​It feels like 10 years of my life has been compressed into one. This year has been an emotional roller coaster. From immersing myself to a whole new scene, getting to know new sets of friends, dealing with depression, and getting my heart broken over and over. Taking long drags, and trying to light up something that we are holding on to until it fails — and then maybe, we try again... like a badly burned cigarette.

From the bottom of my heart, with all the happiness and sorrows...we’ll be okay.

I would like to thank all the amazing people who helped me throughout the making of this album: NoFace Records; my dearest friends Kensa, WYP, and Bedsettler for taking a part in this project; and most especially, to Serena D.C. for producing all the beats used in this album.

Bad Burn

WYP: 
So, its been a while since I thought about this deeply 
I've put this off long enough 
You gotta, you gotta, listen to me clearly 
I finally wanna get off this road 
Ain't stickin no more with someone who's slowing me down 

I heard you loud and clear 
That I ain't who I used to be, 
I guess that's true, but how the fuck is that my fault 
That my growth made u feel like I left you, 
Aren't you supposed to grow too? 
Holdin' your hand, so I could share the weight you been carryin' 
I never hesitated 'til you decided to not move at all, wasn't that your call? 


FOSSILS: 
You stepped into my world full of expectations 
Built an image suited to your desires and vision 
Tryna morph me to a person under your directions 
But why do I feel like I do not know where I’m goin' 

I’m chasin, and chasin', when you said you were stayin' 
You’re ahead of the race, where I’m not participating 
Dust on my face, while you poppin bottles of champagne 
I sit on the bench, watching you, the highlight of the game 

And now you telling me that you’re leaving for the best of us? 
I know you’re leaving me cus you think that I’m a hindrance 
Paperweight, keepin you from flyin to much greater heights 
Hesitate? but whenever I try, I don’t really suffice 

We’ve made it this far, and travelled so long 
Had a pause while I’m in pain that you watched to prolong 
Now I am lost in this unfamiliar road 
How do I get back to take off all the fucking load 

HOOK (FOSSILS): 
Bye, I’m never gonna see you again (never gonna see you again 2x) 
Bye, never thought that last night’s gonna be the end 
(was gonna be the end) 
(gonna be the end, gonna, gonna, gonna be the end) 


BEDSETTLER: 
We were alone on our 
We were alone on our 
We were alone on our 
We were alone on our own 
We are all alone 

You were alone on your 
You were alone on your 
You were alone on your 
You were alone on your own 

We had everything in place 
Now we couldnt believe its all gone 

Lately, craving for you badly 
Crazy, to think that you said maybe 

Wouldn't want anything else 
Your touch, your kiss on me 
Everything made sense 
When will i get to feel this way again 


HOOK (FOSSILS): 
Bye, I’m never gonna see you again (never gonna see you again 2x) 
Bye, never thought that last night’s gonna be the end 
(was gonna be the end) 
(gonna be the end, gonna, gonna, gonna be the end)

Monday feat. WYP & Bedsettler

HOOK: 
You want it all 
You want it now 
You want it fast and quick 
You want it instant 
All you wanted was to fucking click 
To fucking click (aye) 4x 


You mothafucka think everything is so easy 
Writin weak rhymes, dressin up like Yeezy 
Actin like a bitch to get the nods in a breeze-y 
Machiavellian game, but your team is losin 

You like big numbers but you never do math 
You're a downward slope when I write you in a graph 
You wonder why you're laughed at? You're a fucking joke 
You can choke on your delusions of grandiose 

And you boast, like you own all of these 
You’re nothing but a pesky disease 
Faker than your peers, they’re plastic 
Everything you do is inorganic 

You think you're hot but you're not 
so better shut the fuck up, bitch 
Suckin up like a leech 
to get some credit so you better shut the fuck up bitch 
Before you start yappin, go write a full album 
Stop talkin bout stars you're not fucking sagan 
So why are you frontin? You don't have the leisure 
Releasin this work before yours, have a seizure! 


