Liner Notes

#waltz #piano #ballad

This takes inspiration from "Monstrilio" by Gerardo Sámano Córdova, which I just finished reading. Leaving this one kind of sparse/raw

Lyrics

An ominous growl
too hungry to eat
like I’m throwing up rabbits
Is it all an act
or is there acid beneath
Vertical meat
struggling to speak
Keep my mouth shut to hide my teeth
I’m all unknowns underneath

I’m in my fruitus lupus days
Edging towards plausible deniability
We’re all making performance art
Out of the tentacles of family
It’s heavy to walk on these four limbs
When I could be swinging from a tree

Set up a phone
Install an app
Endless meal delivery
I pay it all back in tedium
The true skill of this work
is the mental gymnastics it takes
to connect it to my animal needs

I’m in my fruitus lupus days
Slipping away from polite company
We’re all making outsider art
Safe in the tentacles of family
It’s heavy to walk on these four limbs
When I could be swinging from a tree

I’m in my fruitus lupus days
Lost in collective memory
We’re all making derivative art
in the grasping tentacles of family
It’s so heavy to walk on these four limbs
When I could be swinging from a tree

This has a really nice feel to it. I really like the melody, especially the chorus. Really nice poetic lyrics. I really like deep lyrics that you have to dig into. Great job!
