lyrics: The other side The other side “There's nothing here,” he said “Nothing much,” he said “I'm reading books,” he said But then that's all he said Dreams of being known The only one, alone But for all he knows there's nothing here He said “There's something here,” she said “Something great,” she said “Already here,” she said “You just can't quite see it yet” Electricity flows Unwilling, uncontrollable Her eyes fixed on him, oh she knows “There's something here” She said And to her right In the meadow sun "I've been warning you, It's already begun" Green sweater nodded to her younger one And she sighed into her coffee mug "There's another side and it's the only one Until you learn, this will never be done" There's always another side You won't know the other side There's always another side You won't know the other side There's always another side You won't know the other side There's always another side You won't know the other side

Slip Away 02:45
lyrics: Am I weaker than those before me Who take it to the chest and move on Because I zoom in where I want Oh, it’s where I want But I know that girl is out there I can knock on her door Say welcome back, you’re up now No, I can’t tell you how much more But I do get to slip away In a room, in a corner without you But I do get to slip away, slip away But I do get to slip away In a room, in a corner without you But I do get to slip away, slip away And be with you But I do get to slip away In a room, in a corner without you But I do get to slip away, slip away But I do get to slip away In a room, in a corner without you But I do get to slip away, slip away And be with you I do get to slip away, I do get to slip away, slip away And be with you

Tiger 03:20
lyrics: Will you bite into every song Like restaurants and media Will the words be what you become Will you see when the danger comes What once was fun and now caution Will you know it’s too late to run Too late to run And like tigers in the night, You’ll bring your nightmare to life For the rest of your whole life You will either die or fight Come on, tiger, you know The prophecies you make and bleed The habits make you roar and scream Come on, tiger, you know Take me higher, you know Come on, tiger, you know The prophecies you make and bleed The habits make you roar and scream Come on, tiger, you know Take me higher, you know

lyrics: A long time I’ve known you So now I’d like to meet you Two hours after I asked Two hours, it fell down and left The fever it passed Thought of you and your years of dirty blood All the other ones never get out of But you broke every odd I thought of who I am, who I have become In a body I'm trying to outrun But it's telling me something I tried to make us something I tried to make us something great Cuz if I die and we were nothing I die and it was all in vain I won't let us down I won't let us doubt We're something great now I won't let us down I won't let us doubt We're something great now I thought of you and the way I fell in love All the other ones never get to touch This high I won't give up So I choose you cuz you're the one I want Going down in me saying “We're not done” I look down, your eyes look up I tried to make us something I tried to make us something great Cuz if I die and we were nothing I die and it was all in vain Oh, I won't let us down I won't let us doubt We're something great now I won't let us down I won't let us doubt We're something great now A long time I’ve known you So now I’d like to meet you I tried to make us something I tried to make us something great Cuz if I die and we were nothing I die and it was all in vain I won't let us down I won't let us doubt We're something great now I won't let us down I won't let us doubt We're something great now

What to Do 04:55
lyrics: It’s part DNA, part how I was raised Fully how I spend everyday Loving the way the memories play Caught up in the ways that you say But what do you do when you don’t know what to do? You stay What do you do when you don’t know what to do? You stay But does it make your heart beat every day, every day Double over and scream every day, every day Tell me what you can’t see every day, every day Tell me you can’t see me It’s part loving you and not loving me, too Hiking through this long human haze Losing my mind and finding that I’m Something more when I see your face But what do you do when you don’t know what to do? You stay What do you do when you don’t know what to do? You stay But does it make your heart beat every day, every day Double over and scream every day, every day Tell me what you can’t see every day, every day Tell me you can’t see me Does it make your heart beat every day, every day Double over and scream every day, every day Tell me what you can’t see every day, every day Tell me you can’t see me What do you do when you don’t know what to do? What do you do when you don’t know what to do? What do you do when you don’t know what to do? You stay And watch life pass you by that way But does it make your heart beat every day, every day Double over and scream every day, every day Tell me what you can’t see every day, every day Tell me you can’t see me Tell me you can’t Tell me you can’t Does it make your heart beat every day, every day Double over and scream every day, every day Tell me what you can’t see every day, every day Tell me you can’t see me Tell me you can’t see me Tell me you can’t see me Tell me you can’t see me Tell me it was a dream Tell me you don’t think of me Tell me you’re not lying Does it make your heart beat every day, every day Double over and scream every day, every day Tell me what you can’t see every day, every day Tell me you can’t see me