HOOK: 
You want it all 
You want it now 
You want it fast and quick 
You want it instant 
All you wanted was to fucking click 
To fucking click (aye) 4x 


You think you're poppin' cuz you have it viral 
When the fever stops, you're a non-potent bacteria 
Applying heat gets you easily killed We watch you shrivel beneath 
Sweep you with ease, you're smaller than dirt, you will only get hurt when you're messin' with me 


Run, run, and you're gone gone 
Watchout for my bullets they can make you go pow pow 
and you're dead now 
like your dreams are 
I'm a scimitar 
slicing down your throat 
like I'm fuckin Darth Maul 

So stop with the lyin, or find yourself lyin 
6 feet underground, you'll not gonna like it 
Why you keep demanding, but do not go grindin? 
So quit with the bitchin, the world's not forgiving 


HOOK: 
You want it all 
You want it now 
You want it fast and quick 
You want it instant 
All you wanted was to fucking click 
To fucking click (aye) 4x

Scorched

​HOOK:
Topple down the system
warning this is not a drill x3
Everyone one is going down
we gonna kill kill kill
Topple down the system, warning, this is not a drill
F*K are bringin out the heavy guns, spreadin fear
Shooting everything in sight, blood is gonna spill
Everyone is going down, we're gonna kill kill kill

FOSSILS:
I’m the motherfuckin’ reaper
with the keeper of the flame
We be putting in ya,
thousand rounds, sprayin’ all over your fucking troopers
You be shoutin’ “spare us”
but everyone is goin’ down, finer than angel dust
High on adrenaline
We want to kill em all, and we don’t know where to begin
Starting from the bottom or the top,
doesn’t matter, we won’t stop
ricochet the fucking glock
flesh and blood over the block
Raining blood once we sit on the throne
Real or not, we be slitting your throats
Upon your bones we are building our kingdom
Fuck green notes, you’ll be burning within ‘em
F & K on top of carcasses
of dead sheeps, dead wolves, and presidents
Destroying other bandits, bring out the caskets
Burn down the Earth and everyone within it


​HOOK:
Topple down the system
warning this is not a drill x3
Everyone one is going down
we gonna kill kill kill
Topple down the system, warning, this is not a drill
F*K are bringin out the heavy guns, spreadin fear
Shooting everything in sight, blood is gonna spill
Everyone is going down, we're gonna kill kill kill


KENSA:
Load all our guns, sugar, we're goin sweet to sour
Disfigure every person in our vision, it's the witching hour
Rebellious fallen angels
Lost our halos and our wings
Like the Pharoah and the Sphinx

Steppin and spittin and breaking hearts on top of all of your graves
The romance that we cherish is to leave all our dead victims desecrated
Satanic practices infused with fallen angel dust
All to bring the devil out with concentrated lust

Maleficent, wicked, pure evil
Smokin sherm, sippin gin and tonic, misanthropic cult leaders
We raised Cupid to a black-winged seraphim
Holdin hands and submachine guns
Ba-ba-ba-bam, kill!

Our motive isn't for the bread or vendetta, but for pleasure
Our fetish is the screams of a dying a capella
Demented Jolly Jane and Jack the Ripper
F & K, demon-driven gunslingers
We gon kill ya
Blood, flesh, we gon kill ya
F & K rippin out your veins
I said we gon kill ya


​HOOK:
Topple down the system
warning this is not a drill x3
Everyone one is going down
we gonna kill kill kill
Topple down the system, warning, this is not a drill
F*K are bringin out the heavy guns, spreadin fear
Shooting everything in sight, blood is gonna spill
Everyone is going down, we're gonna kill kill kill

Modus Vivendi feat. Kensa

Have you looked at yourself in the mirror, tryna make sense of all the noise you've been hearin? 
Look into my eyes and see I'm disturbed, voices in my head are screamin' 
I've been meaning to get out of this place, get out of this curb 
Get out of this daze, my days are absurd 
I'd tried to recoup, but the world is a mess 
Worse than my head, and it's adding more stress 


Do you ever feel like you're watching everything while your body's dead, but your head's floating and you feel like the world's unfolding but you're falling behind? 
You can't seem to follow, you're stuck in a bind that you did yourself, trying to undo, reachin' out for help 
But everything you do, takes you back from the start again 
Then you realize, you're stuck, never reach the end 
Lookin at the mirror, have you asked yourself "where to begin?" 


