Mirror

━━━━━━━━☆ʙʀᴜɪsᴇs ᴀɴᴅ sᴀᴛɪɴ☆━━━━━━━━
here we are 
here we go 
can we do this
i'm not sure

bruises and satin 
and spiderwebs to catch him

you make me feel like i'd be happy if i tried
you make me want to put some effort in my life 

too much of my time
too much of my life
writing songs for people
while the stars fall from the sky
i hate it when i cry 
you said you didn't mind
you hold me and i fight back 
all the tears that fill my eyes

i'm so sorry
i'm so sorry
i'm so sorry 
that i 
i'm so sorry
i'm so sorry
i'm so sorry 
started crying 
started crying 
started crying 

[bruises and satin
and spiderwebs to catch him]

you make me feel like i'd be happy if i tried
you make me want to put some effort in my life

i'm so sorry 
i'm so sorry
i'm so sorry 
that i 
i'm so sorry 
i'm so sorry
i'm so sorry

bruises and satin

━━━━━━━━☆ɢʟᴏʀɪᴏᴜs ᴅɪsᴀsᴛᴇʀ☆━━━━━━━━
by this time next year
you'll be wanting to forget about me
can i make this clear
you know nothing, nothing about me

i always jump the gun
at least i'm having fun
i always jump the gun

you lay your head 
on my chest and
you hear the things
i haven't said yet
you cleaned my scars
and touched my stitches
tear me apart
that's what my wish is

i still regret the way i kissed you
addicted to the thought of rescue
but i was just, a flightless dove
a vision of, my tortured virtue

[i am a glorious disaster
poison, your heart is beating faster]

i wanna hear 
all the things that you're thinking about me
you told me dear
 you don't know what to do now without me

i always jump the gun
at least i'm havin fun
i always jump the gun 

you love me cause you wanna fix me
your labyrinth, your greatest mystery
it's written in my family history
please sign right here to indicate you're missing me

[i am a glorious disaster
poison, your heart is beating faster]

glorious disaster

━━━━━━━━☆ғᴏʀɢᴇᴛ ᴍᴇ ɴᴏᴛ☆━━━━━━━━
if you saw the way 
i tried to save myself so i could swim
if i had a guess its probably best 
if you dont let me in

i'm so tired of the people 
who just tell me to relax
if i had to guess its probably best
for you to check the facts

and if you know it can be hard to forget
it's been three years and i still haven't slept

[forget me
forget me not
you left me 
you left me to rot
forget me 
forget me not yet]

i wish that i could flip a switch
or take a pill to make it better
you say that it can't rain forever
but i'm fucking tired of this weather

one of these days they say
that i will wake up
this is just a phase
if i could guess you're just upset
you can't have everything your way

and if you know it can be hard to forget
it's been three years and i still haven't slept

[forget me
forget me not
you left me 
you left me to rot
forget me 
forget me not yet]

i don't think i'll ever learn my lesson
you ignore the facts 
so i'm still second guessing

forget me not

━━━━━━━━☆ᴅᴀʏ ʙʏ ᴅᴀʏ/ʙᴏx ᴏғ ᴄᴀʀᴅs☆━━━━━━━━
i stole a pocketwatch 
from the last place 
that i saw your face
i stole a box of cards
from that corner store 
where we used to say

i'm tired of this rundown
i feel like everything
just starts to feel the same

[day by day]

i freeze up when you talk
and i don't know what i should say
i tried to impress you 
and that's the price i have to pay

i'm tired of this rundown
i feel like everything
just starts to feel the same

[day by day
it's never gunna change]

Pre-order Levitation here: http://smarturl.it/FlamingodsLevitation

International psych explorers Flamingods are back with brand new album ‘Levitation’ (3 May, Moshi Moshi Records) and have announced a run of dates including their biggest headline show to date at London’s Village Underground on 1 May.

The first single to be unveiled is ‘Marigold’, a multi-sensory psych-rock trip that finds  Flamingods on hair-raising form even by their own exuberant standards. ‘Marigold’ oozes fun out of every pore, a perfect antidote to turbulent times.

‘Levitation’ is inspired largely by the disco, funk and psychedelic sounds coming out of the Middle East and South Asia in the 70s, the album channels these influences through a vision soaked in mysticism, positivity and sun-drenched imagery.

‘Levitation’ is the follow-up to Flamingods’ breakthrough 2016 album ‘Majesty’ 
The band will be taking their incendiary live show to venues around the UK in April and May in support of the record, as well as a one-off-date supporting Omar Souleyman in Bristol January 31st. 

May album tour tickets go on sale Friday 17 January at 10am via

When you fall out
When you fall out of love
On my feet begging please
Baby won't you come back to me

When you fell out of love
I fell down further
Then I thought I had done before
I wanted to be further in love with you

When I fell out of love
I fell back down further then I fell in
When I fell out of touch
I wanted to get back where we started

Baby I have been back
So far in the past in my mind
I think about you so much more
Then I know is productive
It's unproductive

I thought you had taken me
Back to the place I wanted to be
I thought that we were going
Back where we started

I can never be as good as she has
I can never be as good as some spell cast
I can't stay here while your loving is half assed
Cause I won't compete with some idealized past

I had made it up in my mind
I thought you were the one that time
That night when you asked me to dance
You took my hand and you led me

You led me out on the floor
The lights go down
And baby I wanted more from you
And later when we got home
You tucked me in and left me wanting more

I thought you had taken me
Back to the place I wanted to be
I thought that we were going
Back where we started

I can never be as good as she has
I can never be as good as some spell cast
I can't stay here while your loving is half assed
Cause I won't compete with some idealized past

Comin at me u better move

and my hunneds cant breathe they all blue
and my wrist so sick its skippin school

Oh yea! Oh yea!

Big bad wolf my style
Don't know nothing else
Blow shit down like a house

Bid my blood to run and go into my skull
When i get my money pockets marsupial

CRAIG XEN:
These lil n*ggas got me bent!
Tint!
I hide behind it
With my bitch
I keep two
I like mix and match
Is she thick? (no!)
Damn slim
Just like Jenny Craig
Give me neck
Make it long
Like a giraffe

I say splish splash!
All you n*ggas wish wish washy
Wonky while you move
Bussin true I'm too solid
Bitch I'm in that mood
In my mode you cant stop me
Cocky know you hate me all I do is make deposits
Bich I'm off the leash three-headed no barkin
I dont fuck with n*ggas so im taxin while I'm chargin
Fuck a bargain
need my bank account larger and larger!

KING YOSEF:
Motherfuckers still be hatin but remember the name
If this was a fucking race they're still standing in place
They can still catch a fade
And they can still feel the hate
Because they're so lazy when they chase it
need to fucking face
already at the top motherfuckers can't say shit

FIFTY GRAND:
I let you run for now
Go with the fog
Your blessings will run low
Commit the fall
In time we'll let the hounds out
Go with the thought
We gather all your insides now

The third single from the debut LP, Alright Already, out everywhere on March 15, 2019.

Alright Already

I'm Movin' On

I see you in the night time coming through
You see me in the daytime coming to
Boy always taking you away from me
Thought you were the one but baby
You were wrong

So so
You were so-so
You were so
So
Far gone
So long

See you around
See you a-round
See you 'round
See you

I caught you with the door locked after dawn
You saying it's nothing
To move along
The more I think about it every day
Already tried to fix you
Your fixing
So I'm moving on

So long
So long
I'll see you around
I'll see you
I'll see you around
I'll see you 'round
I'll see you

I'll see you around
I'll see you around
I'll see you around
I'll see you
I'll see you

Caracal
