CookiethePirate A mesmerizing and mysterious journey, like a walk through Twin Peaks. Has some of the most beautiful soundscapes. And as a neurodiverse person, I keep finding new lyrics that hit hard on every listen. Honestly one of the most valuable pieces of art I have ever discovered. Favorite track: White Knuckles.

Powder Blue Earth Some nights I just don’t sleep And lose my mind gradually Over a decade or so Losing minutes of I don’t know My friends keep me awake I hear them laugh but they’re all just shapes Dancing in a cold dark blue dawn Until they finally let me go home I live in this powder blue earth x5 My life under the sun Could never feel as real as this one But when my friends keep me awake By slamming doors it’s no longer fun My mind gone so wrong turned into a dust blue dawn I live in this powder blue earth x3 My mind gone so wrong turned into a dust blue dawn

Citrus 02:53
Citrus Love you found me in the trees Citrus on my lips Lemon tea on my fingertips Are you fascinated? x2 Love you were up in the sky Only boy who wasn’t mean Baggy full of green Do I love you? Wow I think I do One day we’ll live in a house Citrus on my hands And you won’t fly away again Will you always like me? Do you think you’ll always like me? Love you found me in the trees Citrus on my lips Lemon tea on my fingertips Are you fascinated? x2 One day we’ll live in a house Citrus on my hands And you won’t fly away again

Crawl 02:45
Crawl I left it burning on the shelf Lose enough sleep you’ll forget yourself I know that lately it’s been hard To know just who the hell we are This conversation is sporadic Learning lessons from an addict 1234 I heard you talking on the phone You think I want to be alone You think you’re not supposed to be The kind of boy in love with me You say your mind is damaged goods You might be damaged but you’re so good x2 Come rest your tired thoughts here You won’t make sense of us at all Sometimes love lifts you higher But sometimes love it makes you crawl Doctors say it makes you depressed To spend the whole day in your bed That diagnosis may be right But they never had you spend the night They say your mind is damaged goods You might be damaged but you’re so goodx2 Come rest your tired thoughts here You won’t make sense of us at all Sometimes love lifts you higher But sometimes love it makes you crawlx2 1234

In Between 04:03
In Between In my old dark house alone Listening to the jet planes go Most think about sex but some think about saving the world We’ve got people in the sky all wondering why it twirls In my old dark house sleeping Listening to the sirens beeping I don’t think I know how to not think about all that happens One day you’re in love the next day you are in an ambulance But the traffic’s never gone from the street And I’m dreaming about the passenger seat No one’s really up for believing In a life that’s really worth living In between Gonna walk all night in the forest When you don’t bring a gun bird sing chorus I’ll get lost in the trees it’s safer than the streets these days When you get stalked like prey you’ll forever walk away from violence But the traffic’s never gone from the street And I’m dreaming about the passenger seat No one’s really up for believing In a life that’s really worth living x2

White Knuckles I crown me king of the sweet cold north With my carpet of needles and my crown of snow I will shatter all guns and I will break all swords Melt the hate in the bonfire watch the golden glow And when it burns too bad gotta dig your nails into your palm White knuckles x2 I dub me lord of the kind warm pine woods With my blue lipped frost bitten flightless fae I crown me protector of the good Creatures hiding abiding by the hunter’s ways And when its hurts too bad gotta dig your nails into your palm White knuckles x2 Why does man find beauty in submission? Rather nail her coat his wall than her eyes be bright He thinks something strong needs to be controlled In my kingdom the streets are always safe at night And when you’re scared so bad gotta dig your nails into your palm White knuckles You gotta hit so hard so they know that this was never their world Red knuckles x2

Warrior 03:26
Warrior The lake is almost frozen The clouds begin to close in But I’m not scared of the cold Put out the fire at first light We’ll walk the woods till midnights Cause I’m not scared of the dark Can't you see the freedom in the trees? You can see your own breath it’s not death It’s release. The ground is almost frozen Their warriors been chosen And I’m not scared of the cold My army is the silence The refusal of violence And I’m not scared of the dark Cant you see the freedom in the trees? You can see your own breath it’s not death It’s release x2 You can see your own breath it’s not death It’s release

Coriander/Chamomile Ripe like coriander grown in his back yard I grew like your hatred grew for me Smooth like alabaster stone you drew me to you and then you pushed me away Caged with feathers clipped I loved to sing to you until i knew I’d never be set free He felt so warm When you had been so cold He felt so warm When you had been so cold Dyed by box color, my hue muddied by him painting me a shade I didn’t know Kleptomaniac he took me from my world to see if he could take me at all Young like tulip bulbs you left me in the cold and told me I should grow on my own He felt so warm When you had been so cold He felt so warm When you had been so cold Warm like sun kissed skin fresh like peppermint kissed by cold I can’t remember spring Soft like chamomile but you taught me how to feel dependent on nobody but myself

Joan of Arc 03:19
Joan of Arc I call upon Joan of Arc Her torch above lighting the dark I call upon Saint Michael I call upon the archangel Will I have my place on the wall of saints? Cause I’ve seen her face Virgin Mary’s grace has led me home I call upon the chariot I call upon the past unbury it In confessional I say father I’m just trying to save the world Will I have my place on the wall of saints? Cause I’ve seen her face Virgin Mary’s grace has led me home Will I be carved in stone? Sit on the twelve thrones ? Will they save my bones? Have tapestries sewn? May the ones who carried world illuminate the path worth walking through We the ones who buried the world Will rejuvenate, and all will be new x3 Will I have my place on the wall of saints Cause I’ve seen her face Virgin Mary’s grace has led me home Will I be carved in stone? Sit on the twelve thrones Will they save my bones? Have tapestries sewn

Roswell 04:05
Roswell I was kinda scared of going mad I wasn’t prepared for the brain i had They say normal is a made up word To make daydream kids feel absurd I thought a lot, wrote a lot cried a lot Fell in love, fell asleep and forgot If ufos aren’t over Roswell If spheric shuttles aren’t in the deserts You best believe it doesn’t mean they are not somewhere If aliens with time warp portals Don’t want to spend their time with boring mortals You best believe it doesn’t mean they are not somewhere Can you remember school? I can’t recall Anything but rules The same white walls They always made us watch Some movie And still ask us why we’re always glued To our phone screens The textbooks lacked everything but our brand No ancient earth just 200-year old land If ghosts don’t dwell in graveyards Or spirits speak through Ouija You best believe it doesn’t mean they are not somewhere If aliens with time warp portals Don’t want to spend their time with boring mortals You best believe it doesn’t mean they are not somewhere

King Paten 02:30
King Paten I know I built it That world of my own inside a forest existing only when I wanted to play They said “love, you’ll forget us” Abandon the crusade just pretend you didn’t make her up inside of your brain I think the reason I was strong Was I thought I was someone else entirely until I forgot who I was underneath They whisper “it’s been too long” Come back to forest this little earth ends whenever you tell it to leave Paten, you’ve got the whole world. You might as well be happy