Trying to stop an eruption 
Underneath my skin is corruption 


From afar, I've been gazing at these people concealed with masks of laughter, makes me wonder what they're hidin' 
Must be something terrifyin 
What is it that they feel? Running 'round in circles, chasing idols, they don't know what is real 
Then it goes, and it goes, and it goes 
Everyday, they follow after ghosts 
They be acting like they're going with the flow 
(but) it's all for show, it's all for show 


Trying to stop an eruption 
Underneath my skin is corruption 


HOOK: 
It's all the same 
Trying to escape this wretched loop 
It's all a dream, and it's too late

Across the Rubicon

Clinking glasses of martinis and champagne 
Laughter resonating across the room they go insane 
Bodies shakin bouncin with the tempo of the beat 
Sweat drippin but they keep on groovin, fuck the heat 
Dark room illuminated by their bright eyes 
Ice on their neck, their nose, and their golden chalice 
Exchanging kisses with unfamiliar faces 
Hazy, dazy, they don't give a fuck what day it is 


(No No No) I want to join the fun, but there's comfort in a corner 
(No No No) Will I have the same smile like those on the dance floor? 
(No No No) Attracted by neon lights, dreaming on drunken nights 
(No No No) I wanna be in jive, but my moves are out of step 


So get your groove on, show your moves son 
Crank the volume up, let the bass thump your lungs 
Sway your hips left and right, let it go, do the grind 
The night is young, free your mind. Everything will be alright. 

(Pa-pa-para-pa) Let me have a bite, Let me have a bite on those lies 
(Pa-pa-para-pa) Plastering a smile, while the truth is in disguise 


The hang over, they try to forget 
Running through their system mixed feelings they regret 
Warm bodies turned to fuck buddies, can't digest 
Without the smoke, it's a fleeting feeling, doesn't last 
Danced til the break of dawn, with a different beat 
Ingesting numbers rather than hennys, crises and gin 
Morning has a different groove than the fantasy 
Last night feels like a fiction, like a movie 


(No No No) I want to join the fun, but there's comfort in a corner 
(No No No) Will I have the same smile like those on the dance floor? 
(No No No) Attracted by neon lights, dreaming on drunken nights 
(No No No) I wanna be in jive, but my moves are out of step 


So get your groove on, show your moves son 
Crank the volume up, let the bass thump your lungs 
Sway your hips left and right, let it go, do the grind 
The night is young, free your mind. Everything will be alright. 


(Pa-pa-para-pa) Let me have a bite, Let me have a bite on those lies 
(Pa-pa-para-pa) Plastering a smile, while the truth is in disguise 


Closin them lights you are lost 
Throwin everything but at what cost 
You and the night star-crossed 
Dreams of glitz and glamour dies in permafrost 
Fuck the party, fuck the fame 
Burn it with the black flame of your shame 
You only have yourself to blame for your games 
Sit the fuck down I am ready with the aim 
Spray, spray, spray it 
Empty the whole fucking clip (ya) 
Bullets goin through your brainless skull 
Splatter pink matter on the dance floor 
Spray, spray, spray it 
Empty the whole fucking clip (ya) 
Killin vibes by killin lies 
I'mma killin lives serve as killin guides (whoa) 


(Yah yah yah) Don't wanna join the fun, cause there's comfort in a corner 
(Yah yah yah) Wouldn't have the same smile like those on the dance floor! 
(Yah yah yah) Blinded by neon lights, dying on drunken nights 
(Yah yah yah) Don't wanna be in jive with you I'll do my own moves and steps 


I'll get my groove on, look at my moves son 
The volume's not enough, the bass ain't deep enough to thump 
Leave the room left and right, end it all and do the grind 
The night is dark, ain't getting young. Everything is not alright 


(Pa-pa-para-pa) Go and have a bite, Go and have a bite on those lies 
(Pa-pa-para-pa) Plastering a smile, while the truth is hurting you inside 
(Pa-pa-para-pa) x2

Out of Keeping

​HOOK: 
But you're not in my arms, 
I'll see you in another life 
(see you in another life) 
Meant to be separated by destiny 
No matter where this ends, 
I'll have you for eternity 
I'll wake up from this dream 
And our worlds are not apart 
(our worlds are not apart) 
Just one night full of reveries 
Engraved in our memories 
Momentary sweet serendipity 


FOSSILS: 
It was a warm night, we met after daylight 
Under the moonlight, spendin’ time flyin high/ 
The sight of you makes me smile 
the way you look at me with those eyes 
Chest thumping loudly singing lullabies 
Frequencies align perfectly to harmonize 
Swifting through space moving to paradise 
Penny for your thoughts, are you up to catalyse? 

