are you better off now?
are you better off than last year?
are you better off now?
so can i let you go away from here

sick and troubled fragile minds
are want to produce shattered lives

cut the cord
cut the lie
it's not your fault
the blame is mine

each new venture takes us further
once intwined, now we wander
in the arms of another
embracing a ghost beath the covers
so strange
but okay

Better Off

looking over
over yonder
can my gaze pierce the wall
or are these dreams too small

the stars seem less beautiful
as i approach the plentiful
relatives and ancestors
of supernovas that once occurred

this ain't so special after all

Gagarin

im 25
with no laurels to my name
stayin' inside's
the hardest game

no employment
no education
no training
yes hesitation!
i've squandered it all
i took the devil's call

seeing ghosts
on my bed at night
they moan my name
but i'm afraid of the light

no employment
no education
no training
yes hesitation!
i've squandered it all
i took the devil's call

burn my youth
with all my sins
the past has died
the child is killed
i'm 25.

Neat!

im tired of all the nights
spent laying in bed and wondering if you're all right
all on your own
in the deluge

wasting away my youth
as i look back i wonder what's the use
they're all gone
yet i'm still here 

i will never tire of you
just stay in my head where i can adore you
together forever, if it's what suits you
the fiction dictates the version of you

you

talking myself to sleep
these days i wonder if it's good for me
to pretend
to reminisce

Fiction

i made my choice
when i made plans
with another girl
girl...

i spent my time
on other things
i knew i couldn't help
but renege

the window's shut
and i still knock
hoping you would pass me by
even in your mind

i can't presume to mean a thing
we didn't even share a thing
except one moment

nothing means everything
nothing means anything
tonight is the first night
of the rest of my life
nothing means everything
nothing means anything
tonight is the first night
of the rest of my life

Renege

i wish  i could
keep my hands to myself
but it keeps getting harder
so i can't trust myself

if shit goes one way
won't sleep 'till sunday
i'll keep it in my head
till i wanna explode
just staring at your picture
it's a classic, a fixture
a blockbuster piece
of my personal cinema

I JUST WANT IT ALL

thinking of you
as i drift to sleep
enjoying our torrid memory
i know your shape
your skin on my teeth and
that's all you are to me

i wish i could
go back to
that rainy night
from my screen
this liason
jacked itself to life

all you are to me

i'm alright. (feat. Jonny Sé, Babebee)

i used to wanna see you all the time
but now a life without you's something i wouldn't mind
time has plugged the hole in my heart
i couldn't care less, don't even let me start

yet i'd risked it all once just to see you
put my dignity at stake to be near you
i should've seen it coming
i should've read the signs
never really there
never really mine

i used to dream about you in the day
in my passenger seat, the wind on my face
i grew tired of that constant empty seat
if that never changed, it had to be me

you broke my heart like a habit
if it wasn't me it'd probably be tragic
but if i don't care
then no one will
let's just move on
and swallow the pill
 
you fooled me thrice
with your illusions
but now i know
what really happened
been scorned thrice
by my delusions
but now i know
what really happened

just let me go

let me go

can't wait for tomorrow to come
just countin' down for the sun to
sink into the horizon
as night comes, i'm firin'

can't later come sooner?
today's so lame it doesn't matter
whatever comes around
won't be on my mind
that's the future me's problem
and to him tomorrow'll be unkind

suddenly

tell him
time ain't on his side
tell him
the future ain't so bright

where to go
steal my heart, steal my soul

today

was it me you fell for
or was it just a thought that crossed your mind
I just so happened to be seated
next to you at the perfect time

you wanted a kiss, I wanted an ear
I got mine, you got a beer
if it was me you fell for
it couldn't have been at a worse time

when you touched my
broken heart and bled
I knew I'd lost a friend
I wish I knew this then
it wouldn't have been the end

all we ever spoke of
were the people who'd once left us behind
so here we remained
together alone, in time

you wanted me, I wanted her
so you looked elsewhere to sate your thirst
was it me you fell for?
it's nothing but a thought, this time

november '18

the morning is cold without you
i made some coffee for you
i hope it warms your guts
like how you've warmed my heart

you're better than you think
so put on something pink
and let me guide the way to something better

you're senseless and you're free
so keep me up to speed
once you've left my arms for someone better

i'm in love with her and nothing's gonna change my mind
try all you can, nothing's gonna cross the line
i'm in love with her but i can't be the only one

i'm lined up at your gate
i'm tired and i can't wait
to see you open your door
into the world that you've adorned

with your pretty face
your perma-judging gaze
the way look at me while i'm talking

let's get this over with
let's make it really quick
i really really need to tell you something

I Can't Be The Only One

after you
i'll follow whatever path you'll choose
all for you
i don't care i don't care i don't care i don't care

i might not be the man you need
but i'll adjust your smile i'll keep
it's weird but it feels right
i'll keep this going with all my might

after you
i'll follow your vague ass trail of clues
i'll find you
yesterday or a time after many moons

