CynCS The power of Era's vocals paired with Cecil beaten down to his knees makes this the most powerful song on the album. Absolutely beautiful composition. Favorite track: Electric (feat. the good witch).

we’re not rotting, we’re not dreaming either we’re living underneath a legion of people who think a season of giving means that you’ll get another credit card no way to tell whether leaving a grievance helps at all cuz no one’s listening or maybe we’re not speaking maybe it’s even my fault that the rooftop’s leaking maybe we’re not breathing but leasing all the same i bet they like that mo money no problems like that get it on the track done if you like that better cannonball run to the loan officer get your home no money down 30 years (sign me up) [buy it up buy it up now] don’t look down with it out of bounds i put that APR on a two-step bounce and i p-p-p-pitter when i verb the noun [buy it up buy it up wow] don’t look now at the last account with the red lines drawn get up get up (don’t want to live like that no more) i’m gonna k-k-k-kill it til it’s d-d-d-dead i push my head into the sand for just a little too long i’m gonna k-k-k-kill it til it’s d-d-d-dead gonna let it all go wake up let it go gonna save less spend more - tried to pirate it but they knocked down my door gonna give less take more - fuck privacy wanna be entitled and lie myself to sleep get up out the chair get up out the office get up in the air and feel the sun on my face get up get up gonna save less spend more hold up now with the overture I done sold right out well i know for sure make the choice made it right when i kill my music kill the light take the sound make it drown hold it down living in tune with a three piece suit but i never really feel what i know what i want when i

Mikal kHill: it’s been a long time coming and i think it’s finally here wave of the wand, it’s that easy poof and you disappear an invalidated archive of shared experience so now i don’t have to listen to you rant about how dope it is just to know you, like that was a real prize, dude. the only regret i have is i didn’t slap the shit out you how could i doubt you? i knew you better than you thought an entitled little monster, highchair tyrant history repeats until you stop being silent cut this episode short before the sidetrack turns violent my oldest friends wound up as my worst enemies and i don’t even take this shit from my own fucking family most people can’t stand me, you’re no exception i can see still you walk around like you won the world trophy worlds worst whatever. man, i can’t even the only thing you’re good at is treason and leaving Tribe One: i’m probly just as guilty as you are of letting this thing drag on too far i never imagined life without you playing a huge part but you couldn’t have cared less and my trying was too hard so we were a mess way before it all went fubar and there’s no shooting star to wish it better by our own admission all this friction is flapping wings of a different feather i can promise the longer we stick together only hurts ourselves like masochists in whips and leather pull this string on my christmas sweater watch me unravel after having been convinced that we would live forever but this was never meant to stand against the wind and weather so though i still love i don’t think i can forgive you ever you had my example to practice on and did the exact thing you convinced me was bad and wrong the exact thing they sing of in the saddest songs you left and to be completely honest, man, i’m glad you’re gone there’s one thing I don’t care about nah, make it two me and you, it’s overdue i’m done hanging on to what we were there’s one thing I don’t care about nah, make it two me and you, it’s overdue take your shit and move along cecilnick: too true like a venomous tooth caught in a loop sink deep every little word a who’s who of our mistakes, shoot it never really was just you but knowing you is like wearing a suit of snake bites pain is coming real soon hacking apertures eyes shut from laughter absolutely we go way back before either of us were masters spectacular boom-bapular heated arguments and pleading now a sad rap dap in the middle of the street beep beep gotta leave been real great meeting go on wit it // i’m doing just fine go on wit it // hope you’re happy with your life and it might sound trite and maybe just a little bit bitter but i really mean it cuz you and me together we’re demons to each other old friends fuck it old fam if I’m genuine i know you were there listening when i couldn’t keep a sentence in but I’m sick of it the slithering the lack of anything but questioning my decisions a prison of living in the doubt of your friendship

it’s 4am and i am sitting on the edge of the bed with the last words of our conversation on rotation in my head and the meds are too low dosage maybe cuz we keep losing focus and i keep losing sleep and wishing i hadn’t said what i said but it’s hopeless emotion took over and spoke the words in anger in an exchange the same as when pandora opened her container but i can defend you from danger the way the ocean serves the sailor so just know whatever floats your boat it don’t concern the anchor we were young in parking lots we were young and making jokes we were young and making messes mostly as a way to cope with that front facing camera flipped back to catch the glimmer in our hopes no ropes holding back when you asked with that admission of missive i missed it and this particular tidbit of misery is so delicious and exquisite intermission inhibited with a wish to bridge the distance and a list of each suspicion one ellipsis can elicit wish in one hand drunk text in the other then in the morning regret everything you confessed to each other but he’s never impressed unless you successfully suffer cuz the light leaving your eyes is like a sunset in the summer ignore the whats and wheres and whens and hows and whys and whos there are ways of finding out for sure a house is fireproof so what am i to you? a guide? a muse? and what if i refuse? and shut myself within this shell you held so tight no might could pry it loose but i was never more than a distraction and every form of interaction was more from boredom than from passion the courtship was imagined i solved the human rubik’s cube when all i ever wanted was to know what i could do for you the good witch: I give you life our love is electric

