2024 🔥

For Stephen Sims, 'Better' is a personal song about coming to terms with his sexuality and the anxiety/fear of not knowing how others may react. There may be tough times ahead but things will certainly get better!

Lyrics:
All these emotions yeah they're mixed up inside
I don't know what to do and I cannot hide
It's there and its inside of me
Being honest it always comes with hurt
Being honest has always left me in the dirt
But that's wrong
I gotta feel, I gotta feel, I gotta feel my truth
I gotta live, I gotta live, I gotta live my youth
I gotta find myself

Cause it gets better
If I could tell that other person
It gets better
Now don't be hard upon yourself
Cause you're no lesser
Questioning the road ahead but you are meant to
Obstacles that you now face
Yeah, they're a lesson
It gets better
It gets better

Have you ever been on very edge falling down
There's secret that's deep inside
How will it get out
If I could take to my former self
I'd ask him why
Are you scared
These people will test but they are not friends
Being honest it always comes with it hurt
Being honest has always left me in the dirt
But thats wrong
I gotta feel, I gotta feel, I gotta feel my truth
I gotta live, I gotta live, I gotta live my youth
I gotta find myself

Cause it gets better
If I could tell that other person
It gets better
Now don't be hard upon yourself
Cause you're no lesser
Questioning the road ahead but you are meant to
Obstacles that you now face
Yeah, they're a lesson
It gets better
It gets better

Lyrics:

Here comes the rain to wash away the pain
All the torment each and every day
Here comes the rain cascading over me
It is cleansing my dishonesty

Two years I have wasted
Now I feel like a fraud
I’m guilty of acting the part
That I can’t play no more
Tell me, who decided
That I’ve gotta live this life
No, I don’t wanna hurt you
But I’m doing it by your side

Smoke and mirrors define this
Projected hologram that
I’ve turned into, don’t deny it
See the storm come

Here comes the rain to wash away the pain
All the torment each and every day
Here comes the rain cascading over me
It is cleansing my dishonesty

I don’t wanna say that I deceived you
I can’t admit my faults
Occasions when we were closer
I thought I had it all
I don’t have any pathetic answers
I wish I could give you more
I feel so numb, to my core

Smoke and mirrors define this
Projected hologram that
I’ve turned into, don’t deny it
See the storm come

Here comes the rain to wash away the pain
All the torment each and every day
Here comes the rain cascading over me
It is cleansing my dishonesty

Here comes the
Here comes the
Here comes the rain

Here comes the rain to wash away the pain
All the torment each and every day
Here comes the rain cascading over me
It is cleansing my dishonesty
Here comes the rain to wash away the pain
All the torment each and every day
Here comes the rain cascading over me
Here comes the rain

lyrics:

Mistvale:
can we sit down by the bar
I wanna play sad songs I learned on my guitar
and I cant sing good without you(without you)
So that's why I'm always with you(x2)

I don't wanna talk about it(x3)
I don't wanna talk about it at all
I don't wanna talk about it(x idk)
I don't wanna talk about it at all

Can we sit down by the bar
I wanna play sad songs I learned on my guitar
And I cant sing good without you(without you)
So that's why I'm always with you(x1)

@Kaysnoto:
Ya i Think sad things while I’m writing this song
I gotta cut my hair your calling it too long
It’s just another sad indie song
Don’t know what I’m doing wrong(x2)

DUORAMA - Beverly Vibes

A rework of my previous song 'Vagabond'

Go show him some love!

Lyrics:
This gentle summer breeze returns 
and memories come back again 
I put my cassette in my stereo 
listening to pure vaporwave 
Just mulling over this piece of art 
and drain the nature power into my heart 

This warm summer dream returns 
and with it old loves once again 
in the backseat everything’s a mess 
cuz in the curves you take off your dress 

and the echoes flood in these skies 
above our fears in disguise 
with this cabrio i wanna cross the line 
at every turn we turn back time 
at every turn we turn back time 
back time 

This strong winter freeze returns 
and the feelings turn into shame. 
A flawless view, high by the sea 
while the wind hits your tears. 
Just mulling over this piece of art 
and drain the nature power into my heart 

and the echoes flood in these skies 
above our fears in disguise. 
with this cabrio i wanna cross the line 
at every turn we turn back time 

and our echoes spread in the air 
the wind messes up our hair. 
and the echoes tonight… 
shall we turn back time? 

and the echoes flood in these skies 
above our fears in disguise. 
with this cabrio i wanna cross the line 
at every turn we turn back time

Lyrics:
On a highway to nowhere
Drifting through the night
Blurred on the horizon
Blink and its gone with the light
Leave it all behind
Leave all the tear-stained hopes I had
It's over
I'm older

Fantasies have lied
Only left me in despair
With no compromise
I stepped into a nightmare

Your hardwired to dream
Not told about the fall
At your lowest
Suddenly you don’t mean much at all

Leave it all behind
Leave all the tear-stained hopes I had
It's over
I'm older

Guess I learned too late
How am I supposed to know
When your faith turns fake
You cant invest anymore

Tell me my truth
But I don’t wanna confide
What the hell is this
Some fabricated lie

On a highway to nowhere
Drifting through the night
Blurred on the horizon
Blink and its gone with the light
Leave it all behind
Leave all the tear-stained hopes I had
It's over
I'm older

On a highway to nowhere
Drifting through the night
Blurred on the horizon
Blink and its gone with the light
Leave it all behind
Leave all the tear-stained hopes I had
It's over
I'm older
