Okay for Now
03:35
|

|
I've been chasing something careless
I've been tasting acid rain
We might drink ourselves to death, dear
But at least we killed the ache
Crush me in your waves
I've been drowning in your grace
I'm just trying to feel okay
I'm just trying to feel okay for now
I've been chasing pure destruction
In the season of your skin
All we've lost, but not forgotten
The comfort my sweetest sin
No time to keep for tomorrow
No mercy killing for today
We lick our wounds down in the dark, dear
Console the things we cannot save
Crush me in your waves
I've been drowning in your grace
I'm just trying to feel okay
I'm just trying to feel okay
I've been painting you in dreams
Give me something bad for me
I'm just trying to feel okay
I'm just trying to feel okay for now
Crush me in your waves
I've been drowning in your grace
I'm just trying to feel okay
I'm just trying to feel okay
I've been painting you in dreams
Give me something bad for me
I'm just trying to feel okay
I'm just trying to feel okay for now

Liminal Space
03:28
|
|||
|
I fell in love with the world inside my head
Nothing else I ever met could compare
I ruined this life for myself
Always thinking somewhere else
What's it gonna take?
What's it gonna take?
Is that the worst of my mistakes
Always living in displacement
I'm a liminal space
Where nothing ever stays
I'll make distressing an obsession
Until my best days never happen
You can crawl into this hole with me
I'll show you what it's like to be
A revenant to the never was
Mourning lost lives
That I've never known
Is that the worst of my mistakes
Always living in displacement
I'm a liminal space
Where nothing ever stays
Is that the worst of my mistakes
Always living in displacement
I'm a liminal space
Where nothing ever stays
But I'll always be there to haunt you
With my might have been
With my couldn't be
In my epitaph to everything
Is that the worst of my mistakes
Always living in displacement
I'm a liminal space
Where nothing ever stays
Is that the worst of my mistakes
Always living in displacement
I'm a liminal space
Where nothing ever stays

Dopamine Fiend
03:01
|
|||
|
No wonder people get addicted to this
Can't feel my faintest fears or fingertips
Just a dopamine fiend
In a comatose dream
Taking comfort in the things so bad for me
A dopamine fiend
In a comatose dream
Make it sleep
Keep it quiet
Make it leave
Make it sleep
Keep it quiet
Make it bleed
Found a best friend in isolation
Found a comfortable replacement
Saying "Kid, you're born alone, you'll die alone.
Remember, kid, you're born alone, you'll die alone."
A dopamine fiend
In a comatose dream
Somewhere in between
Where you can see the stars
Somewhere you can breathe
(For a moment)
Make it sleep
Keep it quiet
Make it leave
Make it sleep
Keep it quiet
Make it bleed
A dopamine fiend
In a comatose dream
A dopamine fiend
In a comatose dream
Make it sleep
Keep it quiet
Make it leave
Make it sleep
Keep it quiet
Make it bleed
A dopamine fiend
In a comatose dream
A dopamine fiend
In a comatose dream

Solstice (Loser Season)
03:16
|
|||
|
I'm not afraid to die
But this life fucking terrifies me
In this squandered light
I turned my back on who I'm supposed to be
Purpose betrayed
Solstice wasted on
The ghost of the day
In our haunted mind
I never learned to answer
For the sins you can't forgive
And the debts I left unpaid
To the devils that I named
Purpose betrayed
Solstice wasted on
The ghost of the day
In our haunted mind
(Every day) x16
Purpose betrayed
Solstice wasted on
The ghost of the day
In our haunted mind
Purpose betrayed
Solstice wasted on
The ghost of the day
In our haunted mind

Swallowing Flames
04:16
|
|||
|
We were swallowing flames
So effortlessly effervescent
Stylishly depressed and desperate
We were busted lipped and bleary eyed
And too afraid to go outside
And I
Am terrified of small talk
So I turn my fucking phone off
To hide from everyone and everything
I do not mean to be this way, I swear
I'm not better, but I'm getting there
We were calming our brains
And looking for a place to hide
Crossfaded under Christmas lights
We were all too blessed with emptiness
Our monuments to long regret
And I
Am terrified of small talk
So I turn my fucking phone off
To hide from everyone and everything
I do not mean to be this way, I swear
I'm not better, but I'm getting there
We were running our mouths
In the gasoline glow
Counting chemtrails in denial
Of the endings we called home
Long before the prose crawled down our throats
To lace the truth like it didn't hurt
We'll taste the proof of all the things that we deserve

