i want you to know what's crazy
i can't even show my face to the world
to the world
and if you think you're so brave
then why don't you show your care for the world?
for the world?

yeah i throw em in the air cause i'm like that
everybody asking "why you ain't fight back?"
i'm just hiding in my room, no type backs
all these motherfuckers talking 'bout their life hacks
yeah they ask me why i never try
why i never seem to reach so high, oh well
maybe i can be myself
maybe i shouldn't be damned to hell

maybe i'm the problem
maybe i'm the one who made you change your mind
when you hide your face, are you smiling?
i've been waiting for the day where i can say the same
say the same
i cannot toy with what was set in motion
i must admit, i've been lacking on my own shit

[chorus]

wanna go and take a ride with me?
show you the ropes
show you who's really in control
so you know it ain't me

catch me if you can, i'm running
to some scene i've left uncharted
locked far away, discarded
cause i never really knew how to start it

i can't look away from the hell that i put to tape
i know you were watching

the cutting room floor is calling my name
i gotta fall into frame
take a pose, i'm more than i claim
if i'm here i'll make it cl-

(i want you to know what's crazy
i can't even show my face to the world
to the-)

can we get something a little more...
obnoxious?

dreams go to die where i stand
a flashy disappointment avalanche
i’ll be there at five
but god knows if i’ll turn up alive
i confide in the dawn’s final rays
i sit in silence as the stars cycle overhead

(you’re not gonna find it here)

dreams go to die where i stand
a flashy disappointment avalanche
i’ll be there at five
but god knows if i’ll turn up alive
i confide in the dawn’s final rays
i sit in silence as the stars cycle overhead

when you told me that you love me, did you mean it?
was i holding out so hard i heard you wrong?
can i ask you to repeat it?
i’ll never be the same without the closure
we all collapse, don’t hold it back, i need it

i woke up in a field i roamed
when i was at my lowest
i can’t explain the feeling it gave me
i travelled but wasn’t in motion
and if i ever lied to you
i didn’t do it very well
i’ll sleep off it, i know that they’re watching
wake up next day, feel so accomplished

(i don’t wanna talk, but do you wanna walk with me?)

overcast, never opened my eyes
sleep through the day, cause now’s not my time
i let go of the shit that you said
it’s captivating, this unstoppable dread

and if you watched me out there
what did i scream to the sky
that threw me into this version
of reality i swore so hard i left
sometimes we have to take the fall
sometimes we have to collapse
we stand in the face of everything
so when it strikes us down, we can take it again

and if i ever lied to you
i didn’t do it very well
i’ll sleep off it, i know that they’re watching
wake up next day, feel so accomplished

i’ll sleep off it, know you’re watching

i can’t let you run
i can’t let you run

tell me if you love me or you don’t, it’s all i need, yeah
i can’t even look at you without wanting to scream
my phone is in the river, couldn’t get you off the screen
it’s only right i fall for a night

tell me if you love me or you don’t, it’s all i need, yeah
i can’t even look at you without wanting to scream, yeah
phone is in the river, couldn’t get you off the screen
it’s only why i fall for the light

