fig i. If I would know you, would you know me?

Lyrics:
Were you there at the start
When the night was a part of a window
I had seen through over and over again
Every moment I’ve asked
Is this happening now
My heart has never quite sounded so loud

(Hey-a-sha-ma, Oh, My Desire!)

Hide away from this I try
Storm uncovering focused eyes
Hear your names in terms of suns
Shouting out til I was done

And it hit me all at once
Across all that came from dust
Into where every river runs
I will wait for you to go

Is this it?
Is this it?
Wait for this
Oh

(Wherever you are)

Just follow me my dear
Despite all I feared
Bright eyes stare clear
I know you’re almost here

As If You Understand What's Going On (ft. acloudyskye)

13 writers putting pen to paper, 65 musicians composing pieces inspired by their writing, and 26 visual artists tying everything together with a cover illustration. From April 23rd to May 13th, 2023, these 104 creatives came together with one goal: to tell a story. The result amounted to thirteen beautiful tracks, rich with emotion, excitement, and wonder.

Stories take on infinitely many forms. A child's drawing. A home-cooked meal. A recount of the day given by someone returning home to their spouse. They do not have to be written, nor spoken with any amount of poetry or decorative language; they simply exist. Here's to the stories we tell. Whether written, drawn, or sang, whether a fantastic fable or a solemn look into the human experience, they all carry weight. We have no greater obligation than to simply tell them in whatever way we know how. 

All proceeds from Storybook: Chapter 2 will be donated to Active Minds, an organization supporting mental health awareness and education for young adults.

[Verse 1: lillybug]
You want to be the savior of the damned
To heal the wounds deep within this broken land
Can you see past all your faults through your vengeful lens
There’s a reason that you fail over and over again

[Chorus 1: Evangeline and Oncill]
Hover in the centre of a hole
Holder of the new age sword, inner shifting form
Ever-changing
Haldur waning
Ever-changing
Heart awaiting

[Verse 2: Evangeline and Oncill]
You act like you’ve got the weight of the world on your hands
But it’s not that hard, not that hard, no
The sword you speak to and the fight on broken land
Can you attest to all that you said?
Marionette with tangled strings
Will you wrap back around into me
It’s not that hard, not that hard, no
(Angel in the centrefold)
It’s not that hard, not that hard, no
(Angel in the centrefold)

[Bridge: nshvll]
For the lie I take with me
All I’ve done was be there for you
Now it's done

[Chorus 2: lillybug, Evangeline, Oncill]
(In the centre of a hole
Of the new age sword, inner shifting form)
(Drop your hands and Take my hands and
Take your marks and Pierce the land in)
(when you find yourself back here
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting)

Slow down
you’re making it harder to know how
Do you see right through me?
You’re out of patience, I know that
I know now, now

But you’d get intimate
and you’d go through with it
what do you get from this
if it doesn’t feel like anything?
why do you drag all this shit out
when you know you’re gonna leave?
would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me?

if you really wanted me
would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me?
if you really wanted me
would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me

you could’ve had me, i swear
you had me wrapped around your finger
and you didn’t even care
this keep-away shit that you do
just doesn’t feel like you’re being fair
but what would i know?
(it was never my fault)

and you’d get intimate
and you’d go through with it
what do you get from this
if it doesn’t feel like anything?
why do you drag all this shit out
when you know you’re gonna leave?
would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me?

(if you really wanted me)
would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me?
if you really wanted me
would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me

I know you can walk me through it
But let go of my hand
It’s over and you don’t have to talk
I know how this ends

(Good enough)

would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me?
if you really wanted me
would you have faked it this much
if you really wanted me

[bh]
i'm feeling like i'm spinning right back uh
i'm sorry if i'm losing my track but
i'm escaping all these places
i am mentally trapped in my head and it's killing me
everybody knows where i'm at uh
oversharing, that's my bad
i hope that i don't fall behind the race
i'm going at my pace i'm going at my pace

there's a place that's not too far from here
it's been chewing at my gums
it's been ironing my brain out
now i'm missing half my folds
there's a better place i wanna be
on the list that's on my phone
send a letter back to you when i get home

[self discovery]
put me out
in those same old states
it's been too long
i'll spend one more day
to cut my teeth on just what's familiar to me
carve my jaw on unassuming
trials and tribulations
could be mild if i were stationary
minding the gaps like stepping stones
cause why should i have to go the extra mile

[stormkloud]
how do i fix myself and
how do i call for help
i'm scared
all familiar but i feel it
i know this has to quit
so how do i pump the brakes
yeah we could just sit and wait
right here
so i wonder if there's time for me
to stop and realize
it's not really something i can change
and i'm sick of wasting all my range
when new places get old
and old faces i told
to watch out for greatness
oh, how bold !
i think i'm better off
sticking to what i know

[self discovery]
there's a place that's not too far from here
it's been chewing at my gums
it's been ironing my brain out
now i'm missing half my folds
there's a better place i wanna be
on the list that's on my phone
send a letter back to you when i get home
but i'm scared i'll be the last one left
to share my story
i'll bite my tongue
it's for the lore
should i be wary
of whom i've shared my side
prepared to be the last one left
in purgatory
i'll hold my tongue
it's for my story
it's fair to say that
guilt has been my guide !

put me out
in those same old states
it's been too long
i'll spend one more day
to cut my teeth on just what's familiar to me
carve my jaw on unassuming
trials and tribulations
could be mild if i were stationary
minding the gaps like stepping stones
cause why should i have to go the extra mile

I’m drowning in this temporary ecstasy
I’m never quite who I intend to be
And seeing the world like you never did
Growing up but still a stupid kid

I wanna fill the empty space
Just today
This feeling never stays
Tomorrow we’ll be alone again
’Til then I’ll swallow the poison

Four years flew right by
Stuck here, I can’t decide
Wanted to feel alive
Wish that I had the time
Chasing
Changing
I’m so uncomplacent 
I just want another day

Another day to fill the space
Another chance I can’t replace
Among the crowd I’m just a face
Don’t worry, I’m ok
But if it all comes crashing down
I don’t know if I’ll come around
Another war I should’ve fought
Don’t tell me what I want

I wanna fill the empty space
Just today
This feeling never stays
Tomorrow we’ll be alone again
’Til then I’ll swallow the poison

I’ll swallow your poison
Your flesh and your bones
And I’ll stay here with you ’til it’s over
Time took my friends
And I’m nothing without them
The ink turns to black in the winter

I wanna fill the empty space
Just today
This feeling never stays
Tomorrow we’ll be alone again
’Til then I’ll swallow the poison

I wanna fill the empty space
Just today
This feeling never stays
Tomorrow we’ll be alone again
’Til then I’ll swallow the poison

TOMORROW WE'LL BE

Over the last two years, the FORM community has seen it all. We've seen faces come and go. Artists who were once inexperienced found the support and encouragement they needed. Friendships were made, memes were crafted, chaos often ensued. We're confident that All Nighter Vol. 5, our most conceptual compilation to date, is the culmination of the hard-work and creativity our community has demonstrated over the last two years. Thank you all for listening.

All Nighter is FORM's signature series of compilations, comprising tracks from across the genre spectrum composed entirely within 24 hours. All proceeds from streams and digital sales will be donated to Doctors Without Borders.
