Help me out I’ve got nothing to give but I Don’t want to hold it all against you now Help me out I am filled up with the motion You’re the only explanation I can find Have you been to see them? Why don’t you come with me and we can get our eyes on What they say is magic It’s a melody that I can’t stop repeating In my head I’ve got stuck in my head I just need to feel the hi hat and the ride tonight In the bass I’m looking upon creation You’re the only explanation I can find I don’t wish to be number one Anymore. I wish to be water. Now I'm burnt by every day I don't do it. It reduces me. Help me out I’ve got nothing to give you but I Don’t want to hold it all against you now

and when you bite in what will it taste like? i can picture the nectar dripping down your chin what’s the sun feel like in Spain? we’re in a cafe, it’s afternoon i smell fish and lemon. we can sit in the shade! Suppose our hearts are unblossomed flowers and when they bloom what color do you think we’ll see? la de da! la de da! How might it perfume the air? I can't wait to kiss you there will we recognize it? la de da! la de da! every night when i sleep i pray it comes to me in dreams an image or a vision something i can keep!

It’s getting late Wish that I could stay with you But I should probably make some dough today Wide eyes are how you Put me in this good, good place And they better not break you Adoration, from the moment I clock in I’m on vacation, occupy my brain And be patient, it’s just labor wages that you make, Soon they’ll automate. Adoration, from the moment I clock in I’m on vacation, occupy my brain Be patient, you should much more than what you make. Soon they’ll automate Adoration, if the work all goes away and we’re still Paying for the leisure of the vain Be patient, hope the guillotines have not been rent Help me sharpen blades

i thought of you at the bitcoin exchange— when we split a cab cross town to the AMNH (sweet, sweet, sweeter than Sweet, sweet, sweeter than) watching the mammals watching us watch them claws held to a wound so big it won’t fit on any screen (sweet, sweet, sweeter than Sweet, sweet, sweeter than) i was feeling sweet that day the biological flavor of all the important words You blushed singing them later while watching a bird eat an obedient wing (sweet, sweet, sweeter than Sweet, sweet, sweeter than) i was feeling sweet that day i was tasting sweet that day

There goes my search for meaning I saw you repost my memes Hold out your hand, make me feel real This simulation’s overtaking me My eyes are red, I need to be seen Send me some dopamine Hold out your hand, make me feel real This simulation is ending Finally, every word I say will be heard Give up I’ve given up No, man, won’t give up I want it I want to buy it Take a picture so it happened I want to see you use it It’s the only proof of my existence Capitulation to my instincts They want your phone They want your full attention and I want theirs

Jamie, you’re working so hard. You’ve become so strong! Lifting the weight above you, you hold it in your arms. You fill your clothes so tightly you grit your teeth down! Your every limb is aching. What can you hold now? when you were young and always furious and your mother used to run away you’d chase cars flying past your driveway and curse each choice to stay Jamie you’re scaring me now You’ve punched holes in the wall! Jamie, what are you doing? You’re hardly there at all. and you were young and always furious and your mother used to run away you’d chase cars flying past your driveway and curse each choice to stay and you were young and always curious how the front door never flew off its frame when September painted your world so patiently and your body started to change.

I keep inviting you to things by accident I swear this app was made to make me feel bad I remember when you liked every post on a page By a band that I have since left When I try to picture your face I just hear marimbas ringing But on a break when I’m trying to eat I see a memory with you on the feed You’d say India may sub kuch milta hai We could still have you if we had been there But your ringtone does not play anymore And I can not get what I want now When I try to picture your face I just hear marimbas ringing But on a break when I’m trying to eat I see a memory with you on the feed When I try to picture your face I just hear marimbas ringing

Well, I woke up And I was freaking out. I don’t remember what the dream was about, but I woke up freaking out This big city isn’t so big at all! if you trace the train, our paths stay small. this city ain’t so big at all! little by little we’ll all disappear they’ll pull you by the toes they’ll pull you by the ears Born in the USA But we won’t die in it. (because) deep in the marrow how did our backs learn to break? Were you born With the will to cold exchange where our backs first learn to break? in the valley a horse opera is staged in a world not big enough for grace a horse opera is staged Little by little We’ll all disappear Our hair will grow grey And our bones will rest here— born in the USA, but it’s gone by many names.

D-I-S-R-U-P-T UBI for you & me! Where was I when I saw you in the driverless car You pointed, “This is where I live now, this is where I log on. You should never have a home, no one needs a home, You only need to be completely in control. I’ll have it all, and call it my own. My worth will indicate at scale.” D-I-S-R-U-P-T UBI for you & me! The simple melody you need Have you tried lucid dreams or CBD? They’ll show you what you haven’t seen, yet When big data parts the sea D-I-S-R-U-P-T UBI for you & me!

your brother died when you were ten years old you slept in his room where you never dared to go you hoped to see him and his private world to spit on him. you grew into his records and you grew into his clothes but never grew closer to the way his cruelties would unfold the nosebleeds the living room on your back how many years have you spent shaking the tree of your history? and when have those branches ever yielded their fruit onto you? so sweet.

about

Adoration Room is a record by two pen pals, Kabir Kumar (Sun Kin) and Miguel Gallego (Miserable chillers). We met over the internet and started chatting about pop music and our shared experiences as immigrants and first generation kids in America. Eventually, we began to collaborate. The music we were making reflected our conversations—anxieties induced by social media, our misgivings and fears about making art in a time where a tidal wave of history seems poised to crash down on us, and the need to hold on to faith that another future is possible.
