You threw your hair down, baby
You were waving a flag
Your perpetual jet lag
Is such a drag now
So I rode in on a brilliant white steed
I'm gonna get to you
If it's the last thing that I do
I'm sorry, my dear
But you don't seem to understand
That every isolated maiden
Is in want of a man
Why else would you shout out loud
By letting your hair down?
So, I rode in on a brilliant white steed
I'm gonna get to you
If it's the last thing that I do
Yeah, I rode in on a brilliant white steed
I'm gonna get to you
If it's the last thing that I do
You'll be happy when we're through
I'm gonna keep on climbing up to you (x3)

Lyrics:
It can’t be happening already
Thought I had time enough to spend
Out in fields with flowers
Shooting shit with childhood friends
But suddenly the mist is fast approaching
And everyone is choking in the smog
Could it be evil crossing the horizon
(My god, what’s that?)
Oh, wait, no, it’s just clunky dialogue
(Phew!)
About how I’m the chosen so-and-so
Who’s meant to save the world
A kid who just turned seventeen
And hasn’t kissed a girl (yet!)
Well, thank you
No thank you
I’ve gotta say no way
Please make it some other hero’s journey
I’m fine with where I am
And where I am is fine
And who’s to say the villain won’t just give up, given time?
Well, perhaps I’m not your chosen one
You’ll have to look around
For someone far more danger prone
And blindly duty bound
So, thank you
But really, no thank you
To your batshit prophesy
Would you please make it some other hero’s journey
And before you say it's a “Refusal to Call” which is technically a component of the hero’s journey
I say: (door slam)

lyrics:
I slither up through your drain
Corrode all your dreams away
My pH is a negative hundred and eight
I’m a slime
Can’t take the bus anywhere
Everybody cowers in fear
And anyway I melt through the interior
I’m a slime
Though putrid and full of bones I may be (So many bones)
Why am I the subject of so much animosity
Even though I slither up through your drain
Corrode all your dreams away
My pH is a negative thousand and eight
I’m a slime
(And I just consumed a nuclear plant)
I grow at an astonishing rate
According to whatever I ate
Some people call it an endearing trait
I’m a slime
The saying’s wrong, it’s matter over mind every time
I’m a slime
Actually, I digest them both just fine
I’m a slime
Now it’s a negative million and nine
speaking of clarity, here's a song about anxiety with a water motif. it was commissioned by mysteryslug and, out of the blue (heh), they presented me with an animatic to go along with it, and i couldn't *not* share it with you all, because holy heck
they're awesome and this is awesome and i'm happy to have worked with them!
check out their website http://mysteryslug.com to see more of their work and give them some of that much deserved love. thanks a ton, ms!
hope you all enjoy it!
lyrics:
I’m a little weightless
Couldn’t see the fallout, I’m all out
Or was I mistaken
Hard to tell when no one is around
And have I been too silent, oh
The swallowing of bitter pills too long
It’s better that I know now
Better still that everyone is gone
But where do I go now
And where do I stand
And who am I supposed to be
I can’t tell if I’m doing it right
But what’s the right way in the end
I’m a little shapeless
Filed all my edges down
Can’t cut you now
Who I was has faded
But who I am is waiting to be found
And I have been too gutless, oh
Too scared to tell you what I feel inside
Too scared to be a bother
It’s so much easier to run and hide
But where do I go now
And where do I stand
And who am I supposed to be
I can’t tell if I’m doing it right
But what’s the right way in the end
Is it in my mind?
Or can you see it too?
Who can I trust to tell me the truth
The easiest way out
Is to dive down
Into the blue
But where do I go now
And where do I stand
And who am I supposed to be
I can’t tell if I’m doing it right
But what’s the right way in the end
But where do I go now
And where do I stand
And who am I supposed to be
I can’t tell if I’m doing it right
But what’s the right way in the end
But what’s the right way in the end
But what’s the right way in the end

