(I am a man and I do what I can)
She walked across the crosswalk
Her body laced with hate from fame she wrought
The only destiny I see is death
I count my self more than I do the rest
She helped me grow and grow and I owe her life
Perhaps I shall turn shell into a beating heart
To feel complete I need to perceive my eyes as stars
( I grew and grew and grew and grew)
Several sestinas between us bottled up in magic
with a hint, a trace of tragic in taste
We waste nothing... but lovely somethings
Trying to find a laugh in paths with relaxed backs
And satisfied tracks with our hands imprinted on the slabs of gold
Shes bold, She told me, she believes in me, she sold me...
that nothings going to hold me....from...
Taking everything we desire, I transpire and yet we fade
I don't care if deadly the days stay we're just not so afraid
To dream and scream for scenes so serene it makes her heart sing
And all the things... she placed in past hands will now turn to sand
Only to confide in the washing of the tide
No demand for past scams and get-rich-quicks
I insist, I'll persist til Lake Mary-Anne's our land;
With an iron fist I'll conquer it
Get the gist or the guess
If it's not domination then it's not my best
I'll hold your hand on my chest
Know this heart will not rest
Til my death....and before
Your tears for security will be no more
(Deadly, but not so afraid)
I'll ensure our eyes will match constellations
Just be patient.......
One day they'll be paying for the words that I'm saying
Regardless of the target audience spent with neglect
My breath will wedge barriers and break their neck
Don't forget I'll direct every episode as an ode
to the day I eat M.C.s and explode
It's my turn to boast...because...
Being timid makes me livid
My central system is some sick shit
I am twisted on this scripture
Dirty hip shit, no transistor
Madness is my own elixir
Creep on words like it's your sister
And its more than your mind can handle
I will slay you in a dark booth
Fish fillet you with a shark tooth
You're as real as a cartoon
and I'm sorry it's the harsh truth
I am ready to be known and own this
I am ready to glow so behold this
And look into my eyes then you'll see forbidden skies
My whole life turned surprise
I foretold this...I own this....
(Deadly, but not so afraid)
I'm afraid
Dustin Wong returns with another album of brain-melting electronic music that is equal parts dizzying and hallucinatory. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2018
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
A luxurious suite of daydreaming introspection full of soothing instrumental guitar from always-great label A Colourful Storm. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 29, 2024
