DJGonzuc Such a gorgeous sound!
The on-point instrumentals and some pretty perfectly spun lyrics have me hooked.
Wouldnt have made it through the last few workdays without 'em! Favorite track: Your Shoes.

Mild Eerie 02:26
Too late Everything’s changed Too late Everything’s strange I’ve been watching you through the glow of the orb Man it’s just too bad we can’t go back to before Too bad Table’s been cleared So sad Everything’s weird Man you fucked me up It’s the craziest thing Now I’m stuck in the mud And I just wanna sing My darling, my darling You never have to worry I’m coming, I’m coming home to you Relax, we’ll think of something Don’t even have to hurry I really want to make it work for you You’re not you anymore I don’t know what to do anymore I’m all inside out With my brain on display If you looked me up You could see my dismay I’m not me anymore I don’t know who to be anymore Man I’m out in sp ace It’s the wildest thing Got a messed up face And I just wanna sing

The Yeah 04:15
They don’t know what I’m thinking I’ve got to project more Start things where they begin and Hit the floor I would think I was winking If I were to blink more But now it feels like I’m sinking And I’m sore I have been witness to many strange things in my time (Fires and deaths and dead men running) And all my decisions I hang up to dry on a line (Hang them somewhere where it’s sunny) I have been busy trying not to fall hard for you (Some folks tell me that I’m funny) ‘Cause I was just lounging alone in my mind and then you showed up carrying a bottle of wine So how should I feel I don’t know what’s real anymore And if you gave me your heart I’d tear it up and turn it into a Piece of art Piece of work I’m a jerk yeah Now my viewpoints are shrinking But I’m still 5’4 I see your shadow slinking By the door Do you know what you’re drinking And what you’re drinking for If you don’t watch out then I might Drink your core I have been dancing through daze to the sound of your voice (Hark the lo-fi angels singing) ‘Cause if I can drown in it then I can drown out the noise (Pick my ears up when they’re ringing) Hard to find reasons to wake up or even exist (Product of a harsh upbringing) But raincheck on that ‘cause there’s dogs over there I can still make you laugh and I still wrote this Say look at the sky, I can see a cloud passing by And it reminds me of you Well not the cloud, but the parts of sky that are Kinda blue, kinda true, kinda like you Kind of like you I kind of like you? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You can(’t) know what I’m thinking But I’ve got to make it known Without your touch I’m freezing To the bone

Everything is under way Here comes Mister Chainsaw, with muffins in his hair If I had a pull to you I'd drop it in the air Here comes Mister Wagon, who wheels into space Can't you see the serious expression on my face All these days of washing your brain around, I'm tired of it No more adequate reasons to be found, I know my bit All these stories passing your brain around, I'm where I fit Honed in and another one's in the ground Now the wax is melting, you feel it in your eyes Maximize the undertone, release the worried skies Come along I'll take you to spaces in between Now that your propeller's broken what's left to be seen All these days of washing your brain around, I'm tired of it No more adequate reasons to be found, I know my bit All these stories passing your brain around, I'm where I fit Phoned in and another one's in the ground All the way down Underway ground All the way down All the way, all the way down

You chased me, jaws wide open. We fell into the grass, spiraling into the flowers, and laughed and laughed. In that moment and forever after, I wrote more songs for you than I’ve ever sung in my life. The simple things are really the most complicated If you don’t break apart it’s likely you’re not gonna make it I’m hurrying down a dark corridor to get to you Even though I’m not really sure that you know the truth Don’t torture me Sadboy I know you know that you don’t know what you want I know you know Have you seen my hat? Been looking for it all day Think I might’ve left it at your place Think I might’ve left it at your place Can’t help but miss the good old days I think I might’ve left them at your place Come on, come on, baby Let me have your ear I’m gonna take you down and build you up again I’m gonna make you work, the night ain’t endin’ yet ‘Cause you’re my favorite toy, and I’m ready to play Sweet sweet little boy, won’t you stay? Stay… At the end of the day I just wanna look so far beyond the surface of the orb And see what you’re up to Cause underneath my dismay is a smile I admit I cannot hope to realistically afford Unless I corrupt you I’ve traveled to many lands ancient sands pineal glands island resorts and many other different kinds of sorts of things you could think of But I’ve never found anything that was remotely fascinating enough to excite me as much as traveling through your thoughts

