about

Two things occurred that brought together this track.

One, I love Little Tiny Knife so much and wanted a chance to work with them, and this will be the first of many collabs.

Two, I have a desire to move all of my hip hop lyrics off of beats from producers who are strangers to me and on to beats that are made by people that I know so that we can retain full control of the rights to all of my songs.

In terms of lyrics, if you've been involved in a bad relationship for a long time, or multiple dysfunctional relationships in a row, a good relationship can feel off putting and as if there is wrongness to it. If you've existed for a long time in an unhealthy environment for a long time, the strangeness of a healthy environment feels a little dangerous. If you've spent years being kicked, being hugged can feel frightening.

Unfortunately, sometimes we have a desire to return to things that are bad for us simply because we feel more comfortable with what we've already known.

lyrics

My favorite pastime is now lying in bed next to you
We’re streaming anime on Crunchy Roll, Netflix, and Hulu
And yes I do enjoy the other things that we get up to
But sex has always been around and this is something more profound
The way you squeeze my fingertips releasing all my stress
The way you run your hands through all the hair upon my chest
The way you sigh contentedly whenever you lie next to me
These are the kinds of things that I’d make songs of in the past

But I don’t know if I should write another love song
If it’s not sad it somehow seems like it would feel wrong
And that’s too bad because you’re so much more deserving
But my heart is still emerging and fixated on what’s hurting
So I don’t know if I should write another love song
If it’s not sad it somehow seems like it would feel wrong
And that’s too bad because you’re so much more deserving
But my heart is still emerging and fixated on what’s hurting

And I don’t think you’d hurt me, at least not purposely
Am I so messed up that I’ll run when someones good to me
I’ve been so badly damaged, we’ve never talked about it
But the more I feel the more my heart tries to become robotic
So when you’re good to me, I freeze I don’t know what to say
It’s hard to reciprocate in moments when I feel afraid
I’m holding back those fears, fighting the urge to disappear
I’m sorry this is not romantic but at least it’s all sincere

So I don’t know if I should write another love song
If it’s not sad it somehow seems like it would feel wrong
And that’s too bad because you’re so much more deserving
But my heart is still emerging and fixated on what’s hurting
So I don’t know if I should write another love song
If it’s not sad it somehow seems like it would feel wrong
And that’s too bad because you’re so much more deserving
But my heart is still emerging and fixated on what’s hurting

It’s still emerging, it's still emerging, it's still emerging

And I don’t know if I should write another love song
If it’s not sad it somehow seems like it would feel wrong
And that’s too bad because you’re so much more deserving
But my heart is still emerging and fixated on what’s hurting
So I don’t know if I should write another love song
If it’s not sad it somehow seems like it would feel wrong
And that’s too bad because you’re so much more deserving
But my heart is still emerging and fixated on what’s hurting
