keep it one hundred babe
we both know, i'm not the only one
but when i'm there, you treat a woman
real good
and that's probably why i always come, yeah
so lie to me, lie to me, lie to me
so sweet
cause i don't ever want to imagine
all the other ladies like me
ever had a chance, to get in your pants
so

tell me that the pussy is mine, yeah
tell me, tell me baby, that its all mine
tell me that that pussy is mine, ooh
cause i don't wanna believe that anyone

tell me, tell me baby, its all mine
tell me that that pussy is mine, ooh
cause i don't wanna believe anyone
is just like me

I Fell Asleep Like This (Remastered & Replastered)

A Case of You

What you become says way more about you, than where you’re from. I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of mythology. Gods, monsters, archetypes, and legends that dance and elaborate the theatre of life, a mirror for society. I think of the self in this same way: an invention that we develop and that others make for us as we live our lives, both of these ideas eventually creating a deeper truth. I wanted to weave a tapestry of stories about growing up queer in the suburbs of Philadelphia and reflecting back on my personal mythology in a traumatizing household, to see what lessons I could learn from my past, as I remember it in fragments, sounds, and stories others have told me. The themes that remained present throughout this entire project are of violence, the contradiction of safety, and the changing roster of who you consider family throughout a lifetime. I wanted to meditate on the perpetual violence within the seemingly calm world of suburbia, what happens behind closed doors of stark beige cookie-cutter homes with chestnut rooftops. I tried to capture this essence in the form of ambient noise and weird electronic sexuality: a howling chorus of winter valkyries desperately chirping sonic landscapes through the distortion of teenage emotion and the trials of familial secrecy and judgement. Will we see an end to this violence, or will we indulge in the fetish of a silence? With Suburban Legend I fathomed indulgence, self-destructive habits, and the game of risk that we play to experience joy in sterile environments. One day, while writing this album, I came across a sign in Lowe’s that read, “Safety is when nothing happens,” which easily became a personal thesis. I’ve come to the conclusion that safety’s an illusion. This is a suburban myth to me, a suburban legend if you will, that preventing danger from happening is better than experiencing the world in its austere unfamiliarity.
