We all wear a mask...(the identity we show to others) and under that mask is the real you (the you only YOU know).
I was afraid my mask wasn’t good enough or scary enough or funny enough or cool enough... so I took it off. Fuck pretending to be somebody else. I hope my upcoming album, “Halloween, but All Year”, helps you embrace the person under the mask... the you that doesn’t need to hide. 🎃🖤

Lyrics:
I try but I never succeed
I wish that I could be someone
That I'll never be
I try but I never succeed
I wish that I could be someone
That I'll never be
No I'll never be

Wonder who I am as I stare in
The bathroom mirror as the shower fogs it up
And I think of what I've done
What I will do
And what I'll be after everything adds up
Once again I descend into madness
Take a deep breath, time passes
And nothing ever lasts
So I can find some peace in that
For a minute, then that feeling comes creeping back
What do I say when you ask me how I'm doing?
I just say I'm fine
Try to keep it moving
But in the back of my mind
I feel like I'm going to lose it
Sad part, if I died
It would probably be for their amusement

I try but I never succeed
I wish that I could be someone
That I'll never be
I try but I never succeed
I wish that I could be someone
That I'll never be
(No I'll never be)

I try but I never succeed
I wish that I could be someone
that I'll never be

Wish I Knew

Lyrics:
Always say I'm gonna leave
But you call my bluff
Girl, you know I'll never leave
I love you too much
And when you got to fall
I'll be your crutch
I'll be by your side
I'll hold you up
Always say I'm gonna leave
But you call my bluff
Girl, you know I'll never leave
I love you too much
And when you got to fall
I'll be your crutch
I'll be by your side
I'll hold you up

Hey Hey Hey Hey
Baby don't leave
I want you to stay
Don't go away
They say to obey
Middle finger to the face
Let's run away
We can hit the beach
And the mountains if you want to
Looking at the stars
Nah, I'd rather look at you
It's okay if you're scared
I've been hurt in the past, too
Put me in a bad mood
Went and got some tattoos
Just another dead end
I went back to bed
Woke up kind of sad
And that's when we met
First we had a picnic
Then I got my dick licked
Got high like some quidditch
And forgot we did it

Always say I'm gonna leave
But you call my bluff
Girl, you know I'll never leave
I love you too much
And when you got to fall
I'll be your crutch
I'll be by your side
I'll hold you up

Lyrics:

Got something I'd like to do
Hop in to bed with you
With you
And your skin reflects the moon
Just lying in bed
Girl you light up the room
We kiss but it ends too soon

Waiting for the next one
And if it never comes
Then it's on to the next one
And baby
I can't leave a trail of bread crumbs
Thought that it was love
Now it's on to the next one
Thought that it was love
Now you're on to the next one
Used to breaking hearts
But one day you'll learn your lesson
You don't want to hear it
But your heart's not a weapon
Always disappear
And come back like it never happened
Guess it never happened
Piece my heart together
And I find a new distraction
Got something I'd like to do
Hop in to bed with you
With you
Something in my head
That I can't let go
I remember how you treated me before
Woah
Said you love me
Then my eyes went to the floor
Said a lot of things
But I've heard it all before
Waiting for the next one
And if it never comes
Then it's on to the next one
And baby I can't leave a trail of bread crumbs
Thought that it was love
Now it's on to the next one
Thought that it was love
Now you're on to the next one
Used to breaking hearts
But one day you'll learn your lesson

Lyrics:
[Foreign Forest]
Say you care
Just say you care
I don't even know you're there
Sad to say
It's sad to say
Just gotta let you walk away
Say you care
Just say you care
I don't even know you're there
Sad to say
It's sad to say
Just gotta let you walk away

Wouldn't be the first time
That you left me hurt
I gave you all I had
And then you let it burn up
I said yeah you let it burn up
Up, up, up
Now there's nothing on the inside
Not at all
I've got no one by my side
No one to call
Push them all away
And it's all my fault
I've got light pouring through the bullet holes in my wall

Say you care
Just say you care
I don't even know you're there
Sad to say
It's sad to say
Just gotta let you walk away
Say you care
Just say you care
I don't even know you're there
Sad to say
It's sad to say
Just gotta let you walk away

