underachievement’s all of the rage
simply reacting could cause a delay
lazy compassion, actual pain
I try to assassinate every complaint
hail to the useless leaders you hate
when bending the knee you succumb to the weight
smile like an open wound while I
take it to heart, smash it apart
you get to miss your first shot
come at the king, an onslaught
no one could kill us at nineteen
so wrong
convinced its all gone
near the abyss we got strong
you should have seen us at our peak
we got soft
all conversations
could end in persuasion
with words like a weapon
confused with aggression
fearing the silence
as cold as the violence
I used to adore like the sun
too late, no one’s afraid
you get to miss your first shot
come at the king, an onslaught
no one could kill us at nineteen
so wrong
convinced its all gone
near the abyss we got strong
you should have seen us at our peak
we got soft
you got got
all my little babes
looking so so small
they’re all locked away
from the coup d'état

suddenly not so clean
an option that we could eat
with caution we starve and receive
adopting a slice of the meat
sweet hearts clean our
teeth not, we rot
no portions forced upon my friends
absorb the circus for some bread
forgive the existential dread
bored of it I beg
pretend we’re drawing you in red
to seek redundancy instead
I kill for sport when hunger spreads
we’re coming for your head
the hunter removes his sleeve
adopting a common need
to bandage the oxen’s plea
obnoxiously pure it bleeds
underneath our
greasy fingers
sugar seems sharp
baked in replacing the charm
sweet hearts clean our
teeth not, we rot

within the oxygen
can’t smell the air that I can breathe
go call an ambulance
I’m pretty sure there’s nothing left but me
appeared without a care
it shared a secret that still stings
tore off it’s pretty head
it sings to me in spite of what I did
“I know just what you are
I knew you didn’t think I’d see
I may not look the part
the price you paid for almost everything”
I knew the consequence
lock me up and throw away the key
repeating constantly,
runs its severed mouth for only me

under the covered debris
the perfect mask for me
remove the curtain but
don’t get ready, no one should
because it feels so heavy
understood
i guess the weight we carry
barely stood
I’m never part of the team
the only broken seam
try to repair it but
what’s the purpose
there’s no substance
underneath the surface
worse with time
as you begin to worry
promise me you’re fine
stay down
weighed down
hail to the idiots
end of their prime
sensitive boys
who lack sense in their lives
sleep right beside
as the suicide watch
saves the night
stage fright
saves time
change my
face like
shapes upon the floor
fall from
great heights
fail to stay quiet
fair, cause I want more
somewhere to explore
on the surface you’re
glad that I’m not bored
slowly I’ll endure

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved

You and I Will Never Die
by KANGA

1st listen: the record bangs hard, banger after banger. If you're into bangers you should totally bang this one!
go to album
Fusing retro synthwave, swoony shoegaze, and the hooks of classic electro-pop, this is anxious, dreamy music for dancing alone.
