The night was barking
Something in the dark
I reached the door
Sensing your sorrow
Looping emotion
Forming a constellation
That I saw in your
Eyes so pure
Let me have your gravity
I could be stronger, so I'll never let you go
Let me help with your analysis
Tick tack time passes
But I pull you up here
Beneath the surface
I saw you suffer
Agitated, in complete silence
I know your pain
I know your life
No time to blame
I want you to feel alive
Feel alive
Let me have your gravity
I could be stronger, so I'll never let you go
Let me help with your analysis
Tick tack time passes
But I pull you up here
Let me have your gravity
I could be stronger, so I'll never let you go
Let me help with your analysis
Tick tack time passes
But I pull you up here

Dear,
Black Boboi
"Black Boboi's first album in five years, Sepia, is an alternative pop record that traverses trip-hop, techno, and ambient textures. The album was inspired by a fictional apocalyptic novel composed through a series of "correspondence letters" exchanged between the three members.
Upon finishing the final track, the listener is left with a profound sense of weight-much like the lingering feeling after watching a cinematic masterpiece-evoked by its free-form sonic imagery and lyrical world.
In a modern society radically transformed by technological innovation, where the traditional "givens" of ethics and morality no longer seem to apply, the expression Black Boboi releases today embraces the nostalgic (=Sepia) while simultaneously questioning how we will confront the future."
