HOOK
I'll bring it back, Daddy. x 4
TEN BUCKS
I'll bring it back, Daddy x4

VERSE
In grade six, me and dave saw the world in VGA
saw the world in pixelated power-ups and heated rays
8 BIT shareware, never bought a freakin' game
faces to the moniter until we couldn't see the same

SAVE THIS, save up, rent a super NES
TAKE THIS eight bucks in bottles not a penny less
EIGHT it's off to school, pause the game and let it rest
Day dream through every class and still killing every test.

ACED IT. We're crunching numbers in the basement.
Flip over the Odyssey that's playing in the tape deck.
Way before the iPods, we were fighting cyclops.
Rub and squint the mind's eye until it needed eyedrops.

EYES SOAR FROM THE HIGH SCORE.
That stuff got inside of my core, I'm still digging in the sandbox. Dice in my drawer, white nikes on my floor,
a restart-sweetheart looking for a keycard.

I'm still looking for that keycard....

C'mon Arizona

Christian makes super fun, well-written pop music and he also might be the most solid dude I know. Mikey Maybe

A VIPER IN THE MIND
by Help

HELP is my friend and mentor Joe's new project. It's dark and cerebral, but somehow still pretty crunk. It's about a man going insane, questioning life. It's great. Mikey Maybe
