Tall Ice Lung - Tandang Sora Aoi

"See you next summer!"

This isn't the way I remember
our last few semesters.
A shot to the head sounds much closer
to the ugly truth.

See you next summer.

We’re pretty shitty people and this is what we do.
I think we’re alcoholics. Do you feel that way too?

“I think I have a problem."

Dead drunk on the Harley’s porch,
wasn’t that your favorite course?
It was mine and it felt awful.
If you kissed the dirt, I just had a mouthful.

I think I have a problem.

We’re pretty shitty people and this is what we do.
I think we’re alcoholics. Do you feel that way too?

“Don’t run away.”

I’m swear I’m not a sex offender
and whatever you saw wouldn’t matter.
That’s just to say we’re best friends now.
You and the rag I just pulled out.

Don’t run away.

Tall Ice Lung - College Smokers (Dear Sam, I'm An Alcoholic)

Don’t take it so hard,
I still believe in you.
We all make our mistakes,
and you’ve seen mine too.

If you pay attention,
you’ll know what I mean.
It just takes a bit of practice
to not be what I’ve been.

I was insecure and afraid of 
ever wanting more.
You don’t deserve to be deprived
of the hopes you need to stay alive.

Don’t take it so hard,
I still believe in you.
We all make our mistakes,
and you’ve seen mine too.

Life always gets better,
but only if you want it to
and it never made much sense until
the day I had you.

I was insecure and afraid of 
ever wanting more.
You don’t deserve to be deprived
of the hopes you need to stay alive.

I was insecure and afraid of 
ever wanting more.
I don’t deserve to be deprived
of the hopes I needed to stay alive.
I hope this touches you the same way
these words once touched me.
It takes time for one to grow up
into the person they want to be. 

Tall Ice Lung - Sons And Daughters

you came by when i was looking for a place to stay
to my surprise you let me stick around all day
i know i can't keep you, you're not mine
but i like to pretend i'm worth your time

when it's late i wait for you to come around and say 
"hey, it's okay to stay" so i stop feeling down all day
i know i can't keep you, i'm not yours
but i like to pretend it's something more

69.3 penis fm brings you a new tune

one day
i'll find my way
and that day
it'll be okay

it's not easy to say
when youre easy to betray
your word

crumbling as it seems
though perfect in between
my world

sunshine
when will you come back?
tell me
what i still lack

it's not easy to say
when youre easy to betray
your word

crumbling as it seems
though perfect in between
my world
my world
my world

trial by fire
you know this isn’t gonna make things better 
without you i’m no use so do me a favor      	  
and after all of this we will still have each other

trial by fire
i am the moth that will die in the flame
we've gotten used to feeling so much pain
but after all of this i know we'll have each other

trial by fire
if we go on like this there won’t be no survivors
without us i’m no use please do us a favor
and after all of this we will still have each other

trial by fire
the last flower's trying hard not to wither
it can't survive under this stormy weather
but i know that we can both be the saviour

Trial By Fire (ft Teenage Granny)

Written in 2009, rerecorded in 2016.

Lyrics: 
"How I wish I met you sooner in my life. Somehow, I still believe that loving you feels right. How I wish I met you when we were still kids, so I could say I loved you dearly ever since. I could go on and on about you."

RADAR/2AM LYRICS

bet that you like how i talk
bet that you like how i walk too
it’s hard to see when you blazed
i’ll let you stare at the cake tho
i’ll hang a minute or 2

boy i must be tripping, lost my vision
here alone with you
don’t know what they gave me, kinda hazy
in this crowded room
can i sit right by you for a while
just lay down + smile
don’t let me pass right by you

lie down, wanna lie down
hair down with my hair down
like that i wanna love you
anything you wanting baby
lie down, wanna lie down
hair down with my hair down
like that i wanna love you
anything you wanting baby

your car’s here, we sneaking out the door and
it’s early in the morning
we’re creeping when we’re zonin’
feeling your frustration
from where my hips are placed when
you’re put into temptation
your heart is on & racing

lie down, wanna lie down
hair down with my hair down
like that i wanna love you
anything you wanting baby
lie down, wanna lie down
hair down with my hair down
like that i wanna love you
anything you wanting baby

