โ'Finally, after months of playing and perfecting, our EP +30mg is complete! with the EP comes our latest single, โHatefuckโ, a buzzing ballad I wrote about some of my very lowest moments.

You make me wanna take off all of my clothes
You make me wanna show you where that thing goes
You make me wanna dive into all that snow
Never felt so sweet, never ride no skiis like this before
Never been fucked up, never lined it up like this before
Never felt so sweet, you pass the key unlock my heart
Don't know who you are, but I love you on that Escobar
Powder my nose I'm going out tonight, out tonight, out tonight
Powder my nose I'm going out tonight, out tonight, out tonight
Me and my best friend, the wild and the western
You and my best friend, we cowboys and angels
Red lights are blinking we're movie stars, movie stars
Beautiful faces, cartilage wasted away
Tell me you love me, baby quit asking my name
Washing regret and adrenaline swept down the drain
Lovely, lovely, lovely, floating away
Never felt so sweet, never ride no skiis like this before
Never been fucked up, never lined it up like this before
Never felt so sweet, you pass the key unlock my heart
Don't know who you are, but I love you on that Escobar
Powder my nose I'm going out tonight, out tonight, out tonight
Powder my nose I'm going out tonight, out tonight, out tonight
Me my best friend, the wild and the western
You and my best friend, we cowboys and angels
Red lights are blinking we're movie stars, movie stars
