how can you sit so comfortable acting as if you didn't know resigned to saying it's the way it goes hope but know itll never come nodding your head to the beat of the drum not getting up but your trying to run caught between options it's an ultimatum you can fold your cards or you can play em I'm like a nightmare wrapped inside of a daydream always bout to freak out always bout to panic lil uzi vert can solve your problems with a xanax lean in the cup or is it just absinthe Always so afraid cuz I know I'm gonna like it Hallucinate All your real friends could leave you in a heartbeat I'm born to hate So don't even try to know me I can break your heart I can break you apart But I would never ever leave you in the dark If the tables hot then don't play cards You could take one step at a time You don't have to rhyme every other line Don't get ahead or fall behind I don't care if youre cross faded I don't even care if you hate me still Every night is wasted don't make a case cus that shit is outdated now always bout to freak out always bout to panic lil uzi vert can solve your problems with a xanax lean in the cup or is it just absinthe Always so afraid cuz I know I'm gonna like it Hallucinate All your real friends could leave you in a heartbeat I'm born to hate So don't even try to know me

Sweetener 02:28
no i don’t wanna stay, i dont wanna play your game dont stay the same, but i dont know if you can change please i need some fresh air, i just need some space to breathe occupying my mind, don’t know how much time ill need I just need a better way cuz I'm still here trying to replace all of my plastic secrets i hit the gas today since I'm still here tryin to replicate all of my synthetic sweetness One track mind and I'm trying to run away until the week is over and it's back to Monday No easy roads ahead of me and no free ways why buy a flower when you got the bouquet Please I always forget, I just need a second to think occupying my mind, don’t know how much time ill need I just need a better way cuz I'm still here trying to replace all of my plastic secrets I hit the gas today since I'm still here tryin to replicate all of my synthetic sweetness

Satellites 02:28
satellites in the night sky wanna see wanna see what it feels like away from all my problems when I float by running from the day I'm chasing midnight I hear the bronze bells ring Listening to all the stars sing Connecting constellations like we tie them to a string until I fall down with my pair of wax wings And when I crash I hope you find me I've prayed to God to make it back in one piece And if I die then I guess it's fine by me Remember to embrace the sorrow that's binding satellites in the night sky I wish you'd change to shooting stars cuz it just feels right I can't escape life If I spend tonight high then just come down another night Now my ears just ring Now I miss the times when you weren't afraid to sing like Now I drown in my drinks Tied to my ankles like I was meant sink

Don't elude to me right now Like it's free from meaning now Do you plan to hear it out? Will you catch me rolling down? Can't you see that I don't have the answers? If these walls could talk how you think they'd answer? I don't go that deep I compile words that's on computer screens Are you happy where you're at now? Caught up feeling exiled? I imagine you're doing well The means are taken for the ending All devoid of enemies Know that the sky will last longer than me Can't you see? I don't ask the questions I don't want to talk I don't want to mention I can't breathe, not in this dimension What you really need is another gods blessing I know restarting wouldn't help I can't debug it all myself Desperation's what I felt Just before I say farewell If I breathe, what is soon to happen? I don't want this life, I don't have the passion I don't go that deep I only run the code just like an IDE Are you happy where you're at now? Caught up feeling exiled? I imagine you're doing well The means are taken for the ending All devoid of enemies Know that the sky will last longer than me

iSpy 03:34
Cartridges on the floor from times when we forgot the score and nights where we just couldn't eat more and waking up on mornings just past noon Face it, you need money more and more and drowning sounds like such a chore you are feeling burnt out right down to your core Ever since that sight, I've been up and up all night and my mind keeps wandering where did it go down? Rabbits still can't find the rabbit hole I climbed down, down, down. (I'm a) terrified tarantula, setting up a comfortable web (I'm a) invisible four tailed fox that's hiding underground where no one hears my sounds Under ground where no one is around Data streaming to our visions Unnecessary competitions Full of tough decisions There's more things than you can buy Face it you need time more and more Saw you washed up by the shore Without movement you'll get frozen right down to your core But nevermind that talk As long as you breathe and walk I will still love who you are not matter what You just need to know No matter how this goes I love you (I'm a) terrified tarantula, setting up a comfortable web (I'm a) invisible four tailed fox that's hiding underground where no one hears my sounds (I'm a) curious carcinogen Rotting out everything inside (I'm a) petrified precursor to the final Knowing that I cannot make amends Hesitant to make it to the end

about

e·go·tism - noun - the practice of talking and thinking about oneself excessively because of an undue sense of self-importance.

Basically, this is Nayte the Hermit's king moment of self-awareness, and the eternal internal struggle of musicians, swinging between narcissism & self-loathing. Not to fuel this huge ego any more, but Nayte's songwriting and production reach a new peak in this EP on DESKPOP. You may have heard their feature on the compilation DESKPOP: Pink Version, in which Nayte contributes cute vocals to a track produced by Jellybear. Often it sounds like they duet themself when switching between well-crafted vocal filters, both hyping up and talking themself down. "EGOTISM I" is a fantastic debut EP and will be stuck in your head for ages.
