NO MATTER WHAT - from Exhibition by Eight Two

No matter what I do
I will always love you
No matter what you do
I will always love you

You can't take the truth, I'll be your lie
You go straight to jail, I will be your crime 

You're a frightened rose, I'll be your thorn
You're the end of the world, I'll be your bomb

You're a silent ghost, so I'll be your boo
You're a fuzzy bee, I'll be your honey

No matter what I do
I will always love you
No matter what you do
I will always love you

I take you, you take me, I do
I take you, you take me too
I take you, you take me, I do

For you I'd do anything, for you I'd let you go
For you I'd be anything, for you I'd be alone
For you I'd give everything, for you I'd leave you be
For you I'd love everything, for you I'd set you free

No matter what I do
I will always love you
No matter what you do
I will always love you

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ah-ahh
Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah ahh

No Matter What

LYRICS:
IT IS (THE BEST REVENGE) - from Exhibition by Eight Two

If you feel low, you should get down
Dance is the best revenge
If you feel low you should get down
Dancing is the best revenge

It is! It is! It is! It is!

If you feel, down
Dance! Revenge!
If you feel low, you should get down
Dance! Revenge!

It is! It is! It is! It is!

There is nowhere, to go to
And there's no time, to get there
There is no time, you should get down
'Cause dancing is the best revenge

It is! It is! It is! It is!

The best revenge
The best revenge
The best revenge
Is the best revenge!

Go wrong, at getting it wrong
Live wrong to love strong!

What is is!
The best!

It is! 'cause is is!  
The best, is!
The best, it is! 
The best revenge, is what is!

It is! It is! It is! It is!

It Is (The Best Revenge)

Wondering

Eight Two

Hey, I'm Eight Two (they/them)—a nonbinary, queer, neurodivergent genre fluid singer-songwriter and self-taught visual artist carving out my own space in the world of art rock. My journey began in the vibrant streets of Brooklyn in 2008, where I found solace and inspiration in the power of music.

As a multi-instrumentalist, my primary tools are the guitar and my voice, weaving together melodies that speak to the soul. From thought-provoking philosophical musings to uplifting motivational anthems, my songs are a reflection of my quest for creativity, connection, and meaning.

Despite navigating the world without social media or a phone, I'm here to share my sonic journey with you. Whether you're a fellow oddball, a seeker of truth, or simply someone looking for a bit of inspiration, there's a place for you in my musical universe.

So join me on this adventure as I craft my next album, fueled by authenticity, vulnerability, and a whole lot of heart. Together, let's explore the depths of our creativity, forge meaningful connections, and celebrate the beauty of being unapologetically ourselves.