*instrumental break*

you on my mind babe, what are you doing later on?
you just my type (aye), gotta be worth it after all
you on my mind babe, what are you doing later on?
you just my type (aye), you just my type (aye)

what if we don’t stop, where we going after?
you got my heart locked, i can’t say i got a fear
but anyways, yeah
you know what to say yeah
you make me feel safe yeah
(aye yeah aye yeah)

really don’t think i’ll say it
really don’t mind me waiting so long
you on my radar
you the only place i belong
i wanna cater to you
i’m spending later with you
fuck all the haters with you
i’m getting paper with you

2am kinda over the party
200 bitches tryna act real naughty
u see me from across the room
tryna ask me are we going soon
2am kinda over the party
200 bitches tryna act real naughty
u see me from across the room
tryna ask me are we going soon

really don’t think i’ll say it
really don’t mind me waiting so long
you on my radar
you the only place i belong
i wanna cater to you
i’m spending later with you
fuck all the haters with you
i’m getting paper with you

2am kinda over the party
200 bitches tryna act real naughty
u see me from across the room
tryna ask me are we going soon
2am kinda over the party
200 bitches tryna act real naughty
u see me from across the room
tryna ask me are we going soon

Radar/2am prod. by Lustbass

oh i remember the first time i laid my two eyes on you 
could this be true that you're standing right in front of me 

finally getting just what we need 
time alone away from home 
to the unknown 
we're exactly where we want to be 

say what you want to know in person 
before we run out of time again 

walking through scenery green and blue 
humidity hits us hard, we won't depart yet 
i've got more in mind for me and you 

say what you want to know in person 
before we run out of time again 
lately i've been meaning to ask you a question 
before we run out of time again 

dont get too close 
little words might expose 
secrets were keeping from each other now 
maybe this could work somehow 

feeling blue now that you are leaving soon 
wishing we could press restart 
convince, impart all thoughts and dreams about me and you

Disquiet Apartment - Your Favorite Distraction

All music by Tall Ice Lung

Lyrics:

"Does it scare you to know that all this time, I've been falling for you? It's not that easy to show, so there's no point in hiding the truth.

Well hello, miss. Look back. There's a boy who loves you here, and that boy is me."

Dead On A Non-Working Holiday

Tall Ice Lung - Dead On A Non-Working Holiday

~tis the season~

on days of rain and of thunder
i make some room on the bed
so i can prepare for companionship
once it's no longer just all in my head

on days of sun and of salt
i sit in the shade and look enviously
at those unafraid of the water
as if they were so different from me

take me to the moon and back, somebody please
i want to know how it feels

on days of work and of thanklessness
how nice it must be to hear,
"hello, how are you, what's wrong
would you like to talk it over a beer?"

it may be so that i'm just a fool
with my lofty fantasies
but it was never for lack of trying 
that love has never come to me

take me to the moon and back, somebody please
i want to know how it feels

(note: i now realize the mixing is quite loud.. i am sorry)

lovelessness

I'll Never Ask For More

Doomer Sa Dancefloor

//

i wish my house was by the water 
or we have a swimming pool 
so i can sit there just for hours 
instead of staying in my room

the niches i have caved for hours 
never had the chance to bloom 
wasted for another hour 
wasting chance to see you soon

load the gun and let me light it
let my hair absorb the smell 
itching for another round in
im sore from the neck down and im above it

hoping for another night in, 
i dont want to go outside
id rather be in the shell of my own 
hallucinations  

--

too jaded to search for meaning 
too wasted to feel fulfilling

stop feeling

im out of it

//

static

messed around with the keyboard idk.

She moves in her own way
She leaves sometimes she stays
My grip on her is fading
Cant keep up with her pace

I keep my windows open
To let her love sneak in
She holds me in the moment
But she’s always dreams away

Ive been terrified
But i think i might
Push through 
With loving you

I was never sure
Cuz ive heard that youre
The worst at
Being true

Id be a fool for you

She laughs at everything
But quiet when I sing
She makes me overthink
She’ll trade me on a whim

For You (Draft)
