you're a little old to be chasing young skirts out of boredom your youth was once a gift but it failed to be translated into wisdom maybe in another universe where age is just a number but woe is thee as your curiosity is up against gravity. you're a little sick in the head to lust at lambs like its causal your charm maybe convincing but its not like it was ever really factual maybe in another universe where a monogamist is a sinner but woe is thee as your curiosity is up against gravity. oh it would be wise yes it would be wise oh it would be wise to stop flirting with me you're a little intense but i dont take offense with your advancements flattery it maybe but its perversity outweighs my judgement maybe in another universe where age is just a number but woe is thee as your curiosity is up against gravity. oh it would be wise yes it would be wise oh it would be wise to stop flirting with me

Quit You 03:03
i can't quit you, i can't do without this vice i can't quit you, Lord knows i've tried. To quit you, i can't vacate you out of my mind i can't quit you no system override i can't quit you, i can't do without my pride but i can't quit you Lord knows i've tried To quit you, i can't core you out of my spine I can't quit you no system override my heart's turned hollow as the burrows in my body drown~ in all of the things we have in common. oh gasping for air the same air we share i'm reminded of how you're faithful to your freedom how you're spineless with your feelings. right down to the bone, to the bone i can't quit you, i can't do without this vice i can't quit you, Lord knows i've tried. to quit you, i can't vacate you out of my mind i can't quit you no system override oh i can't quit oh not this time.

i don’t want to come over 
im no innocent company
 i don’t want to hold you 
or at least thats what i’ll tell me while i hang around
 waiting for you to come round
 and i’ll go somewhere
 if you’d take me there
 oh i could be
 the girl you’ll keep on your 
speed dial
 on your speed dial i don’t want to come over
 you’re no innocent company 
i don’t want to kiss you
 or at least thats what i’ll tell me while i play the fool
 waiting for a date or two 
cause i’ll go somewhere
 if you’d take me there
 oh i could be 
the girl you’ll keep on your 
speed dial
 on your speed dial so call me sometime.

you're the artful dodger the mystery joker and you're hiding behind your wall of humour. you're the artful dodger the great pretender i can't figure you out or get a little closer how could i have jumped into the cold with the unpredictable the rest if predictable how could i have jumped into bed with the frivolous why did i have to challenge the universe. your'e the artful dodger the comic actor and i should have known better than to attempt to decipher you're the artful dodger the classic danger and i'm ashamed of myself cause this is all too familiar. how could i have jumped into the cold with the unpredictable the rest if predictable how could i have jumped into bed with the frivolous why did i have to challenge the universe. you're the artful dodger my heartbeat stopper but you're hiding behind your wall of humour

we're on a voyage to no where, sailing away from the trouble land. abandoning those hearts on fire, hold on tight we're nearly half way there. brushes with the death of us can only make us more beautiful but if it kills with no mercy just know that i loved you with all my heart. don't you think we've gone too far stealing the sunset from everyone its funny how it seems so right stealing the sunset from everyone. if i had a time machine, will you jump on board we'll go back to one it stabs my heart but this i'll say you're the only one i'll open my eyes to. you're the only one i'll open my eyes to. brushes with the death of us can only make us more beautiful but if it kills with no mercy just know that i loved you with all my heart.

His heart's black and hollow He changes the colors of his eyes as he please. Oh his words trigger harrow His humanity's intact but it's left diseased His face is cold and somber But he rages inside with a vengeance of beasts Oh even when he's sober A bloody nose is what he'd have you receive Oh he's choked to death a dozen times from swallowing pride. Oh no mercy from the mercenary While the world bares the brunt of his blade/rage And if the sun crashes into earth and we're the last around i'll rather go up in smoke go up in smoke. i'll cut the chord, burn the rope bury the crater deep His heart's black & hollow He changes each time he's loses supremacy His words cut through the marrow His sanity's intact but its hard to appeased His face is cold and somber But he lashes out each time someone disagrees Oh even when he's sober A bloody nose is what he'd have you receive Oh he's choked to death a dozen times from swallowing pride. Oh no mercy from the mercenary While the world bares the brunt of his blade/rage Respect's a currency you can't afford a privilege peddler ought to know his flaws he said "perfect love cost everything"

