act like you're here

ghosts can glow

right with the world

a demo that i fell in love with.


Lyrics:
Life is a drag without the drugs
Don't like the high, just need a buzz
Natural haze just ain't enough
Without assistance in my system

And my wherewithal dissolves in heat,
runs with my rage, outlines my pain,
hides me away.

I need some options
don't make it stop yet
the paradox is my friend
wanna skip over nonsense
normal is toxic
need some new context

Pretending to know all the movements
But I really don't know what I'm doing

They say the ground is proper zone
I had to come down, I left my home
If I can't do life elsewhere,
how come nobody told me before?
Now I'm caving in from my core

No cares at all
What's wrong with me?
It seems the same that haunts my brain
undoes my shame.

I need some options
don't make it stop yet
the paradox is my friend
wanna skip over nonsense
normal is toxic
need some new context

drew

Don't worry for me,
I'm not behind.
I'm still erupting
at the perfect time.

Don't use your metrics
'Cause you won't get it.

I made this from nothing.
I'm right about something.

I'ma do more than get by.

VOLCANICAT

Would you judge me for my obsessions?
Could you love me if I ain't let ya?
Do I do nothing but upset ya
when I think only of myself, yeah?

If you can't hold it down for you,
don't expect me to do it
at the expense of my health
then turn around, call me selfish
when I can't
do it again.

SELFISH

Must be something 'bout trust
Must be something 'bout love
Must be something 'bout the
way I need,
the way you please

The sky is midnight blue
The clouds are hungry too
Deep calls unto your deep
Begging, 'please, reach into me'

ALYH ABOVE’s cover of Twice by Little Dragon. Produced by kalibtracks

2wice (Little Dragon Cover)

tuck and rolling into seasons
gathering reasons
to love this shit more

winds of winter got me thinking
i can’t keep warm without a war in my chest

turns out i’m just best when i’m rested

but it wasn’t empty second guessing


‘cause now i’m sure —

i’m holding it
holding
holding it all

i’m holding it
in my palm


(ooh)
time may be the essence of the river that i am

(ooh)
wading, changing, rearranging
filling me to brim

till i’m running over
till i’m running over
till i'm running over

till i run over
till i'm running over
running over

running
running
run

‘cause
i’m holding it
holding
holding it all

i’m holding it
in my palm


and the sunshine the kind of blinding
that reminds you that you’re alive

and the sunshine the kind of blinding that reminds you that you’re alive

reminds you that you’re alive
reminds you that you're alive
reminds you that you're alive


and the sunshine the kind of blinding that reminds you that you’re alive

reminds you that you’re alive
reminds you that you're alive
reminds you that you're alive

I Am Very Very Lonely (Chance The Rapper Cover)

Red Carpet (RAW)

Since I've soared
Something ain't right

I gave my light
I gave my life
Now nothing's better
I'm thinking something ain't right
It pulled me in
Made me feel like
A God again
But you worshiped me 'til my knees caved in
I paid your rent
But you insisted on
Just being friends
We too far now
To go back again
The way we drove
It's closed again
Detour again
New heart furnishings

I'll never be ready for you
I'll never be ready for you

M I  D  -  A  I  R  (RAW)(PND COVER)

Didn't know you was gon' party
Slip into another body with me
Reckless travel "namaste" up out here
Shook by what I saw last night in my dreams

I need your heart
That's why I need your heart
I need your heart
Your soul, I need your heart

It's a different type of party
The room is all filled up with naughty energy
Not the kind that makes me want your body
The kind make you come out your body
Help you see

I need your heart
That's why I need your heart
I need your heart
Your soul, I need your heart

The stars steal the Sól at night
F*ck everything else Nubi, let's take flight

The stars steal the Sól at night
F*ck everything else Nubi, let's take flight

The spiral of time it don't end
It burns complete and then we do it all again

Open your heart, baby
Take it apart
Cuz you are a light being

Break it in pieces

NU (THE PROPHET'S SONG)(prod. by ETHNIKIDS)

Cat Rider (Little Dragon Cover)

ALYH ABOVE's latest release is a warm, raw cut produced by ETHNIKIDS that boasts sparkling guitars and a wholesome dose of groove. She creates the perfect map of her mind, chaos and all, with each unfolding lyric.

- - -
Constantly subtle but cognizant
Nudging me forward more off that cliff
Behind the motive that drives me insane
Wrecking my BRAIN.

I'm cashing in on coincidences
Note how I feel 'bout our differences
I just need time to sort this sh*t out

Colors & clouds,
Cotton candy pink hue.
Pastel like lavender,
Rose petals too.

Sacred auctioning of all my parts
Shaking silence to lay down my heart

Hard to wait
I see it all in my mind

Count the days
'Till it's real in my life

BRAIN (Solo-Lude) (prod. by ETHNIKIDS)

I never know where I'm supposed to go,
so I just stay right here
hoping that you don't care,
and maybe it'll be for the best.
so, just f*ck fear.

I let skeptic sleep in my bed
and let cynic wreak havoc 
on my poor pretty head.

I sit back,
don't live.
Pourin' up again and again
until I lose all cognition.

alignment, late-night.
hold it 'til it feels right (x2)
hold it 'til it feels right?
I'ma be here all night

'Cause I never know if my sixth sense kicks in
whenever you call me 'friend',
I'm spilling all my emotions.
I'm a hopeless sap again.

Alignment late night
You've gotta hold it 'til it feels right
Hold it 'til it feels right
Well, I'ma be here all night.

Second guessing is my vice.
It keeps me late at night.
I wake up, middle of the night
and my chakras, I aline.
When I can't go back to sleep,
that's when I realize
I've made myself anxious
I've "dreamed up" this panic.

Second guessing is my vice
keeps me up at night.
But swear, it can do no wrong
until there's much harm done.
But I can't go back to sleep --
that's when I realize 
I've made myself anxious
I've "dreamed up" this mirage.