Kicked In 03:11
[CHIMAERA] Lost in a hotel garden Hangin’ on the phone Don’t really like this party Think I’m goin’ home I don’t really like this party And I think I’m going home Feel like starting something But I’m all alone All alone I’m all alone I’m all alone [CHORUS] I’m gonna get kicked in You’re gonna smash my wits in This interaction’s scripted Wish that you weren’t so gifted I’m gonna get kicked in You’re gonna smash my wits in This interaction’s scripted Wish we could match the wind [VESENT] I’ve been kicked in for quite a while It’s such a way to make my producer smile I gotta say, I gotta get away Just for a fraction of a day Some folks like to get kicked out, kicked down, kicked up, or some other route But I remain quite the same, and it’s no sin To every once in a while get kicked in [CHORUS] I’m gonna get kicked in You’re gonna smash my wits in This interaction’s scripted Wish that you weren’t so twisted

Watch out, watch out, killer on the loose Get down, get down before you make him choose Choose what? Well it’s really up to you Daydreaming of nightmares I remember how he would forget Falling down your back stairs Haven’t felt a single feeling yet Too close, too close, rabbit on the run Verbose sucrose, we’re having too much fun Who knows, who knows just how the damage’s done I caused it most and you’re the only one Pay attention to me I’m the one who’s haunting all your dreams Nothing could subdue me Nothing’s really (?) as it seems I’m paying attention To all the wrong things Paying too much attention To all the wrong things I’m not backing down Not when I’m two inches closer to you I’m just breaking out I’m not gonna lose you to me Watch out, watch out, burnout on the fritz Think I might’ve taken one too many hits I’ll just go out and join the ballin’ blitz My mind’s not really something that I’d miss Tossing in my sleep now I forget just how to remember him Feel like such a creep now Such bright light, but now I’m growing dim Flip the switch Did I flip the switch? You flipped the switch Who flipped the switch Was it hit or miss?

Beneath U 03:36
I said “I like the way you smile with your whole face Like a triangle” And then you said [….] I don’t remember what you said I guess I’m still not over you If I could fly then I’d be over you I hope you don’t think I’m beneath you If I could tunnel like a mole Then I’d be beneath you Said a lot of things that I regret And I also didn’t say a lot of things that I would regret even more You gotta admire my restraint What were you even looking for anyway? “I just didn’t wanna do anything too untowards,” that’s what I say when the situation feels unsure I guess I’m still not over you If I could fly then I’d be over you I hope you don’t think I’m beneath you If I could tunnel like a mole Then I’d be beneath you Beneath you

Your Shoes 04:56
I’ve always understood what it feels like to stand in your shoes I gotta put both feet in one of them and then hop out and find someone new And I’ve been very reasonable in my approximations of what you do I gotta keep on pushing, keep on pushing, keep on pushing till I can push through you Till I can push through you You’re looming overhead when everything is underway I gotta couple of favors to ask of you if you think you’ve got the time today Something complete that I can tell you Something concrete that I can spell out Taste of defeat, that’s what’s in my generation That occurs quite frequently in my workstation I don’t think that’s incorrect I don’t think that’s nothing You could flip me on my head We could start combusting Still this darkness bristling behind the surface of something shy I’m running through the jagged shapes of falling leaves that confuse the night Will we have a chance to blend ourselves together before we die I’m thinking I won’t die for a very long time I’ve always empathized with everything that you’ve been through I’ve always tried my best to synthesize solutions that could work for you And I’ve been feeling nervous somehow hoping you’d feel nervous too And still I keep on pushing keep on pushing keep on pushing till I misconstrue you Till I misconstrue you You’re playing with my head While you let your body be a toy Man, there’s a lot of things that I’d do to you If you think that you could take it boyyy Something so bad something so evil Something that you might find agreeable I’d stay and chat but I’ve got work in the morning Organizing the people that I’m controlling I don’t think it’s wrong of me I don’t think it’s perfect You could sweep me off my feet I could be your subject Still this electricity can hold me fast to the better times I’m peering at the demon that’s always watching me from behind your eyes Will we have a chance to take our shoes off before we go inside I’m thinking there’s a very good chance we might I’ve always understood I’ve always understood you I’ve always understood I, I, I, I, I