[Deep October]
Six in the morning
Ten at night
Nothing's important
Enough to die for
I
I see the stars align
I
I watch them all the time
Cold in the summer
And I'm coming down
I'm humming now
To a hundred sounds
Doves sing another
To a crowd so young
In a house of guns
In the south we love
And I guess that makes two of us then
Wives tell tales of truth to husbands
Oh
Walls tell tales and the hills have eyes
The walls tell tales and the hills have eyes
The walls tell tales and the hills have eyes
The walls tell tales and the hills have eyes

Lyrics:
Pick up the pieces,
Don't wanna leave this
It don't bother me
Baby, you're my Mona Lisa
Want to see you smile
But don't want no other feature
Some want to be in love
I don't know just what I need
It went from Mona Lisa to anesthesia
Opened up my heart
And now it's totally shut
Staring at the stars
Wonder if they stare at me
Start to feel the rain
Nah, it's just tears on my cheek

And I still lay awake at night
'Cause I can't sleep
Thought I heard you knock
It was my heartbeat
Broken pieces yeah they cut me
Better to have loved and lost
Then to have never loved at all
I guess I'm lucky

Pick up the pieces,
Don't wanna leave this
It don't bother me
Baby, you're my Mona Lisa
Want to see you smile
But don't want no other feature
Some want to be in love
I don't know just what I need
It went from Mona Lisa to anesthesia
Opened up my heart
And now it's totally shut
Staring at the stars
Wonder if they stare at me
Start to feel the rain
Nah, it's just tears on my cheek

[foreign forest]
hey october
do you remember me
time has passed
but now you’re back
i bet you think
i look a little different
but I still feel the same inside
i just have a few missing
pieces that I’m trying to find
this october
i'm laying in the leaves
eating pumpkin pie
this october 
going outside
Staying up all night
this october
i want you by my side
this october
until the end of time
we can be ghosts if you want to
you can let go
but I’ll hold you

[lund]
lean on me
put your trust in solid ground
a safe place we can both be free
life move thru the
ups and downs
ups and downs
all i need
your voice the sweetest sound
my all, my everything
in you a home i’ve found
a home i’ve found
heal my scars
knew the moment
that i met you
came from the stars
a work of art
heaven sent you
melt my heart
skippin beats
when we kiss too
i don’t want to be
anywhere but here with you
fan a flame
no our love won’t die
spend forever to eternity
lost in your eyes
silhouette of you
dancing in my mind
know i’ll never leave
want you by my side

[foreign forest]
hey october
do you remember me
time has passed

[foreign forest: hook]
stuck in my head
feels like always
tired of all these
empty hallways
miss the feeling then
well the one that I had back then
tastes bittersweet
it's red velvet
way I miss you
I can't help it
I cannot pretend
can't get you out of my head
x2

[foreign forest: verse]
tears running down my face
it's okay I didn't shower yet today
all my problems go away
and all the pain
rushes straight to my brain
sorry if I need a moment
it's my problem and I own it
I love you and you know it
but it's not enough I know it

[foreign forest: hook]
stuck in my head
feels like always
tired of all these
empty hallways
miss the feeling then
well the one that I had back then
tastes bittersweet
it's red velvet
way I miss you
I can't help it
I cannot pretend
can't get you out of my head
x2

[lilidentitycrisis: verse]
can't get you out of my head
'cause all the things you've said
i'm waiting outside
i want to be in your bed
i'll be by your side
in case these things they go red
in case these things they go bad
yeah i got your back
i will be better off
with having you back
you told me don't get involved
you told me don't get attached
and now i'm sinking in love
and i don't want to look back
and i don't want to look back
because i know you're the one
and i don't want to fuck this up
even though it's already done
because sometimes i fuck up
and sometimes i'm like hold up
and sometimes you're like shut up
so i look at you like what

Lyrics:
Said it's not what you take away
It's what you failed to say
But sometimes I choke
On the words in my throat
You say how don't you suffocate
Well I been holdin' my breath for a while
See your face in the window every mile
Sad it's just a mirage
I know you've got a lot to say

We drove by the graveyard
You said bring your guitar
We could light a fire
Sing songs and look at the stars
Who's going to catch us
Everybody's dead here
Sippin' on Octoberfest
It's the best beer
Black cats, bad luck
But who really gives a f***
And maybe one day I'll grow fangs
And we'll get rid of this bad blood

Said it's not what you take away
It's what you failed to say
But sometimes I choke
On the words in my throat
You say how don't you suffocate
Well I been holdin' my breath for a while
See your face in the window every mile
Sad it's just a mirage
I know you've got a lot to say

