knew I wouldn’t be your number one
But I thought I would make the top 10
And I know that you are coming up
Always sincerely catching buzz
Saw your name up on the track list
Thought that meant I’d be seeing U less
But
I don’t fear death
Just a dull night
And mores from the Countryside
______________
33
far cry from 28
what’s found
being out this late
Close the club
Alleyway bump
Get caught up in
This cursed drug
There’s a critter
Burrows through the brain and
Narrowly escapes
Great
only gun
To hunt it is
a gun he tastes
Blow it away
_______________
That right there is My best friend
Her name is War’s Gentle Consequence
And she’s carrying the scent
Of whatever beast I’m told I am
Big Sad If it’s on the run
Beast is hornless but still with horn bumps
Big Sad keep it on the run
Hitting the trigger of every gun
You’re the drug that scares the moth
from my chest the cold wings flutter off
sounds like the call I evolved
300 millennia to fall for
How often I loved a thing
cuz you loved it and that includes me
Calling me a pet name that
I hated until you called me it
I’ve just been trying so hard
Not to let these thoughts form words

Big Sad

Big Sad if you need the man
To receive a backward hand
I will commit to the plan
I’ll take retaliation
He is only here because
He easily devours us
big fish in a tiny pond
easily devours god
I’ve got so many beliefs (hidden in)
Tombs that must never unseal (committed)
It’s not that I can’t pretend (existence)
but if he’s real, we’re not friends (no visits)
We’re barely acquaintances (can't care less)

Spoils of the Win
03:13

What has not killed you yet
It can pay the rent
I wouldn’t be caught dead
in that ambulance
Luck calls my name:
We split
Spoils of the win
And If you wither:
I
Cease to exist
___________________
you do not have to hurt yourself
To make art
That sells
But it helps
You do not have to get in
the last word
just make em feel half heard
pretend what they say is a third
As smart as they think
They just hurt
Got my ass kicked handily
Growing up with gigantic guys.
Living rooms of dads with dead eyes
Sharpied dicks on their son’s passed out friends

Another Deity
03:21

I call for another diety
But your name is what comes out of me
And I’m left begging for a pardon
From the man who sent me starving
Crawl and call out for the goddess
the hungry dogs come regardless
With the fondness of a cat hiss
Give them a hand, man
They handled it
Handing down
Sentence like Pontius
Light so old
I think it’s gone from whence it glowed
I call for another day
But your name comes out of me
Hallelu
Drunk on the cruise
like an unc
for evening news
Wondering why the light looks ancient
who’ll survive
Without money in the caymans?
My name lives on tongues of friends
briefly
then let language end
Light so old
And still we can’t
Fake or force
Resignation
Drunk at the function
split into billions
Of atoms
Take my hand
There I am again

Blue Nights

Staring at us
was he admiring
radiance
that we’d never been
told that we had
Catches me off guard
Like optimist
choose a common name
Dave bill or steve
In Blue collar shirt
Age: like 50
Baby conjured this up
In a dream
She fears the broken man
as much as me
fears the broken man
Out the window
Trying to protect what cannot be
now the parenting
Out the window
Fears the broken pane
Of the window
Just as much as me

Phantom Limb
01:58

phantom limb
a phenomenon
The cavity that held my heart
Is screaming
Informing that an organ is still there
Like the echoes
From dark cathedral
Confusing
cuz my eyes saw claws come in
And take what they thought
Belonged to them
Or maybe they knew that it didn’t
It doesn’t really matter now
Does it?
Find a man who can deceive a whole nation
most men can’t even hide a mistress
Including the man deceiving the whole nation
If ever he says good morning
go out and
see for yourself if the earth has rotated enough
To say it
Face it
The man’s a serpent
____________________
Smile a smile
That don’t come
From your heart
Do your part

I find myself zoning out, drunk at another luncheon
I don’t know who’s exploiting whom — but finding out should be something
“What’s underneath us?”
The answer he’s looking for is progress
“Do you want cars filled with Americans to roll in?”
Why were you born
With an infinite host of the unborn
begging to be bird or worm
Decent-destined denied air or dirt?
The spirit must
have cursed us
Cuz by the time
We had noticed
We weren’t feeling alright it was over
But sure enough they’re still comin on business
So is the ho
ly roman
Empire
then truly not human
I mean if they see
The damage
Will they truly
Claim historical precedence?
We ran up to the overseer like
“hey man”
What made us think we could speak to him like that?
Although he never pulled out a weapon
it was clear that he was eyeing the exits
good news regarding
The world’s worst country club: you got in
good news

Future Romans call themselves “experimental slow-wave pop,” and the name is fitting; their songs are delicate and drifting and beautiful.

The second LP from Kuedo feels like the soundtrack for future-noir, with rippling, uneasy synths and steadily-increasing tension.
