I
I promise
I promise that I'll do better
I
I promise
I promise that I'll be braver
I
I know this
I know this 'cause I promised
And I
Will keep this
Know that I'll keep this promise
-
So
The pleasant
Dreamlike conversation
With you
Is over
we return to reality
You
Should not lose
Should not lose the fresh spirit
That you
That you had
That you had at the beginning

Your Birthday

Blow the candles out
Burn my whiskers off
The way you always would
My dear
Turn the lights way low
Build a pillow fort
The way we used to do
Yesteryear
No amount of money spent
Will hit the way a poem would
Remember writing letters to each other
Over and over again
The ramblings of a love drunk mind
The stupid things I'd always whine
The countless gifts we'd often send
I don't remember anymore
Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
I'm so glad I met you
Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
I'm so glad it turned out to be you!
Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
I'm so glad I met you
Happy birthday! Again, listen;
I'm so glad it turned out to be you
voice 1: You, you, you, you...
voice 2: You've grown up so much
I like you because
You are who you are
You are
You are
voice 3: Blow the candles out...

I opened that old wound again
Anytime we try to be friends
It never works out
I want more
I only wanna be yours
It'd never work out
I'm too much of a fucking coward
I wanna be yours
Wanna be yours
Wanna be your "something more"
-
I feel myself spiralin'
Troubled by libido again
I wanna hold you
And fuck you
And marry
And have kids
It's so out of reach
I feel like it's already ruined
I feel like
I feel like
I feel like I'm gonna be sick

Do you think
Hummingbirds
Would like this song?
Low... sunflowers. Chrysanthemums.
I'm just listing flowers at this point
[... ]
Hummingbirds. Oleander.
Field of peony, regret. Forget.
Geraniums. Bluebonnets.
I'm just listing flowers,
beating flowers, beating you.
You, you.
Ooh, you, you.
I'm just listing flowers, beating flowers,
listing flowers, beating you.

A Shiba Texas
A Shiba is a small solo project by some lame guy in Texas. Initially acoustic and folky, soon came elements of field
recordings, sampling, freak folk, and noise rock.
Later came math rock, slowcore and emo influences. We'll see what the future holds.

We Have Such Sights to Show You
by Hellraiserten
This album, while having a variety of well produced instrumentation is still quite simple and memorable. It retains the previous songwriting skills but makes each track more unique in it's own way.

songs for someone EP
by April Rain
A beautiful, heartbreaking record. You can tell just how much weight is behind every one of these simple songs, and that much pain and hardships were experienced and were somehow translated into song.
