superpowered human can count the milliseconds, then. Now you've got problems in oh so many ways, strangled by your DID. [It's] all you can think of, the drugs are gonna stay. What's up with your memory? You’ve got a good brain, stuck in a disdain, clutter with envy. I’m so glad he's not me. First he was a baby, now he's not the same, never what he used to be. Tells you on a soapbox, how your mind is filled with black rocks. You've gone the right way. It's not a thought grenade. First he's clairvoyant, now he's gone insane. Hombre, are you okay? Maw of the mountain, gull of a lake, I've still got a long way. First he's clairvoyant, now he's gone insane. Take a breath, its okay. Maw of the mountain, gull of a lake, I've still got a long way.

[ruby] Soon enough, the river’s end will be at my doorstep. Were we wrong, to fight the flow? To find a road to a new home and it tears me asunder. To walk the path on my own. Your life isn’t right, change it as it floats. Free as we wanna be, shamelessly sinking boats. Oh, are you feeling the tidal wave, on it’s way? And oh, you’re just a breath out of place. If I’m like a dog... I keep them warm, my children warm. And I die selflessly. If I’m my own... My children’s poor, my children’s poor. And we thrive helplessly. Don't look back, it's just a shadow. A heart attack was just a tremor. Your life isn’t right, change it as it goes. Free? I don’t wanna be. Shamelessly thinking slow. And oh, are you feeling the tidal wave on its way? And oh, you’re just a breath out of place. Don't look back, it's just a shadow. A heart attack was just a tremor. All my time, out of the window. Not a crime, feeling better? All my shame, live in a pigpen. Be the same as the rest of us. I can't bend to your doctrine. In the end, leave it all to rust.

about

From October 30th 2017:
An EP about my last year of high school (pardon the 🧀) and the feelings i got during it. While it started out as a senseless side-project, it worked out to be something quite meaningful to me in the end. I hope this doesn't affect my ATAR too much, and I also hope you enjoy it !

From December 25th 2018:
It's been more than a year since I released this EP. I have come a long, long way from the day I released it. I've been performing songs from the EP with a band, as well as creating my second major release under Orange Orange, and it all inspired me to remix and remaster these songs and release them beyond SoundCloud because I love these songs. I hope you still enjoy it because I certainly do!

OCD has been omitted from the release.
