I Couldn't Imagine Naming This Anything Else

faded in you.

LYRICS:
no i can't see the dark
faded in you, faded in you
i'm blinded by your light
nothing was true, nothing was true, nothing was true

all i'd ever need was your help
makin' sure i made it through hell
you supposed to pick me up when i fell
lil boost to take the liquor off the top shelf
nah instead you only cared for yourself
thinkin' love means i should wish you well
so imma send you hell from the wishing well
resentment came from the trust
hate came from the love, shame came from the lust
i'm fallin' to pieces, i'm turnin' to dust
you broke through my defense, you fuckin' disgust
huh, huh
never seen her treat love like a drive-by
backseat rollin' down the window on the drive side
she was undercover and she hit me with the blindside
glock blast out her second hand lettin' time fly
speedin' off, don't care if i live or if i die
hypnotized still so i lost a bit of my pride
layin' on the ground bleedin' out wavin' bye-bye

i can't see the dark
faded in you, faded in you
i'm blinded by your light
nothing was true, nothing was true, nothing was true

NOTHING WA$ TRUE

NOTHING WA$ TRUE [prod. soulyptic]

- Lyrics -

[Verse 1]
A yellow haze hangs over me
Promised I would not get stuck
Every breath pulls me in deep
Now I don’t know what’s enough
Can’t get out it spins me ‘round
Took the pill, I can’t get out

[Verse 2]
You’re not my sickness, not my joy
You’re the one thing I can’t destroy
Keep you hidden up my sleeve 
Hide the one thing I can’t leave
Hide the one thing I don’t want
Hide myself from all your taunts 

[Bridge]
I always thought that I could stop myself
I saw the end
I went outside and called a friend but the world was quiet
And now I know
I’m spinning out of control

[Chorus]
I wanna be alone in this world
I’ll paint the walls black and white
You said that you’d be missing me 
So I thought I would stick around
A young adult in yellow halls
Slip through the cracks, let me fall
Let me fall
Let me fall
Let me fall

Yellow (with Hayden Forbes)

- Lyrics -

[Verse 1]
You cling to me like a drowning man
You drag me down
You only see your own demise
In your eyes, the light slowly fades away
Where’s the signal I once saw?
I saw the smoke from your tower
The white flag you sent
The shattered glass of innocence 

[Chorus]
Shatter me with your love
Heal my wounds, lift me up
A closeness I can’t know
Heal my body, heal my soul

[Verse 2]
Kiss down my spine
Feeling every bone the further that you go
I’ll pretend that you don’t know
Place your lips in the space between my bones
You blinded me like the sun until I lost all sense
Your shattered heart is on defense 

[Chorus]
Shatter me with your love
Heal my wounds, lift me up
A closeness I can’t know
Heal my body, heal my soul

[Bridge]
It only hurts the more you know, so the less you’ll see
It only hurts the more you know, so the less you’ll see
It only hurts the more you know, so the less you’ll see

[Chorus]
Shatter me with your love
Heal my wounds, lift me up
A closeness I can’t know
Heal my body, heal my soul
Shatter me with your love
Heal my wounds, lift me up
A closeness I can’t know
Heal my body, heal my soul

- Lyrics -

[Verse 1]
Staring out my window every night
As I’d watch you go
Wave goodbye and you’d get in the car
I wouldn’t see you till tomorrow 
A little girl waiting up
To watch her dad leave for the night shift
A funny story now from years ago
Long before I’d have to know
All the troubles that a life can bring 
All the things that I was far too young to see
Spin in my head and they keep me up
Is this what life is all about?

[Chorus]
No one said that it was hard getting older
No one tells you all the right ways to go wrong
No one said that things could change so suddenly
Now I’m the one waking up to find
The right way to the wrong place
The right way to the wrong place

[Verse 2]
I walk home alone most nights 
On a path of city lights
Step after step and I count each line
Tell myself that I am just like you
Gave me your eyes and a reason to smile
And a life I can’t forget 

[Chorus]
No one said that it was hard getting older
No one tells you all the right ways to go wrong
No one said that things can change so suddenly
Now I’m the one waking up to find
The right way to the wrong place
The right way to the wrong place

[Verse 3]
Staring out my window every night
At city lights and shadows in between
It’s a maze, it’s a game we play
Growing old, it makes me sick
I walk alone on an empty path
Full on things that I will never find
Knowing that there’s such a long way left
Close my eyes and see it all
The headlights shine as you pull away
I come back to the window
Still the same little girl
Watching her dad leave for the night shift

Night Shift

oh no

(that laugh
that's a laugh of a crazy person
crazy person
crazy person)

i'm a
uh uh uh

im crazy
head dizzy while i break your face in
with a 12 inch mag cause its empty
cus i took it out on everybody
mommy daddy doggy brodie buddy and your auntie
kneel down, load the chamber, we gambling
1 round, close down, we spinning
now lemme see ya pop pop pop pop pop
pay me

i laugh at them freaks, like Kamala Harris
i make the world weep from Bahamas to Paris
them posers they love me, they copy like parrots
i pet them then put them to death with they parents
i'll talk all i want bitch i got all the merits
go on and find comfort in Chowder or Clarence
you baby
got nothin with my affairs
go sob in your puddle of sadness
i don't even care

ha ha

y'all get too cocky with luxury thinking you're gods of your buddies
need love and the comforting to help you blur out the guilt in your conscience you don't get in touch with
cause even though you're just a narcissist
you got a soul 'cause you're human, but dog you can't find it
you're stuck trying to down it with dopamine poison 'til one random moment it comes and you're crying

uh uh

miss you.

