Chorus: Kono machine ni natte iru yo Hi-tech Hi-Tension Verse 1: Log-in for the commotion Upload every emotion Wrote a post about being ashy now Facebook's selling me lotion What's trending for breakfast? What's spending? I'm reckless. Photographs of dude's testicles - oh what a time it is to be connected. Soon you would before you knew get used to the vibe Kioku ga hazy Kau o oboetenai I don't feel a thing, Kimochi janai. I like the way nostalgia plays better on vinyl than when I'm living it live. (Hari zuru zuru kono groove wo style suru??? Doesn't make much since anymore, I forgot the original lyrics tbh.) *CHORUS* Verse 2: I feel it's hit me in the worst way possible when human interaction becomes an obstacle. I love my cell phone, you're my digital friend I speak in broken Japanese cause I don't know who's listening. Soon you do before you knew get used to the vibe Kioku ga hazy Kau o oboetenai I don't feel a thing, Kimochi janai. I like the way nostalgia plays better on vinyl than when I'm living it live. (Hari zuru zuru kono groove wo style suru??? Doesn't make much since anymore, I forgot the original lyrics tbh.) I COINCIDE WITH YOU. *CHORUS* I'm machine I'm machine shinjirarenai bokutachi no sekai tasukerarenai I'm machine don't mind me you can pass me by all I see, is my screen yappari

WHO AM I? 04:16
Let's hang in a place they say hard may be explain to Confident I am alive I am lying Searching lurking yearning to find them Surely I'm blind and I've lost my mind King of the psalms Reckon my drawl is abysmal But you needn't involve Negative thought But some people wish to Evening boss Or top of the morning I can't tell dusk from dawn Who am I Who am I Who am Iiiiiiii? I am the king of the songs!!! King of the lost on this shipwreck I can sing with the gods Swing without pause nor mistep run my hands through the stream is this a dream or waking fucking nightmare? at the tip of my wand I could write songs but why write why bother why be a writer why be a son oh, my g host, my father why do I try why do we try why do we live why do I why? who are you?! WHO AM I?! Ok let's make a list Make a list of what exists Car exist. Dogs exist. Juan Exist. Ball my fist. I'm angry, but how come. Juan did this but how done? Why doth speakith in foul tongue Should've never taken these foul drugs! NEVERMIND, NEVER THIS VISIT SEAN IN THE SPACE SHIP After all that's who I came with oh no walls they shape shift I guess I'll stay here and make lists while the pillow cases make faces give anything to escape this, this nameless I hate this speaking of nameless who am I Chris, yes but who am I? boku ha dare, oboetenai ...who am I...? I am the king of the songs!!! King of the lost on this shipwreck I can sing with the gods Swing without pause nor mistep run my hands through the stream is this a dream or waking fucking nightmare? at the tip of my wand I could write songs but why write why bother why be a writer why be a son oh, my g host, my father why do I try why do we try why do we live why do I why? who are you?! WHO AM I?!

PERKS 02:45
Woke up like a rhombus Travel from the dream realm Carrier falcon sunk his damn Talons in my arm pits It's a strange feeling switching cubicle positions Then when I'm home I shifting into alternate plains of existence Or maybe it's not Either way it's smoothie day at the 9-5 I'll take the energy boost in hopes it makes me feel alive Become an advent for this questionable business practice Bi-quarterly dollar raise my left-brain Novocain On the phones As I ascend the Corporate ladder Helpings cats off tree branches Keeping callers flattered Screens got me seeing spots Props to medical benefits At least I get a free lens a year I'm in heaven bitch I get Perks perks perks When I work work work Watch me ride round town in my company shirt I should snap on a mother fucker so they fire me However if the raps backfire they won't hire me Working in a center makes me wish I was a tire swing Money lets me help my momma relish in the finer things Momma wants a Vitamix Spend my time thinkin that maybe I could write a lick if could get the early shift Maybe I should find a lady, settle, build a family Use 2 weeks of pto to break for my sanity Hey Mag I ain't seen you in a little bit What happened the Dalliance? Why you ain't releasing shit Need some help wit PR bro Your page Is looking negligent YEAH BUT I GOT HEALTH INSURANCE NOW SO I'M IN HEAVEN BITCH I get Perks perks perks When I work work work Watch me ride round town in my company shirt Ring ring ring Thanks for calling in You have reached a real life representative Call me if you need someone To listen to you whine My Manager's unable to assist you at this time