lyrics:
I can be what you need
If you’re free
Take a seat
I’m your wild thing
When you breathe
Over me
You can see
All my seams
Are unraveling
The low light
From last night
The wrong ride
But you’re still rocking me steady
I’m ready
I’m ready for the big slide down
I’m ready
I’m ready for the big slide
Make a sound
Make it loud
Make me proud
Like the town’s
Going up in flames
Or run me down
Here and now
You’re allowed
Make me shout
Like an enemy
The low light
From last night
The wrong ride
But you’re still rocking me steady
I’m ready
I’m ready for the big slide down
I’m ready
I’m ready for the big slide
I made an animated comic. And also voiced it.
Well, now you do.

I was commissioned to write a song from the perspective of an isolated character, and here's what I came up with. Hope you enjoy!
I wanted to do a few more edits but the stem file got corrupted. Glad at least this made it out.
Lyrics:
Staring from the window
To the people down below
I used to be one of them
Not too long ago
All the ants
Hurry by
To the ends of their lives
What a funny way to go
Staring from windows
Staring from the window
To another rainy day
Everything's different now
Everything is gray
All the ants
Trickle by
To a new touch of light
What a sunny way to go
Staring from windows
Staring from windows
I had the grand opportunity of working with the Flipcartoons Team on a song about and from the perspective of the protagonist of their new comic, [The] World is Mine!
Writing and recording it was a lot of fun and if you enjoy this song, I hope you'll go and take a look at the comic itself. From just the prologue, I was very interested in seeing where it goes. Check out their website if you'd like to see more: worldisminecomic.com
And here's the comic itself, starting at the prologue: webtoons.com/en/challenge/the-world-is-mine/prologue-part-1/viewer?title_no=718643&episode_no=1
A synopsis of the comic: In the land of Krossadia, there exist artifacts; magic items that grant powers ranging from telekinesis to immortality to their Wielders. When an 800 rotations-old World Treaty is broken, the land falls into chaos with villains and heroes alike seeking the power of the artifacts for themselves. Muffin is one such villain who seeks to declare “the world is mine”.
The stellar cover was created by Rebeca “Muffin” David - @rebecadavid on Twitter
Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!
Lyrics:
You say the world is a mess
And I’m inclined to agree
Oh, but let me just give an alternative
What if it belonged to me?
I don’t claim to be the best
When it’s so plain to see
Cause I’ve already found two artifacts
Wait until I’ve found three
It’s a simple approach
You will or you won’t
And I always do
So if I step on a crack
Or take it all back
Well, don’t be confused
Maybe I’m evil
Maybe there’s not a single sweet bone in the whole of my body
Maybe I’m bad
And maybe I’m glad
That when you look at me
You see someone naughty and so rude
I can be cruel, just you wait
While I wait for you to make the first mistake
Slip up and show me the way that you feel
So, maybe I’m evil
Along the Sapphire Coast
And up the Starlight Hills
People quake in their boots
As they give me loot
So in fear of all my skills
They never guess from the start
Hoping that I’d be so very soft
But I’m different in ways you’ve never seen
A Cinnamon Roll I am not
It’s a simple appeal
You bow or you kneel
It matters not which
And anyone who’d decline
Or step out of line
Need only know this
Maybe I’m evil
Maybe there’s not a single sweet bone in the whole of my body
Maybe I’m bad
And maybe I’m glad
That when you look at me
You see someone naughty and so rude
I can be cruel, just you wait
While I wait for you to make the first mistake
Slip up and show me the way that you feel
So, maybe I’m evil
Maybe I’m the villain of the show
Who put the poison apples in the water supply
And sure, nobody needs to know
But if they don’t then what’s the point in my even trying?
Maybe the rumors are true
And I’m just no good at all
Maybe I’m a snake
Maybe I’m a fake
Maybe I don’t have a single fatal flaw
Maybe I’m evil
Maybe there’s not a single sweet bone in the whole of my body
Maybe I’m bad
And maybe I’m glad
That when you look at me
You see someone naughty and so very, very rude
I can be cruel, just you wait
While I wait for you to make the first mistake
Slip up and show me the way that you feel
So, I can tie you to the tracks of a railroad
You won’t be sure if it’s all just a joke though
Maybe I’m evil