Devouring Heights
02:04
|
|||
|
The ache lingers heavy
A nuance around your neck
Don't know what to say
Hit the deck
Forever in a nightmare
Meandering bodies drifting 'round
Pay a penny to stare
Steal your flesh by the pound
Time is fleeting
A window pane
Sleeting
Ice for veins

Empty Ribs
03:53
|
|||
|
I watched it dance through the dust
In cathedrals they thought
Would stand the test of time
But there's no time here
(Anymore)
In a fevered mind
I've been counting these days
Hate the past too much to miss it
Hated growing up ashamed of all I was
That I'd never become
And I hope someday I can say that I'm done
That I'm giving up
On everything that I'm supposed to be
I'm scared that I've forgotten me
I don't
Wanna die before I see the things
I'd swear that I was born to see
God damn it got the best of me
I know
I'd let it burn in the light
Of the ruins I might
Try to build into my home
But there's no home here
In these empty ribs
Where I'd make my cage
I hate the world too much to save it
Hated everything I've ever come to touch
That I loved too much
And hope someday I can say that I'm done
That I'm giving up
On everything that I'm supposed to be
I'm scared that I've forgotten me
I don't
Wanna die before I see the things
I'd swear that I was born to see
God damn it got the best of me
I know
I know
I know
I know
When the rusted bell rings
When the sirens sing
I don't wanna be anything
I don't wanna be anything
I don't wanna be anything
I don't wanna be anything like you

You arrive in the calm like the sky
Silver breath escaping
The awful act of aging
In the golden garden glow
Transfixed and out of style
With your spiderweb thin smile
Told me everything here dies
Falling into fractions
Collapsing through the cracks
Told me everyone here lies
You can trust me if you want to
But I promise I will let you down
You were drawing down a tender moon
Fingertips and scar tissue
If only for a moment
It was perfect
It was perfect
Told me everything here dies
Falling into fractions
Collapsing through the cracks
Told me everyone here lies
You can trust me if you want to
But I promise I will let you down

"I don't believe I've ever seen a group of people more in need of a good time in my entire life."
In that carnival glass
In my colorful veins
It's better this way
It's better this way
In that lavender daze
A mercurial dove
I served it in blood
I served it in blood
That's just the way the fates are played
We would always end here, we would always end dear
Be the chaos you want to see
Let in end in entropy
As all things do
When the colors bleed to black
When it's never coming back again
"My first memory, my oldest memory is dirt in my face underground."
"Some asshole got buried in the dirt. Fuck him."
On my flower traced skin
In my chemical mile
Salvation in sin
Damnation in style
That's just the way the fates are played
We would always end here, we would always end dear
Be the chaos you want to see
Let in end in entropy
As all things do
When the colors bleed to black
When it's never coming back again
Long may I reign
Long may I reign
Until I'm dead and gone again
Until I'm dead and gone again
Long may I reign
Long may I reign
Until I'm dead and gone again
Until I'm dead and gone again
Long may I reign
Long may I reign
Until I'm dead and gone again
Until I'm dead and gone again
Long may I reign
Long may I reign
Until I'm dead and gone again
Until I'm dead and gone again

Bottom of a Downfall
04:03
|
|||
|
At the center of a big world
At the center of it all
At the height of all this hubris
At the bottom of a downfall
All the mana you've been saving
For all the people you can't stand
At the end of all the good times
You thought you'd never see again
If I stay
If I break
Don't take it personally
Please
When I'm somewhere in the wreckage
Of the me I used to be
When the dark
Is coming down
I hope that you'll be brave
I hope that you'll be proud
At the center of the ocean
Where you never learn to swim
For all the water you've been treading
As you're slowly giving in
The crude self portrait you've been painting
Since before you learned to talk
Of the person you were told to be
Someone you never knew at all
If I stay
If I break
Don't take it personally
Please
When I'm somewhere in the wreckage
Of the me I used to be
When the dark
Is coming down
I hope that you'll be brave
I hope that you'll be proud
All the matters of heart
That you wore on your sleeve
All the blood on your hands
And on your tongue between your teeth
Bring me to my knees
If I stay
If I break
Don't take it personally
Please
When I'm somewhere in the wreckage
Of the me I used to be
When the dark
Is coming down
I hope that you'll be brave
I hope that you'll be proud