Body's Ocean 04:08
lyrics: She said There’s something here and it’s in me now Can’t seem to, don’t want to let go or get out So inside you I’ll try to go somehow I won’t leave you behind I won’t leave you behind I won’t leave you behind I won’t leave So won’t you give me time Cuz first I’ll lose my mind And I won’t notice, I won’t realize Won’t you give me time Cuz first I’ll lose my mind And I won’t notice, I won’t realize So won’t you give me time I won’t leave you behind I won’t leave you behind So won’t you give me time I won’t leave you behind She learned through her closed ceiling eyes And one day when she rips out to cry Oh, through a body’s ocean she will smile You gave a gift I didn’t find I made it cuz you broke my mind I won’t leave you behind I won’t leave you behind So won’t you give me time I won’t leave you behind I won’t leave you behind So won’t you give me time I won’t leave you behind And I’m standing right where you’re at Cuz if you haven’t figured it all out yet I’m not at all and I’m just like you and I do not know what to do But I won’t leave you behind I won’t leave you behind So won’t you give me time I won’t leave you behind She learned through her closed ceiling eyes And one day when she rips out to cry Oh, through a body’s ocean she will smile You gave a gift I didn’t find I made it cuz you broke my mind I won’t leave you behind I won’t leave you behind So won’t you give me time I won’t leave you behind I won’t leave you behind So won’t you give me time I won’t leave you behind So won’t you give me time Cuz first I’ll lose my mind And I won’t notice, I won’t realize So won’t you give me time Cuz first I’ll lose my mind And I won’t notice, I won’t realize So won’t you give me time I won’t leave you behind I won’t leave you behind So won’t you give me time I won’t leave you behind She learned through her closed ceiling eyes And one day when she rips out to cry Oh, through a body’s ocean she will smile You gave a gift I didn’t find I made it cuz you broke my mind I won’t leave you behind I won’t leave you behind So won’t you give me time I won’t leave you behind I won’t leave you behind So won’t you give me time I won’t leave you behind

Pilot Light 05:23
lyrics: So much heart, such a little kid I remember when you told me Like anything great, you won’t like it initially I remember when you told me Eventually it grows on you, and then you see I never expected this Try really hard, was all I ever did So much heart, such a little kid I heard a whispering Oh, I have nothing to do with this Already art, I’m just listening To find you To feel you Surrender to all I knew Goodbye to The lies, you Can’t seem to Escape from them To find you To feel you Surrender to all I knew Goodbye to The lies, you Can’t seem to Escape from them I thought I knew, but I never did I thought I choose, but then all of it came to nothing Needed you, but I never did This world I knew wasn’t all of it I thought I knew, but I never did I thought I choose, but then all of it came to nothing Needed you, but I never did This world I knew wasn’t all of it I thought I knew, but I never did Dancing in the darkness Feared it’s gone, but just a catalyst It still burns, just a little dim Let me become human In every song, another side of it I made a world, a hell and a heaven To find you To feel you Surrender to all I knew Goodbye to The lies, you Can’t seem to Escape from them To find you To feel you Surrender to all I knew Goodbye to The lies, you Can’t seem to Escape from them I thought I knew, but I never did I thought I choose, but then all of it came to nothing Needed you, but I never did This world I knew wasn’t all of it I thought I knew, but I never did I thought I choose, but then all of it came to nothing Needed you, but I never did This world I knew wasn’t all of it And to the top of the world, inside Already there but we climb, we climb Grain of salt and mission in life Greatest game and the pilot light I remember when you told me Like anything great, you won’t like it initially I remember when you told me Eventually it grows on you, and then you see I thought I knew, but I never did I thought I choose, but then all of it came to nothing Needed you, but I never did This world I knew wasn’t all of it I thought I knew, but I never did I thought I choose, but then all of it came to nothing Needed you, but I never did This world I knew wasn’t all of it And to the top of the world, inside Already there but we climb, we climb Grain of salt and mission in life Greatest game and the pilot light

about

Welcome to Oakland, the world inside Little Girl's mind. A landscape mashup of A. A. Milne and East Coast USA inspiration awaits while you crack open the spine of Millaze's first book, The Malaise. Akin to J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" stepping before LOTR, "The Malaise" is the pre-cursor book before The Dialectic.

The Malaise begins with TvW: Teaser vs. Warning. The Malaise is a 3-album adventure into individual stories following the Little Girl's descent into Oakland, the dream world in her mind. These individual stories were inspired by Millaze's childhood, when she and her siblings sat down with the neighborhood kids to listen to her father tell individual, fictional stories about Bilbo Baggins - stories he crafted on the spot to entertain the bright-eyes in that suburban basement game room.

TvW's individual storytelling follows Little Girl's first forays into experimenting with dialectic reasoning; she begins to peel back from seeing the world in black/white.
