blomil amazing piano arrangements of prior mili songs, serves as a great way to revisit some of their older material. momocashew's vocals feel sometimes improvised in the best way possible. emotionally raw in ways that feel completely different in their original counterparts. Favorite track: String Theocracy.

paradiddelirium A magnificent collection of songs, pared down to piano and vocals. The originals were awesome songs, but these new versions really shine a new light and bring forth different emotions, while putting emphasis on Cassie's amazing lyrics and unique voice. I'm usually not a fan of piano/voice music, but this album touches my heart directly. Favorite track: Iron Lotus.

Monday is a rainy day And I stay inside letting time pass away Tuesday it is quite the same So I daydream about moments of shame Life goes around and round I've stumbled and stopped moving on Turn around and I realized That I have been left behind In a tiny tiny tiny tiny cubicle There lives a whiny whiny whiny cowardly turtle In twenty thirty forty fifty sixty years My heart won't die no matter how hard I try Today is lonely I pretend I really liked it this way Tomorrow will stay the same And I can't even remember your name You're around no more No more Though this love of mine It just won't stop Please make it stop Tatata ta tata ta No body body body body to support My heavy heavy heavy but empty shell But I'm not lazy lazy lazy lazy anymore Oh darling can't you see I've grown so much more Maybe maybe maybe you've forgiven me Oh but darling darling darling you have to make sure To stab me pierce me hurt me kill me thoroughly You see My heart won't die though I really tried Tatata tata tatatata Tatata tata tatatata

Iron Lotus 03:54
Frozen stairs, carpet in blood red Seating goodbyes left unsaid Despite our promises, here I am following your steps Drop by drop As your unchanging reality dampen my sleeve You kissed them off Through the fibers of my handkerchief I am fire Burn those who dare to care for me And my fuel are memories of you They perish with the heat So I can move on Flower of iron Shriveled up to hide the imposter in me "Why did you leave?" Don't let those words out of me So I chewed on Huameitang For whom the shelves hold on to the pages? Their pain, their joy were given value as they were rated Isn't it ironic? Greed is unlimited; freedom is a limited resource Extra large for you means less for me I banged the drums Court of hell Demanding a new trial You got the wrong head Would you take mine instead? Stop leading me on World of titan allows me to live Only in the mud down its feet Though you're not with me I'll never admit defeat Every nice thing about me has become Canxiang You showed me I still had an umbrella full of love inside me So thank you for everything It pains me to think That my happiness turned out to be one of those fingers that strangled you until you couldn't breathe Not ashamed to go this way It's my fate I'm on my last white rabbit Naitang I am iron In my blood it streams roots deep With bruises on my knees And ribs crushed down to pieces Nothing left to hold on Actually wait I do have one regret That day before you left me "You're my everything" You're my everything We sucked on Maiyatang

TOKYO NEON 04:13
東京の人ゴミと ノイズが混じる あの夜消えた君の 痕跡探して   街の暗闇 突き刺すネオン 歪な僕を 妖しく照らし  切り捨てられない 想いを握りしめて 戸惑う間もなく 君の影追いかけていた 霧がかり光る 夜の摩天楼のライト 吸い込まれるように 君は姿を消した 何度も夜を超えて 記憶も薄れ 面影忘れられず 街を彷徨う 幾千に  散りばめた星が照らし 夢の中踊る まぼろしは儚く舞った 切り捨てられない 想いを握りしめて 微笑む顔すら 忘れてしまいそうだけど 東京の夜は 妖しく光り霞んでいて ネオンのノイズが 僕を狂わせていく

Rubber Human 02:27
If I can be a robot I'll be a robot that throws all your tears into the trashcan I'll be an eggplant Listening to you when there are no ears are to be lent Stretch me out Roll me into a rubbery log Cut me into pieces So my footprints won't be found If I can be a flower I'll be a flower that makes your desert into a garden I'll be a kitten Purring for you when no other voice can wake you up inside You told me that I was your everything But now we're left with nothing I still have this feeling that we might be able to undo To redo Believe me it's true My day and night run on my love for you Mix me up Fold me in with your buttery electric sheep Tear me into pieces So my real form won't be found If I can be a human I'll be a human who is way better than who I am I'll be a human A better human How much I wish to be in love again Love again

