Baba Yaga 03:45
Shoved her children in the oven while she focused on her career Chucked the cauldron for fermenters started brewing her own beer Laced the prince's pint with poison cause she doesn't need a man Hocked her heels for pads and quads And changed her name to Culture Jam Baba Yaga lives alone She never sleeps at home She's such a lively crone Baba Yaga shatters glass At dinner pays her half Subtracts the gender pay gap She's a witch She's an activist She's a witch She's a what, she's a what She's a what, she's a what Early to the farmers' market in her chicken-leg hut Genderqueer coven that meets on Tuesdays to discuss the Ethical Slut Three cats named after feminist blogs, and a snake in a fez she calls the Doctor... wut. End of the night Slappin' high fives And I'm not standing in the way End of the night Slappin' high fives And I'm not standing in the way Baba Yaga lives alone She never sleeps at home She's such a lively crone Baba Yaga shatters glass At dinner pays her half Subtracts the gender pay gap She's a witch She's an activist She's a witch She's a what, she's a what She's a what, she's a what She's a witch She's an activist She's a witch She's a what

White Knight 04:45
The hero journeys through seven stories But you're still stuck in the same one Overcoming the monster is easy enough You don't know what to do when that's done You're not a white knight You're a sheep in sheep's clothes You're not a white knight Nobody sent for a white knight but you're still picking the same fights Don't have a panic attack Don't be a troll Don't have a panic attack, oooh Panic attack Don't have a panic attack Don't be a troll Don't have a panic attack, oooh Panic attack A hero knows when to stand up A hero knows when to sit down A hero knows when to stand up A hero knows when to just leave the sword in the stone You try so hard not to be bitter And to be clear you don't succeed Life ain't all instagram and twitter but you can still get the things you need If you Don't have a panic attack Don't be a troll Don't have a panic attack, oooh Panic attack Don't have a panic attack Don't be a troll Don't have a panic attack, oooh Panic attack You're not a white knight You're a sheep in sheep's clothes You're not a white knight You're not a white knight You're a sheep in sheep's clothes You're not a white knight You keep swinging that damn sword You're expecting a reward You know you have so far to go So don't be a troll

Have you taken the test? That tells you what you are I took it twice 100% both times Do you have your own chapter In the DSM-5 Named your kids Myers and Briggs, 8 pounds six ounces on the Kinsey Scale Ten steps for taking care Of your ambiverted schizopath If your box isn't labeled How will people know where to ship you? (I took a test online) Know thyself, says Pythia I'm a Cancer, but not that kind Everything in moderation, was that From Delphi again, or Dr. Phil? My spirit animals have Leapt screaming from all of their cages Started a band, called The Secret, with the Power of positive thinking, mmm mm (I took a test online) (I took a test online) This time I'm disinclined To swallow my pride My personality test left me undefined Have you taken the test?

The message I sent went without your attention You don't listen when you ask for advice I don't doubt you have it all figured out But you don't listen when you ask for advice We can wait it out, if you don't hear me now We can fake it til you hear me again We can wait it out Til you hear me again When you never catch the right breaks The same fix for the same mistakes You could listen if you knew how Can you hear me now ow ow Back to the wall by the bathroom stall You never listen when you ask for advice Now you drown downtown with all the rats that you've found You shoulda listened when you asked for advice We can wait it out, if you don't hear me now We can fake it til you hear me again We can wait it out Til you hear me again When you never catch the right breaks The same fix for the same mistakes You could listen if you knew how Can you hear me now ow ow I don't mind that you don't have the time, cause You don't listen when you ask for advice Now you drown downtown with all the rats that you've found You shoulda listened when you asked for advice Five-foot-five making money on the side But you don't listen when you ask for advice Taking the horns by the bull with your dance card full But you don't listen when you ask for advice We can wait it out, if you don't hear me now We can fake it til you hear me again We can wait it out Til you hear me again

I know my mind's design I won't make a sound I know my mind's design: I am going to ground I don't know what I feel There's a quiet in my heart I feel the sudden interruption of noise Take all I can not quick enough to avoid I feel the sudden interruption of noise My misophonia is stealing my voice Tried to stay dreaming but I woke up instead Stop all my senses til I'm out of my head Tried to stay dreaming but I woke up instead My misophonia will put me to bed I don't know what I feel There's a quiet in my heart I don't know what I feel There's a quiet in my heart I don't have much to say There's a quiet in my heart Tried to stay dreaming but I woke up instead Stop all my senses til I'm out of my head Tried to stay dreaming but I woke up instead My misophonia will put me to bed I know my mind's design I won't make a sound I know my mind's design I am going to ground

