i keep
it all in
wait for your validation.
to calm me again
mmm yea
i keep
it all in
and wait for your validation.
to calm me again

two times
i couldn’t waste it
always said i wouldn’t say shit
spent a whole week in my basement
thinking bout the love you gave me
and threw it away
never gave you too much of me anyway
blue texts adding up
kept me in the gray
pull me in
push away
when there’s nothing to say

i keep
it all in
wait for your validation.
to calm me again
you pull the strings
of my heart
i'm a marionette
and the play never starts
caught in the dark
never knew
i was never a part
a part
a part
okay

now i lost another part of me
true colors in the dark
they were hard to see
i thought you would be kind
a wasp in a beehive
caught in a disguise
you've always been

and it’s torture
the pain and disorder
you painted a portrait
of paradise
when i was closer
to getting my closure
i saw the vultures
i’m paralyzed

i keep
it all in
(keep it all in)
wait for your validation.
to calm me again
(calm me again)
you pull the strings
of my heart
i'm a marionette
and the play never starts
caught in the dark
never knew
i was never a part
a part
a part
a part

i keep
it all in
and wait for your validation.
to solve me within
i knew i couldn’t cave in
it’s your book i took a page from
and laid face down on the pavement
when it’s you who could’ve saved me
i just need your vali-

validation.

MANIC

MANIC [demo]

prod me

and if we fall out of touch
i'll be thinking bout if our call was too much
[?i'll mend it] silently i'll crawl to ur gun
you lied to me but its my fault that i fell for it, i folded up

the toll is up
you shouldered up, i felt that
i sold my lungs
petroleum will fill them
its all too much
you start to rush, i feel bad
put on a leash cause i just cant reel back

and now im breathing in my blood left on the pavement
i saw my face up on the tv its amazing
i finally found what im looking for
so good that i cant ignore
just let me lie on the floor in estrangement

and if we fall out of touch
i'll be thinking bout if our call was too much
[?i'll mend it] silently i'll crawl to ur gun
you lied to me but its my fault that i fell for it, i folded up

now every night
i do nothing but lie on my floor
just sitting and waiting (for, for, for, for)
can she give me a sign
when she looks in my eyes 
she'll trade her face for a dime
just cant replace being high

and if we fall out of touch
i'll be thinking bout if our call was too much
[?i'll mend it] silently i'll crawl to ur gun
you lied to me but its my fault that i fell for it, i folded up

crawl to your gun

prod me

are you too far gone
is every mark off
look to the stars, counting every one
it's hard to dream you're not in charge of who you become

and what does she think when no one's there
and how does she breathe with no more air

you can't recover fast on your own
send you back home
another week, you're back on the road
till u have nothing left
cause u were sad all alone
you took a fast on your oath
you say you're hearing but you don't listen clearly
(repeat)

and if you walk off
all the words you caught, lost
they'll find another girl so that they can stop
just turning over in the wind while you sit and rot

and what does she think when no one's there
and how does she breathe with no more air

you can't recover fast on your own
send you back home
another week, you're back on the road
till u have nothing left
cause u were sad all alone
you took a fast on your oath
you say you're hearing but you don't listen clearly

and what does she think when no one's there
and how does she breathe with no more air

are you too far gone
is every mark off
look to the stars, counting every one
it's hard to dream you're not in charge of who you become

No More Air

lyrics:

[intro]
Spent my whole life deciding
On what I wanna do
So why am I feeling like this
I swear I thought I knew

[verse 1]
My eggs are in the basket
My chips spilled on the floor
I tried to bribe the dealer
But he won't give me no more
I stole some from the others
And booked it for the door
They took me down
And and spit me out
To where I was before
It was a stupid reason
To let it hold me back
I know it hurts your feelings
To hear me talk like that
Not here to make excuses
For what it is I lack
Just tired of feeling useless
Fuck, I'm so good at that

[chorus 1]
Spent my whole life deciding
On what I wanna do
So why am I feeling like this
Like I can barely move?
Try suffering in silence
The weight would bury you
Trust me I'm tryna like it
I swear I thought I knew

[verse 2]
I'm not one for power trips
But I know I'd trade it all for this
I was blind to have faith in roads I picked
Now I'm dying to see the end
And I tried to be the one you needed
I was trying to be something rare
Tell me how to make you feel like he did
God, it hurts to be so unaware
It was a miscalculation
An unfit generation
In a shit situation
With our lives all fueled by big corporations
To give means for creation
That demands innovation
Guess I had no chance from the start
Got stabbed through the heart
They ripped me apart
By spending my youth telling me I was smart
Dissuading my art
In favor of charts and graphs
And corporate plaques
No regard

