Basslines and twine twisted around my crying mind;

Friends find my eyes misaligned, so they leave me behind;

Maligned former allies join the fiends like some disrupted fever dream;

Eardrums rupture from broken beats and jilted queens;

Girls sit and scream while I rock here eating coffee ice cream;

Creme de la CREAM, but I spend too much money on skinny jeans;


Nu beet.


Originally released on my Waking Up LP, I went in and edited this a little bit and added an extra vocal sample after I listened to Aesop Rock's Float LP for the first time in a lotta years.


This will be the first track (after the intro) on my next album, 'Avatar Cane.' It will be my debut rap project and I'm hoping to release it by the 6th of February of next year, just as soon as I get bars written for it...


Please leave your honest opinion.


Hook Lyrics:

Hey there to my future self

If you forget how to smile

I have this to tell you

Remember it once in a while


Outro Lyrics:

I've hired sweatshop labor to hold candles to the solar panels;

Stitched in the back of my neck for nickels and sour milk by the week;

Cheek to the heartache;

At the center of my anthem lies a blend of temper tantrums substantial for me to lamp in;


I fell in love with you....

Love it. It has a bit of a French experimental hip-hop feel to it. Not so much what is considered the 'norm' out in the wild. Some of it is slightly off-beat but not jarring or unpleasant to the ears. It keeps the listener engaged.

The bit from Aesop Rock is fucking brilliant. I grew up with Illogic and Aesop Rock. That music has always remained instrumental to my appreciation for hip-hop (e.g. Celestial Clock work, hate in a puddle). It carried the same kind of bizarre weight and off-key instrumentals.

This is lovely. I think there is more room for polish in terms of musical architecture- but that is a language I can't really speak as a creator. Only appreciate as a listener. What is required to approach this is unfortunately far beyond me.

Love this.

Keep at it,

Mind bending. Lovely Drumwork. The mix here is really good though and I dig the intro outro transitions. I have no real criticisms except that as an old fart I have trouble with grooves that switch up so often, but that's me.

Thanks for the love man!

Haha, yeah, I was really experimenting with drum placement back when this track was first being worked on, so that's why they're so scatterbrained.