Full spectrum, days whiter with emotions 
Every tint, every shade, colorful commotion 
within my chest is an explosion 
Tryna hide inside my crust, a melting pot reaction 
Hotter than a thousand suns, stronger than its pull 
Eluding gravity, we can make our love rule 
Locked in space, lost in time with the stars 
We'll be moving from quarks to quasars 

KENSA: 
Can you feel the heart kickstart your adrenaline? 
The fiery impulse pulsates that we undress again 
I'll make you feel tonight's your noble coronation 
When we connect the dots to trace our love's constellation 


FOSSILS 
Your stare ignite flames makin nights brighter 
Spark in your gaze, candours fire on cylinders 


KENSA 
Our romantic tale is promised 'til the end 
Until the universe collapses and it reverses back into another big bang 


HOOK: 
But you're not in my arms, 
I'll see you in another life 
(see you in another life) 
Meant to be separated by destiny 
No matter where this ends, 
I'll have you for eternity 
I'll wake up from this dream 
And our worlds are not apart 
(our worlds are not apart) 
Just one night full of reveries 
Engraved in our memories 
Momentary sweet serendipity 


KENSA: 
Started as some bubble-blowin kids in the sandbox 
Separated by their own fates in a padlock 
They say that true love can conquer the test of time 
I'll be searchin for the capsule that can travel to your present 
Unravel all the magic in your lips 
Taste the words of your penmanship and seal it with a kiss 
You can be my sweetheart, I can be your bitterbrain 
A swish of neon colours in the canvas that you fingerpaint 

Baby, it's progression in the symphony 
Where every note is played with perfection from memory 
At the touch of the flesh, our bodies interlace 
I'm cuddling your heart with all the stars in the Milky Way 
We agreed to be the victims of the poetry 
Fingers interlocked, supernova in your ovaries 
Delve into a shared lucid dream together 
Where we bend the laws of physics and the rules that restrict us 


FOSSILS: 
We’ll make our dreams our reality 
I will hold your hand, through infinity 
Take you to places that haven’t existed 
when we feel tired and exhausted 

KENSA: 
Reachin for the stars, what we have is eternal 
I would hold up the whole sky just to make you feel better 
FOSSILS 
I’m done counting my cards 
I give you myself, whole nine yards 


HOOK: 
But you're not in my arms, 
I'll see you in another life 
(see you in another life) 
Meant to be separated by destiny 
No matter where this ends, 
I'll have you for eternity 
I'll wake up from this dream 
And our worlds are not apart 
(our worlds are not apart) 
Just one night full of reveries 
Engraved in our memories 
Momentary sweet serendipity

Asymptotes feat. Kensa

I’m used to doing solo flights 
Getting up for my own fight 
Livin’ this worry-free life, drinkin’ beers ’til sunrise 
Catchin’ the last train, everything was alright 
I get home, get comfortable 
All is dull, but I feel casual 
I’ve been livin’ alone for a really long time 
Then you came along 

HOOK: 
You got me thinking, how this will end 
‘Cause when I’m with you, I don’t pretend 
Is this a daydream, is it real? 
It’s unfamiliar, how this feels 


I used to sleep not scared of tomorrow 
It has been nice not knowing what I don’t know 
Now everything to me feels like a slow-mo 
I am catching on my breath, I’m on a limbo 
This is crazy, what it is that you got me 
Colors that I see, I haven’t seen this dazzlin’ 
Is this how it feels like when you’re dyin’? 
What is it that I’m feelin’?

Querencia

It started off cool 
Madly in love like two fools 
We didn't think about it, we didn't have rules 
Fire in our hearts, and we're burning all the fuel 
smoking til we drop, until the sun's up 
Coppin' all them bitches, thought we never gonna stop 
You're the Vincent of my Jules where the flying fuck is Wallace (what?)
nothing really matters when we got love and dollas 

It's downhill from here 
You started making rules I didn't want to adhere 
We were havin fun but you wanted to steer 
away from all the things we love, and downshift a gear 
When things turned sour, I always find escape 
On every crunch hour, you were always late 
You wanted me to wait, while I'm doing all the grind 
You thought that I left but you're the first to leave me behind 

HOOK: 
I'll be okay 
I have to find myself 
to be a better girl 


I don't even know where to start again, 
pourin through a pen, feelings that I went through then 
Asked myself, when will I get over? 
Searching everywhere just to look for answers 
Finding myself up on witching hours 
Burning things up that we once called "ours" 
Fuck this shit, I don't care anymore 
Hand me the gun, and close the door 


HOOK: 
I'll be okay 
I have to find myself 
to be a better girl
