"MIDI Bunny is the culmination of the efforts of two partners in crime - Composer Cecily Renns and producer Biddy Fox. In this emo-pop EP, these two combine their unique musical talents and styles to tell a story about broken queer love and overcoming past traumas. Filled with Cecily's earnest lyrics, combined with Biddy's meticulous sound sculpting, the MIDI Bunny EP portrays an image of a fragile trans soul; both of our dark, intrusive thoughts and unrelenting humanity alike. I hope you enjoy our album!" - Cecily
"Solidarity is an important virtue among queer people, but especially among transgender people. There is an infamous tendency to throw other trans people under the bus for perceived impurities. We fall into this habit so often that it has almost become an in-joke. But we should remember - it is important for us to uplift each other, even if we are socially awkward, have taboo fixations, or have slightly patchy histories. We have no one else but each other. This record goes out with love to everyone who has ever been cut off from a community due to any of these traits." - biddy

1. moonlight in the mirror
It's like looking at the bottom of an endless pit
You can start to see your reflection in the emptiness
Just a couple seconds more
You're the one that I fell for
A breath takes away my voice
And I can't tell you how I feel
Life is just a series of one trauma after one
You get over one, then another creeps in like a gun
I don't care then anymore
I don't want fear to take away my love for you
Darling, why can't we just try and figure out the next?
I was searching for your face in the moonlight
Don't even know your name
I was trying to listen to your voice
And you're so far away from me today
When I wake up, you are never there
Love, I miss you so much
Please don't leave me alone
I don't need you to save me
I don't need you to love me
I just need you to hold my hands and tell me it'll be be alright
I just need to get away from this place
I just need to go somewhere far away
Dear
Will you follow till the end of it all?
2. ILY RAMONA!!
I always fall down
I get back up again
Get back up again
I'm falling in love again
It's you
And who's to say this time it's true?
I haven't even learned to be normal again
How could I love again?
I need to let go of my past
These things keep haunting me
And you're a different person
So why am I scared?
I guess I'm never coming back!
Try to remind myself
Everything's constant
Nobody ever really knows you
How close am I?
(I KNOW DAMN WELL)
I'm not so strong...
(WHO SAID SO)
I fell for the lies
Love is but a gift
THAT I KNOW ALL TOO WELL!
at least i hope..
3. deacon blues 2: "THE CRIMSON TIDE"
Tear it apart
This bond I'll break down
I feel so much different, suddenly
You are all envy
I wrote too many songs about you
I threw it away
There's nothing I could do
Lights come into view
Home's not too far
And it might leave a scar
But I'll be waiting for you
Forever always
and now all the lights are coming down
my stupid head is in a cloud
and i dont feel right at all in this crowd
I think it’s time for
you and I to leave
cus we got the time to fuck this scene
and I don’t want you to be scared
i always thought of us as more like soldiers in the same army,
or maybe just kids, falling asleep in class
passing notes in detention.
or maybe walter becker and donald fagen,
like when you die i’ll stumble onto stage
looking like I just got out of bed fully dressed,
slouch into my seat in front of my piano,
launch into Deacon Blues,
drink scotch whisky all night long
and die behind the wheel.
4. monster from the BIBLES (with solos & halos)
Change this form
Change who I am
or at least wave hello
Halo
Tear me down
Make me something new
Cause it’s not good enough
This love
I don’t want to be the same
I don’t want to play the game
I want to become the worst kind of person
(when i can’t say anything rational at all)
And you’re just the one I need to try
Someone so fucked up it makes me cry
Put me under binding magic
Captured in your spell
(I want to fall in love with someone who could kill me)
you can turn me into such a mess
taken with the things we all call blessed
turn me into something
fragile, darling!
