xiblistens Leyla Daze is a wh0le planet, nay, dimension, unto themselves. And tho it is molecularly made up of unspeakable qualia of neuro-queerness, it is delivered so deftly and pure, that the essence evokes unmistakable recognition. From other-worldy rhythms, to the visceral soundscapes, and of course the vividness and vulnerability of voice; This is a in inter-dimensional trip to drip your every drop into and shift your perspective. Favorite track: The Unspeakable World.

Ted Quinn Her Given Mortal Mission is divine. The Unspeakable is Spoken Here! "Daddy greets the peaceful protest with a f****g baseball bat...the cops murder children while they serve and protect..." Leyla Daze gives me hope in this nightmarish age because she hears what's going on in our Dystopian reality and reports it back with humor, wild sounds and an electronic heartbeat. Music of our time because we deserve music now, as much as we ever did. Support people who make music that says something. Favorite track: Once Upon a Time.

Let's all talk about the unspeakable world The wet ones the wild ones the strange ones the defiled ones the unfreakable girls Let's all hold in our vision the unspeakable world The ether the creatures the unstringable pearls The twisted broke spout of the world that they left Which is ravaged and savaged It's take what you get When the man comes a'knocking will you sharpen your sabre? Or bend down on cement ground And tie your lifeline to his paper I'm moaning and writhing For all of us witches Who are cat called and lowballed And spit on called bitches I'm slippin on the border Of love and despair I'm hiding in my hovel It's a nightmare out there If you still think Daddy Is structured to save you You give him permission To break you enslave you Daddy's bout money That's his law and his fact Daddy meets the peaceful protest With a fucking baseball bat. Living my mission Is causing me pain "You chose not to work for material gain" Nah I didn't choose nothing I'm fighting to breathe I'm standing down Nazis And the shit they believe The cops murder children While they serve and protect And I'm here in this body Got no choice to defect. (on the road now.)

Becky Poem 03:47
There is a place that I can go Beyond the seven skies A perfect grade from pale to peach Where mist drips plunge for miles Where hummingbirds and spirits, both Slip between the isles There is a place that I can go Beyond the seven skies And drink in deep how the air tastes then Before the humans rise And drink in deep how the air tastes then Before the humans rise Soft, horizon, straight as ruled But bendy, edges, too. Stark, horizon, giving proof that concepts do not move. Sphere, horizon, wraps us up with all the others who. Soft, horizon, giving proof But bendy, edges, too. There is a land that I can love Beyond the seven skies Where no deep rumbles wake me up And no steel towers rise They don't rise. There is a place that I can go Beyond the seven skies And drink in deep how the air tastes then Before the humans rise Still, the morning, pen in hand With coffee in my honey I know the land that I can go Was taken then, with money. With money. With money.

I'm twirlin to dog slug spit hug slippy clean fantasies Slime teen wet dream candy scream galaxies Juicy milk haven don't you wanna stay fresh Pick apart your neurons is there anything left Isolate my head and crawl inside my safety zone Laid like Brian Wilson I don't wanna be alone Lookin for a man to tell me where to go tomorrow Gimme gimme gimme all the candies for my sorrow! Gimme gimme gimme all the candies for my sorrow! Gimme gimme gimme all the candies for my sorrow! Oh I don't wanna go there. I don't wanna go anywhere with you Yes I do. I wanted to be me... Look up from look up from (My friend the fun fone) Get out of get out of A lifestyle all alone Be one with be one with Aliveness around me Get out of get out of This clean white city And get on the road and get on the road and get on the get on the get on the road now.

We were crawling through a thick dank forest In a dream And I flowed into the alleyway Through the screen We were falling through a wet wet wasteland In the dark And we came upon the door to the entrance A pink mark In the cave there's a puzzle on the door to the entrance And we need to unlock In the cave there's a bracelet its the door to the entrance And we need to unlock The riddle fence. Once upon a time In a dream Once upon a time I went into the castle In a dream Once upon a time I went into the castle In a dream And I saw A crystal bear... When we’re winding down the melted marble pathway It’s so far When we try to touch the limits of the universe There’s a jar If we’re turning an electric dream screen Into rhyme If we’re sliding through a shifted silver draftway Into time In the cave there's a puzzle on the door to the entrance And we need to unlock In the cave there’s a bracelet its the door to the entrance And we need to unlock… The riddle-fence! Old gold bracelet Dancin in the universe Old gold bracelet Prancin in the universe I'm talkin to a wig shop flat top And his old gold rent I'm talkin to a big shot scene stop And his old gold And his rent Hey are you ready For the downfall! Hey sisters can you hear me For the downfall! of everything we know and love. Beyond the night sky is a day sky and beyond the day sky is a light And beyond the light sky is a grey sky And beyond the grey sky we're alright. She's the only way Into the castle. She's the only way Into the castle. She's the only way Into the castle... Me alone.
