onionBoy_btwihateonions I'm running out of new things to say about Mild Wild's music, although that by no means is a condemnation of it. If you like laid-back low-fi with rambly lyrics that can border on meditative, you should listen to this. It's good. Favorite track: Slow Backwards.

"Slow Backwards" say it slow say it backwards these words are these words are shades of pink and they're on the diagonal art for art's sake, knowledge is power when I was a bird I sat on the power lines in the rain or the sunshine got lost in the wow and flutter of life then I closed my eyes and moved past it I got a taste for the old things now and I've fallen in love with the classics this is the analog prolog I've got protagonist syndrome wash your hands twice before you think about kissing him divide up the nights into equal temperament bottom shelf whiskey with a hint of cinnamon don't say it so fast, don't say it so fast once it's out there, you can't take it back slow down I wanna hear it like you spoke it backwards slow down I wanna hear it like you spoke it backwards these words are these words are the deepest of blues and almost as soothing everyone feels like their life is a movie I almost wish that time would stop moving uncomfortably close and you see right through me I painted a bird when I was a bird I loved to travel collected abstract sentences and put them together pinky swear that we'll spend time together indian giver you think you're so clever drink with your hands and share some with others cracked screen, bad dreams, ripped sleeve, take these pills out of your medicine cabinet the story is fiction does it make it less tragic it's not an addiction, just slow down slow down slow down slow down slow down make sure to repeat it because it's important repeat it for those who missed it repeat it, you said it to fast say it again repeat it so they know you're serious did they hear you repeat it if they don't understand repeat it because you like the way it sounds tell 'em again repeat it because you like the way it sounds tell 'em again when I was a bird I sang as loud as I could I wanted everyone to hear me when I was a bird I sang as loud as I could I wanted everyone to hear me when I was a bird I sang as loud as I could I wanted everyone to hear me when I was a bird I sang as loud as I could I wanted everyone to hear me when I was a bird I sang as loud as I could I wanted everyone to hear me when I was a bird I sang as loud as I could I wanted everyone to hear me

Old Drugs 03:06
"Old Drugs" teach me 'bout your old drugs I wanna feel some new things tired of this same buzz swimming 'round in my brain just pick me up or hold me wrap me up in cellophane and hug me 'till I cant breathe put me in your microwave until I'm warm and cavin' in felt the sun filled my skin I'm given in, oh I'm I'm letting go lost my job at the corner store on Main old drugs old drugs and I know about your old drugs opiates and novocaines I'm drowning in this new buzz it's saturated my brain set me down or drop me just throw me through your windowpane I'm staring out the front door I smell you on my pillowcase I know I'm soft and I've given in now the sun burns my skin and I've given up, oh I've I've let go built a home behind the corner store on Main old drugs new pains old drugs new pains old drugs new pains old drugs new pains
