Lyrics:Sometimes I wonder,
are we just part-time lovers?Say you love me,
but why you never call my number?Call just to talk,
like you cared about us...Sometimes we end up
not talking for weeks,just for you to come back
and send me hearts
like it's nothing
to youTreat my heart like it's nothing
Well, at least you lookin good on the gram
getting hearts for
dumpingPhotos with some little quotes
I don't know, thoughWhat happened
to that soulful little girl
I used to know
so well
And just cuz I'm a man
I'm not supposed to give a fuck,
but I just can't let this go because
I care too much.
What can I say?
what
can
I
say?
ALL OF MY LIFE LOOKING FOR YOUBUT MIXING THE SIGNS
GOT ME CONFUSEDFIRST SENDING ME HEARTS
TALKING ENTHUSEDTHEN NOT REMEMBERING THE THINGS I SAY TO YOUWHY YOU START TREATING ME LIKE I'M ANOTHER DUDE?AND WHY DO YOU LIE?
WHY DON'T YOU TELL THE TRUTH?NO RESPONSIBILITY
ROCKIN MY MOODBEEN LOSIN MY MIND
STILL BETTER THAN
LOSIN YOUTALKING WITH YOU
IS ALL I EVER WANNA DOBECAUSE I LOVE YOU
DO YOU LOVE ME TOO?SO TELL ME, WHAT I GOTTA DO
TELL ME WHAT I GOTTA DO
If only it was that easy
to let someone go,tell me, where do I go?I'm all alone,
and you're back
beeping my phonetemptation is real, you know?but we've been down this rodeo before.
and I don't want to do this anymorecuz it hurts too much
but you don't seem to care as much
you just want to...when love enters my brain,
I go insanebut I'm not trying to
repeat those same mistakes...
being poetic and
writing you letters when
you can hardly respond to
text messagesbut thanks I guess
for teaching me a lesson...gotta build my self-respect
and do the best thingmeans I gotta let you go
cuz I'm lookin for a real relationship
and that's not you, so...

I love the relaxed posture of the woman embracing the man. It tells a story.I can seem to see the future heart break in the gestalt. The pleasurable gut-wrenching of a secret sin shared. The lunatic lover, the drunk poet, and the phantoms of hashish all interlaced by irrésistible french kiss continuous.The lovely leaf-buds poisonous of a poetic nausea, a rosebush, a crumbling palace, of a mélancolique, unable to cope with the crème de la fleur delicacy of her corpus and psyché en bloc.He secretly wishes to grow into her safe garden, to contain her raw power, to install her mythic beauty inside silver glass, on the walls of a museum, guarded by gate with lock.Or at last, when he passes away, he passes first, so he can become the wind of her city music, the warm sound bath and foam that covers and cleans her skin from toe to lip, with gentle, pure loyal love forevermore.A pure loyal love forevermore.
Emerson wrote in Law of Compensation (1841) that,"Crime and punishment grow out of one stem. Punishment is a fruit that unsuspected ripens within the flower of the pleasure which concealed it. "Yet, you don't remember what crime you committed. You always knew that she was the forbidden flower... though you could never articulate why. She was the nectar that left you empty, craving more.The angel of adolescence; she was always the dream. She was always the one. The illegal rose in a hairy jungle of thorns and thistles, waiting there, for you and you only. Even though the balmy smell of her bosom would fade. Even though she would end up choking you softly.
Because when all is said and done, it was worth it. Because for the rest of your life, you'll find yourself around flameless, lukewarm, boring bourgeois women. And you won't regret a fucking thing. You'll be proud. Proud of having lived. Because despite of all the suffering and torment she caused your assy youth, you are proud anything ever happened at all.
Daidō Moriyama (1970)
It's fucking sick.
Lovesick is about a poet falling in love with a sex addict.It is a sound collage and a montage of sorrow.The undressed odyssey of a broken heart... an awful confusion into art... an obscure reportage from the dungeons of an old fashioned romeo.Thank you for listening.

https://buymeacoffee.com/robinmoWant more awful music? I rapped on another Quinn jam, here: I got boo'd off the stage (I also have a bandcamp and soundcloud with more sensitive junk)Above all — listen to Quinn's records. Her stuff is pristine. Maybe start with the album Donte sann yo. It's unreal.