LYRICS:
i fall apart when i miss you
i fall apart when i miss you
i fall apart when i miss you

i fell apart cuz i miss you
fell for your touch the second i kissed you
it hurts that you think i would try to misuse
the sins of our past define what we been through
slow down, we're gonna hurt somebody
seen the best turn to the worst of somebody
your charm as succubus, the curse is your body
head first we flirt into a hearse for two bodies
a couple nights ago was gettin' too naughty
a couple fights ago was heated like Scotty (LA FLAME)
don't wanna go the way that Juice did with Lotti
energy of Parvati's what I wanna embody
hold on, i don't know what just happened
we went straight from action to fractions
was i just another distraction?
all i ever do is question, i'm askin'
will we ever regain the traction?
or will the light turn to refractions?
i'm scared of the fuckin' inaction
i'm screamin' and scratchin' like you did my back when-

i fell apart cuz i miss you
those soft kisses left scars through my tissue
how much of this bliss was secretly issues?
the distance has left my mind spinning, confused

and now i'm lost in our space
it seems that we barely kept the pace
a grand slam, we skippin' every base
that's why we fantasized of gettin' our own place
and now that it's come to face to face
we gotta lay inside the bed we make
so why do you act like this was mistake
see i meant every word, i never would've faked
and now my heart it breaks
if i'm your world, it quakes
my sturdy earth, it shakes
tsunamis form from lakes
despite this damn heartache
my girl, whatever it takes
i'd bet the highest stakes
that we'll end up okay
or else i'll-

i fall apart when i miss you
i fall apart

live for the chaos we make.

LYRICS:
guess these were my mistakes
guess this the way we break
back n' forth with the guessing games
live for the chaos we make
tell me what's real, what's fake
i see the hurt in your face
think that we need us some space
forever a fall from grace (ugh)

feelin' like i'm a disgrace
i'm sorry that this what it takes
to see the raw form of all the emotions i been stowin' away
see my problems act like oceans, way they be comin' in waves
the dam cannot keep em at bay
we drownin' if one of us stays
so please get the fuck out the way
i really want you to be safe
i promise that it's for your sake
no more of this cycle of pain
it's so many tears that we stained
you'd think that we'd loved in the rain
i think that i'm going insane
was scared what this love could change
that said i don't regret a thing
except for the baggage i'd bring
i loved all our talks of a ring
the fantasy queen to my king
the poetic love we would sing
it was fun and was confusing
all those late nights, hearts were moving
neither one of us expected bruising
neither one of us prepared for losing
neither one ever meant abusing
911, for the way i'm using
i've been hurt so i stay accusing
sew my mouth shut, battle choosing
heart was ready for you, mind refusing
cannot love if i can't trust the true things
cannot trust, ignoring love that you bring
shouldn't lust with conversations looming
saw the clouds knew the storm was brewing
wishful thinking that the stars were shooting
butterflies upon your hip were soothing
need a chrysalis to grow from mood swings
being honest you were right bout two things
end up hurt with the way we're moving
love would end up being our undoing

i don't wanna point and blame
i don't wanna love with shame
back n forth after guessing games
know you'll remember my name
sorry our spark's up in flames
picture perfect with broken frame
i'm mourning what this love became
good mornings just don't feel the same

LYRICS:
[CHORUS: $oLo Act]
this discomfort's my new zone
it settles in when i'm all alone
i float around in my unknown
i do my best with the light i'm shown
i know i gotta do this on my own
but the uncertainty it rattles my bones
guessin' my demeanor that of rhinestone
guess i gotta make a house a home

[VERSE 1: $oLo Act]
unknown space, wait a second
different place, redirected
sentence laced, with misdirection
sentence faced and now i'm waitin' on corrections
my insecurities are armed i am unprotected
all these fuckin' changes got me feelin' out my section
world with instabilities and constant insurrections
media literacy is natural selection
i'm over it, i'm cool with it, i'm ready for defection
the lack of understanding bleeds us dry of our affection
i'm tryna find a spark and we ain't makin' a connection
my heart is on my sleeve my only reason for reflection
at this point i could give a fuck about public reception
i'm comfortable enough to not care if i am rejected
i know that i am worth it and i'm loved and i'm respected
my self love an ego boost, you're looking at perfection

[CHORUS: $oLo Act]
this discomfort's my new zone
it settles in when i'm all alone
i float around in my unknown
i do my best with the light i'm shown
i know i gotta do this on my own
but the uncertainty it rattles my bones
guessin' my demeanor that of rhinestone
guess i gotta make a house a home

[VERSE 2: Hayden Forbes]
and as i lay a couple bass tracks (yeah)
do a take, write some riffs, then i lay back (woo)
mixing board as i play the tape back
envision more tour de force and at the end of the day
where will I stay at? (huh)
cause it’s been weighing on my mind heavy (yeah)
and as I’m checking into this diary
i got my journals ready
pen and pencil steady
and those who never met me
see me transitioning to the MD
the DC, i’m sacrificing everything
startin’ fresh in hopes to have a better me (damn)
seems the grass is never green
til the day i’m buried underneath
so what good is that when I’m only twenty-three
you feeling good boy? you look like a mess
can’t take care of yourself and you can’t handle the stress
so instead of medicating, finding ways to abuse it
put your heart and all your soul into pursuit of the music
(Yeah)

[CHORUS: $oLo Act & Hayden Forbes]
this discomfort's my new zone
it settles in when i'm all alone
i float around in my unknown
i do my best with the light i'm shown
i know i gotta do this on my own
but the uncertainty it rattles my bones
guessin' my demeanor that of rhinestone
guess i gotta make a house a home
