    Lyrics:
    I think I really miss my bed
    Oh when, oh when will the nightmare end?
    I had it good, I had it good
    And yet I left and can't retrace my steps
    My steps
    You’re gonna be eaten by a coyote
    Run little one
    Though the pack may follow
    Two quite thin, their brother fatter
    You can still win, just gotta be faster
    Run for the yard
    They’ve barred up the gutter
    That was our route better find another
    Was that a rabbit?
    Really not
    Like the one I’ve seen on a cereal box
    And the birds don’t talk
    Like the ones on screen
    Have they really domesticated me?
    And the birds don’t talk
    Like the ones on screen
    Have they really domesticated me?
    (instrumental)
    Cotton tail gonna end up in jail
    Wrong place wrong time
    Bad tune but it rhymed
    And lined up perfectly to blame
    The one who is far too tame
    And he say:
    Out, let me in, let me in, let me out
    Stop telling me all about your problems
    I been to hell, still in, get me out
    Whatever they are I don’t know how to solve 'em
    Out, let me in, let me in, let me out
    Stop telling me all about your problems
    I been to hell, still in, get me out
    Whatever they are I don’t know how to solve 'em
    Say, is that the kid from the milk carton?
    Can I do anything when I’m also missing?
    Something tells me kid
    Never learned to swim
    But can I do anything when I’m also drowning?
    (instrumental)
    Think I forgot a couple things
    My brain is still at home
    Home's far away
    I really thought that life was one big race
    But now I know it's one big chase
    You can still win, just gotta be faster
    You can, you can, you can, you can win
    You can still win, just gotta be
    I think I really miss my bed
    Oh when, oh when will the nightmare end?
    I had it good, I had it good
    And yet I left and can't retrace my steps
    Think I forgot a couple things
    My brain is still at home (stop telling me all about your problems)
    Home's far away
    I really thought that life was one big race
    But now I know it's one big chase (oh)
    You’re gonna be eaten by a coyote
    Run little one
    Though the pack may follow
    Two quite thin, their brother fatter
    You can still win, just gotta be
    You’re gonna be eaten by a coyote
    Run little one
    Though the pack may follow
    Two quite thin, their brother fatter
    You can still win, just gotta be
    You can still win, just gotta be
    Oh, the air is thick
    Kinda makes me sick
    Can I give CPR when I'm suffocating?
    And the birds don't sing
    Like the ones on screen
    Have they really domesticated me? (You can still win, just gotta be)
    Have they really domesticated me? (You can still win, just gotta be)
    Have they really domesticated me? (You can still win, just gotta be)
    Have they really domesticated me? (faster!)

    hey guys! just want to address something:) -
    im fully aware that this song is very popular amongst the therian community. i'm really honored so many people can find joy in my music! that being said, i get uncomfortable when people start claiming that my songs are *ONLY* for them/their group. i’ve noticed it happening most with this song. i welcome anyone to enjoy my music, so i just ask for people to please stop saying the song was written for or belongs to one single community.
    i wrote this song about my cat running away. I’m not a therian, nor was this song written for/about therians.
    all this being said, music is meant to be interpreted in thousands of ways (which is why i don't usually go into much depth about what my songs mean to me specifically) and i love and appreciate everyone who popularized The Milk Carton and i encourage you to keep enjoying, i'm in no way saying this to scare anyone off. just please remember that music shouldn't be claimed.
    if you ARENT part of that community, please don't be mean to therians for enjoying the song. my music is for everyone!
    love you all

    I love this song. My parents rarely let me outside, so when i was about 7-8, i ran away from home and took off to the forest near our house. It felt so magical, like i was seeing reality for the first time. I ran back about an hour later, since i was scared and hungry. But, i still run off often at night when my parents are asleep. The outside world is confusing and scary, but also magical and enchanting.