Inchision 05:20
There's a void in my being a subtle feeling it starts from my bones & it flows into my arteries, arteries. There i let it linger, till its a cancer in me, cancer in me. i'm falling short i'm falling out of love with you There's a world of opinions attempting incisions straight through to chest to arrest, the breath in my lung, breath in my lungs and i'm falling short and i'm falling out of love with you Someday, i'll be the girl of your dreams but not, for now Someday, you'll understand the unforseen but not, with me. There's a burning fire, doomed to expire. It started out as a flamed and it blazed out of my rib out of my ribs And there my heart lays, trapped in its cage, trapped in its cage. and i'm falling short and i'm falling out of love with you. Someday, i'll be the girl of your dreams but not, for now. Someday, you'll understand the unforseen but not, with me. i'm falling short, i'm falling out i'm falling short, i'm falling out of love with you. someday i'll be the girl of your dreams but not, for now someday you'll understand the unforeseen but not, with me.

Old Nine 02:53
Oh you're the first and maybe the last A major minor memory here to haunt my stage. While i'm the fool of all fools I jumped into the deep without my clothes again. Oh you're the first and maybe the last A summer i know that won't repeat itself A lover from a scene that i can't dispel A subtle pleasantry, a puppet that i can't grasp. Excuse me mister, Won't you repeat the question. Cause i sure hope that i could be the answer. Excuse me mister, won't you repeat the question. Cause i sure hope that i could be the answer. To all that your heart desires, and all that your flesh requires.

Glow 04:33
eyes closed i feel the fire burning burn bright the warmth, it all surrounds me it burns because you love me burn bright for me baby i could see you glowing glow eyes closed i feel the fire burning burn bright the warmth, it all surrounds me hands clasped i feel my hear beat racing stand down cause i might burst in tears it burns because you love me burn bright for me baby i could see you glowing glowing glowing glow.

about

BUM·FUZ·ZLE [buhm-fuhz-uhl]
A vagrant lover is loyal to heartsick.
Lost in the puzzle between the flustered heart and the confused head.
Forever responsible for the love i've tamed,
one can only attempt to cut the chord, burn the rope & bury the crater deep.

"★★★★★"
—Christopher Toh - TODAY

"All of these tracks are perfect for anyone who is a fan of a perfect combination of classic guitar playing and modern experimentation and ingenuity. And, best of all, this girl can sing."
—Matt Garrison - The Aquarian Weekly

"In her new single “Artful Dodger”,iNCH continues to introduce herself to us Americans. Her video for the track shows her trying to track down a friend."
—Surviving the Golden Age

"Songs such as “Inchision” explode with power and energy, while slower tunes, like “Deep Paranoia,” allow the singer to embrace a softly emotive and almost seductive sound."
—Corey Irwin - Music Connection

"For our latest taste of Bumfuzzle, [iNCH.] has chosen to release the fuzzy (obviously) rocker “The Chefalo Knot,” with its subdued Karen O vocal posturing and abrupt streaks of guitar riffage. The track highlights [iNCH.'s] impressive voice while allowing the melody and complex instrumental interchange to proceed without interference."
—Joshua Pickard - Beats Per Minute

"“Artful Dodger” was just odd enough to catch our attention. At times cacophonous, it’s oddly enchanting and recalls the early work of The Dirty Projectors."
—Clif - THE DADADA

about

iNCH Singapore

Pigeon holes aren’t really iNCH’s thing. Constantly pushing the definitions of artistry to new levels of discomfort, iNCH is never one to shy from opening up the doors of creation to vulnerability.
