STORY
déCollage was walking down the street to see Michelle Jupiter’s vintage shop, Space Dust. Adrian saw a gorgeously yummy looking bush and broke a piece off and licked it (with his tongue). Reed watched in jealousy and nibbed off a piece of it to munch on. It had beautiful milky white puss dripping out of its bulbs. It didn’t taste as good as you would think - *but not bad either*. Then their tongues started burning hot hot, shortly after and they got mega scared. Once they reached Space Dust, they promptly called poison control. The Minister of Poison said, “Hey kids, where are your parents?” To which they replied, “We don’t have them with us… we’re grown ups”. “You’re probably gonna be alright, but you should consider going to the hospital,” spouted the Minister of Poison. After much debate, they decided to skip the hospital and ended up playing the show at the Silverlake Lounge with Future Eyes Crystal Choir. Their tongues burned all night, as did their hearts. Amen.

Here's a snippet from a companion zine of poetry I made while making this record. Enjoy!
LYRICS
You brought me here
With your ticket
Aquariums are
Fish prisons
Baby you could be my catfish,
Let me be your dogfish.
You will be my queenfish
Long as I can fend off
Saber the swordfish
Invisible glass walls
Plastic seaweed in my sea
Playing games with my head
An ocean inside of me
You touched my house
You poked the glass
Swordfish finger joust
Fisheez raise your hands
An arm and a leg and a fin cost me,
Hit the hay 2 birds 1 stone half a deck
One deck eye to eye wool on your pie
Grain of salt we swim in your waterbeds
Two inches of glass
Are we strong enough?
They might catch the slow of us
But they can’t catch us all
Swordfish broke the glass
This aquarium’s in the past!
Swim anywhere we want
Ocean has no lanes
Free like a bee is free
You can’t catch me
Free like a bee in the breeze
You can’t catch me
