Drifter 03:40
Kiss me like you want me like you know me remember my face I was just a memory until you found me and gave me a name Now I am the whispers in your walls the echoes in the halls I'm the shadow by your bed A chill in the air (ooh) the raise of your hair I'm your anchor from this world to the next And all I know is I don't want this to end (Ooh) I'll haunt you Like a spirit Misty drifter I love you Till the very end And we'll begin again We'll begin again

Thinner 03:58
(Thinner) Sink further into the floor My body's heavy, head is soar I'm lost Eyes bigger than they appear I'm floating in the atmosphere I'm gone Don't wanna be lost But I lost myself so long ago Don't wanna be here But here is where I made a home Now I'm listening to all the sweet sounds on the radio Feeding into all of those stereotypes I wish that I was thinner Oh I wish that I was prettier Wish my skintone wasn't pictured as the monsters on your media (ah) Monsters on your tv Am I really that scary I wish that I was smaller Thank god I'm not taller I wanna be invisible Need to be invisible Do they see me Can they see me (ah) Do they hear me Do they wanna get to know me Do my words even matter Do my words even matter (Yeah oh ah) Or are you listening to All the sweet sounds on the radio Feeding into all of your stereotypes I wish that I was thinner Oh I wish that I was prettier Wish my skintone wasn't pictured as the monsters on your media (ah) on the radio Feeding into all of your stereotypes I wish that I was thinner Oh I wish that I was prettier Wish my skintone wasn't pictured as the monsters on your media (ah) Sweet sound Sweet sound Oh oh Oh oh ah Oh oh ah

I like you a lot I dig your vibe It's so unfair How you're sitting over there Unbothered You see the world's at a state You seem unfazed All in your head In your own lane Unbothered Can I be like you I wanna be like you Do the things you do Wanna be like , wanna be like As the world's in flames I feel I'm going insane Does it even matter Does it even matter I can stare at you all day You don't know my name Does it even matter Does it even matter What is the point of worrying It's all a game It's as real as you and me But how real are we Can you show me your ways I'm obsessed with your energy Let it rain down on me Rain down on me Can I be like you I wanna be like you Think the way you do Wanna be like Wanna be like As the world's in flames I feel I'm going insane Does it even matter Does it even matter Wanna be on your wave You don't know my name Does it even matter Does it even matter Be like you Be like you Be like you Feel the way you do Be like you Wanna be like Wanna be like

Willow 03:48
She's so lovely Like the smell of earth when it rains She knows my pain She's my medicine She's so dreamy Like the humming birds in the breeze The pollinating bees She has purpose She's my favorite song I need to know her I wanna sing along Wanna sing along She's my reflection in the sand She'll hold my hand Until it's time to fly Willow tree She is me She's everything I wish to be (Oh) willow tree She Is me She's everything I wish to be She's so lovely The way she sways in the night The moonlight Reflection of her eyes She's so calming The sound of her voice When she tells me That you're worth it all She's so pretty The bark of ebony And her hair, my favorite autumn leaves She's my reflection in the sand But I can't hold her hand Cause I'm afraid to fly Willow tree She is me She's everything I wish to be (Oh) willow tree She Is me She's everything I wish to be She's so lovely

Run in circles roll around Don't you feel dizzy tell me you miss me, tell me And you can catch me in the lost and found That's where they left me That's where you'll find me Floating above ground Nobody knows life's little game Running in circles in a maze Playing make believe til the end of days Playing make believe til the end of days Wake me when the skies are lovely When the stars above me Smell like rain Kiss me Where my soul is bleeding Tell me I mean something And the moon knows my name Knows my name Knows my name (Mmmhmmm) But don't you worry don't you cry We are all special Yes every one of us I'm starting to learn That in the blink of an eye You will awaken And you'll realize you're brighter than the sun Nobody feels their worth Longing to feel so bad that it hurts ( oh) Searching for answers for their flames to burn Searching for answers for their flames to burn (Oh) Wake me when the skies are lovely When the stars above me Smell like rain Kiss me Where my soul is bleeding Tell me I mean something And the moon knows my name Knows my name Knows my name Knows my name Knows my name Are we special Are we special Are we special Is this by design Can you tell me Can you tell me what makes me one of a kind (oooo) Wake me when the skies are lovely When the stars above me Smell like rain (Oh) Kiss me Where my soul is bleeding Tell me I mean something And the moon knows my name Knows my name The moon knows my name Knows my name The moons knows my name Knows my name (Mmmmmmhmmm)

Come to me Tell me your secrets I'll keep them I know all of your secrets Your deepest fears I promise I won't hurt you I promise I won't hurt you Am I a dream or am I real Do you know where you are Oh you've come so far Oh you've come so far Am I a dream or am I real Do you know where you are Oh you've come so far Oh you've come so far

Stardust 06:31
How could you be living when you lock yourself away put your guard up We take more than we give and wonder why we're always down on our luck Stop turning off the light inside of you before you miss your message But keep your eyes on the road enjoy the scenery The adventure We are Stardust We are blazin' If you have a choice choose to be amazing Be amazing Be amazing ( oooh) Be amazing All of these opinions but what about you What do you say ( we're so distracted) It's as if someone could tell you night were day and you'd thing night were day We live in fear that we don't have the key but don't want the key We let others unlock our minds Tell us who we need to be But we are Stardust We are blazin' if you have a choice choose to be amazing Be amazing Be amazing (ooohh) Be amazing Be amazing In this world full of normal I come to grips that I am weird But in reality I realize I'm not from here See the murder and the hate, all the rioting Rather grab your phone take a pic than volunteer Addicted the drama so pretend to lend an ear Numb to the pain so pretend to be sincere We pretend to be sincere Go to work, come home, and then we go to sleep Wake up, wipe our eyes, take a shower, and repeat Got ideas in our mind that seem too far to reach Living in this programmed reality You wanna live your life but you're so quick to hand it over So they tell you live a little and you drink and you smoke Is that really what you want, a thought of your own How you livin’ life with other people in control We are Stardust We are blazin' If you have a choice choose to be amazing We are Stardust We are blazin' If you have a choice choose to be amazing Be amazing Be amazing (ohhhh) Be amazing

about

On March 15, 2024, Grimalkin is releasing Tiara & Andrew's album, "How Real Are We?"

How Real Are We? tells the story of someone going through a metamorphosis. We go through so many changes and eras in our lifetime and this album paints the picture of just a chapter in remembering who you are. It's no secret Tiara & Andrew as a duo and as humans have had quite a past couple of years. With them going full time as musicians, to them becoming broke and hustling with Instacart to make money, Tara's mom being diagnosed with breast cancer, and their album being lost due to software failing at a studio. Tiara and Andrew both pushed through as hard as they could to continue to create, even when that meant starting over. What became of it was a masterpiece and triumph of stories formatted in songs for the world to relate to.

Tiara & Andrew are a married Alternative Folk-pop duo based out of the countryside of Virginia. Their haunting yet ethereal sound creates a cinematic atmosphere.