[bridge]
I do not follow the path
Watch me say no to the cash
You give it and I'll give it back
Can't beat me in soul that you lack, yeah
This shit is a lot to unpack
The odds will forever be stacked
Don't tell me the code can't be cracked
'Cause this shit is all that I have

I do not follow the path (and I tried to be the one you needed)
Watch me say no to the cash
You give it and I'll give it back (I was trying to be something rare)
Can't beat me in soul that you lack, yeah
This shit is a lot to unpack (tell me how to make you feel like he did)
The odds will forever be stacked
Don't tell me the code can't be cracked (God, it hurts to be so unaware)
'Cause this shit is all that I have

I do not follow the path (and I tried to be the one you needed)
Watch me say no to the cash (spent my whole life deciding)
You give it and I'll give it back (I was trying to be something rare)
Can't beat me in soul that you lack, yeah (on what I wanna do)
This shit is a lot to unpack (tell me how to make you feel like he did)
The odds will forever be stacked (so why am I feeling like this?)
Don't tell me the code can't be cracked (God, it hurts to be so unaware)
'Cause this shit is all that I have (like I can barely move)

I do not follow the path (and I tried to be the one you needed)
Watch me say no to the cash (try suffering in silence)

Can't beat me in soul that you lack, yeah (the weight would bury you)
This shit is a lot to unpack (tell me how to make you feel like he did)
The odds will forever be stacked (trust me I'm trying to like it)
Don't tell me the code can't be cracked (God, it hurts to be so unaware)
'Cause this shit is all that I have (I swear I thought I knew)

[chorus 2]
Spent my whole life deciding
On what I wanna do
So why am I feeling like this
Like I can barely move?
Try suffering in silence
The weight would bury you
Trust me I'm tryna like it
I swear I thought I knew

purpose

i tried to bury you, but you're a seed
i thought i'd sever you
but you're knotweed
growing under attractions
growing under the showground
growing under compression
spinning my head right the way around

im not tryna be dramatic?! im turning into static
im betting on a horse im not aware is made of plastic
bad habits cause myopia
im betting on a horse im not aware is made of plastic

get a fix and then get off the carousel
swearing up n down im not an addict
when im turning into static
i was blaming someone else
when i built my house right out of matchsticks

im not trying to be dramatic, im turning into static
im betting on a horse im not aware is made of plastic
and i swear im not an addict as im turning into static
im betting on a horse and im aware its made of plastic
bad habits cause myopia
its lalalalaloveless

im betting on a horse im well aware is made of plastic

betting on carousel horses [prod. yungspoiler + scro]

I've got a throne that I can't take
I wear the crown until I wake
And I'ma tell you straight I'm a
Hopeless
Hot mess
Dead end
De facto defect
Can you live your dream when you overslept?

Remind me now, remind me how it feels
And start my heart again just like electric eels
I tried to print my death certificate
The cartridge jammed and the memory's all gone
So remind me how, remind me how
Remind me how to heal

I've got a throne that I can't take

And I said goodbye to my papa through a facetime screen
One year down I'm still buffering
Are you there, are you there
Are you listening?

So remind me now, remind me how it feels
And start my heart again just like electric eels
They tried to print my death certificate
The cartridge jammed and the memory's all gone
So remind me how, remind me how
Remind me how to heal

There's still a spark
Remind me how it feels
And start my heart again just like electric eels
Another shot right through my veins again
They cut the mains and the memory's all gone
So remind me how, remind me how
Remind me how I'm alive

electric eel [prod. yungspoiler]

hands w/ viridity

[Verse 1]
Two star, moonlight
Laughing, blurred time
Astral, high tide
Is this all i ever wanted, shit?

Lilac treetops
Floodlights, dream cops
Lucid take off
When you wake up in the morning

[Chorus]
Swear you'll think of me
Promise me you won't forget
I'll be waiting patiently
To pick up where we left
When you want me

[Bridge]
Felt it for a moment
I was floating, had me so high
Now I'm sinking back into my own skin
How can I win when I'm falling?
But you're not around, you're not around
And I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out

Felt it for a moment
I was floating, had me so high
Now I'm sinking back into my own skin
How can I win? when I'm falling
But you're not around?
You don't want me now...
And I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out
I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out
You don't want me...

[Chorus Breakdown]
Swear you'll think of me
Promise me you won't forget
I'll be waiting patiently
To pick up where we...

[Outro]
I could swear I won't be waiting
But you know that's not true
How could I move on?
When I'd drop anything for you?

I could swear I won't be waiting
But you know that's not true
How could I move on?
When I'd drop anything for you?

Could swear I won't be waiting
But you know that's not true
How could I move on?
When I'd drop anything for you?