It was a cold September night And I, alone, reclined in bed, A candle lit; a story read. And getting settled there I fell Into a deep reflection half Between my wakefulness and sleep I heard an owl outside my room Hawoo, hawoo, hawoo it’s true To me it beckoned from the blue. So in my liminality His tree I crept outside to seek My monkey slippers on my feet In the hollow of the tree I saw two nictitating eyes Shining on me And the creature spoke from the wood In a low and trembling voice I half understood Then the world turned upside down A shower of sparks sprung from the ground And I thought I was dead It was only in my head I thought I was dead It was only in my head Before my very eyes Saw the owl grow as tall as the sky And the sparks came raining down It was magic, magic As I stood in the land of dreams. What did it mean? Then he said “do you pass the test?” Pulled my heart right outta my chest It was wreathed in dust and grime Yeah that was mine Saw all my troubles in its sheen What did it mean? “In a moment I’ll be gone Through a window to a time that has slipped away. You’ll awaken after long With this song And a riddle in your head” This is what he said This is what he said How will you be born in the morning? How will you be born in the morning? How will you be born in the morning? How will you be born in the morning? I heard an owl outside my room Hawoo, hawoo, hawoo it’s true It questioned everything I knew And in the violet hour I fled Back to the safety of my bed A lingering riddle in my head In the morning I’ll be born with a new heart With a new heart shining in me In the morning I’ll be born with a new heart With a new heart shining in me In the morning I’ll be born with a new heart With a new heart shining in me In the morning I’ll be born with a new heart With a new heart shining in me

Before I knew what happened I was turned into a bird As quick as I could blink A magic spell, I think A mess of feathers, scatterbrained Not knowing what was what Thinking only of survival And which way was up Fly back to reality Fly back to reality It took a while to get the hang of Tails and beaks and wings I floated in the dark To find where I’d parked Scanning the horizon I was struck by a sight My eyes had been reorganized And I saw the light My cryptochromes guide me home, guide me home My cryptochromes guide me home, guide me home When I'm lost my cryptochromes guide me home My cryptochromes guide me home, guide me home Every atom in my body used to live inside a star Sacrificed across the ether at a billion miles an hour Home is where the fusion happens, home is where you are In your heart resides the furnace of a lineage of stars Before I knew what happened I was turned into a bird As quick as I could blink A magic spell, I think A mess of feathers, scatterbrained Not knowing what was what Thinking only of survival And which way was up My cryptochromes guide me home, guide me home My cryptochromes guide me home, guide me home When I'm lost my cryptochromes guide me home My cryptochromes guide me home, guide me home

Best Ghost 05:55
A million people disappeared Shifted phase into another world Then they came back But they don't make eye contact The fine weather retreats Laying leaves on the graveyard ground Now the trees are bare And the birds have left their naked nests I only come when you call And when you don't you won't notice me at all I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost All the lights are off I don't answer when you knock on the door With my ear to the floor Throw a sheet over my head and stay dead Stay home cause I still miss, I still miss being alone I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost I'm the best ghost Floating between worlds It's all right! The storm and the calm It's all right! Breathing with the earth It's all right! The storm and the calm It's all right! A million people disappeared Shifted phase into another world Then they came back But they don't make eye contact I'm the best gbsost I'm the best ghsst I'm the bewdst ghdsst I'm the best g35host I'm thae best ghost I09dhwd oaih-9j92djn a0we0dj aw9j3 3r236u65rtudrtyus

You can run, you can run, you can run but you can't hide While the skeletons ride by your side I delighted to take mine willingly I've come far, what you are now is what I used to be Dressing skeletons well in the livery Of the cult of memento mori I don't think that I'm afraid to die And if I only have one life I don't wanna have Something to hide I'm playin' live from inside a divided attention span Can't deny I come back in the end to Prevent my skeletons from yellin' the chorus I believe to be free is to feel their touch It'll only hurt a little I promise you You can run, you can run, you can run but you can't hide While the skeletons ride by your side Free my mind my testimonial follows Interspersed with a verse and a musical interlude Fashion crude rocket boots to ascend to Unprecedented heights high on a positive attitude I don't think that I'm afraid to die And if I only have one life I don't wanna have Something to hide I don't think that I'm afraid to die And if I only have one life I don't wanna have Something to hide I don't think that I'm afraid to die And if I only have one life I don't wanna have Something to hide

She and I together by the lakeside I can see it in her eyes She wants more, she wants more So sensitive, she'd be a charming wife Wants lots of kids and a creative life He makes her laugh and his hands are rough He's never really good enough for her Maybe she'll take up a brand new hobby Like knitting scarves or drinking rum Til she forgets it's her birthday Maybe I won't notice that her sleeves are damp She's hiding under an umbrella when it hasn't been raining Every time she looks away She's not sure if he'll be there But secretly she hopes not She takes the bus across the lake, She asks the questions that keep her awake She finds the answers in a book She hides the cover underneath a magazine She and I together by the lakeside I can see it in her eyes She wants more, she wants more Me and all the not-enoughs she left behind With clever nicknames on the wall She kept a record of self-sabotage So sensitive, she'd be a charming wife Wants lots of kids and a creative life He makes her laugh and his hands are rough He's never really good enough for her He's never really good enough for her

Megadriles 05:52
We know what we want With our ears to the ground But they don’t make a sound No they don’t make sound The things that we bury Come out when it rains So tread soft on the pavement Who knows what remains when Together we roam Together, together we roam Our spirits will bend Our spirits will break The mistakes that we make Our spirits will shatter and break When it comes to the truth Only ugly ones matter And oh when it’s raining That’s what comes crawling out We’ll come into our own We’ll dig real deep And we’ll see where it goes Too late to go home Too late to be good But we know that we should We know that we should Ain’t easy to wish When you don’t know you want it Every flame that’s inside us Is a war that we’ve won (We’ll come into our own We’ll come into our own) We’ll come into our own We’ll dig real deep And we’ll see where it goes We’ll come into our own We’ll hang on the vine And we’ll turn in the sun
