Love Like Dust 04:26
lyrics
V1: Must have hit so hard I felt dead I breathed you in and couldn't breathe again In my lungs, in my lungs A million pieces to remember The memories of my surrender I'm alive, but not okay Barely me and barely saved C: I suffered hard and suffered long Suffered every way for you I suffered then and suffer now Choking on a love like you Love like dust Love like dust Love like dust Love like dust V2: Bound by your mind, your heart, your demons By your body, soul, this feeling Love is cruel, love is cruel Kiss of death disguised as romance I sold my soul to bring you happiness Every kiss became the deal I signed so fast my fate was sealed C: I suffered hard and suffered long Suffered every way for you I suffered then and suffer now Choking on a love like you Love like dust Love like dust Love like dust Love like dust B: Oh my head is wrecked and my heart's a mess Bound to the love confessed when we still mattered Waiting for the ghosts of who we were to scatter It's you I'll always love... C: I suffered hard and suffered long Suffered every way for you I suffered then and suffer now Choking on a love like you Love like dust Love like dust Love like dust Love like dust O: Kill me now and kill me fast Suffered long don't want this to last I sold my soul to be with you Just send me to hell now I've died for you

Bad Friend 04:08
lyrics
V1: You're such a bad friend You can't seem to understand I've got my feelings too Not there when I needed you Whenever I complain you've got something else to say Forgot you play the victim cause you're never to blame You always give your opinion but not to my face Hide like a coward when you gossip cause you know that you're fake You weren't there for my struggles You weren't there for my falls Well darling, it's not always about you C: You're such a bad friend Can't seem to understand Just how to care, care How to be there, there You're such a bad friend You can't seem to understand How you neglect and reject and deflect just to get your way You're such a bad, bad, bad friend You're such a bad, bad, bad friend You're such a bad, bad, bad friend You're such a bad, bad, bad friend V2: It seems I'm always wrong and I can never be right Always the last you call Always the last you invite And your the queen of excuses What I say is useless You're just gonna see it how you want And you use me, diffuse me, just to get what you want And I'm tired of caring if I'm gonna be blunt I was there when you needed You never had to ask It's such a shame that it's always, always... C: You're such a bad friend Can't seem to understand Just how to care, care How to be there, there You're such a bad friend You can't seem to understand How you neglect and reject and deflect just to get your way You're such a bad, bad, bad friend You're such a bad, bad, bad friend You're such a bad, bad, bad friend You're such a bad, bad, bad friend B: You can say I'm sensitive I don't care cause I'm aware That my gut never lied, never lied to me I could tell that you didn't care You can tell me I'm wrong if it makes you feel right But darling we already know C: You're just a bad friend Can't seem to understand Just how to care, care How to be there, there You're such a bad friend You can't seem to understand How you neglect and reject and deflect just to get your way You're such a bad, bad, bad friend You're such a bad, bad, bad friend You're such a bad, bad, bad friend You're such a bad, bad, bad friend

about

"There are certain archetypes of pop that every serious artist, at some point, acknowledges. Among them are the break-up song, the great-night-out song, and the love song. Each essential, each universal in some way. VNIX tackles all of these in one four song EP, and more than that, does it well.

The EP, titled 500, begins with a bang. “Creep” is the hit of the collection, the song that is quickly picking up momentum which will only grow when the upcoming music video is released. Already, there is an acoustic version of the song available to be seen right here. The vocals are instantly striking, the beat addictive, and though at first it may sound like copious club songs being released these days, the drop off to a quiet piano and ardent lyrics gives the track heart. “Sweet Night Love” takes the EP down a notch. Intricate piano backs a song that is almost the domestic follow-up to the happenings in “Creep”. Following the trend further is “Love Like Dust”, which is a highlight in its lyrical emphasis as well as VNIX’s vocal prowess. At the tail end, the speed picks up again with “Bad Friend”, the angry, accusing, but relatable track that pulls you in with impressively developed hooks.

VNIX claims that “music is the act of sex”, so keep that in mind as you make your way through the highly listenable EP that is 500."
