Cryptic 02:53
You so Cryptic Why you cover me in lipstick Then you go and tell your friends that I ain't shit Plaintive There a picture in my head And it wasn't you I painted Acrylic memories always end up faded Overzealous tendencies in story you've created Behind the lines of enemies That's where I'll be waiting You get off on all the wars I end up instigating You devise the strategies and I'm the one that played in You know it's full I'm paid in Walkin’ up the blvd my star is in the pavement Better not step on it Or you'll have to get evasive Boy you better run I hope you done up both yo laces I'ma blow up in an ocarina of time My eyes sewn up Till I seen the light like Coraline I don't own ya Wavin you goodbye You a square I seen the sines Super Saw Way them boy bite 2 brain cells when them boy write Melancholy Hollywood When they ain't light up the sign Knew you never understood The schedules I undertook To make sure that we'd have it good Guess you something that I overlooked You so Cryptic Why you cover me in lipstick Then you go and tell your friends that I ain't shit Plaintive There a picture in my head And it wasn't you I painted Acrylic memories always end up faded Overzealous tendencies in story you've created Behind the lines of enemies That's where I'll be waiting You get off on all the wars I end up instigating You devise the strategies and I'm the one that played in I’m the one that played in again Right into the palm of your hand Right into the palm of your hand Right into the palm of your hand You so Cryptic Why you cover me in lipstick Then you go and tell your friends that I ain't shit Plaintive There a picture in my head And it wasn't you I painted Acrylic memories always end up faded Overzealous tendencies in story you've created Behind the lines of enemies That's where I'll be waiting

Take these bands to the grave with me Tutencamen Ima take a fuckin babe with me Ya All the sudden days the same to me This about the music Ain't no fame for me Under pressure underwater Laying on floor of the ocean The way your body moves It's like poetry in motion In a state of decay You take more and more of me everyday Thats ok now I can't fuckin settle Left me damaged Jared leto Heart was sterilised with Detol It was pedal mixed with metal Wrapped around my neck And bessel The bloody chains a souvenir As you were going up the gears Your words they linger in my ears Words they linger in my ears Words they linger in my ears Words they linger in my ears Where do we go from here i wonder Burn me down all that's left is an ember War in my head and it sounds like thunder Killing me fast can you do it slower I try to stay away from you You pull me back (You pull me back) I try but it's all in vain You just love the pain You just love the pain Where do we go from here i wonder Burn me down all that's left is an ember War in my head and it sounds like thunder Killing me fast can you do it slower

about

Irish artist Aaron Everything is back with another collaborative EP with his friend and frequent producer Gothreen of Russia. After the success of their first EP together ‘Nemesis’ the two continue a great working relationship.

‘I wanted to have an overarching theme of the way of the world back in the days as you’ll see from the cover art to the underlying themes in the tracks featured in “The Old Ways EP”. I had in mind about how most societies in the past were shrouded in mystery in the past with the track titled “Cryptic” then leading into the Civil Wars or conflicts causing the breakdown of these societies on “Roanoke” flowing right into the aftermath of a civilization left in ruins with “Embers (feat. QUINSEA)”.
I started out with this idea, modernised it and fitted it to the situations that I face in my own life and fine tuned it with my melodic Hip Hop influences.’
