Pacific, NW 03:11
walls open up around me back to the safety of the greenery the rain comes pouring down flowing through my hair and to the ground i've been dry, down and dry i've been missing that old world into a river, eyes shift to the sky a hill of green and gold Northwest The Island Calls Goodbye Dry Hello Grey Skies life is a crazy thing and i'd like to have the key stop twisting my bones stop it, stop it, i just need to follow the path the Path The path The Path Pacific Los Angeles Northwest The Moon

(Bob Ross) Bend the brush, make those little leaves and branches pop right out at you There he comes these little son of a guns hide in your brush, and you just have to push 'em out Eyeballs staring down the drain looking for something to find Falling deep into my mind Feeling tingles up my spine (chorus) The smell of paint turns me on So fresh, so fine The smell of paint turns me on Take a big whiff, give me some more treats and goodies on a plate they all look so tasty for me to eat yum so fresh, yum so fine what a surprise, they’re synthetic drugs (chorus) Seeing pink orbs in the air starting to fall, starting to stare throwing up on the kitchen floor getting back up, looking for more (chorus) Smells so good, smells so fine It opens up my one good eye To see the light, the truth inside The doors now open, can’t run and hide (chorus) (Bob Ross) sometimes you learn more from mistakes than you do from trying so hard so anytime, anytime you make a mistake, before you get upset with it, look at it sometimes little mistakes, turn into be the best learning devices we have

Tiger 04:24
The tiger He destroyed his cage Yes YES The tiger is out (Nael, Age 6) We move forwards without a sound Forwards deep into the ground But that’s where we once were and will be when the sun is gone Hair we’re loosing, plants the field a thousand offspring we won’t know Grey, grey, grey, grey Do we see, how far we’ll be When the world takes hold Join us in the heat tent It’s nice and warm Full of hair so full of hair Hair everywhere Hair everywhere!! (chorus - x2) I wanna dress as a real ass tiger skip that furry shit, I wanna be a tiger eat some meat, tear apart the earth by the time we’re done, everything will be gone tiger impersonation (growling noises) No matter who i’ve tried to be It’s always turned its back on me my bones filled with anxiety on this rock, a tiny flea (bruhbruhbruhbruh) There’s someone there waiting for you Ready to tear you in two deep inside your heart, No two are apart It’s up to you, to take the world and pin it by it’s heels It’s okay to be what you wanna be as long as you’re not a creep Why won’t you accept my tiger obligations I just wanna dress as a tiger and not have financial problems I just wanna eat my breakfast I just wanna eat my neighbor I just wanna be noticed in this godforsaken wasteland (chorus - outro)

/bās kat/ 03:23
We’ve come this far so why doesn’t it feel like enough Don’t come to my doorstep begging for candy I don’t have any We feel like piles of lead Look at all i’ve done How much is gone, and out of the way My world is a couple of names I give myself the blame The sun begins to rise, heralding the coming of a new day It shines over the crisp, snowy peaks of the distant mountain range casting the light in a mixture of dark shadows and enveloping warmth The small men that live in other’s vans on the mountain don’t seem to mind the sun, despite their affinity for the indoors. They step out into the light, basking in the warmth, watching a small bee land on one’s finger and nibble at his cuticle. This offends the man. Now the bees are gone. The men start to paint the mountain, coating it in a smelly, viscous shade of red the light shines perfectly, blinding the eyes of the tigers, which leave small, red paw prints as they run back up the sides of the rocky cliff and will go hungry for another day. The moon sits, solitary, in the sky It captures all light, surrounding itself in a glowing aura, like a black hole watching down and casting its soft, turquoise shine across the mountainside, and the little men that live within They look up to the night sky and wonder what else is up there? past the limits of our sky, what else can exist? Will the earth subsequently collapse, foreshadowing the coming of a higher species? Of some power bigger than us? Is there a God? Is he, she, or It prepared for whats to come of the human race? The oceans, the moon, the sky, the land will tell the small men of their fate. What they really deserve in their tiny hellscape of their own creation. What’s left to do? The “bass cat” is a rare scientific phenomena not much is known yet, by our community but the hard work we’ve already invested won’t let us give up now. Ladies and gentlemen, never let anxiousness regarding unknown territories or vast worlds of knowledge yet explored hold you back. The time to act is now.
