Fade 00:36
I gave my love you took my energy. And we got high like a mountain top and we got by thinking time wouldn’t stop thinking light wouldn’t fade.

Forget 03:02
Fingers in your hair I remember how it felt that day. I was too afraid to let myself be myself. Thought you would fall thought you would love me. Now that you’re gone I can’t get high enough to forget you. Felt like I knew you forever that’s probably why I let you inside. You were just easy to look at. I know that sounds shitty but there ain’t no rules in love.

Quartz 03:00
Let the rain hit my face run away with the memory the storm blew away the possibility that we could work out. Let the candles burn out. We were staring at the sky all gone off some edibles Heat Wave - “Always and Forever” hope I never hear that song again we were just the wrong fit. Maybe I’m afraid it was all a lie. I was terrified to get on your bad side. So I Light my weed up pour my drink up. Put my quartz in the window moon energy let me Go. Ran into the lake with no clothes on we were living young should have known when we dove in we would all drown. Let the candles burn out. Left you at the bus, side hug just to keep your guard up it was written in your eyes I would never see you again we were just the wrong fit. Maybe I’m afraid it was all a lie. I was terrified to get on your bad side. So I Light my weed up pour my drink up. Put my quartz in the window moon energy let me Go.

Crypt Keeper 03:06
When you wrote me back put a gun to my heart wasn’t ready for that. You should have pulled the trigger, in fact because you made an enemy. How am I supposed to relax? No matter how much I smoke I can’t get back down. You pulled me down. Got the candles lit burning sage in the room where you left your shit behind. Ain’t no looking back light another one. I’d be lying if I told you I’m glad how this ended I can’t be offended you made your decision I just have to live with it. When you gave your reason I got the feeling that you were just afraid of love. You’d rather tear me apart than give up your heart. I be smokin weed on weed on weed but I still see you. Crypt Keeper why you haunt me? You’ll be sorry moving on now you’re alone now and I’m on now getting on now let the money come down. This can’t be right I feel like I met you in another life. Wasn’t meant to be this time. Fuck destiny. When you gave your reason I got the feeling that you were just afraid of love. You’d rather tear me apart than give up your heart. I be smokin weed on weed on weed but I still see you. Crypt Keeper why you haunt me?

Gospels 01:05
Who knows you Who sees you Who loves you back Who was the first person to tell you they loved you Who do you kiss in your dreams Tell me about your first kiss Tell me your most intimate thought What are you ashamed of Have you lied to all of your lovers When did you know you would be alone How many times have you fallen out of love How many people have fallen out of love with you?

0122 03:50
I still feel your arm around me on a mountain top watching the sky bleed. Sky bleed. It felt like if we died right then we would wake up stoned and do it again. You were meant for me. I keep my words to myself I’d go crazy if you let go. I’ll be your angel in hell burn my wings to the core. You’re in my veins I feel your pulse in my skin I feel your pain. Memories in our blood way before we were born. I’ve been bathing in the light since 01/22 I’ve been running all my life running with you. I count my blessings when the sky turns I turn to you and see the tears in your eyes burn. I’m still in love with you since 01/22. I saw you falling again for the first time you were yourself. And the years keep passing by you’re still the love of my life. I’ve been bathing in the light since 01/22 I’ve been running all my life running with you. I count my blessings when the sky turns I turn to you and see the tears in your eyes burn. I’m still in love with you since 01/22 Hold me close baby don’t you know I’m afraid? Stay close to me don’t you go far away.

I wonder why you get to me when the others don’t. I wonder what you’re doing now what you’ve done this week. I wonder if you still sleep like a beast and when you finally do, you still grind your teeth? I wonder how many times today someone made you smile, a real smile and I’m like, “fuck that nigga, fuck that bitch.” Sometimes I wonder what you look like as a kid. Big-ass head running around singing Chaka joints because music meant life. It’s probably exactly the same as you look now, head just bigger go figure. You were more approachable once I don’t have to wonder about it. I wonder about contradictions why I want nothing from you but still want your number to appear like magic. Wonder if you’re still at them cigarettes, wonder why you don’t just say, “fuck it” and catch a flight, if you’re still grinding six out of seven off principle if it’s just to do what’s right… I wonder if you want me to lose the number… You know I would.

about

Black Grapefruit have continued their relentless pursuit of musical innovation from a place of newfound stability, creating infectiously memorable songs, and inviting in fresh ears to collaborate with and challenge them. The emotional landscape of Fade/Forget, though, is pure Black Grapefruit, dominated by a lyrical focus on romantic relationships and the complexities of nostalgia — the collateral damage of love, and what we are left with when we are left with ourselves. Of course, you have to know yourself to follow that advice, and after witnessing Black Grapefruit’s journey to that knowledge in All My Relations, it’s a privilege to hear their taste and technique operating at such an elite level with Fade/Forget.
