Once upon a time everything was fine
Dreaming so high
Almost touching the sky
Fears and tears running thru my eyes
God I hope you are on my side
Round and round I go to a place
Where I feel safe
Life is a glittery fu¢kery
Having hope but broke
Life is a glittery fu¢kery
Smiling and lying
If it stays like this much longer
I’ll probably go insane
Shit I might put something in my vein
Lord have mercy on my soul
God I’ll let you
I’ll let you be in control
Round and round I go to a place
Where I feel safe
Life is a glittery fu¢kery
Having hope but broke
Life is a glittery fu¢kery
Smiling and lying

Hallucinating, paranoid and scared
The dog knew what I was going thru
She didn't leave my side
People around me asking me am I good?
No!
Open the windows it's hot!
Me and the dog going crazy
Let me hear Mavis!
A bad trip made time stand still
Waiting till sunrise...
With a dog licking my tears
Delusional, panicking and frightening
The dog knew I wasn't cool
She barked at the energy in the room
I saw darkness falling on me
Damn I need to get out of here...
That's for damn sho
Open the windows it's hot
Me and the dog going crazy
Let me hear Mavis!
A bad trip made time stand still
Waiting till sunrise...
With a dog licking my tears

Can I trust you
To tell you all my troubles
Can I trust you
To tell you all my dreams
Can I trust you
To love me as you need

It was never a struggle, it was a delicacy
Whatever the problem
I was able to solve them
When you think you came to the end
It was just the beginning
Leaving broken and sad
But gladly packing my bags
Scared on what’s coming next
I hope it’s for the best
I’ll say goodbye now
See you on the other side
Preparing for the next test
It was never a struggle, it was a delicacy
Whatever the problem
I was able to solve them
I will find my way back home
Waiting on the day to not worry anymore
It’s heavy on my mind
How do I get up
Messing up so many times
Scared on what’s coming next
I hope it’s for the best
I’ll say goodbye now
See you on the other side
Preparing for the next test
I may be damaged
But I am free as a bird
Flying so high
It was never a struggle, it was a delicacy
Whatever the problem
I was able to solve them

Love my face but don’t love my brain
Let’s talk about it”

“A confession was made
no answer was needed
just wanted someone to hear
Look through the window
Not in the mirror
Forgot about the fear
When I am weak
I am strong
I walk with my head up, from now on
Finding the key, singing my songs
When I am weak
I am strong”

Basquiat & Skittles

Painting souls green and yellow
Getting lost in my sweet tooth
A bag of candy would save me from doom
Thinking about all the colors
In a rainbow
With pot of gold at the end
Where I stand still and pretend
That I’m Basquiat
Eating Skittles
Wearing my crown
Turning my frown upside down
It was deeper than the ocean
I couldn’t see
The ghetto tornado was after me
Running and screaming for help
Every step was to hell and back
But I met an angel in my hood
Where I stand and pretend
That I’m Basquiat
Eating Skittles
Wearing my crown
Turning my frown upside down
Night and day I’m looking for
Someone to save me from myself
So I can live
That I’m Basquiat
Eating Skittles
Wearing my crown
Turning my frown upside down

Quality Over Opinion
by Louis cole

Really unbelievable. This is like an experiment of how many different styles you can pack into one musical collective, yet still remain cohesive. What even is this?!? Jazz, electronic, retrowave, pop, funk, avant-garde? Incredible vox, stellar songwriting, and a predilection for making me say "whoa" at the weirdest times.
