• Lyrics - "Puking Pink": Nothing like being spoon-fed this Holding a babe, you must like it Caring for kids, you're born for it Nothing like dressing up this Nobody says how much work it is Have many children, don't think about it Don't be dramatic. Birthing won't hurt Don't you see all the happiness? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Listen, only good girls become wives So just be nice and don't be too dry Don't all girls want to grow up as a mom? Flowers and rainbows and sunshine Don't question all of this Just accept it all the kids A fairy tale meant to be just for she Don't you run away Sit and stay made for this Reality meant to be all for we - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hugging a newborn Oh you just love to tend Carrying them all day Nobody says a thank Rocking the cradle Without one wink of sleep Long day starts to end Singing a lullaby Heaving Puking Pink

Stiff Smile 01:56

• Lyrics - "Stiff Smile": Turn downside up Corners held tight Glued shut as such Looking alright No teeth allowed. It's not quite right Fill up all the cracked crevices Don't forget the final touches Set the lips with all of that starch Add final stitches to that arch Go out there. You're set and ready Chuckle about when you're happy Tilt your head to move your smile Shouldn't move or shift, but if so Do come back if you're gonna frown Although, price of beauty is pain Isn't this a failproof idea? Nobody can tell the difference Aren't you happy hiding your feels? Happy wearing this stiff smile Of course I will Gladly smile Wonderfully Deceiving so...

• Lyrics - "Just a Joke": High heels stepping inside the car Acting like one big superstar I turn up the music Her voice too putrid Wiping her hands with dirt Crumpling gifts, saying they're the worst Her laughter sounding angelic As if it's so magnetic What's the point of drama? My life isn't an opera My life isn't a post What am I to you, a joke? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Inside the carriage, asking who's the fairest But shouldn't you be embarrassed? Is that smile even honest? Your heart ain't even the rawest Flutter your eyes all day But who are you trying to sway? Telling me that you have my back As you file the nails waiting to attack What's the point of drama? My life isn't an opera My life isn't a post What am I to you, a joke? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I don't care who is the best Stop giving others the s*** test That chick is a basic b****? Now you're just deep in the ditch You called me a w****? That's the last straw, I swore You know I had enough Oh no, your problems? Sorry that's tough What's the point of drama? My life isn't an opera My life isn't a post Glad I left, it's over— I joked

No, it's on me Please there's no need, had fun really It's in my blood, so just let me What's the point Don't be a stiff Just let me pay Don't cause a rift Please don't say it.

• Lyrics - "For a Minute": For a minute Can you wait there? For a minute Can you stay there? For a minute Can you pace there? Is there an ounce of patience in your own mind? For a minute Can you wait there? For a minute Can you stay there? For a minute Can you pace there? ... Spacing away from the line Turning out. Turning out Making way for our own time Saving up. Saving up Is there an ounce of patience? Is there an ounce of seasons? Is there an ounce of patience? Is there an ounce of reasons? Ticking by frighteningly slow Did you expect to wait though? Ticking by frighteningly slow Pacing back and forth though For a minute Can you wait there? For a minute Can you stay there? For a minute Can you pace there? ... Is there an ounce of patience in your own mind? Can you stand waiting there for your whole lifetime?

Just let go Just let go Let me cry It's all fine It's all fine Just divine Where do I cross the line? When you just say it's all fine? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Typing out saying you're fine But it's all just a white lie Did you know I f****** cried?

• Lyrics - "Cold Hands": Holding your hand so gently, it's not warm anymore. Kinda eerie knowing that you're no longer here anymore. Can't we go back in time where things were sunny? But that's just freaking silly as it should be. Nobody knows I go home just to be there with you. F*** it all. All those noises. 12 years with you. Just hated seeing you wane like the moon. But I guess this is all what we will go though. Tears be falling so deadly knowing it's all for you. Life goes on churning forward as it should do.

about

• Description:
'Strike of XII' is my first LP release! I can't believe I made my first song for this album back during the start of February which was about eight months ago. I originally planned to have 12 songs symbolizing each hour on a grandfather clock. Pretty surprised I ended up sticking with the idea.

This album does not have feeling good vibes. It is actually quite dark which suits October just fine. Each song holds a story from the past. The song-making process was pretty cathartic to express the aftermath of conforming to traditions, being somewhere unsafe, feeling confused under pressure, and losing someone dear before my eyes. Honestly, I never expected this year to be so downhill for me. I thought the worst was all left behind, but it came back to haunt once more.
