Grift & Gum

Erase each line out of me
They are so broken down
By lame and numb
With each line that's been erased
There's a new day that will come
Along to drift from
For all I know my dreams have come
A pile now outgrown with gum
Why hold on when none still grow
In the sunshine
Will the morning meet the cold
With just the wavelength
To make all our grasses grow?
I laid down my bed of days
Raise all my better days
So now we’re old and made anew
The season we drift through
That have no way to youth
And how lazy we blaze
Through all those better day
When it seemed they’d go
On and on
From out of things that come
So far away then
From the rule and a hum
On and on
The grift within us then
With all the games we play
To crawl in someone’s bed
I laid down by better days
Reach out for better days
In the sunshine
Well hello there meet the old
It’s just a new day
Where we’re brought into our own
On we go
Fear within us that
If all we came to
Has evolved into our best
Why live out these better days
Without our better days

Oh Hailey
B Screen Lady
Your hair has loose ends
Tease the mess in
Oh Hailey
I dreamed you hit me
And that you hurt me
As we had foreseen
Could this mean at last now
That we’ve past our infatuated moment?
What drew us so close in
Could this be the moment
Where you just stand there
Oh and you ignore me
Like you don’t know me?
Leaving me haunting
The same old story
Drawn out and boring
So far
Oh Hailey
The way you strip me
And undo my sleeve
From tie pin cufflink
Into pleated fold you roll
The fabric up my arm so slow
Pleated folds you roll
The fabric up my arm
Hailey I need you now
I can’t forget you how
It came to be
Your song Heartbeats
Inside my head
Inside my bed
The Knife keeps pounding
Hailey I need you now
I can’t forget you how
It came to be
Your song Heartbeats
Inside my bed
Inside my head
The Knife keeps pounding
Hailey I need you now
I can’t forget you how
It came to be
Your song Heartbeats
Inside my bed
Inside my head
The Knife keeps pounding
Hailey
Your blue jeans baby
Ripped but stitched in
Between your legs when
Your giving me kisses
Fooling with scissors
Oh when you kiss me
Your lips just snip me
I guess the miles belong between us
They both keep us safe
And so well behaved
I guess the miles belong between us
They both keep us safe
And so well behaved
I guess the miles belong between us
They both keep us safe
And so well behaved
I guess the miles belong between us
They both keep us safe
And so well behaved

Static Noise
03:37

Well this must not be what you
Had in mind
static noise
It must just be what you
Channel by
Re-invite
The lazy
Aspiration
Set aside
A fallen expectation
From your static cloud
But you should look forward
And relate
It’s just static now
Where you should look forward
And relate
It’s just static now
Another day is wasted
Laying down your rib and thumb
Passing and complacent
You’re still spinning from
Where you should look forward
And relate
It’s just static now
Where you should look forward
And relate
It’s just static now
Where you should look forward
And relate
Is just static now

Hard From Now On
03:59
|

|
Things should be hard from now on
Since I found new love
It came to me and made one
Love washed down
Things should be hard from now on
Since I found you lord
You came to me and made me one
When I found you
It’s been so long
Since I found enough
Someone to fill my cup
To feed me love
The days grow long
Cold and alone
I waited for the day to come
But I burned for one
I was calling out
I was calling out
To someone in the blaze of cane
From a season’s cut
You took my hand and we prayed
And through the ash and sun became;
Sweetgrass, leaf, flora, maize
And defeated moth
To Long
From now on
I've found you lord
It came to me and made me one
Your arm touched down
Things should be hard from now on
Since I found you lord
I was waiting for the day to come
Till I found you
Should we go on?
Has time undone
All the work that we pour
To seed and ground?
All we are
Plans and heart
Hold us in contain
Our need and thought
It's crowded now
The sky brought drought
Clothe me in white and bath me
Lead me up
To where man and priest sing
Through the hands unite in chain
Around the altar stained
Of spleen and blood
Too long
From now on
I've found new love
It came to me and made me one
Your arm touched down
Things should be hard from now on
Since I found you lord
I waited for the day to come
Around to your hum
Too long
From now on
I've found you lord
You came to me and made me one
Your arm touched down
Things should be hard from now on
Since I found new love
It came to me and made me one
When I found you
From now on
I’ve found new love
From now on
From now on
I’ve found new love
From now on

