Chrysalism, by Milk & Bone

Chrysalism

by Milk & Bone

supported by

Lorenzo Thrilling electro-pop bringing a personal edge to the saccharine sounds that leap from the songs. Moments feel otherworldly as they are held up by lofty synths and beats, almost as if they are from a lush and dreamy place away from reality. This is further aided by the striking pop-centric vocals that are blissfully sweet, even when when processed

The greatest weight that ties Chrysalism down from floating away are the lyrics that bite hard as they recall poignant love, heartbreak, and longing

You’re the only firefly A glimpse of hope into the night Time is not on our side No future for our kind Fuck it let’s enjoy the ride Paint my body with your kiss I’m the canvas, you’re the artist You’re my favorite sport Cardio and core Be my coach and I’ll abide Be my coach and I’ll Be my coach and I’ll abide I’m holding on to less and less As you take more and more space In my head in my heart in my nights in my days I’m fucked I told myself this is the last time This is it I’m not moving I’m not going You’re gonna have to remove me with a truck I’m holding on to less and less As you take more and more space In my head in my heart in my nights in my days I’m fucked I told myself this is the last time This is it I'm not moving I’m not going You’re gonna have to remove me with a truck Love stabbed me in the heart Found me a love now we apart Love stabbed me in the heart The bigger the love, the taller the fall The bigger the love, the taller the fall The bigger the love, the taller the fall The bigger the love, the taller the fall Standing in a blazing fire Nothing burns like my desire Never saw it coming Love for me is ruined How could I not read the signs Left the country not my mind I’m so lonely you seem fine You’re my favorite song Radio is on Every track just makes me cry I’m holding on to less and less As you take more and more space In my head in my heart in my nights in my days I’m fucked I told myself this is the last time This is it I’m not moving I’m not going You’re gonna have to remove me with a truck Love stabbed me in the heart Found me a love now we apart Love stabbed me in the heart The bigger the love, the taller the fall The bigger the love, the taller the fall The bigger the love, the taller the fall The bigger the love, the taller the fall

I hate it when I call you up On a Sunday night That means it’s Monday for you And weekdays are made for pulling through They are for things that normal people do Those days don’t mean a thing to me ‘Cause you’re away from me I’m tied up to this time zone And most days should be for holding you To do the things that normal people do (Do the things that normal people do) I’m older, not wiser My eyes are darker The time is slipping The memory isn’t fading Need to keep going Help me clear the blur I’m coming over, across that border Got nothing to declare Except for this sharp despair Coming to you completely bare Let’s start off from where we were Please just don’t marry her All I’m really really asking Is you wait for me a little bit longer Put the phone down and grab my hand I wanna scream with you Empty my lungs in the skate pool Meet me up on Garden street I feel like digging up old memories I’m older, not wiser My eyes are darker The time is slipping The memory isn’t fading Need to keep going Help me clear the blur I’m coming over, across that border Got nothing to declare Except for this sharp despair Coming to you completely bare Let’s start off from where we were Please just don’t marry her All I’m really really asking Is you wait for me a little bit longer

Empty roads broken glass The light of diners open late All of my years came to pass Beneath the joys I’m not so great Pick me up where you dropped me off My safe words they don’t work out here Your references come from movies I can’t get used to these memories I’m thinking violence I’m thinking soothe Not ever present Neither are you Talk to me pretty Talk to me blue I wanna bleed out Feelings for you Tried to crawl into your palm My need to morph was bound to fall You burnt the script with such calm My plans for us were left to stall All the love notes that you wrote Painted a picture that wasn't for me Miss the shape we would form Felt protected, shrank too small I’m thinking violence I’m thinking soon Not ever present Neither are you Talk to me pretty Talk to me blue I wanna bleed out Feelings for you I’m thinking violence I’m thinking soon Not ever present Neither are you Talk to me pretty Talk to me blue I wanna bleed out Feelings for you I’m thinking violence I’m thinking soon Not ever present Neither are you Talk to me pretty Talk to me blue I wanna bleed out Feelings for you
4.	Whirlpool 03:51	lyrics	buy track
Whirlpool of salt for you I don’t owe you tears of blue You’ve slipped past me before I won’t let you fly once more My tree is dying on me again Thought I’d handled every care My need for warmth is dying out A part of me says walk the line It took a while on the dark side I've punched some walls but I’m alright I caught some butterflies Drove a couple miles Killed the vibe Held my head high Another day another red flag Need to connect but all I know is fight I used to know my side Forgot I was alive I’m not right Just a little wild I still learn, I still crawl I still trip, sometimes fall I’m a woman, I’m a kid Open heart with no lid I will hurt I will bruise I will win sometimes lose No matter what it takes I will be there someday Closing the door feels soon The deepest cut right in the middle of June Impossible to read His every fear became my reason to breathe It took a while on the dark side I've punched some walls but they’re alright I caught some butterflies Drove a couple miles Killed the vibe Held my head high Another day another jetlag Need to connect but all I know is fight I used to know your side Forgot I was alive I’m not right Just a little wild I still learn, I still crawl I still trip, sometimes fall I’m a woman, I’m a kid Open heart with no lid I will hurt I will bruise I will win sometimes lose No matter what it takes I will be there someday
5.	Time Alone 02:40	lyrics	buy track
I’ve been a bad date for a while I skip dinner and I run out of time No matter when I’m supposed to be Somewhere, I’m nowhere to be seen But don’t read anything into that We’re good I still want you by my side Don’t let me go I know I need to spend a lot of time alone Don’t let me go Don’t give up on all the promises we swore on We swore on I need a break, you give me face I want some space, you plead your case Now tell me how am I supposed to feel When somehow you keep breaking our deal I know that loving me is hard I want the love but won’t lower my guard You must be so fed up and tired Maybe we just played our last card But don’t read anything into that We’re cool I still need you in my life Don’t let me go I know I need to spend a lot of time alone Don’t let me go Don’t give up on all the promises we swore on We swore on

