Pixel Heart

I want you to work that heart.
Girl, your voice is classic art.
101 it strums the strings of my heart
Even plays that hard solo part.
It's doing jazz formulations
Causing mild heart complications
Is this what they call adult like situations?
When do we start the unification?
But know when i say i love you
It means more than it means to you
It means i want to always be with you.
It means ignoring the facts to be with you.
Baby, I wanna spend more time with you.
I wanna pause my game for you.
Let me be the game genie to your heart
Be the fairy that fills up my pixel heart
Girl be my hidden 1-up.
You can be my armor 1 plus
We can never rust up
Come be my love lvl up
I'll battle every monster in hyrule
If it will lead me to you
I'll even challenge donkey kong too
If it means i can save you
I'll take on every ninja in ninja gaiden
Use fatalities on liu kang and raiden
Defeat bison with massive hadokens
If it means youll be mine in the end
Baby, I wanna spend more time with you.
I wanna pause my game for you.
Let me be the game genie to your heart
Be the fairy that fills up my pixel heart

Hard Pass

Haven't seen you.
Since highschool '98
I used to like you
So much, I never ate
When you hit me up on FB
I thought we had a connection
I thought it was destiny
But I got a correction
When you started to add
All the homies on my friendlist
Signal received loud and fast
I wasn't the one, I was just a hard pass.
You made me feel alive
Like I was young again
Had me riding that passion wave
Had me stuck daydreaming
We were all over each other
Like two hogs in heat
Thought we were together
But then I had to accept defeat.
When you started to add
All the homies on my friendlist
Signal was received loud and fast
I wasn't the one, I was just a hard pass.

Dark Truth
03:30
|

Blame everyone around you
For everything wrong with you
Blame your mom and dad
For why you're always so mad
You say no one ever gave you a chance
No one taught you how to make a stand
No one ever believed in you
No one let you be the one true you
The dark truth is you never believed
In yourself to begin with
No one held you back
Except for you! It's the dark truth!
You think your friends are to blame
They're the reason you never achieved fame
You say your family makes you feel robbed
they're the reason you can't hold a job
You say no one ever gave you a chance
No one taught you how to make a stand
No one ever believed in you
No one let you be the one true you
The dark truth is you never believed
In yourself to begin with
No one held you back
Except for you! It's the dark truth!
The dark truth is you never believed
In yourself to begin with
No one held you back
Except for you! It's the dark truth!

Oh, Oh, Oh, you were the worst
I could ever hope to do
I don't know why I stuck with you
You were the most toxic person I ever knew
You were the best at being trash
When I threw you out, I was finally glad
But you always found a way
To show your dumb face every day
I don't believe in ghosts!
So why are you still around?
You've been dead to me
Since the day I cast you out
I don't believe in ghosts!
So why you still coming around?
Nobody even likes you in this town
So just get out of my face, right now!
Hey! Hey! Hey! No you can't stay the night
No, sorry. we still ain't still tight
You'll always be a garbage person to me
Don't care what life changes you think you're making
You're the only regret I've ever made
The one person I wish I never laid
Eyes on all those years before
Get out! You're such an eye sore
I don't believe in ghosts!
So why are you still around?
You've been dead to me
Since the day I cast you out
I don't believe in ghosts!
So why you still coming around?
Nobody even likes you in this town
So just get out of my face, right now!

Trial and Error
02:51
|

|
Don't come at me expecting ez answers
Do you think I Iearned to suck over night?
Things don't just come easy to me
Won't get nowhere if we never try
Nothing is a given
Nothing is guaranteed
It's all trial and error
you need to put the time in
Nothing is a given
Nothing is guaranteed
It's all trial and error
you need to put the time in
Do you think everything just falls into my lap?
Do you think all of this was given to me?
Like some kind of pampered little brat?
guess what, punk I had to put in the work!
Nothing is a given
Nothing is guaranteed
It's all trial and error
you need to put the time in
Nothing is a given
Nothing is guaranteed
It's all trial and error
you need to put the time in

Stop Playing Around
03:20

Stop messing around
You always act a fool when you come over
Do you always gotta be drunk
To even wanna come over?
Do you think it's funny
To knock down all my transformers?
Do you think it's hilarious to spill
beer on my comics over and over?
I'm so sick and tired
of being sick and tired
Aren't you tired of
ruining everything you touch?
Stop playing around
this isn't a game
I work really hard
for all these things you call "lame"
Stop messing around
how many times you gonna flood the toilet?
Do you always gotta come over
and tear up the bathroom?
Do you think it's a joke
To come and flirt with my parent?
Do you honestly think
this is how you act at a sleep over?
I'm so sick and tired
of being sick and tired
Aren't you tired of
ruining everything you touch?
Stop playing around
this isn't a game
I work really hard
for all these things you call "lame"
I'm so sick and tired
of being sick and tired
Aren't you tired of
ruining everything you touch?
Stop playing around
this isn't a game
I work really hard
for all these things you call "lame"