Lyrics:
I’m the firewater
You’re the only one for me
Swallow me and spit me out
But tell me not to leave
And I believe it
I believe it
And I believe it
Got up and left right when you needed me most
Tell me you crave me, then let me go
What could be worse than a lost love but the ghost
I could let you in and
I could let you out again
But if you let me in then
What can I do about it?
Say it’s over with
But you always come around
To down just a little bit more
Of me now
I’m the firewater
You’re the one who can’t decide
If one little kiss is worth the risk
Of ruining your night
And you say: that’s the way it goes
Oh, you say: that’s the way it goes
Stages that we place to retrace our
History again and again and again
Cycles and sights full of things we regret
I could let you in and
I could let you out again
But if you let me in then
What can I do about it?
Say it’s over with
But you always come around
To down just a little bit more
Of me now
I’m the firewater
You’re the only one for me
Swallow me and spit me out
But tell me not to leave
And I believe it
I believe it
And I believe it
(Got up and left right when you needed me most
Tell me you crave me, then let me go
What could be worse than a lost love but the ghost)
I’m the firewater
You’re the one who can’t decide
If one little kiss is worth the risk
Of ruining your night
And you say: that’s the way it goes
Oh, you say: that’s the way it goes
(Got up and left right when you needed me most
Tell me you crave me, then let me go
What could be worse than a lost love but the ghost / Stages that we place to retrace our
History again and again and again
Cycles and sights full of things we regret)
I’m the firewater
You’re the only one for me
(And I believe it)
Swallow me and spit me out
But tell me not to leave
(And I believe it)
I'm the firewater
You're the one who can't decide
(And I believe it)
If one little kiss is worth the risk of ruining your night
And I believe it
I believe it (x ∞)
If you haven't noticed, I don't do covers anymore--and Please, be a cool kid, and don't request them in the comments--but this felt like an appropriate exception, given the importance of the song, my history covering Rebecca Sugar's music, and its ukulele-based instrumentation--though lbr Rebecca Sugar's uke skills are 👌
Anyway, hope you enjoy and thanks for sticking around!

I was commissioned a while back to write a song about a "mushroom king" and given free reign from there, and what a fun concept that turned out to be! Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing and recording it!

