Tell me what you like
Tell me what you like
Tell me what you like

[Verse 1]
You make my skin crawl when you’re under me
You make my palms itch when you have to leave
Can never resist when you’re calling me
Feel so sick when I stop to think
You loved her first
You wanna be my lover, worse
You’ll never be it
You’re making me ill

[Verse 2]
Our jewels take shape and then you disappear
You’re always too far, always too near
Can never resist when you’re calling me
With the same old shit, now you’re telling me
You love her first, you wanna be my lover worse
You’ll never be it
I keep holdin in

[Verse 3]
It was a dark night
You were dressed like it was the prom
She had a long flight
Then was pressed close into your arms
You took the subway
Only for the nostalgic charm
It'd been a long day
Out partying before
You met a girl
You had been seeing for a while
Played her cards well
Hid her pain with a smile
She knew you could tell
But somehow didn't give a shit
Don't want to be the bad guy
But want to play the ones your with?
That's pretty funny like an orange tan
Meanwhile sweetheart pictures on Instagram
Could never understand
The secret weekends that you've had
The sequin clutch is in her hand
Her tickets home to la la land
Plane takes off
Boy, you just made off
Satisfied with self
You grab a drink here all alone
Just like that
Who's this?
At your doorstep
The one you're dreaming of is?

[Verse 4]
Isn't what I asked for
Though I know I fear more
We're halfway in the clear or
We're all the way black
Like this place
Know you like that
All white and empty-ish now
Blank spaces
Know that's my style
Didn't think I'd have a place this big
Not to live alone in it
To be left alone with it
White bricks and white hardwood floors
Those ideas I can't afford
Your windows down to the floor
With everything that I adore
I'm standing in your bedroom door
Your feet kicking up
The things I can't ignore

[Interlude]
You know I like to watch you
When you close your eyes to sleep
I'll see you, see you
You know I’m always watching
When you close your eyes to dream
I’ll meet you, I’ll meet you
You know I need to watch you
Only cause your eye's a sleep
I'll see you, see you
You know I’m always watching
Only cause your eyes are dreaming
I’ll meet you, I’ll meet you

[Bridge: Meechy Darko]
Laa laa laa laa laa
I need to smoke me some, some
Lalalalala, la la la la
When you spilled your guts who was there to mop it up
When you spilled your guts who was there to mop it up
Who is there to mop it up
When you spilled your good to a denim, mop it up
When you spilled your good to a denim, mop it up
Who is there to mop it up

[Bridge: Erick Arc Elliot]
Trouble don’t speak when you walking on a leash
Better practice what you preach if you wanna be free
Trouble don’t speak when you walking on a leash
Better practice what you preach if you wanna be free
If you wanna be free, if you wanna be free
If you wanna be free, if you wanna be free
If you wanna be free

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.
