Curved lines, Circles on the inside
Turn around, there’s no use
Pumping all the same blood through my System
Trying to make its way out in a bruise
Colours changing by the day
Just starting with the same pale blue
Looking through the sky over the city
Obviously everything’s a Loop
It’s so, so sad
When we’re up, we’re falling back
Sinking halfway through the atmoSphere
Go down for air again
Pale spots fingers press on hands
We’ll watch filling in again
You’ll always be my best friend
You’ll always be my best friend
I’m bound to it
Around again, Around again, under my skin
Cyclical, I’m zip-tied
Pretty on the inside
I miss my new self
I miss my new self
Cynical in bliss now
Kiss me on the wrist cause
You know me too well
You know me too well

The iconic Kadhja Bonet treats us to a thumping four-song EP that blends soul and art pop and psychedelia into irresistible songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 19, 2025
A deeply haunting album with some of the best story telling in modern pop music. A wide web of interconnected character portraits, and probably the most visceral first listen of my life up to the point of my first listen. A deeply engrossing album that exceeds the hype. In the words of fishmonger era underscores "its the new wave of the future" CobraRoll