i’m on some real shit, that mikal kHill shit that trill depressing keeps you up late at night shit i kinda like it if i’m being honest but honestly that doesn’t happen very often blink and you’ll miss it F5 on the track now gotta refresh and get obsessed with lack of thoughts now we look at top down aesthetics attracted by a count of the rounds it takes to turn the thread into a black thing or a manly thing a heritage abandoning how many page hits grow up from a slandering a grievous misprint believe us (yeah right) so i get on my hands and needs and pray down to RNGesus for a better pattern a bit of luck on the havok no dazzler it happens that my feed is just cigarettes incorrect habits manifested on the beat or ballot vote purple pragmatic in the last thing move it over for clickholes and mars rovers bey and hova’s elevator oceans of distance and fizzy soda water move it oughta use it for hotter movies hotter teens and BBCs and free to please on myFCs give it up or live it up one or the other have another, a cover for insecurity buffer reblog another tumblr and drift down to the deep web and see it that me there i’m sinking i’m sinking i see it when i’m disconnected i can’t feel you in my pocket it’s a topic of aggravation can’t stop it when i’m on it that nomophobia holding up overloading the socket i’m on just as soon as you write back and let me know if you are you and what’s good for you good for you feed my feed i need a redirect i need a river awash in piss blood and sex seed by seed i’ll plant a revenue a revolutionary wearing a habit in esoteric doom feed my feed i need an intellect i need a sliver to toss in piss blood and sex seed by seed i’ll plant a revenue a revolutionary swearing the tablet is so ahead of you

Alice Wyrd: Hail you beautiful Inanna Gift me with your blood like wine Let me love with fire like you are Let me walk among your lives I can feel your chambers empty I see all your stars align I’m a top without a center Spinning out so far from life See my horns, my raging tempest See my fangs and cut my line I’m unworthy of your progress All our progress is untied Jesse Dangerously: i’m not a pretty picture / i am a side of beef i seek a sigh of relief / i have to die to eat that’s what a diet means / thank you society how we try to be / slender and slight and sweet whenever i compete, the end is in sight for me that’s why i can’t stand the heat / stifling never the type to bleed / my gender is white... say my name quietly / quieter. silently ...am i alright? i mean / what else might i be don’t ask what might have been / this is it. lie to me. ... / take what’s inside of me please. / get the good side of me. cheese! / what a pretty picture. in the hundred acres, dressed like a city slicker recipe for pity, slacker and i feel like you crossed these streams already only backwards and in heels Why am I such mortal wrenching Coiling round the egg of time Cast me off and don’t remit me Sinking I embrace the tide Ahomari: Silence speaks When I’m underneath Silence speaks When you’re watching me I found the light of vice in you And vice in me You’re comfortable When I’m alone beneath the seams Maybe you’re wasted And maybe I’m dead Inside my head you appear to be there But all that lies infront of me Are mirrored fears Cause in the world to you I’m them to them I’m him

L'heure vide 01:55
it’s so cold it’s old lumpy and moldy smelling disintegrating to holes in spots over telling remarks made over hardships no secrets here left never undressed it touches skin and tears it touches everything the light and sound appear from up above living underneath the dreams a wreath of cotton shrouded dust it’s lonely and lost the only buzz left is sabotage it turns to rust it turns gauze it turns into rocks with never a pause lie awake syllables linger sitting on the fingertips of these last few weeks curtains drawn silly quick quips turn to arguments for the light that’s gone it’s no better with the netflix queue the reach of these screens is thrown and now too the mattress just sinks the springs are all chewed and spit right back out the laugh is untrue it’s not happening not now not loud enough to be crowned the highest tick on the list of shit that’s wrong today my bed feels so much better when you’re in it we drift off no cost no loss expended it’s last call cuz now it’s all wrong the bed’s half empty

about

"nerdcore torture porn" - @jordanlawrence

"As a frontman, Decker does a great job of balancing a different tones and subject matters. There’s a sarcastic and absurdist sense of humor to the group, but they manage to sneak in a lot of meaningful political discussion as well." - Chi Chi, ScratchedVinyl.com

"What's most surprising is for the record, though, is how quiet and unassuming many of the more experimental tracks are here ... suggesting more of an interest in the full dynamic range of experimental composition than the band's previous work and rambunctious live shows would otherwise indicate." - Kyle Person, Jasper Magazine

"Autocorrect might seem like a musical jigsaw, but it’s a jumble that the group has more than figured out, assembling its varied elements with skillful precision." - Michael Spawn, Free Times

"There’s self deprecation and then there’s @cecilnick & @autocorrectnoiz" - @tribeonewon
