Bad Machine 02:59
Invest with confidence In that we can convince All these admirers Losers lost in the fray And when there’s nothing left For us to divest Where there’s a dollar Put more steps in the way Wait a minute here  There something that’s wrong Can’t put a finger on  What can it be Can it be? Our trend is turning down It’s almost off the ground We’re here nor there And nothings falling our way You want it now Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is you want Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is you want We get this feeling like There’s something else more Caught up enamored  With this bad machine Bad machine Tall shadows looming down So far now off the ground We're all estranged It’s just embarrassing You want it now Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is you want Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is you want Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is you want Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is you want Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is you want Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is You want it now Whatever it is you want

And so on it goes Back for more With all that shows Blind once we see this light Its shine With all the lure of news I am just so confused How we got these blues Oh oh We can’t seem to let go of it All this time consuming let it go Oh oh oh When all that’s there to show for it All this time consuming let it go And don’t cast this spell on me Lie or intrigue With eye ensnaring seed Bewitch by dream or glow And rain doubt Down from these looming clouds Cause I feel like there’s enough With how hard it is to look With every last impression Too much to digest more Oh oh We can’t seem to let go of it All this time consuming let it go Oh oh oh When all that’s there to show for it All this time consuming let it go Oh if I can let it go My heart as though All feelings gone away I’m so tired I’ve been misused Let me be here with you Till I let go Oh oh We can’t seem to let go of it Always time consuming let it go Oh oh oh When all that’s there to show for it All this time consuming let it go

Do we gaze into heaven In hope that the angels come? Brushing off that new denim suit For the girls who call Loves a bust A fairytale fate for us A nice demise That may be in disguise Intent to harm and blind And to disarm us all I know it true This dream of you Thoughts I've been through Of me and you I know it’s true What can I do? When I notice you I know it’s true Are we so far away now I can't feel the waves you send? All I can think of is how They push up on me then Had I have known To get my shit straight Hesitation would leave me alone We've been missing the message And waiting for chips to fall All the nerves and the guesses Are they there to hurt us more? It’s not enough This hysteria has prayed on us All surprise Inflated hope and highs That'll hide out in our minds I know it true this dream of you thoughts I've been through of me and you I know it’s true What can I do? When I notice you I know it’s true I know it true this dream of you thoughts I've been through of me and you I know it’s true What can I do? When I notice you I know it’s true Are we so far away now I can't feel the waves you send? All I can think of is how They pushed up on me then Are we so far away now I can't feel the waves you send? All I can think of is how They pushed up on me then

The Way 03:38
I’d like to re-live In memories of places so vast What we used to be Somewhere open and wild kids Now we’re due to repeat The same moment and wait For something different to happen When wild wild places of wonder wait With wild wild sugars there Decency You and me We can play it cool On and on we go We’ve got to get along Find a way to get along We’ve got to Oh we’ve got to find a way that we can make due With getting along On and on we go We’ve got to get along Find a way to get along We’ve got to Oh we’ve got to find a way that we can make due With getting along Daydreams and peppermint candies Real life has taken us back We can all live in our fantasies But all our divisions are there We’re all doomed to repeat the same Losing the sweeter thing Only to have less Peace to you Speak through me We can be new On and on we go We’ve got to get along Find a way to get along We’ve got to Oh we’ve got to find a way That we can make due With getting along On and on we go We’ve got to get along Find a way to get along We’ve got to Oh we’ve got to find a way That we can make due With getting along On and on we go We’ve got to get along Find a way to get along We’ve got to Oh we’ve got to find a way That we can make due With getting along

Everybody’s talking loud Counting up their eggs before they hatch out And we’re never caught in awkward silence We make up new rules as we go along What’s the fraise we always say? Drop the damn thing We’re making up words We’re making it work Always say it And always play it Poppin' champagne Before we get off the floor What’s the fraise we always say? Drop the damn thing We’re making up words We’re making it work Always say it And always play it Poppin' champagne Before we get off the floor Drop the damn thing Drop the damn thing Drop the damn thing Drop the damn thing

