teeth

(album: hypochondriac - 2022)

Bloomtodea—
Tell me, dear lady, how will you navigate an uncertain future without the masters of the shadows?
Exclusive

I've been trying to breathe
Staying up past five, grinding my teeth
Uh, I made a couple of beats
Then the whole 'net started capturing me
This shit so overwhelming
Mix self-expression with self-obsession
Hellbent, but that's something I don't wanna tell them
Fighting for my will like the ring is Elden, fucking hell, man

Take a breath before my ego pop
Play a set like I'm a handmade prop
Put the clay in my oven, a petrified sufferer
Restrain it, that's fear-based art
Tainted flesh, it's why the photos cropped
I'm possessed the way I play my part
Farming hatred like gathering trading cards
Spirit degrading, that's fear-based art

I don't know why I can't sleep
Lurk 'til the birds chirp, sigh, and repeat
I hit control, alt, delete
And yet I can't stop manufacturing heat
It's the rapture of the beast, you can't grasp it in the least
Buying acid off the deep web
Blasting off for cheap
It's all my fault baby, I'm just too smart
And for that, I think I need to tear my brain apart, uh

Take a breath before my ego pop
Play a set like I'm a handmade prop
Put the clay in my oven, and petrify suffering
Restrain it, that's fear-based art
Tainted flesh, that's why the photos cropped
I'm possessed the way I play my part
Farming hatred like gathering trading cards
Spirit degrading, that's fear-based art

Shaking, I let it out, but I'm faking
How could I be so mistaken
To waste it on fear-based art? (Bloomto—)
Shaking, the power in me awakened
How could I be so mistaken
To waste it on fear-based art?

I'm guarded, they don't got my back
In my outlet, charging up a heart attack (Shakin')
With my head on a swivel, it give me muscle cramps (Breaking)
And I better not shrivel up, I'm a fucking man
It's so divine to judge
I started walking down that path beyond the winter months
I started flying to L.A. (Shakin') 'cause I could jitterbug
It drove me crazy (Breaking), now I'm certain I'm the chosen one, yeah

Take a breath before my ego pop (Oh no)
Play a set like I'm a handmade prop
Put the clay in my oven, and petrify suffering
Stain it, that's fear-based art
Tainted flesh, it's why the photos cropped
I'm possessed the way I play my part
Farming hatred like gathering trading cards (Ah)

My lungs are caving
Spent eight weeks tweaking in the basement
Found a problem in her statement
Do I trust her when she say she wanna get acquainted?
She say she wanna be my best friend
But I can't hang around no yes-men
Shovel fake love out the hole that I stepped in
No time, I already lost my adolescence
You think you're better than me?
But offline, you're nowhere to be seen
You think I'm lying that I'm letting you breathe?
Hanging off your banister by my crooked teeth