Lyrics:
Everyone says that I’m a fun-guy
The swellest guy around
That’s why I’m so universally liked
Everyone adores me here
And if they don’t, they disappear
So like a dream, they vanish in the night
Whenever I address the people
They grovel at my feet
Hoping gold will trickle down from my robes
When the harvest starts to slump
I simply bump the taxes up
And he who doesn’t sink is bound to float
All the silly movements that have tried to overthrow
With claims that I am not the rightful king
The rumors people make up can be mean
Where not a hint of truth is seen
I am the king of the mushrooms (badabadoobabadabedabow)
And all the forest is my kingdom
So you’d better come pledge to me now
They give to me their praises
To stay in my good graces
And if you’re wise, you’ll do it, too
Here in the kingdom of mushrooms
I’ve got it planned; the whole expansion
Down to the nth degree
Past the woodlands that we currently claim
Sure, the people living there
Will each one be caught unawares
But “Progress waits for no one,” as they say
Every attempted coup d'etat
Meets with a grisly end
Really what did anybody expect
But nepotism for my spores
To honor those who came before
By choosing from my line who’s ruling next
All the silly movements that have tried to overthrow
With claims that I am not the rightful king
The rumors people make up can be mean
How lucky I’m no spiteful king
I am the king of the mushrooms (badabadoobabadabedabow)
And all the forest is my kingdom
So you’d better come pledge to me now
They give to me their praises
To stay in my good graces
And if you’re wise, you’ll do it, too
Here in the kingdom of mushrooms
Where everybody knows how great I am
A pile of mold that’s shaped just like a man
But they buy it every one
They’re wrapped around my thumb
Wait until they see the breadth of what I’ve done
I may be the king of mushrooms
But think of me as a friend
The kind you never cross
Or you’ll never see the light of day again
It’s not all doom and gloom
In my mycelium
But if you’re in my reach, you’ll bend
I am the king of the mushrooms (badabadoobabadabedabow)
And all the forest is my kingdom
So you’d better come pledge to me now
I give to me my praises
And all your cheers are wasted
‘Cause no one loves me like I do
Here in the kingdom of mushrooms
Without further ado, here's the first single from the new EP I've been working on. Was inspired by stories of people shortening or outright changing their names to be deemed more 'palatable.' Well, that's bunk! Hope you enjoy the song!
Lyrics:
You want easy
Yeah, you wanna break me down into pieces
Something digestible
‘Cause your plate is full
And I can’t take too much room
That’d be criminal
You want basic
Wouldn’t you like me just a little more shapeless?
Simple to comprehend
Oh, but to what end?
If I let you strip me down
You’ll just start again
Oh, I know your game by now
Gonna say it out loud
I’m not boiling it down
Making it easier for you to figure out
Over the simplifying
Maybe I’d be your baby
If you’d turn it around
I’m not boiling it down
For your amusement
You’ve gotta use it
Not gonna change my mind for you
I’m not boiling it down
Think you’re clever
That you’ll always be the one
To know better
Spare me the lesson please
Cause you’re less than pleasing
To hear list all the things you think are wrong with me
Undivided
Either take me as I am or I’m running right out of your life
Can’t you see that there’s no way I’m gonna be
Anything less than totally me
And if you keep trying to dilute me
Honey, you’re begging to lose me
I’m not boiling it down
Making it easier for you to figure out
Over the simplifying
Maybe I’d be your baby
If you’d turn it around
I’m not boiling it down
For your amusement
You’ve gotta use it
Not gonna change my mind for you
I’m not boiling it down
All so I make sense to you and now
I see what you are all about
And if it’s too much for you
Ooh, I understand
But you missed out
You won’t do it again
This is the bittersweet end
I’m not boiling it down
Making it easier for you to figure out
Over the simplifying
Maybe I’d be your baby
If you’d turn it around
I’m not boiling it down
For your amusement
You’ve gotta use it
Not gonna change my mind for you
I’m not boiling it down x2
I’m sorry I’ve been gone for a while, but I’ve got new music on the way, and I can’t wait to share it with you!
In the meantime, here’s a little tune I threw together one evening as a reminder that I indeed exist still!
Hope you all are doing well, and thanks for sticking around :)
Lyrics:
This is my wedding song to you
I hope you stay happy forever
I hope every year just gets better and better
This is my wedding song to you
Something old and borrowed
New and blue
I don't know if you know (or have your notification bell turned on) but I have a new song out! It's from the perspective of a weathered pirate recounting the myth of a ferocious mythological pirate captain who is also something of a lady's woman
Hope you check it out and enjoy!
I was commissioned by my friend, @DavidALudwig, to write a song about Elementia, the setting of his upcoming series, #CatsThePajamas, and its protagonist, Cat!
I got to beta the first installment of Cat's The Pajamas and guys, I can't wait for the rest of you to check it out! Action, adventure, magic, a big, loveable cast of characters, and sailing on the open seas! What more can you ask for? Did I mention there are sapphic mermaids??
Go follow David and keep a look out for his insights and updates on the world of Elementia!

