I’m good friends with jimmy
He’s owns of this restaurant
I don’t know his kids names
But i drink what i want
I speak a bit of french, but
I have yet to go
I interned at vogue
Ten summers ago

Wait

I can’t relate to
Seemingly honest faking
I shall stand crippled
Sipping wine amongst the faces
With friend replacements
Wondering how to shake it
I think we’re all more
Horrified than we're saying

Gimme gimme clothes now
That i can’t afford
Eye lash extensions
In a no filter world
You should really get on snapchat
Connect with the kids
Let's collab
And by collab
I mean you take a picture in it

[Chorus]
You should go try and be cool
I smell the lies in you
The lies in you
'cause no allies can remove
The shame in you
So shame on you (shame)
Shame on you

You’d think they’d puff you up
Just a little bit more
So we could pick you out
When you’re amongst us all
I needed
Some kind of differentiation
To see it

You’d think i’d be upset
When you stand in my face
This cocktail hour talk
Makes me want to erase my talents
I’m jealous
Wish i could be so careless
(carefree is more of what i mean it just doesn't rhyme)

[Chorus]
You should go try and be cool
I smell the lies in you
The lies in you
'cause no allies can remove
The shame in you
So shame on you (shame)
Shame on you

[dinner scene]
Six free bottles and he didn’t even tip?
Bragging about his cars and his wrist
And he left the bathroom puking n shit!
I don’t know who’s about to clean all of this!
Oh hell no, i gotta go my boyfriends outside now..
You’re always leaving first
I didn’t wanna fucking curse
But these assholes are working my last nerve!
Did you see the bitch w the plastic tits!
She couldn’t see over them shits!
You think i pay you fucking guys to chirp?
Get back to work!
Our waitress definitely hates us...
But who cares that bitch is basic!
Like, how do you not have a gluten free
Meat free food free option?
I’ll just have some water

Kilo Kish

As if spun from ether, the synthy experimental reflections of Kilo Kish (nee Lakisha Kimberly Robinson) strikingly embody what is intangible – the overwhelmingly complex emotions we sometimes feel but cannot find the language to express. A singer-songwriter, multi-disciplinary artist and designer, Kish’s musical offerings have always been deeply intertwined with her work in other mediums. Her debut EP Homeschool (released April 2, 2012), earned praise for its disarming honesty, marking the genesis of a discography informed by Kish’s deeply self-reflective nature and innate curiosity about the boundaries of human interactions with the world. “I think people liked Homeschool because it felt really naive but also natural. That naturalness of it is almost like catching an artist in their garage band stage,” explained Kish. The EP also provides early insight into Kish’s collaborative process, featuring production and vocals from longtime friends the Internet and Pyramid Vitra – Kish had previously connected with Matt Martians ( the Internet) online, and subsequently formed relationships with the rest of the band.

 

Born in Orlando, Florida, Kish spent much of her early childhood in solitary settings, critiquing and exploring her surroundings autonomously, while at the same time fully immersing herself in creative projects and activities that challenged her world view. She entered her school’s gifted program at the age of five, and the advanced curriculum soon separated her from her peers. Still, the young Kish found that she preferred the company of adults, finding inspiration from the complexity of their realities. Despite having few friends of her age, her family were early advocates of both her independence and creative spirit.
