American 03:50
American (i’ll never be) I’ll never be, i’ll never be american I’ve tried so many times

Sadness is like a wave. Distant from the shore, but when it’s coming it comes in and takes everything My life, my mind, everything in the sand, until there is nothing left. My sadness is like a wave. Distant from the shore but when it is coming It takes everything. My life, my mind, in the sand, take it, (don’t you understand?) What is me ? I’m free, I’m free. Can i fly free ?

I’ve been water waves that evaporate To extinguish, flame. Ignite my pain. To live, and die again. To live, and die again. To live, and die again To live, and die again. To live, and die again. To live, and to die again.

Surrender 02:29
See my hands, they wave to surrender. Red, green, blue light (hand in mine) Red green blue light (hand in mine) Rewind time to… Rewind time to… Red, green, blue light Hand in mine Green blue light Hand Red green blue green blue light Light Surrendering Clarity Clarity

I used to sing to god. But he dont answer prayers I’d pray to shine like a star. Old man take me far. Fuck you for two 2 seconds on air. Oh whats this you dont even care now (don’t you?) That’s sure a different story from when i last saw ya. “You didn’t seen me” “You didn’t seen me” Didn’t you, old man? Didn’t you, big man ? Please free me from this verse Sold my soul for cheap lipstick A price i pay for hollowness Sold my sex for twenty cents The things i do they dont make sense. Oh free me from the curse.

Groomer 04:23
Is it true that your ex-girlfriend has the same disorder as me? And the other girl, i think, she has the same haircut as me? And I know, i’m just your type cause you tend to aim for early twenties. I don’t care what they say, you are my groomer baby. I don’t care what they say, you are my groomer baby I don’t care what they say, you are my groomer baby I don’t care what they say, just don’t go away. I don’t care what they say, you excite me, how you abuse me baby. I like being on display, i’ll be your poodle be my groomer baby.

I will clean my room for the last time I will complete my Suicide. I will clean my room for the last time. I will complete my Suicide. I will leave nothing behind. I’m not gonna leave nothing behind. I will clean my room for the last time I will complete my Suicide. I will clean my room for the last time. I will complete my Suicide. I will leave nothing behind. I’m not gonna leave nothing behind. I rose, in fact i’m good, i didnt miss out on meeting myself. I needed myself. Don’t come close to me I’m infectious

Ice skating 02:45
All sides of the globe. My life has been finding comfort within its own My life has no home Unraveling rattling snake; Ooh what’s this? Ooh, ooh, that feeling. I’m so quick to rush back in I’m so quick to rush back in. I’m so quick to rush back in. Ooh what’s this? Ooh, ooh, feeling. I’m such a fool, running back in. I’m such a fool, running in. I’m such a fool, running in.

Sleep now Past the park Outside treading Down. Broken light Broken light

Baby chickie 02:55
I thought you would call by now, you neglect me to the point that reality , it fails to hit me. I want to scream “come over and slap me already.” A chicken scratch, etching in me. Could you thrust into me, to kill the baby chickie? You ejaculated on my wrist, “ if that isn’t love then tell me what is it?” Paint me a portrait, paint me something pathetic. You ejaculated on my wrist, “ if that isn’t love then tell me what is it?” Could you thrust into me, to kill the baby chickie?
11.
Boards 02:39
When i got covid we stopped seeing each other in person was it then you started learning my presence is haunting , and in your case unwanted. Blowing on your window like the wind So set up your boards to keep me from coming in So set up your boards to keep me from coming in and like the wind, on your window like the wind. Don't let me in. Set up your boards to keep me from coming in. When i needed you more than ever Set up your boards to keep me from coming in. I am sobbing, as it is happening again. Just leave me completely. Just leave me completely. I can't help to see this wilting. So if youre distancing just leave completely

I was 16 when I went to the school library, instead of Spanish class. To down a water bottle of tequila with some pills I had. The hallway always suffocates me, I feel like a minnow swimming. The looks on their faces as you tumble down the stairs. Ashamed by the stares. Ashamed by the stares. Tumbling down the stairs. Ashamed by the stares. Tumbling down the stairs. The dean asked me if I gave anyone else this. I didn’t, what I wanted was the end.
13.
Do you remember asking me if you were in heaven, when you were losing consciousness? Or saying that I must have been an angel as I checked your vitals? Do you remember being shipped in from school on an ambulance? Do you remember the cost it gave your parents? Do you remember the look on mommy and daddy’s faces when they saw your cuts on your limbs? For the first time. Do you remember how you came back and cried? Do you remember what it was like to want to die ?

about

It was in January last year that I started to mess around in ableton.
Which means in about a month it will be about a year that I have spent making music.
Learning how to make music in a different way than how I was taught to make music became incredibly invasive, destructive, and reconstructive.
Reflecting to be in the headspace to create more authentically has been devastatingly emotional but cathartic, and it continues to unveil new truths and worlds.

I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to meet and interact with so many amazing people this year. I am incredibly lucky to be able to make really weird music and to show it to my friends who all continue to inspire me.

-Thank you, I love you, Kelly
