Songs, lyrics, and quotes that make you feel a little less alone. Or that just make you feel.

Hey… come on in.

Nothing special you need to bring with you.
If you showed up a little worn, that’s fine. If you showed up steady, that’s fine too. This ain’t a place asking to arrive a certain way.

We let music set the pace.
Catch up when you’re ready.

This is Ink Radio.
I’m here.

i am a demanding creature. i am selfish and cruel and extremely unreasonable. but i am your servant. when you starve i will feed you; when you are sick i will tend you. i crawl at your feet. for you alone i will be weak.

From the ashes I was reborn free
And from the grave I was rebuilt by what broke me

Until the ICE occupation of Minneapolis ends we will be giving all proceeds from merch and Bandcamp music sales to isuroon.org who are directly supporting the Somali community through this

not all love is gentle. sometimes it’s gritty and dirty and possessive, sometimes it’s not supposed to be careful or soft at all. sometimes it feels like teeth.

perhaps this is what the stories meant when they called somebody heartsick. your heart and your stomach and your whole insides felt empty and hollow and aching.

This planet's made a slave to corruption.
It's getting harder and harder for me to function.

Nobody can hear
The words that I'm screaming
No more lies if I disappear
Just one less light on the chandelier

Promised you'd bottle a cure
An elixir
If our obsession is loving
Then we’re drinking

I won't bend and break to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody

I keep waiting for death to take me
I keep hoping for you to save me

Be a force for good in the world if you can.
After that, be a wrathful sea witch or an avenging shadow of the old forest, or something cool like that.

to love someone is firstly to confess: i'm prepared to be devastated by you.

i will be wild. i will be brutal. i will encircle you and conquer you. i will be more powerful than your boats and your swords and your blood lust. i will be inevitable.

You are not alone.
Find your community.
Find them in libraries, taverns, and art stores.
Find them in haunted mansions and the ruins of crumbling castles.
Find them in dark mossy forests, shambling in the gloom between trees and under ancient starlight.

We can be harsh critics of our own work, and sometimes it can be tough to believe we should make something exist if it doesn't feel right, or it doesn't feel perfect.

But the art that exists is always better than the art that does not.

Create. And then keep creating. 😁

Whether you draw, or paint, or compose, or mix - whatever form of art you choose to create, make it exist. Bring it to life. Create it in a tangible form that can be enjoyed.

It need not be perfect. It might need work. It might serve as practice. It might even remain unfinished.

Just create. 😁

Your daily fortune:
Don't hide your light from the world. We need it now more than ever to brighten the darkness.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stay soft in a world that keeps asking you to harden up.

Pay attention to what steadies you — a quiet moment, a voice, a song — and keep those things close. They ain’t escapes; they’re anchors.

I play along with the life signs anyway.

But I hope to god you don't know this feeling.
