you’ve made your bed sprawling carelessly you shake your head don’t like what you see life’s rushing water dive in, i’ll leave you’ve made your bed go to sleep i’m more than convenient you’re more than a prick that’s what i’ll call you when i tell my friends they’re asking what happened i’m wondering too every answer leaves me more confused really thought i had it right this time nights in your arms mornings of pure sunshine you just ran off flipped changed your mind i’m that easy to drop who told you to stop what wasn’t enough so pretty, so soft do you like them more tough do you like it more rough could’ve told me that stuff you’ve made your bed sprawling carelessly you shake your head don’t like what you see life’s rushing water dive in, i’ll leave you’ve made your bed go to sleep

going on 24 hours alone happiest in my room writing songs about you resentful i’m still giving you my time at least the art is mine you can’t have everything when you talk to me the words just pile up i can’t see my thoughts behind the promises you make and never keep we’re building walls around the things we really mean i can’t see my thoughts behind your insecurities i’ll set you free going on months since i felt my feet forgot that the ground held me to notice the subtleties watching shadows of floating leaves still falling from their trees january breeze when you talk to me the words just pile up i can’t see my thoughts behind the promises you make and never keep we’re building walls around the things we really mean i can’t see my thoughts behind your insecurities i’ll set you free we’re floating leaves in this biting breeze

trying to talk to you about nothing remember i exist equally worried that the lack of substance will change how you see this can you just tell me what’s up anything would be enough we both know distance is tough can you just tell me what’s good probably don’t think you should indulge my fantasies but i wanna see the coast in bloom if we tried, we could be together soon this fog fades tomorrow you’ll wake to the bay would you wait trying to show you that this means something remember my eyes equally worried that those couple days turned memories overnight can you just tell me what’s up anything would be enough we both know distance is tough can you just tell me what’s good probably don’t think you should indulge my fantasies but i wanna see the coast in bloom if we tried, we could be together soon my heart stays where it finds a place to lay would you wait

talking heads they scream so loud they drag you out of the bed can’t sleep when there is so much to be read i miss you it’s my fault too we’re scared to turn off the news quiet dread you’ll ask for an opinion i don’t have what they said i’ll try to quote would rather that we laugh not passive this just makes me blue don’t give ourselves the right to choose fill our minds with fighting fools call it power know we’re tools chasing truth is it worth the view their anger bubbles out of you not yours to carry cling to it proudly keeping up is helping who keeping up i’m losing you

fill me 04:14
i’m not enough fill me with stuff, all the way up i’m not enough i’ll lie, i’ll pretend this is love we always want more screaming out of locked bedroom doors how’d you find what’s worth living for i’m not enough you can be rough, cut through the fluff i’m not enough i’ll lie, i’ll reconstruct the front we always want more screaming into cold bathroom floors how’d you find what’s worth living for don’t tell me this is all our fault at my age you were happy we’re young, what’s there to cry about we really should be laughing i’ve often tried to starve myself but lack the self control my friends and i we’ve harmed ourselves in every way we know i’ve been waiting for the day i finally find the hole until then, all i have leaks out just hope what’s left is soul so don’t tell me this is our fault as if i haven’t had that thought see, the future’s what the past taught i’m not enough fill me with stuff, all the way up

dissolve 03:52
life underwater muffled and slow whisper my name i love the echo kids in the pool we’ll play through the cold the wind, rushing rapids out my window i will dissolve not rot in graveyards of stale thoughts i will absolve the weight that you can’t recall making mine let glimmer consume me my limbs bend and mold no longer concerned with staying afloat i’ll cradle my youth concede to my soul deep, i’ll grow stronger give into the flow i will dissolve not rot in graveyards of stale thoughts i will absolve the weight that you can’t recall making mine

about

dissolve is old man of the woods’ debut ep, made in miranda’s bedroom this winter during a month of rain and bad bout of bronchitis. everything clouded and waterlogged, the boundary between environment and self began to fade. wrapped in a warm fog, yearning vocals float through waves of synth and heartbeats of bass, conjuring a world equally intimate and organic. she found comfort in letting herself dissolve, and hopes you will too 💙

the alchemy of shit into sustenance. named after a dark scruffy mushroom that survives by the same creed.

“blurs the line between the personal and the natural world, conjuring a vivid and sometimes eerie soundscape as damp and rich as the woodland floor” (vsf)