Phantasmagoric
04:11
|
|||
|
We were starstruck by
The end of time
Close your eyes
It'll be all right
It'll only hurt for a little while
Keep warm in the light
Of all the warning signs
It's okay if you're horrified
We all are, the world's on fire
Let the glitter and the glass rain down
To the asphalt and the ashes
To the marrow and the atoms
With the last of my phantasmagoric fits
The addiction of my reveries
My mal adaptive daydreams
Let the last laugh come
When the punchline's gone
With aching lungs we're barely breathing
Something left to face the feeling
In archangel eyes
In a cold night sky
Burning suns will never grow up
Give me something to be made of
Let the glitter and the glass rain down
To the asphalt and the ashes
To the marrow and the atoms
With the last of my phantasmagoric fits
The addiction of my reveries
My mal adaptive daydreams
Honey, we're a slow necrosis
We'll eat the world alive
Only the worst survive
We're the ever crawling calm corrosion
Quixotic parasites
In a waking afterlife
Let the glitter and the glass rain down
To the asphalt and the ashes
To the marrow and the atoms
With the last of my phantasmagoric fits
The addiction of my reveries
My mal adaptive daydreams

Lost Light
03:01
|
|||
|
You were screaming at the gods
You were howling at the moon
You were hungry for the hollow truth
In the losses we confessed
In a February breath
Where the silence said "There's nothing left."
We were aching for something
All these medicated nothings
All the words we meant but never said
All the things we dreamed but never did
In lost light we're drifting
Up through the valley
Where it all went up in smoke
Sang what a fucking joke
We were stumbling through the snow
Dumb, drunk, and freezing cold
On the hallowed ground where nothing grows
And I hate this fucking town
And this overwhelming doubt
And this ever growing body count
We were aching for something
All these medicated nothings
All the words we meant but never said
All the things we dreamed but never did
In lost light we're drifting
Up through the valley
Where it all went up in smoke
Sang what a fucking joke
We were aching for something
All these medicated nothings
All the words we meant but never said
All the things we dreamed but never did
In lost light we're drifting
Up through the valley
Where it all went up in smoke
Sang what a fucking joke

Changeling
03:24
|
|||
|
A masquerade of errors
Silhouette of social poise
In the soft mind of a changeling child
In a hurricane of noise
Walked me slow into a nightmare
That I couldn't comprehend
They brought me low into the water
When I was drowning on dry land
I never understood the consequence
All the passing blows to innocence
Out of place and hypnotized
For all the havoc I supplied
To be the bad dream given guidance
From the conscience of defiance
We were soaring something lovely
With the stars so far below me
Blessed be to Dionysus
Did you ever understand?
You were sowing something flawless
Tongue in cheek and out of hand
Dressed in fire light and confidence
Ambrosia on your lips
There was honey in your arrogance
For the whisper on your skin
I never understood the consequence
All the passing blows to innocence
Out of place and hypnotized
For all the havoc I supplied
To be the bad dream given guidance
From the conscience of defiance
We were soaring something lovely
With the stars so far below me
Where nectar rained soft in your hair
Blissed and wishing, unaware
Of all the fragile things
You were born for
And all the perfect things
You'll destroy before you're done
Nothing says the party's over
Like "The world forgot your name."
Nothing ventured but our golden years
Nothing gained along the way

Pine Moon Virginia
My name is Molly, and I am Pine Moon.
I learned to sing before I learned to speak.
My songs explore
growing up as a queer person in the American south, the struggles of being neurodivergent, and the general process of becoming your own person.
These often manifest as haunting vignettes of mist soaked towns in the Appalachian Mountains, and visions of the end of time.