    This song reminds me of my cat named Leo. He ran away when I was about 9 or 10 and I hadn't known where he'd gone. But a few weeks later I went into the forest near my house AND HE WAS JUST CHILLING THERE- From then on every time I went back to the forest he'd appear and follow me around, but he never came back home with me sadly- We eventually moved and he was left behind since we couldn't find him, but I hope he's happy. I'm pretty sure he was getting food from someone down the road who had LOTS of cats, so I think he'll be okay

    I wanted to share how much your music means to my girlfriend. She's autistic and ADHD, living with chronic pain and more medical history than anyone at 38-years-old should ever experience...but one of her biggest comforts comes from music that lifts her up while separating her from the burdens of her daily life and the material world that so frequently causes her pain. That being the case, she often stumbles across songs that are more than songs to her--where the act of listening/singing along/dancing around becomes a stim--and that's what happened with "The Milk Carton."
    Since she started listening to that song, she has added many of your songs to what I would consider her safe space...that place that exists solely between her headphones, shutting out everything beyond.
    That's all, I just wanted you to know how much of an impact you've had on her...and how thankful I am for that I happen to be.
    So, thank you.

    When I read the meaning of this song, I couldn't make it halfway through without sobbing. 5 years ago, I lost my cat. He was my favorite one.. his name was Olive, handsome black cat with gorgeous yellow eyes. He ran out the front door one day, while we were getting bees removed from the vent in my house. I was 7 at this time. When we realized he was really gone, I refused to go to school for a whole week (I'm pretty sure I still went tho). When we couldn't find him for months, my family gave up, believing he was killed by a coyote. I never lost hope though that he would one day be sitting on the front porch, waiting to be taken back into my care.. it's been 5 years, and I still cling onto that hope that he'll be there one day.. and if he's not, at least we'll reunite in heaven..

      The line "have they really domesticated me?" Really speaks to me for this reason. I was a wild child. I would run off into the woods and drink from streams and try to get away from everyone as much as i could and just be me. I didnt care who thought i was weird. I wanted to be me and if i found friends who liked me along the way then great, come on along! My parents sent me away for it. To a place now known for its abuse. I havent yelled or danced or slept soundly through the night since. The outside world terrifies me and i didnt realize how bad it was until im living in an apartment with my husband now and ive had a moment to breathe alone without anyone around and im so scared. This is my home now and i know its mine and i can do what i want here and be what i want. I can finally be me. 6 years and i can be me and i dont know who i am anymore. Im scared of the dark and of being alone for two seconds. Every time i step out the front door i have to remind myself to breathe deeply and calm my heart. Theyve domesticated me. Once i was a coyote and now im a fat cat scared of my own shadow.

    This definitely gives me disillusionment with adulthood after growing up with it being seen as exciting on TV and traumacore vibes. Like I feel that in the lyrics that are juxtaposed by a cheery tune of the music. I noticed that with a lot of your (Madilyn's) songs and you honestly have kinda put some of the things that I have dealt with in life into music, it makes me feel less alone (ex. The Chapel and this song).

      I get those vibes, too. Like a “you don’t know a good thing until it’s gone” situation where, as a kid, you idolized and romanticized being an adult. All you want to do is have that freedom (let me out, let me in, let me out) But, then, when you really do grow up you realize how much more dull and terrifying the world really is and how unprepared you are to face it.

    This song just gives me so much joy and I have noticed that all therians use this amazing song and honestly, I don’t blame them.
    This song is very enjoyable too. Like when it says “Run little one cause the pack may follow” or “You’re gonna be eaten by a coyote” it just makes me feel that tingle of ‘Such A Great Line’.
    Sorry if this is so long but I guess I don’t comment a lot and this comment has really expressed myself.

    I know this wasn't the purpose of this song, but I'm a wild black cat therian and the fact it says, "have they really domesticated me?" Makes me really happy because people have domesticated cats. Also the fact I can just relate to the lyrics even outside of it reminding me of my theriotype, I love this song.

    Ever since I first heard you working on this song it's been in my head and sososososoosooo special to my heart! This song really resonates with me, it reminds me so much about my sheltered lifestyle I've had for so long with recent years, with realizations and desires for escaping gaining my freedom, while also struggling with my "domestication" if that makes sense. "Have they really domesticated me?" really sits with me and I cannot stress enough how much this song will help me. I know it will.
    Sorry if that was so personal. But music really brings out things in everyone I guess. Thank you for making such a great song!

