This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, after running down new releases, I talk a bit about Joe Biden's team probably putting the nail in the coffin of his re-election chances -- love him, hate him, or feel indifferent towards him, the decision to skip the cognitive test is a masterclass in fucking up.

You was raised around a dreamy suburbia 
Mailmen tips, and a smile to be courteous 
Unlocked doors and the whip passed down 
Where the olds folks stare and the kids lash out 
I know- the faces around you pass by 
And your Brain erases em 
With last night
Like when your savior comes 
You’ll be fine 
I get it
You was raised to see a man like me 
As arts crafts; that you can stand by pleased
Like look what I made 
Look what I changed 
Look what I been through and look at who stayed 
The pools cold 
Dirty as the sky 
baby who knows? 
Outta sight 
Outta outta mind
Outta use go
MIA and just hide 
Im…

Hook: 
Isolated
Tucked for a tough sec. 
I debate it. 
Tryna change subjects
Finally say it- Now they all upset 
I shoulda known. 


Verse 2:
I was raised by the broken and poor folk 
Bumps on a greyhound speaking in Morse code 
The blood clot, clocked in, keepin the bills paid 
Where you say I’m alright but not in a real way 
it’s not your fault I know 
It’s not your call I know 
But it seems that a line gets drawn in the sand 
When you’re born with the world i the palm of your hands 
I count the stars aligning for you 
Curse gods while they just spoil you 
Two different types of loyal 
You know what I’d do for stability?
I want a mill’ a week 
Like don’t let the village see
I’d be one of them too…none of it really means a damn thing 
Cuz I’m just like you 
Unaware what a man might do
I’m… 

Outro:
Isolated 
I won’t make it 
My beds made 
I shoulda known

Dreamy Suburbia

I hope you guys like this one. I've been playing it off my phone for the homies for like a year- just waiting for this day. I'm kinda scared. Dont let the guitars fool you. We still barring out. But aye- being scared? That’s the fun. Thats where the magic happens. Life is the scariest movie...I love y'all forever!! - trav

Lyrics: 
We been lost faith 
Been not right in my mind 
I fix my face 
Grit my teeth and get by cause 
The bliss feels like boredom 
Humbled by the morning light 
Glitz, glamour, boredom 
Humbled by the morning light 

Been lost faith
Been lost fades 
Losing myself yeah they been lost trace 
On a manhunt 
Everything is hands on 
Everybody spineless
Find 2 to stand on 
‘For you come talking at me 
I’m often blasted 
I talk to ghosts around awkward caskets 
I’ve popped the tablets 
I’ve copped the fabrics 
I’ve met the legends, they often average
I lose faith
When I’m upset or see the sunset 
And new days
Feel like old ones, im high and so strung 
And you say 
I just forfeit the most important 
And choose fates 
For everyone with such disregard 
But shit I 

(hook)

Humbled by the birds 
Lost my mind tonight 
I cant find the words 
I fucked up 
Im sorry god damn what you want?
It’s a…
Gut punch to the one I love 
Slept in all 50 states and not one I touched 
Felt safe 
Living hell scape 
But it’s up and stuck there 
I speak they just stare 
I’m west of whats right 
east of what’s fair 
Said just this one time 
Now peace is just rare 
I’ve seen too much there 
We been lost faith.

Also doing slowed + reverb music now lol

To those of you looking for the slowed + reverb version of "Benji the Dog" by Mac Miller (RIP), it was copyright claimed after 15,000 plays. If you're desperate for the mp3, dm me here and we can work something out.
