Ep 13: Hey, ily "Internet Breath

Tellin W Ellen Ep 13: Hey, ily "Internet Breath"

80s shoegaze inspired track, first full band single.

Post Normal Life

Once you let me start
I ain't never gonna stop
You made a big mistake
When you asked for an Opp
Thought your shit was weak from the get-go, the prologue
Had to turn it off by Drowning in the swamp
See why you got features on your shit
they had to carry ya
Why'd you grab the losing team?
you shoulda grabbed the merrier
Analog horrors, don't you got any scarier?
I'ma make the whole scene a wave of hysteria
I'ma take you to the cemetery and then bury ya
Then I'll bring you back
Like a motherfucking sorcerer
Kill you real slow again
just call me your torturer

Try to mess with me?
That's as hopeless as your interlude
Ask me about it
I might grant you an interview
Nah I'm the one who asks the questions
you just a reply guy
see you posting gifs on main
I just ask why guy?
Oh you were born in 96?    
now it's fucking making sense
nearly gen z, but millennial it's obvious
 
Keep your ass in Ohio playing fucking synths
Just western enough to call yourself mid-fuckin west
Hide from them conservatives
State that backs the GOP? That's somewhere I could never live
Bring that shit to South Philly, we'll make you a filet-o-fish
And I ain't talkin sandwiches
I ain't talkin McDonalds
I ain't talkin Sludge City
Don't even get on the mic
You cannot fuck with me

That's just a taste
That's a small fry
You don't wanna see the large fry
You don't wanna see the supersize
Don't even come at me

CacoPHONY

I been tappin' my toes like sonic
Y'all been afk all day
see you kick on Cacophony kid, they already catatonic
doin it and you sounding like you used to use hooked on phonics
I'ma get covid positive and then I'ma cough on you
ain't you seen the memes? They already dead,
so you should get off of em  

This is for dr pepper dawg, I'm taking shots all 23 flavors,
 how you gonna start a 3v1 with 2 shots in your chamber
I really think you fucked up in assessing your situation
picked on easy targets, not the one who's truly dangerous

Now I'm gonna get locked in oh oh
everybody tellin me 'sock him oh oh
hit you wit the back to back to back like OVO hoe goddamn

You shoulda stayed retired
21 years around the sun and then you just expired
I put you to sleep, hypnosis for me
just look at the coin on the wire

is you taking notes on a criminal conspiracy
motherfucker I am going to lyrically
dress you down like a mannequin
I guess you better be panickin'

Maybe you should worry bout your comp cover
maybe you should worry bout red sun
maybe you really shoulda thought harder
fore you tweeted out come get some
If you now choose to respond
then you're dumber than I thought, on God.

Dan Mace Me

Wanna play Sega? Let's play sega 
Virtua Fighter 93, back then ain't a glint in the eye of your daddy
Hadn't even seen that your mom was a baddy
Why'd I bring the family into it cuz this is rap shit
Motherfucka this to me's just practice

Get down stay down 
I'ma do what Nintendon't now
Heard they for t3h kiddies, that's the pool that you swim in
Why you still treatin' this shit like exhibition?
why you Dreamin' bout Dreamcast like it's 99 
bitch back then you weren't even alive
 
Get down stay down
Get down stay down

flip a sample of my own song in your beat?
Had to do some gimmick shit for relevancy?
Really cuz you ain't got the flows for this beef
Say it does, the size of your nose will increase

Oh I get it now you ain't got no other option
must by why youre comin in mumblin' over pop shit
Stop it you just adopted 
Late to the party but hey it's not your fault kid
I was raised on a sega genesis cartridge

Boom shakalala I'm feeling this jam
I'ma choose Blanka in a fighting Tournament
You cannot block my electrocution 
Picking up this golden axe with my hand
Hackin and slashin your ass to death
You're a micromachine, so pipe down pipsqueak
Mouse in the house who's fallin for illusions
Seems like a really bad case of delusion
Thinking in this fight you could ever do shit
Screamin for your likfe that's right that's you bitchhh

Virtua Fight Me

I don't do well with unpredictability
Show up, you bail, guess you've had your fill of me
Attention is held, only temporarily
Just a small step on your path now I'm warily

Squeezing through shafts in caves
just to make sure to evade
All of the light you shine
Now I gotta stay away

Feels like the rocks are caving in
May stay down here not resurface
Only echoes of my voice round here
Learning to not hate what I hear

Didn't Prepare
For this possibility
Saw it coming
but Lost all my mobility

I can't turn my head, look straight
I can't breathe I'll take up too much space
Embracing the jet black darkness
I can't say I didn't ask for this

I don't do well with unpredictability
Show up you bail guess you've had your fill of me