UNCRUZZIMATIC
04:18

I bet you thought
It was gonna be easy
You'd just waltz right in
Like captain big balls
It's a hostile take over
push your way into my crew
I'm not just a push over
Me and my squad ain't afraid of you
Did you think it was gonna
Be a walk in the park?
Did you think you could just
Mansplain your way in
And we'd just keel over
and take it, like a chump?
We're made of sterner stuff
Not like the 'cons you're used to
No one's gonna follow
A jerk face like you
No one's gonna follow
an uncharasmatic bore like you
No one's gonna follow
A jerk face like you
No one's gonna follow
an uncharasmatic bore like you

It's OK to be Okay
03:49

Are you having fun?
Are you finally enjoying yourself?
Do you finally feel
Like you can stop hating yourself?
Don't overthink it
Stop over analyzing every detail
Stop criticizing every
Little win you have for yourself
Just take a breather
And try to remember
It's Ok to be okay
There's nothing wrong
With not being down
In the dumps everyday
It's Ok to be okay
You can do something for yourself
You're allowed to smile
Every once in a while
Do you feel good?
Do you like the way it feels?
Are you worried,
That it's wrong to feel this way?
Don't let other people
Make you feel guilty
You can't live every day
For everyone else
Just take a breather
And try to remember
It's Ok to be okay
There's nothing wrong
With not being down
In the dumps everyday
It's Ok to be okay
You can do something for yourself
You're allowed to smile
Every once in a while

VR Mosh Pit

Stuck on your couch
Another rainy day
Can't go watch
any fun bands play
Bored at home
nothing good to do
put on your head set
you know what to do
VR mosh pit!
Run around the house
kicking all the walls
VR mosh pit!
punch your sister's cat
knock down mom and dad
VR mosh pit!
Ram through the screen door
Knock grams to the floor
VR mosh pit!
Fist through the TV
destroying everything
Play the music loud
Piss of all the neighbors
Hype up the children
gonna circle pit in the kitchen
crash through all the doors
hyped up on sugar water
break your dad's gundams
hardcore dance into the fine china
VR mosh pit!
Run around the house
kicking all the walls
VR mosh pit!
punch your sister's cat
knock down mom and dad
VR mosh pit!
Ram through the screen door
Knock grams to the floor
VR mosh pit!
Fist through the TV
destroying everything

Do you miss when thing were easier?
When you didn't have to walk on egg shells.
When eveything wasn't a battle
Or a race to see who get's the last word
Do you miss not having to worry
About who you're going to offend?
If you don't yet, dont worry
I promise you in a few years you will.
One day we all will want to go
Back to when being lame was cool.
We all eventually get old and want to go
Back to when being lame was cool.
Do you miss when the days
When you knew what we were fighting for?
Back when you still knew
Who it was holding you down
Remember when you hated
Old people music
Now all your favorite bands
Are on the Oldies radio Station
One day we all will want to go
Back to when being lame was cool.
We all eventually get old and want to go
Back to when being lame was cool.

Breakdown With Me

We all know life's already hard
We don't have to act so hard
This isn't a competition
There's no trophy to be winning
Stop trying to one up failures
Theres no reason to keep hatin'
Everybody has their own problems
No one's perfect so stop comparing
Come Fall Down
Come Fall Down
Just take a knee with me
And have a breadown with me
Yes somedays are going to make you cry
Come have a breakdown with me
Don't act like no one gets you
Just because the world keeps coming at you
It's not like your the only one with bad days
Even heroes have sad days
If you think your life is pure crap
Remember, it could be worse
You know like, your nose
Could be Gushing blood!
Come Fall Down
Come Fall Down
Just take a knee with me
And have a breadown with me
Yes somedays are going to make you cry
Come have a breakdown with me

Slow Burn
04:11
|
|||
|
Come stand with us
See their world spiral
Their kingdom turned to rust
Watch their world burn
Look at these fools as they run and panic
Nothing can be fixed with their human tools
Their systems are corrupted, their minds infected
have no answers, to their problems self-inflicted
They Can't tell the difference, what's the truth, what's a lie
They have no direction. they're bound, gagged, and tied
No idea what to believe, because they always lie
Left to their own devices, they will surely all die
The warnings were there all along
It slowly grew but it all started small
started as a scratch, became a gaping wound
Is this what they call a Slow Burn?
Burn! Burn!
Come stand with us
See their world spiral
Their kingdom turned to rust
Watch their world burn
Idiotic fools! There's no escape from all this
You made your beds, now you have to lay in it
There were plenty of chances, to change your fates
But you thought you knew better, and now it's too late
Now you scramble around, like ants caught in rain
You didn't want any help, now all you get is PAIN!
You could have escaped from that sinking ship
Decided to stay and live how you wanted
The warnings were there all along
It slowly grew but it all started small
started as a scratch, became a gaping wound
Is this what they call a Slow Burn?
Burn! Burn!
Burn! Burn!
Burn! Burn!
Burn! Burn!
Hahaha!

A nascent debut EP combining electronica and synthpop. Catchy melodies and shiny synths. At the time of my listen, Tim had already released others since this, and this makes me want to hear what he's done since.
