Lyrics:

I lost my callouses for you, and you didn’t even think to ask me how my day was, now I’m leaving.
I couldn’t even count the number of times that I let you in and I made myself small, even though I smiled throughout it all.

When I look back, I can see myself slipping down.

Heaven knows, heaven knows I tried. Heaven knows I tried tonight.

I know it’s not your fault you were born with a spoon in your throat, and a gun in your hand, and a plan for yourself. I’m not grieving.
It’s just a matter of time and a matter of worth, and you’ve known since birth what you like, and I’m happy for you until my face is blue.

When I look back, I can see myself so clear. When I look back, I can see myself slipping down.

Tonight will be the night (heaven knows).
Tonight will be the night (heaven knows I tried).
Tonight will be the night (heaven knows I tried tonight).

AAVE=African American Vernacular English
POC= People of Color

This Episode could have had a couple of names: 
No one wins when veiled anti-blackness among non black POC is a proxy for solidarity

no one wins when you use AAVE and you're not black: the anti blackness of non black POC

no one wins when you're neither black nor really my family so don't call me sis: POC and anti blackness

this episode is onfleeklitbrosishomie

Everybody wanna be black til it's time to dismantle white supremacy

Both vilified and stolen, black folks aren't the only ones benefitting from black linguistic and cultural production.

Get into 20 minutes of outtakes at the end...this episode could have also gone on for hours.

FOR MY FRIEND IAN'S FILM【WHITE CRANE】, COVER PHOTO BY JONNY.


 i could run up to the roof
i’ve got nothing much to lose
the party’s loud and draining
the lonely crowd's just waiting
waiting on another
saving grace to come their way.

i'm blinking red and green
thinkin bout you and me
these paper cranes aren't folding
no more hope withholding
i'm holding on to wither
all thats left is bittersweet

you know, lately, i've been on my knees
so you won't hate me
i’m trying hard to please my fate, forsake me
cause' i don't want to take the blame today

you see the damage is overdone 
what the hell have i become
not even strong enough to say it
that we should celebrate this:
all that is remaining –
why are we both raining the same?

it's the same old empty words
same old lessons learned
down the stairs we’ll shatter
cause' we both know it matters
how could we recover,
if we never rediscover us?

but now lately, i've been on my knees
so you won't hate me
i’m trying hard to please my fate, forsake me
cause' i don't want to take the blame today

"SLOW MOTION" ALBUM COMING SOON (MAY 2019).

i don't – i don't feel hate
for you and all your bullets
no i never did, never have, and i never will.

it pains – i'm sure it pains
that i let you take the bullet
but i'd never mean to shoot, if it didn't kill.

*i'm a robot, waiting till your love rots, to choke it with a dead knot
you'll never know how i feel (if i feel).
it's a one shot, a murder with no gun shot, i tried to care till i could not
you'll never know how i feel (if i feel).

if i feel anything at all
would you be kind
to come around and tear up all this flesh still fresh
from the days i've left behind me?

but i still get flashes from time to time
i feel fear
that i'm fighting
like it's for the first time.

*i'm a robot, waiting till your love rots, to choke it with a dead knot
you'll never know how i feel (if i feel).
it's a one shot, a murder with no gun shot, i tried to care till i could not
you'll never know how i feel (if i feel).
i'm a robot, waiting till your love rots, to choke it with a dead knot
you'll never know how i feel (if i feel).
it's a one shot, a murder with no gun shot, i tried to care till i could not
