lyrics
Freeze all my visions, they say it comes in threes
Shatter ore into perfect symmetry
and we'll bury the paragon under snow
When I go you don't have to follow
Buried in sand
a pearl, a still hologram
You're holding my heart in your hands
I'm negative space
Opaque and coming in waves
as I swim through the shape of your name
Everywhere that I go feels like I've been
here before as my shadow or my twin
Lay around with my past selves talking shit
When they forget my name I like it
Buried in sand
a pearl, a still hologram
You're holding my heart in your hands
I'm negative space
Opaque and coming in waves
as I swim through the shape of your name
Can't win and can't lose
Searching in corners and clues
My heaven fades in the clearest of blue
I know if I stay
I'll hold my breath passing graves
and get dizzy from the games that we play
Time is pulling down
the corners of my mouth
One eye on the sky every day and night
One eye on the sky that I can't recognize
One eye on the sky almost all the time
One eye on the sky that I can't recognize
Every day and night
Buried in sand
a pearl, a still hologram
You're holding my heart in your hands
I'm negative space
Opaque and coming in waves
as I swim through the shape of your name
Can't win and can't lose
Searching in corners and clues
My heaven fades in the clearest of blue
I know if I stay
I'll hold my breath passing graves
and get dizzy from the games that we play

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
A true-to-life exploration of the melancholy weirdness of young adult life featuring zig-zagging arrangements and poetic lyrics to match. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 7, 2023

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
