maybe if I could write you down we'd see maybe you'd think I'm trying to make you fall for me sometimes feelings aren't poetic at all sometimes the veil goes up and the walls fall you're the most unexpected melody this is uncharted territory maybe we could learn to breathe underwater and maybe it'll be okay wolf's teeth in the light of day I wanna see, explore this intimacy with you I wanna fly, watch the birth of the universe in my eyes maybe we could learn to breathe underwater and maybe it'll be okay, like rainfall in the springs of may maybe we'll be good maybe we won't last I can't promise you forever but I can love you right now do you wanna be loved, oh love do you wanna be loved, oh love we've all got reasons to be jaded but that shouldn't mean we're alone and maybe we'll be good or maybe we won't last but we'll never know if we don't try do you wanna try love oh love, love love, love do I

yes 04:49
you catch me looking what? you say – nothing. you stare tell me it's okay. say it and I want to, but what would I say? that yes. I do want you to fuck me. yes. I want you to fuck me like it's the last sex you'll ever have like the world is falling to pieces and our love is the only thing that can save it like you'll run out of breath if you stop kissing me biting me like the fire between our bodies is the very spark that set creation in motion drink me like I'm the best thing you've ever tasted like mine are the only waters left I want you to fuck me like it's our salvation. to play my moans like your favourite song to make a symphony of me play my body like a dub riddim fingers stroking every note skin against skin love me like kette and djembe love me drum and bass waists wining vibrating doh stop yet I want you to choke me let me show you how much I trust you watch my eyes roll back then breathe me back to life fuck me bones against concrete walls bare ass on counter tops hands tied fuck me like 90s dancehall raw uncensored rough loud like rebellion like we alone can destroy the patriarchy fuck me with meaning like our black and gold is beautiful enough to end colourism fuck me fast like all our demons are chasing us then slow like brown rizzla or ackee opening or honey fuck. love me. love me soft love me cotton and silk kisses 'til you cover every inch of me with the ganja on your lips cohiba roots like vines across my flesh love me smoke and gasping breath love me like you came to learn new languages leave you speaking in tongues licking, tasting every single drip don't waste a drop leave me digging nails into sheets and flesh hands in your hair summoning seasons and gods with these chords as I tremble love me in earthquakes lightning and hurricanes then calm we enter the eye mine open and mek four with yours this. is what I want. this. and more still as I look at you lay you on your back and show you all the ways I'd like to return the favour the exact. same. way. can't you see it in my eyes? the ways I want to love you holy like white rum anoint all the neglected parts of your heart body spirit love you in harmony sigh simultaneous make you moan melodically make the neighbours jealous of us inside each other fuck. I want to love you. but I can't say this, can I? say it. you say I wrote (you) a poem I reply

about

this year has been the true definition of change. year of five. it’s been unexpected. unrefined. unmixed. RAW.

this project captures a journey that has also taken many unexpected turns. with very limited equipment, I poured out my feelings at each shift and decided to leave them mostly as is. because isn’t that what being human is about? this filtered virtual world sometimes gives the illusion that real life can be edited. softened. maintained in a way to give the image of perfection. the digital music industry would not appreciate this sound for precisely all the reasons I love it. the third track is the first and only recording of that song. that is the entire songwriting session, with nothing but a little reverb and compression. the final track is an excerpt from my upcoming debut poetry anthology, set to music in a first time experimental process. this is undoubtedly one of my most vulnerable bodies of work.

enjoy the story. listen to the lyrics. experience the movement from one feeling to the next, and let it be whatever it decides to be in your body.

thank you for listening.
