iridescent_cicada Every track has spent time stuck in my head; all of it has a pleasing groove to it. Some really tasty, charming synthpoppy goodness. Favorite track: OFFA UR PHONE.

Gary Duke For me this somehow has the optimistic DIY goodvibes and ooomph of Prince’s Lovesexy, only it’s fermented like some mighty funky kombucha, and adorned with many more colours and textures. Love the punchy way Good Weird opens- the dripping silences in the track- and the album keeps its creative fire and surprises going. Nice! Favorite track: GOOD WEIRD FEAT. DEL FLORIDA.

Talk to people and they’ll try to shush it Walking steep just makes it hard to push it When you go exude yourself they’ll hate it But not for me Got the good weird bug in my heart gonna use it (Del Florida) Everybody wants to start a problem Self-love isn’t pleasing if they got none Try to change it for their liking hold up It’s not for me Got the good weird bug in my heart gonna use it We don’t care watch you think of us And we don’t care what you call enough But we the ones telling you what you need When you know what to say to them Just call it quits and leave it then They’re the ones making the walking so steep Talk to people and they’ll try to shush it Walking steep just makes it hard to push it When you go exude yourself they’ll hate it But not for me Got the good weird bug in my heart gonna use it (Del Florida) Everybody wants to start a problem Self-love isn’t pleasing if they got none Try to change it for their liking hold up It’s not for me Got the good weird bug in my heart gonna use it I might care what you think of me And I might be ushered to a knee But I can’t have you telling me what I need When you know what to say to me I’ll just sit and listen with glee But good luck trying to stop me from falling asleep Talk to people and they’ll try to shush it Walking steep just makes it hard to push it When you go exude yourself they’ll hate it But not for me Got the good weird bug in my heart gonna use it

There comes a time in every single life where electricity don’t come to you There comes a time in every single life where synchronicity don’t seem so true You get nervous, you fuck it up, tell your tarot reader that it’s their fault You’re in denial, you know that you’re stuck in the ground I dunno Is what you yell to the sky I dunno A millenial cry I dunno Is what you yell to the sky Who are you really though? Who are you really when you’re sad and off of your phone? Who are you really though? Who are you really when you’re sad and off of your phone? Just ‘cause you’re chemical don’t stir the pot don’t mean I’m basic PH debunked it Mysoginistic and a flaming head, yeah, surely that will do the fucking trick We’re not perfect, we’re all a mess, bet you kinda liked that Tim Burton film You’re in denial, you know that you’re stuck in the ground I dunno Is what you yell to the sky I dunno A millenial cry I dunno Is what you yell to the sky Who are you really though? Who are you really when you’re sad and off of your phone? Who are you really though? Who are you really when you’re sad and off of your phone?

Hello my old friend I’ve been waiting for ya Telekinesis don’t work like it used to Lived in my altar 5A above We are the same like the names of our past loves Weakly connected By a lineage strong Fighting collossi to the Pyramid Song But you don’t seem to notice That every time we face You’re blanked and blurred and tryin’a get a grip of your mind The psychic creek between us damned and shut by a listlessness incurred by self destructive tendency my friend snore captain you got you got to wake up You are a genius A creative and friend Braindead and lost is not a good agenda Why don’t you answer When I send you a text You are my confidant, my muse, and we can’t let it end 2 hour train rides And 90 proof rum You need to stop slowly killing yourself But even when in person it’s like you just phase out You take a sip a sip a sip a sip then you’re out I need you to be present and remember why the fuck you’re so cool Because without your shit, I lose my shit, snore captain you got you got to wake up

The circumventing Looking into a sorry room Nothing protecting But glass don’t shatter with a boom Two heart tombs I am closer than ever now I am alone now I’ll never try to come around A chest contains the heart of another A chest inside a room entombed Opaque and painful, nebulous, gone No door and fifteen ways to be done The circumventing Looking into a sorry room Nothing protecting But glass don’t shatter with a boom Two heart tombs I am closer than ever now I am alone now I’ll never try to come around I shot and killed the heart of another A chest inside a room entombed So bleak and painful, nebulous one No door and sixteen ways to be done The circumventing Looking into a sorry room Nothing protecting But glass don’t shatter with a boom Two heart tombs Was never living from the start I am alone now I’ll never try to come around

drunk hug 05:12
You’ve got to know that you’re good and in time your slippery boy will fade away to a place far and unsafe I shun myself Hedonist, social cues While you go stir the pot for poor working drones all on their phones Open and warm Laugh at my stupid jokes, but when it comes to talking we shy away, I stay to play Stuck to the plan See you out with your friends, checking in with your unfair guardian Wish I was him Katy What the hell’s wrong with me? Am I so lame and normal? Katy It was the only time That I actually tried to get something I wanted Piercing your face What was it supposed to be Wary warning or a cultural thing? It’s just a ring More ornate than bold So I’m told by your soul Filtering jocks and Prada You gotta be a judgmental being Katy What the hell’s wrong with me? Am I so lame and normal? Katy It was the only time That I actually tried to get something I wanted I always daydreamed about feeling your softness against my jaw but not in this place, not in this place Something’s not right when your best shot at a sincere moment’s bookended by crooked pubs Just drunken hugs

headbang 04:21
Sometimes you’ll see me ‘round talking about the things that I don’t even see But I need to believe in them because if I don’t I’m an average prick Every time the sun is up I kinda start to feel like the pressure’s on and I need some time alone I’d rather pretend like it needs me for energy So I grab my head Force myself to just get out of bed and re-envision all my stupid shit Pretend it’s better ‘cause it’s artistic I guess I’ve seen some shit for a white kid who is just perfect I guess it’s time to plead head illness as if I’m even really worth that trick Banging your head against the wall You know you’re all okay You know you’re all okay Think about it for a min, you’re better than this You know you’re all okay You may be sick but you’re okay When you’re mental royalty you’re really not inclined to see the things that are real, the things insignificant They have their worth but you doubt it all the time There are days I long to live in a house that I never did and yet all the while the comfort is hard to leave I claim to need sleep but I like it for the dreams