Said it's not what you take away
It's what you failed to say
But sometimes I choke
On the words in my throat
You say how don't you suffocate
Well I been holdin' my breath for a while
See your face in the window every mile
Sad it's just a mirage
I know you've got a lot to say

Lyrics:
I've been quiet but can't say why
Some days pass and I don't try
Eyes feel heavy mouth feels dry
Thought I might but don't know why
Then I walk too far I forgot the end
Thought I'd text you but I didn't
Thought of you but just for a moment
You're in a fight with the thoughts in my head

You’re in a fight with the thoughts in my head
Thinking bout how you were all I want
Thought I loved you in the spur of the moment
But that goes away when I wake in the morning
And you play pretend
And I can see the end
Maybe we’ll meet again
Meet again
We’ll meet again

I've been quiet but can't say why
Some days pass and I don't try
Eyes feel heavy mouth feels dry
Thought I might but don't know why
Then I walk too far I forgot the end
Thought I'd text you but I didn't
Thought of you but just for a moment
You're in a fight with the thoughts in my head

Lyrics:
I'll be, there when you need me
Just call my...

Hey October, I can feel your leafs
Always hate when you have to leave
I was just in the back of my car
Smoking cigarettes, give a fuck about the tar
Playing guitar while I stare at your face
I remember you were my everything
My only safe place

Hey October, I'm glad to see you now
It's always a blur until you come around
Hey October, I love your amber glow
It's the greatest feeling I've ever known

Never leave your side
I will never leave your side
I know you're down to ride
I know you're down to ride
I be there when you open your window, window
Won't you see me when your eyelids close, lids close?
I never wanna be with no one except you
I hope that you feel the same way I do

hey october ft. jxsh (prod. arthrn)

Lyrics:

ℒund:
Might just feel my brain with lead
Torture from the words you said 
Running through my head
Late while I lie in bed 
You know from these wrists I’ve bled
(x2)

Blood on my t shirt 
Blood on my carpet
So sick and tired 
Of all of this fighting 
Where are we going 
Why are we lying
What do we do now
We are all dying
 
This world that were all living in is fucking hell 
I swear to god sometimes it makes me want to kill myself
This is a maze, where's the exit 
Fuck it i can’t tell
Asking god why i cant check out 
Triple 6 hotel.

I forgot to die 
I guess ill wake up
Girl I told you 
You look better with no make up
I don't wanna go no where 
Let's just stay home
It just seems like lives better when were alone

(But still theres)
Blood on my T-shirt 
Blood on my carpet
(ohhh)
So sick and tired 
Of all of this fighting
(Fuck all the fighting)
Where are we going 
Why are we lying
(Why are we lying)
What do we do now
We are all dying
(we are all dying)
(x2)

Foreign Forest:
You were on my good side then
Now I'm getting high with my friends
Ima focus on my ends
If you wanted just to play pretend
Then you should have said you love me then
(x2)

Off the drugs
'Cause you ran off with your love
You were just here for the buzz
That's what this life always does
No fair now
Smell you when my hairs down
Picture perfect
Now I'm feeling worthless
I'll get over your spell
Only home for you is hell
Hope your frozen cold
When you see my gold

Tears on my T-shirt
Tears on my carpet
I'm all alone now
Feeling nostalgic
Where did my time go
I gave it to you
If I paid attention
I would've seen through you
(x)

Lyrics:

I don't got time I can borrow
See if I can drive and keep my eyes closed
Don't know if I'll see tomorrow
and when I'm gonna die only God knows

Drink in my cup got my heart slow
Weed in my system got my eyes low
Life is just a pill thats hard to swallow
Peoples actions make me hollow

So i'm hello
Goodbye Ima get high
Cause that's the only remedy
to turn who is my enemy
Inside my head to friends with me

but maybe it was plain to see
we weren't made to be
you and me
so ima take the high road
cause thats the only way i'll be able to carry on
ima find those pieces of my broken heart and
take them home

and ima ride home tell your mama that im sorry for everything

and ima take the high road
cause thats the only road i know
ima find those letters i wrote to myself

lyrics:
hold you close like a doll, i'm a kid at heart
super late out, but i like it in the dark
there's monsters in the street, baby stick to me
you can hold my hand while we trick or treat
and the night sky gets lit on fire
when i look in your eyes it just makes me higher, 
not a jackass, i'm a jack-o-lantern
and if i knocked baby would you even answer

i feel like a ghost 'cause you see right through me
second that we might it's like you already knew me
i was like "oh shit, am i in too deep?"
nah, i think i'm cool i'm just foolin'
around and around again
you walk around in side my head
when i'm with you i don't feel fear
feels like halloween, but it's all year