    Lyrics 🎤🎶
    I think I really miss my bed
    Oh when, oh when will the nightmare end?
    I had it good, I had it good
    And yet I left and can't retrace my steps
    My steps
    (Ohh)
    You're gonna be eaten by a coyote
    Run, little one, though the pack may follow
    Two quite thin, their brother fatter
    He can still win, just gotta be faster
    Run for the yard, they've barred up the gutter
    That was our route, better find another
    Was that a rabbit? Really not like the one
    I'vе seen on a cereal box
    And the birds don't talk
    Likе the ones on screen
    Have they really domesticated me?
    And the birds don't talk
    Like the ones on screen
    Have they really domesticated me?
    Cotton tail, gonna end up in jail
    Wrong place, wrong time
    Bad tune but it rhymed
    And lined up perfectly to blame
    The one who is far too tame
    And he say
    "Out, let me in, let me in, let me out
    Stop tellin' me all about your problems
    I been to hell, still in, get me out
    Whatever they are, I don't know how to solve 'em"
    "Out, let me in, let me in, let me out
    Stop tellin' me all about your problems
    I been to hell, still in, get me out
    Whatever they are, I don't know how to solve 'em"
    Say, is that the kid from the milk carton?
    Can I do anything when I'm also missing?
    Something tells me kid
    Never learned to swim
    But can I do anything when I'm also drowning?
    Think I forgot a couple things
    My brain is still at home
    Home's far away
    I really thought that life was one big race
    But now I know it's one big chase
    You can still win, just gotta be faster
    You can, you can, you can, you can win
    You can still win, just gotta be faster
    You can, you can, you can, you can win
    You can still win, just gotta be faster
    You can, you can, you can, you can win
    You can still win, just gotta be faster
    You can, you can, you can, you can win
    You can still win, just gotta be faster
    You can, you can, you can, you can win
    You can still win, just gotta be
    I think I really miss my bed
    Oh when, oh when will the nightmare end?
    I had it good, I had it good
    And yet I left and can't retrace my steps
    Think I forgot a couple things
    My brain is still at home (Stop telling me all about your problems)
    Home's far away
    I really thought that life was one big race
    But now I know it's one big chase (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
    You're gonna be eaten by a coyote
    Run little one
    Though the pack may follow
    Two quite thin, their brother fatter
    You can still win, just gotta be
    You're gonna be eaten by a coyote
    Run little one
    Though the pack may follow
    Two quite thin, their brother fatter
    You can still win, just gotta be
    You can still win, just gotta be
    Oh, the air is thick
    Kinda makes me sick
    Can I give CPR when I'm suffocating?
    And the birds don't sing
    Like the ones on screen
    Have they really domesticated me? (You can still win, just gotta be)
    Have they really domesticated me? (You can still win, just gotta be)
    Have they really domesticated me? (You can still win, just gotta be)
    Have they really domesticated me? (Faster!)

    For years, I've not felt like the house I live in is my actual home, as in, safe space where you live. I even tried to run away at one point a few years ago. This song encapsulates how I've been feeling for so long. But it gives me hope that some day, I can feel at home somewhere, with my partner, all my loved ones in touch, no one ever being too far away. I'm at the age where in just a few years, I'll be leaving the nest, so-to-speak. I'm glad I found this song :)

    What I think this song is about (Or at least how I interpreted it) is a house cat that left it’s house and got lost. And it’s all from the cat’s perspective of how it got lost. It gives me a nostalgic, yet slightly sad feeling. It makes me smile when I hear this. The song from the cat’s perspective makes it sound exciting, yet scary, from the cats POV. Pure ✨GENIUS✨ and it gives off the vibes of when it’s raining, yet still sunny! Just pure happiness, and whimsy!❤

    I couldn’t stop smiling while listening to this song! I also just LOVE the part where it says “stop telling me all about your problems” I LOVE IT

    I am overly emotional and usually there are certain songs that make me cry like a baby and I try to desensitize myself from them but this song I haven’t been able to beat so far. It’s a beautiful song!

    I would like to share that someone from my dnd party is making an animatic to this song with all of our characters and I came here to listen to it. I’ve never been so excited to watch something in my life

    Heard this in a reel, thought the production was incredibly interesting, came here for the whole thing and now I’m crying at “can I give CPR when I’m suffocating?”. Wonderful. Bravo.

    This song dragged me through some really tough weeks a little while back by the way 💕 It was the main thing that brought me serotonin in those days which helped me get thru them.. So comforting thank you
