I don't know we’re going to have to see some shit that we don't want to see Sometimes you get what you want, Sometimes you don't want what you get, We’re gonna let you hear what you wanna hear, And talk about the shit that you don't want to see We gone have to see some shit that we don’t want to see, I ain't talking clone shit when I say another you and another me We gone have to be some shit that we don't want to be I ain't talking clone shit when I say another you and another me Don't treat that passion like a waving flag, Don't walter white, Don't break king! Bad dreams in a place that you can’t leave, Inhale when it gets hard to breathe, Nothing’s ever grown, Without attention to the seeds Don’t falter your steps Don't, Please, ever let em see you bleed blood in the water Seas seized by the enemies We may be injured don't let em see you bleed We may be injured Don’t let em see you bleed Yelling at the sky Hoping for resolve Why am I working just to get you off I can’t tell Plan for the middle of the night Still a quarter to three Dollars in my pocket that I use to eat Money aint a thing But a violent sea That I can’t see, Floating Aren’t you tired, Aren’t you tired of the daily, Chrome babies reflecting way too much Chrome babies hot to the touch We left them To take pictures Chrome children Reflecting a world that shows them what to chase The cash The race The race The race Aren’t you tired On troubled waters Trouble is I can't be bothered Bothered lips means soldered lips Hard to open Frozen fists in the air forever there Use your broken picket signs to walk when your legs grow weak Hold you up or drop it cause we all have our needs But I can see the wolves standing still baring their teeth They’ll hear out everything you say But midnight’s not the time to speak So remember even when you feel complacent No alarm To be ready Minute men don't tremble when minutia become heavy Men that steal and levy taxes from minds impacted By the enemy that you can’t tell From the crowds passing We may be way too relaxed for what’s happening I swear we’re on a ship but I can't find the captain So Im looking and its hard cause i want to be relaxing But i realize that we can’t we’re all impacted Can’t you see the truth is coming way too fast Can’t you see that we will not all last Unless we all get off our ass And do something that we can’t Even think about at the moment I feel like our moment was stole And nobody wants it back I feel like we need a plan of attack

Mansions 03:42
Who’s there Who’s there Who’s there Who’s there Who’s there, Inside my mind, There's no one around, But i'm inclined, To think it’s not what I see but how i've come to find, Myself in a place, My inner space , Where I cannot hide I hop up and close the door, Shudder and shut all the blinds, Thunder colors the walls blue, And wind blows through my piece of mind Whos there inside my soul My way or the highway but they both take their toll And I pay rent for the time i've spent in the mansion of the mind I can make back all my money But I can't make back my time That i spent moving from room to room I promise to clean that one soon And that one soon Sun chase the moon Dust in the wind Swept off my feet Celestial broom Who’s here inside my Wait What do I own What’s real What stake do I have in the possessions Mind’s rich with such poor questions Mind rich with these obsessions Things that I keep collecting Tricked myself I Thought I'd grown Falling slow I thought I’d flown Solid show I thought I’d shown Why can’t I be left alone Didn't I pay for this silence?

Black and white daydreams Beautiful nightmares You make me carefree You’ve got two green gems you've convinced the world you see through, you sing hymns when you speak your words, I'm transparent, Yes I’m see through, translate my silence got no more words, you've paid me attention, I just pay it forwards, your beauty is immaculate, the truth in four words, Id exchange for three, casually keep it free The meaning of your name Don't quite match your description Sade, soldier for your love You've got me gleefully enlisted It's so easy to be present In your presence Yes you're gifted Listening to elevated In an elevator spirits lifted Croissants behind a crescent moon, We dance to such a timeless tune Like Claire de lune Don't worry about where we are Where we've been or Where we can be Sade Sweetest taboo Though candy can't be half as suite As an unfinished hotel room Dipped in sugar And when we meet that is a time that we cannot replicate Now I feel like it’s delicate This thing that we’ve built here And I know it can’t last As long as we stay here On top of this young moon On top of the young sun I like how we tell the other Yes Here we come Chasing all these seasons Something to believe in Ninth wonder of the world Black and white daydreams Beautiful nightmares You make me carefree

Transfixed on the palm trees Tires gripping asphalt Pedal hits the car floor Fast as this car will go I know should turn around I know should change this fate I know should make U turns I know that would feel great Transfixed on the palm trees Tires gripping asphalt Pedal hits the car floor Fast as this car will go I know should turn around I know that would feel great I know should make U turns I know should change this fate But I find you When I seek truth I find you When I seek truth Transfixed on the palm trees Tires gripping asphalt Pedal hits the car floor Fast as this car will go I know should turn around I know should change this fate I know should make U turns I know that would feel great Transfixed on the palm trees Tires gripping asphalt Pedal hits the car floor Fast as this car will go I know should turn around I know that would feel great I know should change this fate I know I should But I find you When I seek truth I find you When I seek Truth Now you said you wanted something different That's not something that I can be We get tired of everything And that's including novelty So I brought your favorite book And I brought your favorite tea Riding on these waves of change Hoping for consistent seas You said you wanted something new That's not something that I provide You said your favorite weather was rain Sorry I’m a clear sky So i brought your favorite food And I brought your favorite things Realizing it will all grow old That's the only guarantee Now you said you wanted something different That's not something that I can be We get tired of everything And that's including novelty You said you wanted something new That's not something that I provide If we can’t catch what we love, Let’s free the love and watch it fly

I got dreams, Made of sand, I don't know where to put all the pieces I got hope But no plan Wasted time makes for beautiful beaches I don't know if time heals us all But I cannot wait for that resolve I got dreams, Made of sand, I don't know where to put all the pieces I got hopes But no plans Wasted time makes beautiful beaches If all we had was time And if all we had were feelings What would you need If all we had was time What would be worth it And if all we had were feelings Tell me what would you need I got dreams, Made of sand, I don't know where to put all the pieces I got hopes But no plans Wasted time makes beautiful beaches I don't know if time heals us all But I cannot wait for that resolve If all we had was time Tell me what would be worth it If all we had were feelings Tell me what would you need If all we had was time If all we had was time If all we had was time If all we had was time

about

Frequent Trips to the Moon can be a soundscape or a story. Touching on themes of interiority, relationships, reconciliation, and contradiction, this recording’s sprawling energy is both expansive and familiar. The EP’s full arc carries listeners over intense peaks and through careful minimals, and was conceptualized as a single work. With the collective amalgamation of our musical influences, one hears a mixture of jazz chords, hard grooves, poetry and rap based lyricism, and an approachable sensibility that makes these songs simultaneously playfully nuanced and easy to engage with. We hope it resonates differently with each listen and listener.
