Itch EP (2021)
Kings Canyon
Composed by saajtak. Lyrics by Alex Koi
Overrun the clock / No more 305 cruising / The interstate was blocked by smoke too thick to see / When the forest hits the fire there’s no gasp / Just empty amphitheater x4 / Where is the crowd? I have been right here / I dreamt of family / You promised us these better things / There’s no more chance to fall in love, not for me / I’ll just keep on walking / The day the Earth was scorched, the silver lake showed the Gemini-white-flag sewn together by my thousand friends who did warn me about You.
FLICKER
Composed by saajtak. Lyrics by Alex Koi.
You’re a victim, though a Future-Seer / Who can look up, sing morals up and down. / But you cannot breathe in the nighttime, you cannot breathe in the day / You’re eyes scream, “Make me alive” / Yearn to tease out the sadness / So it won’t flicker in the madness of you’re darkest everyday / You believe in it, but it won’t get you better at all / It slides, it slides like ash to ignite your veins / You have me x2 / Trust me on this one / Trust me on this, Love / Trust me on this one, yearn / Yearn [you wreck it everything I got it off // You pull me in and that’s a sign of toxic love] / So it won’t, won’t flicker in the madness / So [is it enough to want to make this right? / It won’t [when you still emasculate the operation signal / Won’t flicker in the madness [the start light would start to beep only when I’m around / So, it won’t [and you still confuse the optimizing vitals / I need, I can lead, but you keep the truth from me] / Won’t flicker in the madness of your darkest every, every, everyday.

Composed by saajtak. Lyrics by Alex Koi.
Where are you now? / You’re pulled away but I’m still pulled to you / your gravity is soft / Mine is centrifugal / Hangs onto someone hanging onto you but can’t love fast enough / I would help it if I could - make the Itch less sharp and cruel / What were elastic ties had become velcro connecting our shoulders / This flimsy adhesion, a trust that neither one would want to stray too far / But, when we breathe rebirth in springtime air… Our lungs expand so wide to pull the fastener away /
My body won’t stand to be ignored, though we were so original / Apologize is not resolved, no return to my Guardian embrace / This Itch at last will be forgot / Sharing our parts / Never have I hurt like burning, long time for soul to be missing / Sharing our parts /
Oo maybe, silence is right / Oo maybe. Silence is right [My body won’t stand to be ignored]
Oo maybe, silence is right [Though we were so original, sharing our parts. Sharing our parts]
Silence is right. Silence is right. Silence is right.
