Honey Bear 01:31
Why does my tummy feel funny? Sometimes my tummy feels funny Don't know why I have to be quiet all of the time Sweeter than a pot of a honey Sometimes my tummy feels funny Dont know why I have to be quiet all of the time Like a honey bear reaching for somebody else's hair Like a honey bear reaching for somebody else's hair Why does love feel so funny? Funny Sweeter than a pot of honey: Sticky Sometimes my tummy feels: Bad

Bellagio 02:10
Bellagio The fountain comes round The fountain pours down Bellagio, Trevi, too Bellagio Turn around Do you feel good now? Do you? Tell me that you feel good

Healing 01:54
One moment I found a fit of healing I kept my feet on the ground Looking for my healing Oh the healing I may hope, I may pray For more help to come my way How lucky I feel to hear them calling me
5.
The Others 01:15
Paid an online psychic To tell you The Others lied If your legs don't work Trust that you don't gotta move
6.
I'm not afraid My knees feel good No one to blame I'm not afraid Highlighter High as a kite Firefighter Sharp as a knife Feels right everytime I cut through my own shit like Mack the Knife
7.
Never thought that dreams come true Here's looking at you Never thought that dreams come true Wake up on like nobody else Waiting for boy Waiting for joys Waiting for the human race I don't know what it means to take care of yourself I was only looking to take care of myself
8.
Leaving 00:39
Are you breathing? Are you feeling? Are you sure that you are seeing? I don't know if you are in you Can I trust that you are here too? I am breathing I am seeking I don't know what you believe in Leaving

He was in his room making really weird stuff and I kinda liked it but I thought he was nuts and I never called him He was in his room making weird stuff and I really really liked him cuz I thought he was nuts He was in his room and he was making cool stuff and we got together and enough's enough He was in his bedroom he was making cool stuff and I found people that liked me and I was like enough's enough I went and stayed inside of my room so I could chill because people make me nervous But it's okay But it's okay now Is it okay? Annie, is it okay?

Gone Today 00:47
Why does it sound like something's in your back yard? Why does it sound like something's gone away? Something Is gone today

When I lift up I go dreaming Soundbooth of your dreams
12.
This feeling I can't escape it I can't escape it Realized that coming home is easier than staying away If I could I'd be invisible forever If I could I'd be invisible for good I don't like you I do
13.
Losing Self 01:01
I don't know what to do I've been watching you But I don't know what to do Tell me now Do you miss me?

Unsure of my role I had dreams untold Had some friends to hold Dreaming of me
15.
You with the shit

Wild Sage 01:11
A little patch of wild sage With a log To bury under it

I own my needs, I find them, I get them met World comes to me

about

Mostly a tale of a broken heart with intermittent moments of relief. Recorded at home during much inner toil and trouble using borrowed Korg synthesizers and a computer with a cracked screen.
Highly influenced by jazz. Highly inspired by some sort of fleeting mystery that comes as it pleases and is not to be contained.


"Toil & Trouble is a synth-drenched playground along the borders where pop-psychedelia meets grit and fun"
- Camelia Jade, composer, audio engineer

"Reminds me of Karen Dalton. With AN EDGE"
- Meagan May, musician, songwriter

"The soundtrack to glow worms making friends"
- Ray Collisson, bookstore owner

Dedicated to Denalda Nicole Renae, VanFantom <3