and all the things they make me say
are comin down like tarot cards
5. ANXTY
Please don't tell me that again
Not again
I can't handle it anymore
And when you say, "We gotta talk"
It's like her all over again
We are shaped by our past traumas
But not defined by them
So I know this time
I won't let you go
Not again
Broken glass and coffee cups
Reflected surfaces in the mirror
When I see my face, I just see you
You again
Broken hearts, abused boundaries
I know it makes you anxious
For me, it's envy
We can be better than our past selves
Let's be fucked up girls together
WHEN I
SAW YOU
I THOUGHT
“SHE’S A LITTLE FUCKED”
BUT I WAS
TOO SCARED
TO TELL YOU
THAT’S SO FUCKING HOT
I KNOW
I’M WEAK
I’M DUMB
I’M A COWARD
AND I’M SCARED THAT I AM FALLING FOR YOU SO FAST
SO I PROMISE YOU
I WILL KEEP YOU SAFE
6. Untitled
I was sitting at the edge of a cliff
A wind blew by and I lost momentum
And as I fell
I thought about all the people who I couldn't tell
"I love you"
And I started thinking about the people who I haven’t thanked yet
Everyone who has supported me
Everyone who’s been there for me
Everyone who has ever loved me
I wanted to tell Bridgette that her music’s worth making
I wanted to tell Cherry that she will find better love
I wanted to tell June I’m sorry for not being there
I wanted to tell all of you I wish I could have stayed
Slowly
Slowly
Slowly I am sinking into a void
Slowly
Slowly I’ll be gone
And nobody will remember my name
Breaking down
Moonlight shines bright
Body found
Will they even know?
Will they bury me as the right gender?
Will they say my deadname at my funeral?
Will they say,
“Oh, Cecily, you had such a bright future ahead of you
But you were too fucked up and selfish to care!”
Sometimes, I wonder about what will happen after I die. I think about people's reactions. I wonder if they will take it well or not. I wonder if they expected it. I wonder if they'll go, "sad but saw it coming." I think about how they'll remember me. Will they remember me as who I am? What will be remembered of [REDACTED]? How will people in the future think of my art, knowing the artist is dead? Will more people care about them in death than in life? Maybe I will simply go completely silent, my lovers and friends never knowing the full truth. Maybe people will say, “good riddance.” Maybe they will be glad to know I’m gone. Maybe the people who I’ve hurt in the past will sigh in relief. Because if you add up all the pain I’ve caused in others, you will want to have me dead as well. I want to inflict pain on others so that they feel something ugly or beautiful. If that means hurting others, that’s what I would do. Can I ever hope to dictate how I will be remembered after death? I hope they remember me. I hope they care. I hope I’m loved. I hope I’m hated. I hope I meant something. And I step away from the edge and regain momentum. The wind blows by and I think to myself. I don’t wanna die!
7. Pop Punk Girlfriend
Will you be my Pop Punk Girlfriend
Don’t leave me alone
Will you see me for who I am
Don't see me as someone else
Don't love anyone but yourself
It’s not about who we were
But who we are right now
Cause you are good the way you are
Yeah, you are
That abuser that you once had will die
And we’ll still be here
I can promise you can be yourself
I don't wanna lose you, friend
I'm sure it'll work out in the end
Will you please be my Pop Punk Girlfriend
Only if you want to
8. Androgyny (Bonus track)
androgyny, well cant you see
i talk so soft and stupidly
thought i was dead, asleep instead
no one to talk to even then
there are these thoughts, come up a lot
too much to say here in a song
put me in skirts, say i'm the worst
i hope it's just your way to flirt
its just routine
im just scared
ill hide in your backyard
i'll just sleep there
i dont know what you mean
i dont care
ill hide in your backyard
follow me there
when we were young i played the Drums
I think I thought about you some
well it was fly, but I wonder why
we're just sat here with our Bud Lights
if you're a little drunk then I'm a lot drunk
and I'm a stupid drunk, and I get sad when I'm drunk
scared to be hurt, your pretty thing in a skirt
i hope it's just your way to flirt
its just routine
im just scared
ill hide in your backyard
i'll just sleep there
i dont know what you mean
i dont care
ill hide in your backyard
follow me there
9. Communication (Bonus track)
i had dreams of altered forms
solitary as a storm
from that youth came you
telepathic truths
in midwinter, stowed away, away, away
but I love
and love
calmness in my synthetic
borders somnocentesis phonecall
to you
help, my mind is wandering
cigarettes and softer things
i don’t talk much, words are cheap
i just wish you’d corner me.
when i say, “go home,”
what i mean’s “don’t go.”
words run dry, but i cant leave, cant leave, cant leave
I love you
I die
calmness in my synthetic
borders somnocentesis phonecall
to you
help, my mind is wandering
cigarettes and softer things
TALK TO ME!!!!
TALK TO ME!!!!
COMMUNICATE!!!!
COMMUNICATE!!!!