Lyrics:
They say she treads the seas like you might a valley
Like the rise and fall of waves were just for show
The captain of a ship of lore
With a crew composed of stolen souls
What a fearsome force she forged
They say she can appear anywhere and everywhere
Like a wisp that wanders in and out of time
They say she hails from down below
Where the air is thick and nothing grows
What the wild things call their home
In the glow of the great northern moon
When the tides disagree
She brings the wind to its knees
Quick to seize enemies once they wail
The Captain of the Night Ship, she sails
Yo-ee oh-ee oh ho ho x2
The Night Ship, she sails
Yo ho ho!
Yo-ee oh-ee oh ho ho x2
The Captain of the Night Ship, she sails
And through all of Terre Reine, people know the rumors
From the brothels to the highest castle spire
The sight of prey is good enough
At the Brink, you would be better off
Where the demons look their part
They say she wields a blade as long as the horizon
That can slice the Sword and Sailing Sands in twain
Who gives her foes a running start
So they’re tastier when torn apart
Though it’s said she’s got a heart
But who knows where she keeps the thing locked?
Is it hope? Is it greed?
They appeal when they plead
When the sea starts to bleed, you can tell
The Captain of the Night Ship, she sails
Yo-ee oh-ee oh ho ho x2
The Night Ship, she sails
Yo ho ho!
Yo-ee oh-ee oh ho ho x2
The Captain of the Night Ship, she sails
Into waters never charted
Leaving maidens brokenhearted
And buried treasures buried no more
She glides across the Devil’s Reef
Over glass of black and shards for teeth
Knowing bravely that no navy can derail
The Captain of the Night Ship, she sails
Yo-ee oh-ee oh ho ho x2
The Night Ship, she sails
Yo ho ho!
Yo-ee oh-ee oh ho ho x2
The Captain of the Night Ship, she sails
Yo-ee oh-ee oh ho ho x2
The Night Ship, she sails
Yo ho ho!
Yo-ee oh-ee oh ho ho x2
The Captain of the Night Ship, she sails

Lyrics:
Oh, be quiet, little man
You've already lost your soul
Oh, be quiet, little man
The world is bigger than you'll ever know
Little man
Don't worry for a future that you won't own
Little man
I was commissioned to write a song for a couple's anniversary. Thanks for the commission, Embereyes!

Lyrics:
You were the right one
Here at the right time
Like a little miracle of mine
There’s no two ways about it
I had made my waves, but now I leave it to the ocean
So now I’m giving it up
And letting you in
And giving it up, up, up
I was a riddle
Opened a little
But you made me want to tell it all
And I can’t get around it
Look me in the eyes
And tell me all the words unspoken
So now I’m giving it up
And letting you in
And giving it up, up, up
And so you’re giving it up
And letting me in
And giving it up, up, up
You are the tree where my love is grown x4
You were a comic
I was ironic
But we made the maybe into more than I might have imagined
I could count on one hand the days when I don’t miss you
You thought that love was enough
For filling your lungs
That love was enou-ou-ough
I was a comet
You were a rocket
And we spun around each other, stuck in our own kind of orbit
You’re a constant face in every memory that I flip through
You thought that love was enough
For filling your lungs
That love was enou-ou-ough
I thought that love was enough
For filling my lungs
And I guess it wa-a-as
You are the tree where my love is grown x4
You are the sun where I circulate
And I turn my chemicals around
Where I form a self that is complete
From the pieces I pick off the ground
Even if the path is clear
I think about the things I fear
But I don’t wanna let you go
You are the tree where my love is grown x∞
I was commissioned to write a song and I kinda like how it came out. Lemme know what you think! Thanks so much for commissioning me, CRYOgenicide!
I hope you're all doing well and staying safe and entertained! :3c