By Design 04:11
Crafted by design Stargaze and wait To rearrange No hesitation While it flows Bring bring no Question why it falls In place here It's by design In place to mark its meaning Open of third eye A voice inside that’s singing What passes by May be meant to leave you Or may be that new seed you have to sow I've got a feeling That has just come over me And won't believe I can't help feeling That there's just more underneath Just under me So now I'm filling in gaps Doing my damn best with it Laying the map down Immersed in the minute That’s all right Move on now What to say? Layers of that New new that I’m spinning Fading the back out And loop the beginning Now if I can stay out of my way Oh why why why Has it come and gone? Or can I just assume that you're the only one? When I’ve Crafted my design Stargaze and wait To rearrange No hesitation While it flows Bring bring no Question why it falls In place here Stargaze and wait

Game Time 02:40
Game time Stay live Feels alright Bayside Statewide Feels alright Daylight Way high Feels alright I guess there's something about June Now I've been here before All winter's storm I've weathered through June Laying out my freshest clothes Wearing down that V-neck T blue jeans and white shoes Gonna raise my summer crew up And out from the dead of cold they all came through To show off their best moves In time for Game time Stay live Feels alright Bayside Statewide Feels alright Daylight Way high Feels alright I guess there's something about June I guess there's something about June I guess there's something about June I guess there's something about June I guess there's something about June Yeah yeah And we’re down to party Dancer go ahead now wave your sassy flag You’ve got the spirit Building that could bring us new romance You are the champagne dreamer Who brings the summer fever Game time Stay live Feels alright Bayside Statewide Feels alright Daylight Way high Feels alright Well I guess there’s something to it I guess there’s something to it I guess there’s something about June I guess there’s something about June Well I guess there’s something about June

Honest to god I had to fall from heaven  Just to hail your attention down Here and now When I’ve waited for you To call home I heard you’d gone To graze the corn And round the earth Then fallen off And now there’s not enough You let me fall the last time I won't be sad I seem to realize I'm moving on That we've been moving so fast Trying to make up time For things have gone past You let me fall the last time I won't be sad I seem to realize I'm moving on That we've been moving so fast Trying to make up time For what has gone past And it feels as though We’ve been moving in slow motion From houses to cars Surviving on a blue ocean I’ve been waiting for this moment Just to lead me back from the fog I hoped some day we’d resume Despite the distance we grew Between the dream and the true Between both me and you The last time I won't be sad I seem to realize I'm moving on That we've been moving so fast Trying to make up time For things have gone past I’ve given up on our moment I’ve given up on it now And waved good bye bye bye instead I’ve given up on our moment I’ve given up on it now You know you let me fall The last time I won’t be sad I've realized I'm moving on That we've been moving so fast Trying to make up time But it’s gone You’ve got to own it up What you did to me I don’t need to hear you say it Oh I’m tired of playin’ You’ve got to own it up What you did to me  I don’t need to hear you say it Oh I’m tired of playin’ yeah

I’ve been waiting for Some kind of fortunate Situation Locked in my dreams once more And now they won’t come back I’ve been waiting for Some kind of fortunate Situation Locked in my dreams once more And now they won’t come back Until I find myself What waits forever with me? What makes me wander? And takes me offline When all my fears are gone It occurred to me One of these lights is on Under it now I’ve lost in the moment Something I fine tune When I hear where you are Listen in till I veer in too far Looking right through And won’t make peace with myself Now there’s somebody Who’s been on a shelf I’ve been waiting for Some kind of fortunate Situation Locked in my dreams once more And now they won’t come back I’ve been waiting for Some kind of fortunate situation Locked in my dreams once more And now they won’t come back Until I find myself Looking right through And won’t make peace with myself Now there’s somebody Who’s been on the shelf I’ve been waiting for Some kind of fortunate Situation Locked in my dreams once more And now they won’t come back Until I find myself

I believe that there are things to come Lay me down and let me stay here long Wherever there’s some danger forming later on Whenever there’s no way to know when they will come These looming haunted forms We can’t ignore Beyond our door In time they’ll thrive To trial us down and be Where there’s nowhere left to turn Or to retreat I believe that there are things to come Lay me down and let me stay here long Wherever there’s some danger forming later on Whenever there’s no way to know when they will come Shaken from the vine Of an ordinary world To faint to find a light From all that appears unknown To believe in when unshown If we’re to meet our maker Let her lay me down I believe that there are things to come Lay me down and let me stay here long Wherever there’s some danger forming later on Whenever there’s no way to know when they will come I believe that there are things to come Lay me down and let me stay here long Wherever there’s some danger forming later on Whenever there’s no way to know when they will come

about

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.
