about

believe me lonely is the journal entry to the person behind the mask we talk to at night. the one we named during fights ‘tween breakdowns and build ups. the voice that calls out from within the shadow. in its creation, it is the love letter to the broken pieces reassembled with gold and careful word, hidden under song and and resonance.

lyrics

[Chorus]

Flat on back,
Can't focus
I can't sleep tonight
Holdin' it back
Cant notice
I just live the lie
When ya gonna make me see
When ya gonna make believe me lonely
When ya gonna make me see
When ya gonna make believe me lonely

[Verse]

triple complicated cause the signs
And the white wine
Hold me back quick from the vine
For a swing on a line
Take it to the head one time
For the old grind got problems on my mind
Shadows range from deranged to possessed
Never less than than the most
Off base with the folks cant stress
If you really knew would you think of me less
Hold it close the chest
with my black skin
All up in my mess
is you napkin
Looking for some fam
is you half kin
Missing meditation and the trappin'
But self preservation ‘til i jump off
either track or this life
On the black or the white
this the edge of the knife
we dun dreamed about
Hold it real high
if you know what i'm talkin' bout

[Chorus]

Flat on back,
Can't focus
I can't sleep tonight
Holdin' it back
Can’t notice
I just live the lie
When ya gonna make me see
When ya gonna make believe me lonely
When ya gonna make me see
When ya gonna make believe me lonely

[Verse]

It's the edge of my mind where the cracks begin
I hold it in
With common sense and sprite and gin
We hit the bend
It never ends
I toss my friends
The help i need
And gain lost clarity
the wounds within
Hid it well
Like can’t you tell
You tap the well yo
You running out of space to sell
Close the shell
I never let you see my hell
or see me fail
Guess my place in this life got me askin'
Wonder who the soul you be maskin'
I can hear it call my name when im nappin’
Missing medication and the stackin’
But self preservation ‘til i jump off
either track or this life
On the black or the white
this the edge of the knife
we dun dreamed about
Hold it real high
if you know what i'm talkin' bout

[Chorus]

Flat on back,
Can't focus
I can't sleep tonight
Holdin' it back
Can’t notice
I just live the lie
When ya gonna make me see
When ya gonna make believe me lonely
When ya gonna make me see
When ya gonna make believe me lonely

about

Lando Chill Los Angeles, California

Chicago native Lando Chill is a hip-hop musician untethered to a single genre, encompassing elements of funk, folk, reggae, and spoken word. First listens conjure visions of Outkast & the Roots; introspective lyrics that reflect on self sabotage, battling the ego, and the existential quest to find one’s purpose, painted across ethereal canvases made from synths, syncopated drums, and soul grooves. ... more