Lyrics:
Have you heard the tale of the Buffalo Woman?
Standing seven feet tall
A dagger in each hand
And a bow across her back
And stronger than nearly any man
She stomped through the hills
And through battlefields
And loved or mowed everything she saw
So, pray for the soldier who dares to stand to her
And the life that surely was lost
She has taken on armies alone
Tackled bulwarks and brought them to dust
Only pay she requests is your gratitude
Doesn’t want to fight back, but she must
Oh-oh-oh-oh, Heed The Buffalo
Oh-oh-oh-oh, Heed The Buffalo
A mountain on the march
Was the Buffalo Woman
Over the land and the sea
A thousand kings had reigned
And a thousand moons had waned
But none were as powerful as she
She stomped through the vale
And through rain and hail
And sought to end every wrong in sight
Sewed life into the wreckage
Of the towns razed to ashes
Then left in the cover of night
She has tangled with brigands and curs
Every pirate of note knows her name
To the pure and the kind, she’s a paragon
And to anyone else, be afraid
Oh-oh-oh-oh, Heed The Buffalo
Oh-oh-oh-oh, Heed The Buffalo
And the wisdom she imparts
And the tyrants that she culls
Songs amass and the centuries pass
As she watches kingdoms fall
Doo doo-doo-dooo
Doo doo dooo doo-doo-dooo
Doo doo dooo doo-doo-dooo
Doo-doo dooo dooo dooo
Oh-oh-oh-oh, Heed The Buffalo
Oh-oh-oh-oh, Heed The Buffalo

Lyrics:
You say you want blood
And you say want chaos
And you wish the man who broke your heart'd
Make like a star and self-destruct
But you say you're not angry
Not anymore
Now when they aim for your heart
They're just bangin' on the floor
The river flows black
And the walls are leaking
But the breaking point for you and him
Was how he never let you speak
Or the way that he told you
You were the one
Fabricated prettily
And then took off in a run
And the fire's unending below
But it's better the hell that you know
From the way that they hide
There's a devil inside
You can tell they want more
That's why I'm the red, I'm the red
I'm the red eye of the needle
I calcify and calibrate
And then destroy what you create
That's why I'm the red, I'm the red
I'm the red eye of the needle
You might forgive, might let him live
But I don't forget
You're on the right train
But there's no conductor
And the car is moving
But you're pretty sure you're sitting
Where you were
And the people are screaming
While standing still
Reading their papers, shrugging off
How the war has made them feel
In the middle of town
Just past the crosses
Where everybody comes to pray
And say the things they never said
There's a little reminder
Etched out in stone
"Community Is Everything"
But you're better off alone
And the fire's unending below
But it's better the hell that you know
From the way that they hide
There's a devil inside
You can tell they want more
That's why I'm the red, I'm the red
I'm the red eye of the needle
I calcify and calibrate
And then destroy what you create
That's why I'm the red, I'm the red
I'm the red eye of the needle
You might forgive, might let him live
But I don't forget

Lyrics:
Now and then, I've lied
Made an alibi
But I've never met somebody just like you
To made me shudder
So, now I know
Nowhere to go, right?
Woo me like you do
And I'll tell the "truth"
And you'll think it is, but maybe I
Actually wanna tell you
So, now I know
Bound by the throat, right?
Where's the last train out?
You tell me there's just no way
No one, no one
I've been bleeding for you for weeks now
But you never change
Thought I saw a rainbow in your pocket
That once was there, but now it seems you've lost it
What am I supposed to do
When all the colors fade?
Thought I saw a rainbow in your pocket
But then I looked away and how it cost me
Was it ever there at all
And will we find a way?
Giving us a break
That was my mistake
Now you're coupled up and I can't help
That my eyes are burning
Saw you tonight
Thought up a new fight
Swore you knew me well
Each and every self
Or I'm not the only liar and you're tired
And sick of yearning
You nearly cried
That was a rare sight
Where's the last train out?
You tell me there's just no way
No one, no one
I've been bleeding for you for weeks now
But you never change
Thought I saw a rainbow in your pocket
That once was there, but now it seems you've lost it
What am I supposed to do
When all the colors fade?
Thought I saw a rainbow in your pocket
But then I looked away and how it cost me
Was it ever there at all
And will we find a way?