Birthday Kid 03:45
It's like we're a bunch of lonely people Testing the limit to see how much pain we can bear Honestly I don't know how I got so far I did this to me I did this to me There is no one else to blame I did it myself I did this to me, I did this to me, I did this to me, I did this to me I wish it was your fault, I wish it was your fault But how could it be, oh But how could it be, oh I did this to me Sometimes I can't move at all Unless I'm certain that I'm following the right path The right path In my dreams, you praised me and clapped Then mommy said "It's alright, there's always next time" "You did your best" It's like we're a bunch of lonely people Testing the limit to see how much pain we can bear Not too much and not too little So the world feels much more familiar And the only reason I could carry on is thanks to My imaginary children Great-great-grandchildren Singing in front of my 100th birthday cake Saying they are glad Saying they are proud Of what I've accomplished in my time It's all but a dream It's all but a dream I did this to me, I did this to me, I did this to me, I did this to me There is no more mommy There is no more daddy I'll take it head on Yeah I'll take it head on Cause I did this to me

Open the curtains Lights on Don't miss a moment Of this experiment Oh, the book is strange Like clockwork orange Keep your eyes buttered till the end Which "you" are you going to be? Hmm Inside the mirror do you see Someone else in that body? Dance for me One And two And three And turn around Sit like a doggy Till I finish my read Cut it off, cut down your loss All that stubborn loyalty is gonna get you killed In a world built on convenient theories For the puppets on TV There is comfort in the strings If you're gonna control me At least make it interesting theatrically How does it feel to be free? "Why don't you try it yourself?" The gate opened on me So I leaped Down, down, and down I go I tell myself I'm a tough girl Down, down, and down I go I could never, ever, ever touch the soil My heart goes right-left-right-left-right-left And end up on your bed Huh Sure I'll be your marionette Here, tug on my thread Spread me open for dolly pink, snow white artificial beauty Maybe we're all cold machines Stuffed in the human skin With human sins Sewed up by the gods of city Cut it out, you've already lost All that precious bravery's gonna get you hurt In a world that feeds on the minority May that self-centered belief lead you to peace So replace me If you have the audacity to kill me thoroughly When does it end for me? Hmm I think I am done with everything Now I'm ready to leave Dragging out One line Two lines Three lines Connect our hands When I no longer can live on knowledge alone You gave me strength Hopeful curiosity What's the colour of the electric sheep you see? And if you love me Can you love your everything too, for me?

The magical potion of reanimation Bittersweet cranberry flavoured euphoria Rise from bed my darling So I can see you again / So I can kill you And I'll / My brains accelerate Reassemble you again The witches can't be loved So bravely I fought They fell and failed My Lady doesn't wilt Lata lulila lulula lilula ta Lata lulila lulula lulalila Poisoned sandwich tea party starts now Eat up If you're lucky you won't rot Eat up It's your turn Eat till you drop Eat up Maybe this time you'll be caught Eat up Fill your stomach till it pops Eat up Eat it all just eat it all Cause there's no poison after all I've cleared mountains and dungeons Iron maiden My Lady has spoken "Ga1ahad, you shall never collapse" So I charged up my lasers Talila lulila That makes your bones stronger than steel Tulila talila That backs up your thoughts to the cloud Truth or false It's the logic that dictates it all Rising edge ticks the clock Stimulates your flip flop Generate Oscillate Let your blood fill the gates Multiplex Process registration Wipe off your pus Grind down your vitamins The end justifies the means Open the book Turn to page 617 -- Scientific Witchery Someday I'll conquer the land and have you slayed Blast away Blast away Don't be like Lancel0t You are the new upgrade / I appreciate your thoughts But you've given me too much to tolerate I've done so much for you But you treat me this way No forgiveness for this endless love My goddess never looked at me Finally our wounds closed Turned into purple scabs Kiss me tenderly gently violently There's no undo and there's no repeat Can't go back to how we used to be There's no restart but only proceed Take up from where we've left off and see

Lemonade 02:50
Sparkling leftover lemonade you'll never touch Tripped over my knock-off iittala cup Lemonade It spills all over Over and over Over and over No matter how much I clean it up Over and over Over and over Lemonade sinks into the floor Over Over and over Over and over No matter how much I lick it off Over Over and over Over Over and over Over and over and over and over You said I make the best lemonade in the world A little bitter, a little sweet, a little sour Now that you're gone so much lemonade gets left over Waiting to be drank I wish that person could be you Lemonade It spills all over Over Over No matter how much I want you back Over Over Lemonade stains my pillowcase Over and over No matter how much I wipe it off Over Over and over Over Over and over Over and over and over and over Over And over Over All over Sparkling leftover lemonade you'll never touch Tripped over my knock-off iittala cup Lemonade It spills all over And over All over And over And over And over

