prod. by @imanomari from "Where Have You Been" album.

The Truth

down.

SPONTANEOUS

"Echo in the Dark"

[Verse 1]
I gave you all my midnight thoughts
Left my heart in every note
You smiled like it meant something
But I was the only one falling

Watched you dance with someone new
Like I’m a ghost just passing through
You see the world, I see just you
Guess that’s the difference in the view

[Pre-Chorus]
And I pretend I’m fine
But I rewind every sign
You never noticed me
But I memorized your eyes

[Chorus]
I’m just an echo in the dark
Calling your name, you don’t hear my heart
You're the fire, I’m the spark
Burning alone from the very start
I loved you loud, you loved me never
Still I stay, hopeless forever
Like a song with no reply
You’re the reason why I cry

[Verse 2]
Told myself to walk away
But my shadow always stays
You're the drug I can't outgrow
Even pain can feel like home

You say “we’re just friends,” I nod
But inside, I’m breaking hard
Tired of being brave and small
Tired of waiting for your fall

[Pre-Chorus]
And I pretend I’m fine
But I rewind every sign
You never saw the storm
Behind my quiet smile

[Chorus]
I’m just an echo in the dark
Calling your name, you don’t hear my heart
You're the fire, I’m the spark
Burning alone from the very start
I loved you loud, you loved me never
Still I stay, hopeless forever
Like a song with no reply
You’re the reason why I cry

[Bridge]
If love was fair, you'd feel this too
But you don’t, and that’s the truth
I write our story in the rain
A one-sided love, a beautiful pain

[Final Chorus – Soft then Powerful]
I’m just an echo in the dark
Calling your name, you don’t hear my heart
You're the fire, I’m the spark
Burning alone from the very start
I loved you loud, you loved me never
Still I stay, hopeless forever
Maybe someday you’ll know why
But tonight, I say goodbye

Echo in the Dark

Expectations [Explicit]

Written and Produced by: Preston Harris

"How Do You Want It"

I hear a horror story or two
too often too soon
of a heart break in two
filled with the blues
a melancholy sonnet I knew, too well


I hear it calling out for the truth
 for anything, for a truce 
the response left a wound
harder to heal
a rigor mortis feeling consumes
I felt it from you


I say, baby don’t go away
you're alive ain’t you breathing?
there ain’t no other way
through the fire don’t you see it?
pressure building
when you come out the fire baby
a diamond, a diamond


If I could take away
every lie you believed in
clean up the disarray 
and vibe in a sequence
for your protection
could you build up the courage baby
allow me a question
listen darling
ooh how do you want it? 
how do you want it? 
how do you want it?

love
Its nobody else
its nobody else here
show you my right, show my left hand
get you right, cumming in my bed
giving you my love
burning bright, even through dark times
bonafide
even if you doubt it
Tell me How Do You Want it?


Ooh I’m a part of your essence
We can do love,
we can do better than
temporary, baby lets make a stand
Ooh I wanna
show you real, show you a real man
show you power, when we building together
How Do You Want It?


Listen Baby
How Do You Want It?
