He strode on down the sidewalk, the bullet hit his skull
The wound just kept on growing, growing
The hole grew like a cavern, the universe was all sucked in
And the man was all knowing, knowing
Evaporate your head, the world will look better when your mind is dry
Paint your worldview red, and you won't even be able to cry
Now he's sucked up the sidewalk, and everything there is
We're trapped and it's all growing, growing
I try to free myself, but it's hard to escape
Someone that is all knowing, knowing
And kids as bored as me, whose world feels better when it's not all there
Are drunk and floating free, they slip inside themselves and pretend they don't care
Now I fall off the sidewalk, the pavement meets my skull
And everything is flowing, flowing
I'm sure he's trying hard, but he's not helping
Even though he's all knowing, knowing
And they're as bored as me, and so they've built a world where oceans meet the land
Floating high and free, they slip inside themselves and then beneath the sand
Whole galaxies to see, stretched out across my window
My whole Earth is me, I'm the only brain that I'll ever know
The Chicago wunderkind's debut album is half lo-fi hip-hop pianos and breakneck drumming, half polished pop songs full of orchestral arrangements and whimsical but melancholic melodies. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 23, 2020
