(You're) So DIY
Dima Foxpaws
You always wanna do it yourself But never get nothing done You’re never gonna do it for wealth But never having no fun You’re so lofi So DIY Boy we could make a baby Well, we could try No, I’m not crying It’s just light in my eye You know you look inviting Like a vodka on ice You’re so DIY So simplified MiniDV, monophonic Polysexual life Your natural light Got me feeling tongue tied MIDI drummer is a bummer On supposed to be a fun night You look so pretty with that shotgun mic Hanging from the ceiling like that John Wilkes guy You got this whole room wired for sound Video inverted, converted, upscaled, downscaled, and turned around You always wanna do it yourself But never get nothing done You’re never gonna do it for wealth But never having no fun You’re so DIY And so lofi No we haven’t made a baby Boy, we gotta keep on trying So many tape players None of them work Thank god your daddy’s rich So you don’t have to work So now it’s do or die You’re in the spotlight Dylan went electric But you crave the pop life You made a beat You refuse to quantize Hope the band can play along Although it’s off time Electro chemical spike It got you feeling alright Hey why not just quit the band And make an album to spite You play your hand Lay your cards where they land They take a stand You’re on your own again Mix alcohol with Ativan You always wanna do it yourself But never get nothing done You’re never gonna do it for wealth But never having no fun

"Orchid," or, "How to Bloom in Total Darkness," is the story of a cyclical year that keeps repeating, a dream I can't stop having, and a flower always blooming.
