about
Flex is designed to be a theatrical performance, a short play. Our protagonist is wealthy, successful, and famous… but at what cost? Our protagonist misses their ex (after seeing their glow-up), wears Ricks, chainsmokes, sends thought-out emails about their well-being to people they should’ve replied to sooner, and has increased their screen time by 25%.
Flex is as sincere as we can be. Sometimes the lines between real life and fiction get blurred here, but we’re nothing if not committed”.
lyrics
[LYRICS]
I went away for a while
(I come back all the time)
I can't leave this town
I’m not a pop-punk band
Now she's calling a cab
Yeah she’s calling a cab
And I couldn’t care more
I’ve been thinking for a long time
On the off chance, no problem if not
But have you heard of this one place?
I think we should go there, I’d turn my phone off for a while
And now that I’m a popstar
I’ve been smoking all the time
I’ve been wearing ricks and he said that it’s fine
So if you need a bad bitch I can try, oh I can try
But it gets harder in the morning
LAN not wired
It makes me want to -
i see you
All the time
So I CC

RE: how’ve you been
Well I’ve been fine
I saw a picture of you
Knew it went right to your head
A W to be fair, an outrageous flex
And I’ve been thinking for a long time
On the off chance, no problem If not
But have you heard of this one place?
I think we should go there, I can’t turn my phone off because-
now that I’m a popstar
I’ve been working all the time
I’ve been wearing ricks and he said that it’s fine
So if you need a bad bitch - I can try, Oh I can try
But it gets harder in the morning
LAN not wired
It makes me want to -
I see you
All the time
So I CC
subject line
RE: how’ve you been
Well I’ve been fine
I just wanna ball out with my friends
I wish my lifestyle was publicised
livestreamed lie in, forever
Livestreamed lie in forever (one, two, three)
And the car park ends at 2am
So we can’t get back home to our beds
Yeah we can’t get back home to our beds
Yeah we can’t get back home (One, two, three, four!)
I just want to ball out with my friends
I wish my lifestyle was publicised
livestreamed lie in, forever
Live streamed lie in forever
And the car park ends at 2am
So we can’t get back home to our beds
Yeah we can’t get back home to our beds
No, we can’t get back home to our beds now
