lyrics

i was always envious of their murmured arguments
as someone who holds everything ‘til my body is rent
and a small trickle of feeling, spills out and down the drain
like spit, or the fourth or fifth time that i cum in a day

but u don’t want to do this anymore
don’t want to put anyone else through this anymore
so today i choose to face my flaws
‘cause i don’t want to put those i love through this anymore

i just paved the whole thing over like the tiles on that bathroom floor
‘til she eventually grew tired of trying to prise if from my desperate claws
i placed blame on my father, flaws inherited from him
said “we latch on to shared genitals, emulate virtues and sins”

but i don’t want to do this anymore
don’t want to put anyone else through this anymore
so today I choose to face my flaws
‘cause i don’t want to put those i love through this anymore

but even if that was reality it’d be no way to live
to eschew responsibility, live by blame, never forgive
‘cause i wanna be open to those i love to express my fears and doubts
connection sabotaged no more by an inability to choke a

single genuine thing out
i can’t choke a single genuine thing out

Yet more great music from Perth, Western Australia, this is a funky, languidly confident EP, shot through with elements of lounge, fun, jazz and hip-hop. Genre-hopping with ease, GBC display considerable musical skill, both in composition and execution. The songs blend together almost seamlessly, despite the shifts in mood, and if I have a gripe, it's only that I wish there was more of it! This is a breeze. Enjoy its cool. Michael Mueller
