we could start a fire
as we pray
for the flames to go higher
in the rain

we could carve our initials
on display
but even skin crumples
and even trees age

oh we shoulda known
oh that we’re both alone
we could melt the ice in the summertime
and it’ll take a while till we realize
everything illuminates tentatively
everything evaporates eventually

that’s not to say it’s not worth it
to make a scene
take love and return it
like they do on silver screens

you can keep the footage
you can keep the change
cause’ the years will come
and our tears will rearrange

oh we shoulda known
oh that we’re both alone
we could melt the ice in the summertime
and it’ll take a while till we realize
everything illuminates tentatively
everything evaporates eventually

what good would it do
to take me with you?
what good would it do
to hold onto you?

chaos theory

did i leave the house without my keys?
forget to pay the electricity?
now i’m running late to work but if i’m running any faster, i might trip

they’ve got fast cars on this road
did i turn off the stove? did i keep the windows closed?
did i tell them that i loved them when we last were on the phone?
cause’ you never know

i know, i know, i’ve checked it twice
i apologize
but i’ve got worries like a tap flooding through my mind
these worries run my life
they keep me occupied
and when i knock on wood i worry that i’ll catch some kind of plague

i’m going crazy
you don’t have to save me.
(i’ll take a U-turn soon)

knock on wood

see i could paint you a song
maybe gain some reward
but i’m just another

you keep talking 'bout the future
talking 'bout things you adore
but i'm just another

just another

____________________________
it's not that i don't want to
not that i don't want you close to me
when you're too close, you see
i see your flaws, 
my honesty's betraying you,
betraying me
i'm victimized,
i'm no good with surprises

close, you are perfection
closer blurs the vision
please don't murder your mystery
believe me: you'll never read me
i don't think you need me

truth is, truth is -
i'm selfish, selfish.
what's the use if the truth is
i'm selfish, selfish.

bare feet on broken glass
landslide is coming fast.
but i'll let the moment pass,
'cause no good things ever last

but if you leave,
i will bleed.

truth is, truth is - 
i'm selfish, selfish.
what's the use of the truth if
if i'm selfish, selfish.

it's not that i don't want to
i just don't know how to 
hold you closer when i'm overloaded
with the gravity of possibility
of you letting me bleed,
i'm letting you bleed.

selfish

––––––––––––––––––

tryna find me like where you been
tryna find me like a long-lost friend
tryna find me like why'd you leave
and why is it so hard for me to breathe

dying to breathe like there ain't no air
writing(/righting) my wrongs like my notebook cares
tryna write(/right) my story, chase my tale(/tail)
digging through thoughts, hoping there's a feeling down there and all i feel is

*your world spinning, my world spinning, our world spinning, your world spinning, my world spinning, our world spinning, why world spin, great world spin.

tossing and turning in my head
i whine and i yearn for what i don't have
i've got so much blame there's none to spare
i'm looking down but my feet aren't even there

i'm letting my pride spill everywhere
mending cuts that weren't even there
counting the times it wasn't fair
and then i look up and all i see is
all i see is

*your world spinning, my world spinning, our world spinning, your world spinning, my world spinning, our world spinning, why world spin, great world spin.

there's something bout ambition, i mean 
something bout addiction, i mean 
something bout conviction, i mean 
something bout suspicion, i mean 
something bout the feeling that this shit just isn't fiction
i was hoping you would listen
i promise you there's

something bout ambition, i mean 
something bout addiction, i mean 
something bout conviction, i mean 
something bout suspicion, i mean 
something bout the feeling that this shit just isn't fiction
i was hoping you would listen
are you dizzy yet?

