LYRICS:

No one gave me shit
I worked for this
At this point I’m just
done with encouragement
You say talented
I say calluses
I’m tasting my blood just pronouncing it
Since Fairfield days
The beats I made
I may have quit drinking but dream the same

I was told this the moon
Like good luck, Mr. Rocket Shoes

And they ask me why you workin’
All days of the week
To get somewhere you’ll never reach

I’ve been wishin’ for better so long
I guess I’m sick of wishing in by bed alone
If those wishes were weapons
Their full metal jackets are stuck
So fuck wishin’, I’m here with a gun
Jiminy Cricket never made me anyone
All my clips are full of bitterness
And I’m coming for you
I’ma bloom like a wicked magnolia

I’m not stoppin’ this
Just the opposite
I won’t drop when most people need oxygen
Since the green Lexus
Since the weed excess
Since the drink was my treatment for depression
Man, my lips been blue
Fuck what stitches do
I’ll put red on this mic like it’s ’92

I was told this the moon
Like good luck, Mr. Rocket Shoes

And they ask me why you workin’
All days of the week
Toward something you’ll never be

I’ve been wishin’ for better so long
I guess I’m sick of wishing in by bed alone
If those wishes were weapons
Their full metal jackets are stuck
So fuck wishin’, I’m here with a gun
Jiminy Cricket never made me anyone
All my clips are full of bitterness
And I’m coming for you
I’ma bloom like a wicked magnolia

Until I’m taken by weeds
My will is my leprosy
Instead of wounds that scrape the sheets
I’ve got no turn back in me
So set glass beneath my feet
Take the last breath that I need
To meet what glows beyond my reach
I’ll become a tragedy

There’s is no hell that spells retreat
Fuck your gravity
This to the grave
This to the grave

Mr. Rocket Shoes

FACETIME (feat. han.irl<3)

As well as the previous one, i wasn't able to finish this track as my apartment was burglarised on October 2020.
Around July 2020, i've randomly sent some music to a dear friend of mine: Simon Heah, because he wanted to hear it.
Here is what's left, as well as other lo-fi recordings that i will only share on Soundcloud.
The thieves stole my musical equipment, my computer and the usbs where i kept the projects at the time, gladly i was able to send some audio files to Simon.
There is no reason for me to holding on to it, so here it is...

Sky Blue Skin was recorded mainly around July of 2020, in my home studio.

Verse 1:

She says I’m cyni-cynical
And that I’m so out of control
I’m always frontin’ wasting time on the ephemeral
Whiskey mixed with little bits of Adderall

I need a break
I need to fly with you
I need a little more time to vibe with you
Get loose get three for two
I want a little bit of wine get high with you

Pre-Chorus:

Come my lady
Show me what I’m missing lately
While I’m on the edge

Chorus:

She says I’m cyni-cynical
And that I’m so out of control
Oh what I would give, oh what I would give
To not be cyni-cynical

Verse 2:

She calling me again a dirty liar
Cause my pants always be on fire
My bad didn't see
I love me some good controversy
I’m gonna get take out A La Carte
Hit the town hard with the Mastercard
Call my boys, have a beer
Cause I haven’t done that since yesteryear

Pre-Chorus:

Come my lady
Show me what I’m missing lately
While I’m on the edge

Chorus:

She says I’m cyni-cynical
And that I’m so out of control
Oh what I would give, oh what I would give
To not be cyni-cynical

Our first single off of our upcoming sophomore album "Act II: Circus of the Sky"

Freak Like Me

Say more than you’ve ever said  
But the words mean nothin’  
Been try tryin’ hard to connect  
But you’re changing the subject 
 
Yeah I just wanna go 
Go home alone I’m dyin’ 
No I don’t really know  
Know why I was invited 
 
 
And I’m running out of time 
Adding up like 
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 
Days are numbered I need more 
And I want more from this life 
Counting down like 
4 and 3 and 2 and 1 
Not much left until we’re done  
 
 
Hate that all my thoughts drop off  
Of your ears so alone 
Walk out of the bar too loud 
Breakin’ down in my voice notes 
 
Yeah I just wanna go 
Go home alone I’m dyin’ 
No I don’t really know  
Know why I was invited 
 
And I’m running out of time 
Adding up like 
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 
Days are numbered I need more 
And I want more from this life 
Counting down like 
4 and 3 and 2 and 1 
Not much left until we’re done  
 
And I want more from this life 
Counting down like 
4 and 3 and 2 and 1 
Not much left until we’re done

Now That We're Alone

Conrad and Fetti Confetti are brothers. In 2018, they started a circus as two misunderstood elephants. They made light out of the darkness in the world and grew the Confetti Circus into an organic, thriving and supportive community of likeminded misfits.

Welcome to the circus, let’s have a blast.