Another day Another night Dig up my head from the sand Don’t wanna sleep I’d rather fight I forget who to call I picked my battles Missed some angles But I learn from the rain The sun will rise when it’s able Drive me insane Sing my songs Was it in vain All that I cried along to Left a note on the window Little thoughts and reminders, after a storm it always gets better It’s just a tear on your elbow It’s just a bump on the road, a scratch on your cheek, a crack in the pavement Woke up in tears But I could hear The subtle whisper of light Broke up with sadness Just in time to Figure out it was night Packed an overnight bag With just the remainder of my pride The moon will rise when it needs to The sun will rise when it’s able Drive me insane Sing my songs Was it in vain All that I cried along to No turning back now No purple tears No piggyback no more The sun will rise when it’s able Left a note on the window Little thoughts and reminders, after a storm it always gets better It’s just a tear on your elbow It’s just a bump on the road, a scratch on your cheek, a crack in the pavement (Drive me insane) Left a note on the window (Sing my songs) Little thoughts and reminders, after a storm it always gets better (Was it in vain) It’s just a tear on your elbow (All that I cried along to) It’s just a bump on the road, a scratch on your cheek, a crack in the pavement (No turning back now) Left a note on the window (No purple tears) Little thoughts and reminders, after a storm it always gets better (No piggyback no more) It’s just a tear on your elbow It’s just a bump on the road, a scratch on your cheek, a crack in the pavement
7.	Green Dot 02:32	lyrics	buy track
It’s been a week and we haven’t talked A part of me was left there on the sidewalk I see the green dot, wish you’d hit me up Almost a year and I’m still so messed up I need to figure how to make it solo So far it’s hard they say it’ll make me stronger I’ve always been surrounded by a clan At least I’m more acquainted with my anger I’m so tired of this shit Wish I could forget your lyrics Stuck inside your labyrinth Disconnect me from your orbit I’m so tired of your shit Wish I could forget your promise Stuck inside a chrysalis Liberate me from your orbit It’s been a year since you broke my heart No matter where I look your shadow just follows How do I shed every part of myself Rebirth again care for the woman I was then I even wear the matching shoes you got us Can’t seem to give them up who’d be worthy of them Guess I’ll just have to burn down this apartment Make a claim out of this dirty ash I’m so tired of this shit Wish I could forget your lyrics Stuck inside your labyrinth Disconnect me from your orbit I’m so tired of your shit Wish I could forget your promise Stuck inside a chrysalis Liberate me from your orbit

The summer has ended My hands are freezing I'm on 20mgs I need some peace and quiet I've been rogue A lonesome ghost Driving fast in the car Forgot there were passers by Kimmy’s blasting in my Mercedes I borrowed from dad I think I’m sad No I don't want any part of life alone I’m bored Please give me someone to write songs for No I don't want any part of life alone I’m bored Please give me someone to write songs for When I’m up then I’m gone Won’t ever find me at home Kiwi fruit on my tongue Allergic reaction is bound No one around Betrayal in my bag Give me a reason to brag Someone’s thinking of me My ears won’t stop ringing in E Love a good key No I don't want any part of life alone I’m bored Please give me someone to write songs for No I don't want any part of life alone I’m bored Please give me someone to write songs for Dug a little deeper found a little love Just enough to make it until I find some more Force myself out of here step outside the door I need tons of honey, covering my floors Dug a little deeper found a little love Just enough to make it until I find some more Force myself out of here step outside the door I need tons of honey, covering my floors No I don't want any part of life alone I’m bored Please give me someone to write songs for No I don't want any part of life alone I’m bored Please give me someone to write songs for
9.	Object of Fun 03:10	lyrics	buy track
He prefers when I’m perfectly young Crazy glue on my tongue Seeing me in my dresses and stones I’m an object of fun But I exist in full I’m a person of earth too I wake up in the morning I equal all my sums My face clears when I cry All my memories lie I’m a person of earth too I grow old and I die Never blind to the bind of my use I’m aware of my kind Fighting punches in pools made of glass Eyes on me when I lose But I exist in full I’m a person of earth too I wake up in the morning I equal all my sums My face clears when I cry All my memories lie I’m a person of earth too I grow old and I die I appear heavenly in the dark The light bounces on me Steering clear from my corners of gloom I feel safe when I move It is perfectly fine to cry In the middle of the night And I’m hoping for more Like a dog craves the bone Guess I missed all the signs And I swallowed your lines I hold onto my sword But I exist in full I’m a person of earth too I wake up in the morning I equal all my sums My face clears when I cry All my memories lie I’m a person of earth too I grow old and I die But I exist in full I’m a person of earth too I wake up in the morning I equal all my sums My face clears when I cry All my memories lie I’m a person of earth too I grow old and I die

