I don’t wanna let you lose my mind Fight to understand the reason why You spit venom like a lullaby It’s all the shit that I talk about you We been walking through this valley blind Climb that smoke above that tree line You keep saying that we’ll be alright It’s all that shit that I love about you We only know the half of it I love the struggle and the sound of it You’re bad at being good at this So why do I keep painting the pattern Boy, you’re so ugly when you’re being cruel My eyes are oceans spilling salt into your swimming pool Don’t understand why I do I carry round this open wound It’s all the shit that I love I love, I love, I love, I love We only know the half of it I love the struggle and the sound of it You’re bad at being good at this So why do I keep painting the pattern Screamer it will spit you out, it will rob you blind Screaming cuz every we talk it’s another lie I begin holding every word like a parasite It's all the shit that I talk All the shit that I talk All the shit that I We only know the half of it I love the struggle and the sound of it You’re bad at being good at this So why do I keep painting the pattern

When I first saw ya You were seated on a pretty pillow Right across from me With your smile so full Passed the blunt to ya Air was gettin thicker in between us I already knew That this girl was gold I think we got some bad, bad love Right in between us I met you at a good, good time I know you feel it too So cuddle Me closer Don’t tell me It’s over Until you’re shaking in your roots And take in all this bad, bad love That I’m giving to you On the cusp of lust Here I look for trust In the places I shouldn’t do it Let you be my muse You’re the one I choose For the moment, the time of our lives Got our bodies wrapped In your long brown braids And we’re never getting out, girl No we’re not getting out until we’re back from the moon I think we got some bad, bad love Right in between us I met you at a good, good time I know you feel it too So cuddle Me closer Don’t tell me It’s over Until you’re shaking in your roots And take in all this bad, bad love That I’m giving to you 5th Dimensional Felt the Universe, and she’s the founder Founder Pure potential They could never understand the power Power I think we got some bad, bad love Right in between us I met you at a good, good time I know you feel it too So cuddle Me closer Don’t tell me It’s over Until you’re shaking in your roots And take in all this bad, bad love That I’m giving to you

I'm waiting for ya call Been sitting by the phone Ya stringing me along When we met I knew I would fall Left me breathless broke down my walls Is this love When we vibe I just can't get enough Movin forward, I give you all my love I think we're more than friends, so when can this begin This love feels so tantalizing My baby be the masa to my green chile Hillbilly blood in my veins Southern charm coming strange Ain’t no range I can’t hit my shot And ain’t no other kind of lovin' that’s gon find yo spot We keeps it rubbin' like some brake pads I runnin' thru these playbacks Like how the hell I make it in yo eyes To have you say that you love me Never call me I don’t play that But we been down like way back So now I’m typin' take backs And sippin' thru these late tracks With a box boom overhead like I was Cusack Wishin on some everlasting love Don’t you abuse that True dat When we vibe I just can't get enough Movin forward, I give you all my love I think we're more than friends, so when can this begin This love feels so tantalizing Now I'm not tryna chase You see I'm tryna keep it cool But I can't stand ya pace What's the move in taking things slow You know I ain't down for wasting my time Boy let's go Cuz you know it's love You know it's love, yeah aye yeah When we vibe I just can't get enough Movin forward, I give you all my love I think we're more than friends, so when can this begin This love feels so tantalizing Baby it's just you I need You can put your trust in me You don't have to put on a show Don't ya know That I got you, you can call me And I’ll be there Yeah Yeah I'll be there Uh Yeah

When you read into my every notion I'm letting you down in slow motion Stop looking at me like that There's too much pressure to have your back Got money issues stacks on stacks No time to call you back But you want what you can't have And it breaks my heart to watch your heart break I can see by the look on your face You want me in the worst way And it breaks my heart to watch your heart break I can see by the look on your face I made a huge fucking mistake Let me take you back in time Before I had a past to leave behind I was sweet for a bitter soul But now I play a different role You really have a heart like mine Beating from a different time, oh Wish I met you when the time was right Before I met that fucked up guy He fooled me once, it hurt He fooled me twice, I learned To push people away I'm sorry to say I don't want you baby Got money issues stacks on stacks No time to call you back But you want what you can't have And it breaks my heart to watch your heart break I can see by the look on your face You want me in the worst way And it breaks my heart to watch your heart break I can see by the look on your face I made a huge fucking mistake I loved you too good, I took it too far It tears me apart to watch you fall hard You tried to take me out the friend zone It's the end though I loved you too good, I took it too far It tears me apart to watch you fall hard You tried to take me out the friend zone It's the end though And it breaks my heart to watch your heart break I can see by the look on your face You want me in the worst way And it breaks my heart to watch your heart break I can see by the look on your face I made a huge fucking mistake And it breaks my heart to watch your heart break I can see by the look on your face You want me in the worst way And it breaks my heart to watch your heart break I can see by the look on your face I made a huge fucking mistake

Enter my foyer Ancient sequoia Mountaintop Peppermint Topographic fingerprint Sweep me off my feet Neon feathered parakeet Lookin down on the canal I can almost see myself Floating in lucidity Eyelids gimme visions Projecting an image then I fall down Fall down Into the water That’s where I drop her Open ears silent screams Can’t wake up inside this dream You can’t speak if I can’t speak He whispers to me Then I fall onto my face While I still cannot escape Stuck in false awakenings Eyelids gimme visions Projecting an image then I fall down Fall down (Down down down . . .) Dream walkin’ don’t wake me up I’m Dream walkin’ don’t wake me up. Dream walkin’ don’t wake me up I’m Dream walkin’ don’t wake me up. Don’t wake me up. Dream walkin’ don’t wake me up I’m Dream walkin’ don’t wake me up. Dream walkin’ don’t wake me up I’m Dream walkin’ don’t wake me up. Don’t wake me up.

about

We started this EP back in 2016. Countless hours were spent creating these 6 tracks. Everything was recorded in the Los Angeles neighborhoods of Echo Park and Highland Park between 2016 and 2019. Everyone included on this project is a friend. We had a specific sound in mind and we felt like chemistry was very important. We’re super proud of this EP and we hope you enjoy it. - Teddy & Ricky
