00:00Hi, how are y'all doing? Good? Good? That's great. Love that. My name is King Isis. I'm from Oakland, California. Really excited to be here. I'm going to play y'all a little acoustic set. This one's called Macho Man.
00:30I bet you think you're really grand Like you're some kind of macho man I swear I got these big old plans I swear I know just who I am But I'm too busy being sad
01:00You on this letterhead Wish I could pick myself back up again Wish I could spare myself from my demons And no, no, no, I swear I'm strong Yes, I promise you I'll prove my wrongs
01:30I'll stop right over at my ends
02:00I bet you thought I knew my own I bet you thought I had control But now I got no place to go And all I know is I don't know And in this darkness getting cold
02:30Contort, distort, cannot condone And if I love myself, I'll be less alone
02:41Maybe I'll stop feeling something Maybe I'll stop feeling something Maybe I'll stop feeling something
03:11Maybe I'll stop feeling something Maybe I'll stop feeling something
03:21Maybe I'll stop feeling something Maybe I'll stop feeling something Maybe I'll stop feeling something I still feel so stuck in nothing
03:31Thank you, that's called Macho Man
03:34How are y'all doing today? Good? Good? Ob' that, the next log is called Sisport
03:40I just released it like a month ago
03:58Don't waste your breath
04:00You're pretty mess
04:02Release your expectations
04:05You're here
04:07And yet, you're listening
04:10To have a conversation
04:13Don't know what's next
04:15To have a step
04:17The static swimming in my head
04:21Don't know what's left
04:23Won't leave this bed
04:25I wish you'd come around instead
04:28My soul feels weak
04:30It's hard to speak
04:32I'm stained in disillusion
04:36My hands are tight
04:38My skin is dry
04:40What a fucking waste of time
04:43Don't know what's next
04:45To have a step
04:47The static swimming in my head
04:51Don't know what's left
04:53Won't leave this bed
04:54I wish you'd come around instead
04:58An empty room
05:00Nothing left to do
05:02Why up do you on a canvas?
05:06It all feels blue
05:07When it blends and mutes
05:10I see right through to the present
05:13An empty room
05:15Nothing left to do
05:17Why up do you on a canvas?
05:21It all feels blue
05:22It all feels blue
05:23When it blends and mutes
05:25I see right through to the present
05:28The world is full
05:30Of drink and drool
05:32You sink in virtual cesspools
05:36I try and try
05:38Still lag behind
05:39Oh what a fucking waste of time
05:43Thank you, that's called cesspool
05:49So I wrote this song a while ago
05:51But I still really like it
05:53So I'm gonna play this one for y'all
05:54It's called sparkly
05:55Baby got me on a cloud
06:12It's just me and you right now
06:17You're all I ever dream about
06:22Maybe we'll turn this around
06:25Oh, you make me strong
06:27Girl, you make me feel okay
06:30Feel like I belong
06:32I think I am finally safe
06:36Think I found my home
06:38Watch this darkness fade away
06:41Think I see the sun
06:43I think I can heal this pain
06:46Feel you in my bones
06:48Baby, got me on a cloud
06:52It's just me and you right now
06:57You're all I ever dream about
07:02Maybe we'll turn this around
07:07My existence is resistance
07:09Why you're looking at me different
07:10All this whooping in the kitchen
07:12All this talk whenever listening
07:13You got the right to silence
07:14Live your life in violence
07:16Keep our babies crying
07:17And we keep on fighting
07:18Don't want none of your politics
07:19None of your knowledges
07:20And you look at me in the eye
07:21Like you don't know what the problem is
07:23Want to acknowledge this
07:24Give me a scholarship to succeed in your colleges
07:26This is my take all of the summer
07:28Fight back to the day I die
07:30Fight back to these tears I cut and gold
07:34This happiness I hold
07:37Baby, got me on a cloud
07:42It's just me and you right now
07:48You're all I ever dream about
07:53Maybe we'll turn this around
07:58Thank you
08:00Well, you kiss me if the world ends
08:14Be my best friend
08:17Love me in the past tense
08:20For me again
08:22I don't want to wait through everything I've watered down
08:27Don't want to make you hold my hand through every drug
08:32Still see you in my rib, you know I can't keep running from
08:38Release you, I still bleed you
08:41Hold me like another crutch
08:44I don't want to know or let it go how hard it was
08:49All I ever known and everything I've ever done
08:54What will it take for you to hold me down or help me up
08:59When a lucid dream come true
09:02I know you'll have to make it up