**tell me when the lights go out
so i know the switch ain't working
tell me when my time's run out
there's nothing left to do about it

tell me when the lights go out
so i know the switch ain't working
tell me when my life runs out
there's nothing i can do about it

tell me when the lights go out
there's nothing left to do about it.

our world spinning, our world spinning, why world spinning, great world spin.

great world spin – cehryl + kwame

Sitting in Silence ft. BLANDA

nobody wants to dance with me
and nobody wants to guarantee
that these versions of you and me
will float on this raging sea

honestly i could set us free
and honestly i should let it be
i’m certain this version of me
will sink in this submarine

no more running 
no more running out of breath
i’m too tired
tired of counting what is left
the curtain’s closing
let’s just take a little rest
i guess it’s for the best

somebody in some magazine
they said to me, quite convincingly
that these versions of you and me:
their beauty will freeze in memory

sanity is just a strategy
it keeps me safe from my fantasies
i’m ready, this version of me
will live through my reckless scheme

no more running 
no more running out of breath
i’m too tired
tired of counting what is left
the curtain’s closing
let’s just take a little rest
i guess it’s for the best

tango for one

you make me wonder with the things you say
you make me feel like i’m just child’s play 
and half the time you make me feel like it’ll be okay
and half the time you’re standing watching me disintegrate

you weigh me sticks and stones, i lie awake
chained in guilt, could it be my mistake?
cause’ half the time you make me feel like it’ll be okay
and half the time you’re going, gone, i’m lost in outer space


well what am i supposed to do
i don’t wanna put it on you
you’ve got my gratitude and 
i don’t know space-time enough to
paint my world for you
i’m running out of blues
if you’re sending signals
well they’re not coming through


i need your gravity, in all totality
i need your push and pull 
black holes have different rules
i’m suspended in the sky
looking down at you and i, 
i see you’re not looking out for me

half the time

shouldnt it always be so simple
like how it’s always been so simple
all of our photographs… blur
we’re running too fast

shouldn’t it always be this simple
we’ve got the ocean
time is a ripple
under the screen, we laugh, we blur
we’re swimming too fast

oooh i am an optimist
oooh i am an optimist
oooh but i’m not prepared for this, here
oooh what if i have to go
oooh what if that’s how we know
oooh the best things don’t last forever here

why can’t it always be this simple
i cry so you hold me for a little
we hide in your room with the curtains closed
to the end of the world

optimistic

FOR MY FRIEND IAN'S FILM【WHITE CRANE】, COVER PHOTO BY JONNY.


 i could run up to the roof
i’ve got nothing much to lose
the party’s loud and draining
the lonely crowd's just waiting
waiting on another
saving grace to come their way.

i'm blinking red and green
thinkin bout you and me
these paper cranes aren't folding
no more hope withholding
i'm holding on to wither
all thats left is bittersweet

you know, lately, i've been on my knees
so you won't hate me
i’m trying hard to please my fate, forsake me
cause' i don't want to take the blame today

you see the damage is overdone 
what the hell have i become
not even strong enough to say it
that we should celebrate this:
all that is remaining –
why are we both raining the same?

it's the same old empty words
same old lessons learned
down the stairs we’ll shatter
cause' we both know it matters
how could we recover,
if we never rediscover us?

but now lately, i've been on my knees
so you won't hate me
i’m trying hard to please my fate, forsake me
cause' i don't want to take the blame today

"SLOW MOTION" ALBUM COMING SOON (MAY 2019).

i don't – i don't feel hate
for you and all your bullets
no i never did, never have, and i never will.

it pains – i'm sure it pains
that i let you take the bullet
but i'd never mean to shoot, if it didn't kill.

*i'm a robot, waiting till your love rots, to choke it with a dead knot
you'll never know how i feel (if i feel).
it's a one shot, a murder with no gun shot, i tried to care till i could not
you'll never know how i feel (if i feel).

if i feel anything at all
would you be kind
to come around and tear up all this flesh still fresh
from the days i've left behind me?

but i still get flashes from time to time
i feel fear
that i'm fighting
like it's for the first time.

*i'm a robot, waiting till your love rots, to choke it with a dead knot
you'll never know how i feel (if i feel).
it's a one shot, a murder with no gun shot, i tried to care till i could not
you'll never know how i feel (if i feel).
i'm a robot, waiting till your love rots, to choke it with a dead knot
you'll never know how i feel (if i feel).
it's a one shot, a murder with no gun shot, i tried to care till i could not
you'll never know how i feel (if i feel).