With my eyes closed
I think I can see the bigger picture
Where I'm supposed to be I'll never figure out
So I don't talk 'cause nobody will listen now
So I just keep my eyes closed
'Cause when I keep 'em open I lose my hope
That's how life goes
Dream until my life goes
When I die I'll be an angel and I'll fly home
Yeah, I'll fly home

Cut me up
Take out all my insides, like a pumpkin

Oh, one day I'll be ashes, nothing more
Hope that you loved me while I was here
'Cause you can't anymore
Don't waste your time wondering what could change
Those kinds of thoughts never lead anywhere
But to the grave

Think fast 'cause I think it's time to move on
I been in my fucking head for too long
I hate that we can never get along
I try to talk to you but you never hear my songs
You hear the beat yeah, that's all you ever notice
I start to think are you dumb, or do you not focus?
I've been dealing with a lot, say you didn't know it
But I know you knew it, yeah I know you knew it

Wake up, say something baby
I can't live my life without you
They don't care about you baby
Like I do

Oh, one day I'll be ashes, nothing more

Sun goes down while our hands go up
New to this town, no they don't know us
Oh well, maybe baby they can't tell
They work hard just to build their own hell
Somethings going down but I don't know what
Feel it in my bones like they're made of dust
And if I fall wouldn't that be swell?
Fade away til the black turns pastel
Never open up but with you, I can't shut
Movies in my mind they got extended cuts
I just see you, I don't even see myself
I don't need to, 'cause you pull me out of my shell
Yeah it feels weird but I could adjust
Been a long time since I knew how to trust
I'm at a crossroads but we're so parallel
Got my stomach turning knots like a carousel

Like a carousel

Lyrics:

So what if I act way younger than I am?
Sometimes I'm just like damn
I don't wanna grow up to be like them
I could never work a job again
Moved away once but I missed my friends
Getting caught up, stuck in my head
I don't wanna grow up that shit is dead
x2

Getting back into the swing of things
The positives and negatives my life brings
Like I'm on a rolleracoshter I hold my breath
Gotta keep my hopes up 'cause I'm not dead yet

so what

lyrics:

ℒund:
Love is like a twister
And girl you got me shook up
I know I shouldn’t miss you 
When your the one that fucked up
But thats just a heartbreak 
Pulling on my heartstrings 
Girl you make my heartache
I'm used to all this pain now
Head full of voices
I'm going insane now
There's nothing you can change now
They gon' find me hanging
You're the one to blame now

Forest:
I’ve seen you before
Outside that door
What you staring for
Girl I know you want more
Wanna see my room
I could give you a tour
And if it gets cold
I could light a fire
That could keep you warm
Feeling so torn
Feelings hit me like storm
Deja vu, oh my lord

Forest & ℒund:
All The Time
You Ruin My Mind
All I Want
Is to be with you
That’s all I Want

always melt when we're alone
you on the way over
let's get it over with
i'll make time if you make time
we'll never run out of it

(ignorance is bliss, ignorance is bliss)

I do this to myself all the time
tell myself that i'm fine 
but I know inside i'm on fire
feel this hole in my heart
wish you were in my arms
but it never seems to work out right
it never seems to work out
wish that we could figure it out

I do this to myself all the time
tell myself that i'm fine 
but I know inside i'm on fire
feel this hole in my heart
wish you were in my arms
but it never seems to work out right

Always melt when we're alone
You on the way over,
let's get it over with

Saw your face in the photo
So I threw it in the fire

Go ahead cut my wrist
I bet you'll have yourself some red wine
Nothing is ever what it seems
Like you better in my dreams
Can't shake off this feeling
I'm living in a nightmare
I said I'm living in a nightmare
I can't wake up from this
Your spell pulls me under quick
Tell me that you love me
Always does the trick
I swear you're such a fucking bitch

Dumb
How could I be so fucking dumb
Make me numb
From the drugs
They only make me wanna run
from my problems
x2

Saw your face in the photo
So I threw it in the fire
but I didn't see no smoke
I guess our love can never die
x2

foreign forest