Slow Divorce
03:03
|
|||
|
Is it truth that in our slow divorce
Nothing’s close?
It seems that I’ve been away in the war
How will I go on as before?
Returning to norm
Now I live on as a ghost
Dragging you through our slow divorce
You know I’m sad of course
Was it you who in our slow divorce
Left us holding hope to leave and recourse?
The army returning to storm
To live on in the raid they'd perform
Oh I’ve been away in the war
Holding out to return here once more

Saddest of Us
04:27
|
|||
|
It's you on the node
Of a wave that arcs and bends down to hold
Me where
I know you’re not there
I know that you could but you don’t
And if I have brought the wave
To be at all that because
To me it seemed you gained just as much
The way you'd draw and cling to me with every touch
I see you walk with that flame in us
But now you draw away like a game is all that it was
For you it was just fun
Oh but has it gotten you shaken now
Oh did you want us both
But not for me to be the one?
Or you just don’t hold
Yourself in a high enough esteem to know
That what you’re doing is mean
And once taken over me
How could I be one to move on now?
First of all
You were wrong
To play with my heart
For leading me on
To keep your mouth numb was your lie
You shouldn’t play with my heart
Like you had no idea
The guilt that now has become your child
Will bury you if all you deny
Is who you are or that your heart tried
To tear you apart
From her and your idea
First of all
You were wrong
To play with my heart
For leading me on
To keep your mouth numb was your lie
You shouldn’t play with my heart
Now you should just own
Up to the way you locked your lips on to hone
Me in
And I should've known I guess
I’m sure you love her I should know
Since now
I draw this strange disdain
From all that it was
I see that we became
The saddest of us
Since now
I draw this strange disdain
From all that it was
I see that we became
The saddest of us
First of all
You were wrong
To play with my heart
For leading me on
To keep your mouth numb was your lie
You shouldn’t play with my heart
First of all
You were wrong
To play with my heart
For leading me on
To keep your mouth numb was your lie
You shouldn’t play with my heart

Ghost That Moves in Two
03:53
|
|||
|
You should move on
Come away to be
Set free from the pattern that you roam
It may mean more than love
If it matters much
It hasn’t though so far so don’t let go
I see you now
I’ve watched you float your way through town
A haze to those around
Step away to find
The secrets in your night
A light burns with the brightness of your star
If you are
What you say you are
Then why would you
Have let it go so far
Your love
Is not enough
If you can’t back it up
With the action of what you talk
But you won’t
Just say it once
It’s not enough
And i’ll have you know
Now I’m on to you
I feel you move
When the breeze blows through your room
And I know you’re
See-through to most
Still I fear the ghost
You deny that moves there too
Cause in our time
We both found you there
Your body had this glow
Was not as warm as the one you know
The other face inside
The shadows that you hid in
Came to creep out
From the attic that you haunt
What did you want?
Was it to get caught?
Or to consume it all
And be filled out?
Just once
Or not at all?
The repeat of
A cackle of what you'd call
Your love
Just say it once
Is so screwed up

Oh come on
Now that's enough
You've got it wrong
Been so mixed up now come home
Leave the scene alone
Lay it down
What's your business here?
What have they made out of you?
While you feed on the new
The cheep is such a view
Little lady
Your eyes on the wrecking ball
You know that’s not you style
But you love it though
To lay back and take in it all
Little lady
Your eyes on the wrecking ball
You know thats not you style
But you love it though
To send her back through the wall
You look her over
Where have her clothes gone?
They've raise her up
To wave her junk
Crying broken up
And wide eyed
You take it in
That's why your worse than them
Miley Miley breakie heart
What’s the matter now?
Hear the talk amongst the jaw
And the chatter how
To very nicely record
Maybe she's crazy
Or high off of chemical
She can't sleep at night
When the moon is full
With her friends that gaggle along
Little lady
Your eyes on the wrecking ball
You know that’s not you style
But you love it though
To send her back through the wall
Little lady
Your eyes on the wrecking ball
You know that’s not you style
But you love it though
To send her back through the wall
Little lady
Your eyes on the wrecking ball
You know that’s not you style
But you love it though
To send her back through the wall

Major Player Syracuse, New York
Upset City takes Major Player into a sunnier, alt-R&B-adjacent strain of music we call “satin funk”—at once beholden to the
cool of his trip-hop roots and the glitzy sheen of nu-disco and dance-pop.
The songs explore the mutation of the American dream at the hands of the internet; the backwards impact of social media on interpersonal relationships.