And I am foreign And I am fake I‘m so forlorn I’ve got no space I think you’re better Better without a face Don’t get me wrong now Ooh I just like you that way John Cage I’m just a blunder But you’re a crime Don’t need your lovin’ Cause I got mine Don’t need your money Cause I got time So take a minute To make up your mind John Cage You’re spilling over I’m dripping out I’m getting sober You’re feeling doubt I’m gonna get ya Within withor without I’m gonna love ya Before you figure me out John Cage I’m moving slowly Like in a film I’m feeling lowly I’m getting killed You’re in the mirror You’re looking kind of ill I see you clear now With both precision and skill John Cage

Here we stand on the precipice of crevices (Crush the orb!) Slippy wild flower and the eskimo degenerates (Crush the orb!) Mexican chest pain, my left brain QUIT (Crush the orb!) From outer space, here comes the dominating quick slips (Crush the orb!) Crush the orb, that's what we'll do (Crush the orb!) Crush the orb inside of you (Crush the orb!) Crush the orb, that's what we'll do (Crush the orb!) Crush the orb inside of you (Crush the orb!) Teddy bear torture chamber (Crush the orb!) Ya best fuzzy up your sweet remainder (Crush the orb!) I remember when I first crushed the orb It wasn't too long ago that it had me absorbed Long ago when I was just a virginated bacon slap Orb brought me in to give me dirty dates and favorite snacks Years and years ago at a Speedway gas station I was taken by an individual with no eyes - he said to me: "let's not think too quick, be irrational or sink the ship" - he sternly, but subtly, handed me a treasure, one I would keep by my side forever. A silver, clear mirror of thought, yes, I have this individual to thank for all my current power, this generous stranger handed me my destiny and whispered simply (Crush the orb!) Crush the orb, that's what we'll do (Crush the orb!) Crush the orb inside of you (Crush the orb!) Crush the orb, it feels just great (Crush the orb!) Crush the orb and feel its weight Thinking back on it, the individual may or may not have been part of motorcycle gang that was "out to get me", so to speak, and what I had mistaken for genuine compassion and kind generosity was actually an attempt to get rid of one of the powerful pieces of matter in the galaxy. Now it is my turn to pass it on to an unsuspecting stranger and command them to (Crush the orb!) Crush the orb

Oh, don’t you ever doubt it I’m gonna see us through I couldn’t go without it The devil that’s in you Never had so much fun Dancing on the tip of the devil’s tongue, oh Don’t be alarmed Never thought I’d find relief Hanging by my skin of the devil’s teeth Getting lost in the devil’s arms You go into my mind And pull out my body And now I’ve come to find The devil that’s in me The devil may care I’ll do something to make sure he does He’s in the details, in the woodwork, he’s in all of us He’s watch ing us, and I know that he’s watching me Specifically I’m the one that he wants to see Go to hell just to spend a little more time It’s a sin but it’s no crime, it’s worth dying Used to have idle hands but then he found some work for ‘em Jerk for him, grab his horns, I got a thirst for him I’m cursed for him even when he’s not here But speak of him and he just might appear What do I have to do to get you to come home I’m standing by the window, I’ve waited so long I’ve waited so long I’ve waited so long I’ve waited so long
