All the woodsmen with their wood then sent to catch hm He had gone off to the village, sent to warm them of the coming, of the darkness “Darkness will come” But the children with their smiling, wipe his face off, pull his pants up He who has tasted all of sweetness, search for kindness, search for freedom “Freedom will come” Seek into mind’s eye and you will find (Speak your mind and you’ll find your way) Come on to the mountain, come let’s take a swim Come on to the mountain, come let’s take a swim Come on to the mountain, come let’s take a swim (The winter is coming and I should be getting home) Come on to the mountain, come let’s take a swim (My stomach no agree and I’m anxious) Come on to the mountain, come let’s take a swim Come on to the mountain, come let’s take a swim

Standing on the corner with my wife, BIKE You see, you want, you see you want it, my wife, BIKE Standing on the corner with my wife, BIKE You see, you want You see, you want it, my wife Cannot feel my legs, must’ve lost my footing... How’d I end up upside down? Took that turn too late now I’m on my stomach...laying in a pile of my own blood Contemplating harnessing my light, BIKE You see, you want, you see, you’ve seen with your third eye sight, WIFE All in your head, you’re running around (running around and around) What can you say? Nothing to say? Good God... (seeing my face in the clouds) What’s in your head? You’re running around... (skipping right to my own beat) What can you say? Nothing to say? See you want, see you want it

Half of the way to mama Time has no purpose Half of the way to mama Run with the ancient ones I lost my mother in the desert and now I’m all alone Have to find her...before the dark comes Please, sir, won’t you give me a hand? I lost my mother I was resting and now the sunset threatens to come Begging, begging, if you hear me.. Saying, “mama, oh, mama, but where did you go to?” Didn’t you say you’d come back to, come back to me? (My mother told me one day) Swore I heard you say you’d come back to, come back to me (I was born on Mars) Half of the way to mama Time has no purpose Half of the way to mama Run with the... Half of the way to mama Time has no purpose Half of the way to mama Run with the ancient ones (I lost my mother) Run with the ancient ones Falling cross the seas in the corners of my mind I can’t help but feel like I’m running out of time Sensations breathe, stop (We’ll keep running around, til I fall through the space, be consumed by the sound) Can you keep up? (Molecules slowing down, shifting wave into my wonder wall) Didn’t you say you’d come back to, come back to me? (My mother told me one day) Swore I heard you say you’d come back to, come back to me (I was born on Mars) Didn’t you say you’d come back to, come back to me? Swore I heard you say you’d come back to, come back to me

about

Mommy Issues was recorded in a quarantine-fugue state at the exquisite GB’s Juke Joint in Long Island City. It is a culmination of boyish triumph and charm, belied by mesmerizing snapshots of contemplation and isolation not specific to this time. It is a collection of spectral elegies for the living, a macabre homage to Brothers Grimm folklore through an Afromasochistic lens.