GRAVITY 04:27
You spin me round and your hands they show it, I'm clay to you... Soon my friends will find me passed out of breath, what I say to you No, my lungs won't let me they do not rest of inhale for me a couple more ugly thoughts; I'm a Picasso painting on the sidewalk watch out, please take me for granted I'm like the moon only, in a thousand years I would stray from you but I'm trying you (I ended up saying so) hold me to (through) something I can not see it must be gravity bounce x999 (Girl's perspective) Remember when we drove out to Saint Pete? Remember that ring that you gave me? Who's this new girl you're with lately? Does she get your jokes even faintly (Mag) I'm not your safety crutch I'd say you're out of your mind but you're like this all the time Do I love her? I don't know, maybe. I know what we'll get farther than your selfishness would take me Chick, I'm upset. What you'd think I'd forget how you made me feel? I can't heel when you're at my door with these 12 inch heels and you must be real. damn. proud of yourself. Girl, you need help. Tried but you dealt that fatal blow Now you're trying to creep like they don't know niggas in the club maybe they don't know they don't care afraid it's so, you frayed this soul take me for granted I'm like the moon only, in a thousand years I would stray from you but I'm trying you (I ended up saying so) hold me to (through) something I can not see it must be gravity

Ego is vital like tie breaking free throws In the land of the eagle Somehow John Legend thinks we're ordinary people I would beg to differ but I suffer from the pride If you listen close you can see where I reside Somewhere near where wavy synths tend to vibe Somewhere i can be myself with my tribe Playin rocket league to pass time Most times I stray from the rudiments Substitute trips to brick and motors To collect my quarters boarderline adornment for my own disorder It's so convenient to have my addictions Feeds my everlasting need to live things different Used to make raps bout cartoons and spaceships Now I make raps when I feel faceless Truncate like old tapes so haters think I'm tasteless but that's how I make an audible representation of how I feel vacant but Lately, bruh, I've liftin weights and stuff Pretty liberating feel like I could go on dates and stuff Take her to the movies if the movies weren't 80 bucks Cheap stake take her to the rink for a free skate Playin Alice dee jay when we roll up Hope I don't die in Deltona Probably die of boredom first driving down Aloma With my eyes close Captain of the SS could've died on a high note Chorus It's at the tip of the tongue Caged behind my teeth and lips Can't reject your social functions Luncheons with the unctuous In high strung environments Cause I'm too scared to fall And nobody knows at all But everybody knows Everybody knows weren't made for this shit Went to Japan feelin worthless Excited on the surface Told everybody i had plans and all But I was Tryna find purpose It was a strange vacation The things I hated made me feel amazing I learned a lot but what stuck the most Don't fetishize a nation I learned a lot about how we think And how we share common dreams And how we both struggle love, and ego, and people and apologies Breaking bread with anomalies The fine line from fear to following Time after time is enlightening Fuck a sad summer, looking for the brighter spring

about

05/05/2020 Update:
3 years later, the title track of this EP becomes a Tik Tok meme and the more people have been exposed to it than ever before. What an interesting turn of events. I wonder how it'll be interpreted moving forward!

About Never:
Never is a short trip through the musings of a then 24 year old Mag.Lo as they sing and rap through sentiments about cell phone dependency, a regretful psychedelic trip, recognizing and challenging a personal romanticization of Japanese culture and relearning what it means to know a culture including ones own, and many other introspective themes. Quick quips, fun word play, intricate and groovy instrumentals can be found all throughout this 25 minute EP.

Original Description:
"I've been trying to figure out how to put another collection of songs together for the last year and have struggled extensively with trying to make time for music and work. In the end, I decided music is what I want to do full time and there's no use working away at a full time job if you're not growing your skills in what you love."