it’s only why
it’s only why
it’s only why i
it’s only why i fall for the light

it’s only why i fall for the light
i can’t go on without a clear sky
we all collapse, this time it feels right
i’m a little scared the sun’s not coming back this time

~~~~~

[003]

we collapse sometimes

lyrics:
i wanna feel like i know what i got
cause i really don’t know
i really don't know
if i scatter, it's alright
if i scatter, it's alright

i wanna feel like i know what i got
cause i really don’t know
you can try burn me for all i got
but i’ll find a way to scatter
if i go, what would you say to that?
i know you and you won’t remember my face
so if i scatter, it’s alright

yeah
throw my face in the sapphire and watch me glow
do it when i’m ready, cause i don’t know
what’s gonna happen, will it blow
up in my face and i’ll run back home

and i’m running but i can’t seem to find you
and i found out that none of my friends like you
and i really don’t know anybody around me
kept my time to myself, i’m the stranger in every room
“what have you got to share?" (yeah i would like to know)
"tell me you did something with your life”

[chorus]

yyeeaahhhh

throw my face in the sapphire and watch me glow
do it when i’m ready, cause i don’t know
what’s gonna happen, will it blow
up in my face and i’ll run back home (x2)

i can shut myself out, pretend not to exist
don’t know why they let me in, i didn’t see my name on the list
(everybody’s high on something now) you wouldn't get it, no
(sneaking in lines when i’m not around)
why don’t you open your mind a little?
you can’t own a mic and not have a little bit by your side
(“you won’t crash, you don’t even drive yet
so why not pick it up?”)

i’m ready for anything they throw my way
cause i really can’t hold in what i wanna say
if you wrote me out, then would your story change?
(if i scatter, it’s alright)

i spent all my teen years online
and i waited too long to be recognised
but i’m glad i never burned out
i’d never live with myself that way

PARASITE (stupid mode >0< !!!!!!!!!) (cole sether)

lyrics:
put it in the RAW, i'ma let it flame up
we don’t listen to your songs, it's all made up
burning through the trees, counting all this paper
i got on this wave and i’m not talkin’ vapor

i don’t wanna wake up thinkin' that i lost you
spendin' all my time thinkin' what i mighta' cost you
i wanna spend all these racks in my pocket
i got all this time, boy i think i’m gonna lock in
i been kinda sick, but i still know how to rock it
boy it's fuck Elon, you should stick to rockets
i’ma roll it up, shit's green like rocket
i got all this pain and i don’t know how to stop it
 
all this pressure it gon’ Crush me to bits!
new track, listen back, i wanna quit
one day you’ll be seeing my name on hits
2024, i’ll find a good fit
put it on the gram, i’m fuckin' stylish
new drum pack get a lotta mileage
S.C. boy, i’ma be the new sound
cole show, tell your friends to come around
i don't wanna scare you but, i’m falling apart
i don’t wanna write about you in my stupid art
one day i’ll write about getting high and having fun
but i gotta find the fun, i don’t know where to start

chorus

Crush me to bits! (cole sether)

The side quest has evolved????

lyrics:
riding round the same place, where do i go?
i don't wanna see you talkin' up on my phone
i just want my notifications clear
i just do not want you around here
i don't even like my phone, yeah it's fuck my phone
i just wanna sit around and be all alone
contact me on my Gmail, i'll be AFK
all this kush go to my head like it's JFK

i been stacking money on the regular
you been stacking nothing, you’re a failure
you’re a Disappointment to Australia
sitting on your ass, i’m creating art
i just made a song called PARASITE
maybe it was ass, maybe it’s alright
spend my money on nothing useful
send that q my way, i’ma do it all
shoutout to myself, i’m behind the keys
i’ma make a classic then get some z's
don’t think about leaving cole around your trees
you gon make Scotty boy up and leave
one day i’ll be on 7 News
and you’ll see me doin' something that i shouldn’t do
see me in the morning, singing my heart out
see me at night, handcuffed and thrown out

chorus

no Car
chapter two

last night you were in my room, i hated that
coulda told you it’s not cool, i ain't saying that
lookin through all my .flps, all my .mp3s  
now i can’t be mysterious, it’s just not me
if you see me walkin' out of tsg
i don’t want you to say shit to me
had to find my image, it was clear to me
cole is not his own entity
disappointment all i find :(
good lord i fuckin' tried
but i didn’t try hard enough for you, did i?
i’m sorry that i ruin all the vibes
not a clue what to say around you guys
another shot, switch up my state of mind
what’s in the case? wouldn’t know — i never looked inside

last night you were in my room
i'll just sit in my car
but i got no car so I'm stuck with you
i'm stuck with you
i'm stuck with you
yeah, last night in my room
i'm stuck with you

i'm stuck with you

no Car

lyrics:
if you're not about it
we can get out, we don't gotta stick around
got his head up in the mountains
think the shit he loops is crazy, heard that shit in Target
heard that shit in Kmart
tryna put me on, I don't wanna fuckin' shop
I just wanna get fucked up
just pour it up, pour it up, pour it up, pour it up

posted up in Fortitude station
an embarrassment to my whole nation
thinkin bout everyone I'm gonna let down
couple Vs on me, I don't wanna rest now
unreleased, said it sounds so amazing
never drop it, I'm too busy smoking crazy
light a j and all these people wanna kill me
back away, all I wanna do is chill, please

you'll find me in the plaza
sippin' Gong Cha, that's the shit I go to war for
I can turn a carpark to a catwalk
they don't see me, I've been leaving out the back door
you say you don't love me, I say "yeah, I get it"
I was making classics, you were scrolling Reddit
I was fucking up every chance that I was gettin'
tell me that you fw me I won't know if you meant it!!

chorus

Retail (cole sether)

prod me

lyrics:
you know what, I don’t care anymore
i’ll just walk straight out the door
take my life in a whole new direction
there’s no right way, I don’t want corrections

but i do not subscribe to this way of life
i do not subscribe to this way of life
i don’t press a bell, I don’t click like
i don’t do all those things that they like

i’ma show up to the show in Moncler
even though it’s 32 degrees out there
this fuckin life, this shit is not fair
walk in the party, everyone just wants to stop and stare

i don’t think they grasp who’s really there
he don’t know cole, he don’t really care
hand the mic, go sit down on the chairs
i’ma change your whole perspective, I swear
i’m in the valley and i look fucking fresh
i’ma hit Melbourne, see what it’s like over there
even though I got bands on me, I’ll be in economy
if I blow it all now I’ll be stuck here forever

chorus
