Your Cut 04:03
Take what you make, or make what you take You wanted your cut I didn’t have much Gave you all I could to keep us on our feet Take what you make or make what you take You wanted your cut And you wouldn’t budge Hounding down on me And pushing down on me I gave you everything I shouldn’t have You took everything that you could have The wallet’s thin So do the math And stop placing the blame on me

He said he “can’t” So I didn’t wait for him to try Yeah, I said “bye, you can call me in another life” He said I’m cruel And I got bent up out of shape and cried and cried Oh goodbye, you can call me in another life What a shake up We won’t make up When you wake up Or ever again I said, "byeeeee" U can call me when your life is over x3

Some things don’t make no sense You can try, but you may never understand Don’t try to make sense of it Don’t try to make sense of what don’t make no sense Don’t try to make sense of it Don’t try to make sense of what don’t make no sense Don’t waste your breath Or everything you have left Trying to convince them that your experience is real Is the hill that you wanna die on? Is that what you’ve been doing all that crying for? Protect yourself And protect your peace Don’t try to make sense of it Don’t try to make sense of what don’t make no sense Don’t try to make sense of it Don’t try to make sense of what don’t make no sense

It’s a trap so don’t pay him no mind Cause he’s use to getting his way all the time And I’m so scared of losing everything… It’s a trap, but it won’t capture me Got you gazing out the window Arguing with your argument Your glued to the pillow Wondering what your week went You’re mad at the sunset Unimpressed with your accomplishments You’re glued to your phone Wondering where your week went You’re mad at the sunset Unimpressed with your accomplishments You’re glued to your phone Wondering where your week went Bad Doctors give you pills When what you really need is sleep They ask you how you feel And then prescribe you what they think Will have you back in their office after a couple weeks A follow up, another test, another bill at the front desk Bad doctors make you feel like there is nothing really wrong An hour in the waiting room Appointment’s just a minute long The test aren’t looking good, but it’s your body and not theirs They’ll send you off with no prescription Fuck it, no one cares Bad doctors build a repertoire of writing people off Say call us when you’re dead if you’re just worried bout a cough You don’t look like my daughter and you don’t look like my son If they don’t see a problem then they don’t believe there’s one Just cause they don’t see a problem doesn’t mean there isn’t one

I had a little taste of you T’was at the tip of my tongue- But I forgot Because it’s been so long long long Yeah yeah yeah Since I have played with you, played with you, played with you You know it’s been so long Since I have played with you, played with you, played with you You know it’s been so long since I have played with you… Was it all in, was it all in your head? Was it all in your head? Was it just something that you dread? Was it all in, was it all in your head? Was it all in your head? Was it just something that you dread? Trade your harness for a serpent Wear it like a medal Spend your money on your burdens Bury them with petals In the heat of any moment, you’re gonna lose wherever you gave in I hate the fantastical version of me that you’ve imagined Melt me in your pot of magic Or else I will not have it In the heat of any moment… Did you put it off again like you did last time? Another rancid day, another rancid life Was it all in was it all in your head? (Just give it the okay) Was it all in your head? (Just give it the okay) Was it just something that you dread? (It won’t go away) Did you put it off again like you did last time? Another rancid day another rancid life

Save it for another night Times like this just don’t feel right Should’ve gave them what they like Maybe in a separate/different life

(maiko saiko) Excuse me, bitch, you're in my way, bitch Excuse me, bitch Ahhhh Oh wait I was just joking Yeah Yeah You wanted this? You want it, you want it. Take what you make, or make what you take You wanted your cut I didn’t have much Is this what you wanted? You wanted this? You want it, you want it Take what you make or make what you take You wanted your cut (Egaux) Wanted your cut, yes you wanted your cut well yeah you (maiko saiko) Hear the angels cry (Egaux) Needed your cut yeah you needed your cut (maiko saiko) They've lost another wild one If to dance is crime Then end me when the time comes Take what you make or make what you take You wanted your cut (Egaux) Wanted your cut, yes you wanted your cut well yeah you (maiko saiko) If to dance is crime (Egaux) Needed your cut yeah you needed your cut (maiko saiko) Then end me when the time comes You wanted this?

about

"As Égaux's debut foray into DIY production and solo work, 'All In Your Head' is concerned with advocacy: how does one advocate for themselves in a world where your inner circle and daily interactions can be less than ideal, less than healing? Who ultimately grants the time for rest, reflection, understanding, and celebration? Across a varied and twisted landscape that tackles unease with artistry and anxiety with tenderness, the debut EP acknowledges the hurdles that exist when mentally and emotionally growing into self-acceptance, and topples them when their blooms finally show."
- James Cassar

"True to the title and the project’s sketchbook collage aesthetic, it’s a record that puts [Égaux] Sells more in touch with their musical impulses; keep the jazz scat singing, but replace the full band grooves with bedroom pop beats, and there’s nothing to stop her from swerving on a dime, flipping the vibe of a song at the speed of thought.

Take the singles, which pull Sells in wildly different directions–from twinkling chimes and effervescent synths on the pop gem 'Call Me When Ur Dead' to jagged guitars on 'Wondering//Bad Doctorzz,' a rocking critique of the healthcare industry that twists, turns, and gathers steam as Sells gets more and more righteously fired up. Each track comes with at least one beat switch of its own, and the EP culminates in a multi-part title track, a survey of her unleashed imagination and captivating voice."

"Kendra Sells appears in threes on the cover of her debut EP, All in Your Head. In fact, the BluMoon frontwoman wears many faces in the artwork, with self-portraits surrounding her photo and each sporting a different mood. Such distinctions introduce the Quiet Year release well, as the San Marcos producer jumps from soulful harmonies and retro club beats to heavy metal guitars across these seven tracks, and often within the same song. Bass snakes around the singer's husky voice in opener 'Your Cut,' but scatting quickly turns the slow psychedelia into a dance number. Power chord fuzz melds with skittering electronica on 'Wondering//Bad Doctorzz,' where an insistent two-note riff makes the case for musical maximalism. And synths buzz like bees over the waterfall guitar line of 'Call Me When Ur Dead,' a self-assured kiss-off whose light melodies hide its bite. 'He said he can't, so I didn't wait for him to try,' sings Sells, unfazed. 'You can call me in another life.' All in Your Head suggests she's lived 1,000."