I peeked through the gate Found your hiding place Feather pens scribble down your commands "Scientific Evocation" Decomposing wolf fangs ------ x 163 Powdery moonlight ------------- x 2131g Half a human --------------------- x 1 Bite off your nail, paint a magic circle Chanting the magic spell Summon me now Take my paws, take my paws Show me wonders of your world The autumn leaves, the summer breeze Your shiny hair like mahogany Teach me, oh teach me The language that you sing Lyrr viva tou conquieta Aeterrno amora Crumbling gate Take me back to empty space Reached out to your gentle hands Doors closed Clipped my arm right off Still you would never give up Scanning nether for my whereabouts Howl… Summon me now Years gone by No moments wasted Day and night No memories faded Six hundred and seventeen pages Now became the basis of all creations Summon me now Hold on tight Let me shield you from all the storm The melting flesh, the burning tears Make you stronger than ever before Vive torr amora vrk The last words that you spoke Oozing out from your tiny skull Thousand-year wisdom Take my paw, take my paw You're the wonder of my world The wrinkled face, the silver hair Your crystal eyes stay a beautiful pair Teach me, oh teach me The magic that you preached I tried to speak, all that came out was Howl… Lyrr viva tou conquieta Aeterrno amora

Yes I have been so afraid Yes I have been so distant Consistently indifferent It's hard to put that in an amicable sentence I'm sorry Actually, not really There's just so much work Too much work to be done Committing to commitments Hiding my indulgence The freedom we sacrifice for love L-O-V-E-L-O-V-E L-O-V-E-L-O-V-E You also made me unafraid (yes im da brave boi) You gave me light (filament) You're patient (physician) Persistently listen (gentleman) It's hard to describe what I'm feeling at the moment Are you (uh huh?) Uhm (yes?) I mean (you're) in love with me? It's just so much fun Too much fun Oh come on How could you say no? To the fast and furious swan boat The excitement we mistake for love Though I enjoyed it all Still I have my doubts You're a nice girl I'm just not ready now But then mommy said It ain't family biz Get over it Toughen up Just like the man we expected So when are you gonna take the chance? Let us be one We are one All for one One for everyone We stick together Family is forever Inside the train we walked down the aisle Furthermore Our love opened the door To a vehicle I'd rather not enter Seconds later, a new future I know that I agreed to this myself I wish it was their fault Now I regret Wish we were dead Before we started feeding on each other Blood is thicker But the drink I prefer is water Now that it's over (wish we never) Listened to them (forged up our hearts) Mixed up our souls (let's pretend) That it didn't happen Forbid Forgive Forget L-O-V-E-L-O-V-E L-O-V-E-L-O-V-E <3 <3

Chocological 04:01
Ever since I was young I had a dream that I will be living in a castle Made out of chocolate and cake What a sweet sweet dream it was The walls will be marble chocolate bars The roof will be milk chocolate cigars The pool will be caramel chocolate blizzard Sprinkled with sugar powder Let's make it come true Delicious imagination cannot be wasted Oompa Loompa Doom Sing the magical song while stirring in whipping cream Tempering, tempering Vanilla extract certainly adds in aroma Grated heart With that enchanted formula the castle soon will be complete The garden is chocolate gelatin The trees are chocolate apples on sticks The flowers are piña colada syrup Pumped in minty chocolate eggs The couch is dark chocolate macaron The bed is comfy chocolate sponge cake Ding-dong Looks like someone's at the door Hello, how are you? Would you like to join? Jump down to the slide Banana split with extra bitter chocolate lava Bounce on the playground Exotic açaí juice dipped in condensed chocolate stream Let's make this our secret base When you are with me, I forget all of my sorrows Take my heart This is our new home We will live happily ever after Crunch crumble crackle The castle's breaking apart Trembling, trembling You're slowly eating up our dream yard Nibbling, nibbling Without hesitation You ate it all My hopes my dreams my castle my imagination You ate it all My tears my sweat my blood my hard work my time my faith my trust You ate our chocolate castle And when you're done you left to search for new delicacy You shred my heart However I am not angry at all 'cause I'm chocological Chocological Chocological Chocological