I hear the news and my gut drops to my toes I’m sick I’m sour I need some type of lull But the room is full of people Hate this place the music’s awful I could have bet my mother’s life on our love You made me trust you, draw a future for us But in a heartbeat turned around A better offer called your line Slide your fingers through my hair Take me back to the house You’d drive to when you were sad I don’t wanna win this race Won't be letting go of your hand Dig my nails in the blue of your veins Don’t make me pack up my heart I don’t wanna be this way But I don’t know how to deal My heart is hooked and yours has healed I’ve never hurt this much before I wanna go back in time for more I’m so sick of all the tears My cheeks are soaked and yours are clear I’ve never loved this hard before I need more time I need you more I need more time I need you more My skin is craving every bit of your touch The way we played, so soft just twisted enough A million kisses shared in bed We never slept we laughed instead Slide your fingers through my hair Take me back to the house You’d drive to when you were sad I don’t wanna win this race Won't be letting go of your hand Dig my nails in the blue of your veins Don’t make me pack up my heart I don’t wanna be this way But I don’t know how to deal My heart is hooked and yours has healed I’ve never hurt this much before I wanna go back in time for more I’m so sick of all the tears My cheeks are soaked and yours are clear I’ve never loved this hard before I need more time I need you more I need more time I need you more I need more time I need you more I need more time I need you more
11.	A Little Better Every Time 04:06	lyrics	buy track
Doors are finally open wide Still looking for a way out At least I got myself back Surrounded but still lonely Slowly Getting better when it’s pouring down A little better every time We’re better off Alone I don’t want your love If it means I have to let go of What I worked for My throne What makes me whole Never agreed to morph right into you Midnight waiting for a sign A temporary set back Flashbacks rolling up my spine Feels like I’m losing my mind Getting better with the breakdowns A little better every time We’re better off Alone I don’t want your love If it means I have to let go of What I worked for My throne What makes me whole Never agreed to morph right into you I’m greater on My own (Getting better with the breakdowns) I don’t need your love Just some time for me to let go of (I’m still finding my own balance) What makes me broken & sore (What we had was out of a dream) Just some stronger bones Shouldn't agree to fall into a void (Just the right amount of crazy) Doors are finally open wide Still looking for a way out At least I got myself back I think I’m on the right track Slowly Getting better when it’s pouring down A little better every time
12.	City Girls 02:30	lyrics	buy track
City girls with the hair pulled all the way back Funny swirl, inside my head a train track Asked the wind to teach me how to let go Asked the moon to help me feel whole In the tall grass I lost all my expectations It’ll all pass It’s just a greyscaled delusion It’s just a greyscaled delusion It’s just a greyscaled delusion Far from you I lay my head on feathers Morning dew pearling on a wooden shelter Only girl shielded by the storm and the wind Not a word a few tears came out to play In the tall grass I lost all my expectations It’ll all pass It’s just a greyscaled delusion It’s just a greyscaled delusion It’s just a greyscaled delusion It’s just a greyscaled delusion It’s just a greyscaled delusion It’s just a greyscaled delusion It’s just a greyscaled delusion It’s just a greyscaled delusion It’s just a greyscaled delusion
13.	Worst Year Of My Life 03:06	lyrics	buy track
It’s been a very very very very long year I see it on my face Nothings can replace The months and weeks the swallowed tears The countless times I fell asleep I wish that I could see Beyond what I mean Everything is turning to ashes and I’m longing for you This is the worst year of my life It feels like every day is Gemini in retrograde Almost died on a plane Got dumped on Lake Lane I picked up running I thought it would help me ease the pain It’s just more of the same Everything makes me feel Blue Everything is turning to ashes and I’m longing for you This is the worst year of my life Blue Everything is turning to ashes and I’m longing for you Left my heart in pieces You flew away with the stick of glue Everything is turning to shit The world’s about to go boom This is the worst year of my life Ashes and I’m longing for you This is the worst year of my life

about

Born out of a profound desire to explore the depths of the human heart and reconnect with each other after a pandemic-induced hiatus, Chrysalism marks a departure into an unmistakably pop-forward territory. Its evocative title refers to the feeling of tranquility that comes with being indoors during a thunderstorm, privy to the drama while remaining somewhat removed and untouched. With enthralling vocal harmonies, synth-led music and melodic guitar riffs, the pair explores topics like love, longing and heartbreak from a decidedly more mature perspective, no longer choosing to see themselves as victims of circumstances but rather actors in the storyline of their love lives. Composed and recorded with the help of Micah Jasper (ELIO, Rebecca Black, Slayyyter), a Los Angeles-based producer who shares the duo’s pop sensibilities and references, Chrysalism is a poignant reflection of what it feels like to grow older and come into your own.