After U

say nothing
nothing changes
in a year you'll be gone
the wind will take you
far from here
but i'll be in the same spot

new wonders
new faces
every week so you'll forget
the intersections
of our days
we're getting older there's not much left
to see
to do

but it's too late
for anything
the window's shut, so has the feeling
and i'm still meandering
between the moments it could have been
you come and go as you please
i can't blame you i'm not what you need
i'm just a passing novelty
to you i'm nothing
but a boy

time's up to make a move
you had your chance
now there's nothing that you can do

i reach out just to see
if you'll ever look my way
i call out just to watch you
turn your head and walk away

everywhere a reminder
of my life's single biggest blunder

i reach out just to see
if you'll ever look my way
i call out just to watch you
turn your head and walk away

walk away

Walk Away

dream
it's all you have

i wish i had a word or two for you
but it's nothing you would care about
we can argue about the shade of blue to use
(for the carpet)
i wish i had a gun in my mouth

message indicates
the color blue
sparks a neural response
that soothes your mood

straddling the line between
childhood whimsy and reality
is life just a matter of chasing green
what does it all really fucking mean

there's so many stupid things that i would like to do
the world's on fire and i'm just sat watching the news
i'll take my coffee black if that's alright with you
a little bitterness to complement the view

Teal

looking upon the stars
for a brighter day when the sun comes
i keep a picture in my heart
of who i could be if i worked hard
i just wanna make you smile
but my condition won't allow
me to be at my best
i'll just put your patience to the test

is there anybody out there?
is there anybody out there for me?
is there anything out there?
is there anything out there to see?

every single day i wonder
if i should get up or go under
but everything points to an answer
that i can't get myself to go after

Everstone

pixels arranged
an abstraction of your face
i'm eating up the lies
i'm blind i want more
baby how'd you do this
how'd you wander all these years
how'd i ever find you
i need to hold you near

touch me
one spark
i'm on fire
keep me warm
touch me
one spark
my desire
only yours

counting the days
until we rendezvous
broad daylight
without no motives too
conversation
clever banter
completely sober
light as a feather

gotta make the most
gotta be engrossed
in these pointless conversations
gotta tell me all about the days
when you were tumblr famous
don't give me that bullshit just to impress
i'm lifting your mask but it's so fucking heavy

i wanted this why can't i be happy

Touch

Just one look
A twinkle in her eye
I disappear in the palace of my mind
It goes on forever
Beyond the threads of time

Just one glance
My heart begins to dance
I can't leave it all to chance
Underneath
These phosphorescent lights
Now I know just what I want from life

A house on the hills
Filled with music
Filled with laughter
Sweet dreams
Good mornings
I'll pass it on, pass it on, pass it on

Baby don't let the years fly by
Now I've gotten used to life without you
By my side

Just one night
It all burned down
Paper castles and paper crowns
I believed
You'd go along with me
Ride into summer in your perfect company

I told myself this didn't really matter
But two years on my heart is still in tatters

Paper Castles

Time flies
Faster than love dies
Pleasure is fleeting, meaning
I can't give you anything

Why'd you have to go
Straight into my arms
I never got to know
Past your silly charms
All these years I tried
To smile cause you were mine
I believed it
You did too

So no, I'm not
Your whole world, your everything
Oh no, I can't
I hope you'll try to understand
Oh no, not again
I've let the past back in my head
It's the same old story

With you I feel sick and lonely
While you're so happy
Can't help feel shitty
That you love me like you do

Why'd you have to go
Straight into my arms
I never got to know
The insides of your heart
All these years I tried
To smile cause you were mine
Could barely manage a smirk

I'll never love you
I'll never love you

Straight Into My Arms

#SCFIRST !!

this doesn't make sense anymore
this iteration is a bore
while they're all dancing i know
it's not the same
while they're all prancing about
i'll speak your name

they say the good times never last
it's pain to fixate on the past
while they're all dancing i know
that once was me
their careless laughter's enough
to set me free

in a hallowed breath
in a cold sweat
thinking of death
it comes, it's looming over
when the light strobes
young grow old
it reaches out its crooked finger
baby don't go
my life is yours
baby be safe
i can't remain

The Dark Hour

you, you make me weak
for you anything
i've travelled all around the world
i've seen my share of pretty girls
but now i wake up from the dream

swept, swept off my feet
from a face on my screen
my heart knows where it wants to go
there's butterflies to and fro
please be where i want you to be

call me
tell me all about your day
tell me
if i still need to pray

if we were together we'd rewrite forever
this song our communion our make on the either
say goodbye to lonely days

finally i’m waking up
from my memory i have constructed
inside of my head
it’s time to move on
it’s time to go
where we wanna go,

so let’s travel the world,
i wanna be your only girl,
i’m all yours please give me a tour of your mind,
everything will be alright when you call me

if we were together

If (feat. Babebee)

does it make a fool
to speak from the heart?

is it right to spend so much time
chasing
people we don't know
wherever we may go

is it right to plan so far ahead
projecting
the things we want
on others

is it right to chase my dreams
even if it means leaving home
facing the unknown

figured it out all tonight
i'll pack my bags, take flight
say goodbye to my world tomorrow
say hello to all that follows

Foolish

know you know i know you know

we've long passed the window
where we could go
to the land where anything is possible

just try just fight just bleed
you can't change anything
just try just fight just see
you can't go back

the glass has shattered
now i can't dream
tomorrow's ghost lurks behind the empty screen

gotta find a way
i can't go back
try again try again
continue

Shatter

streetlights—driving fast
i didn't ask you to take me home
fingertips brush the wind
make it last
baby this is our last chance

just one more night in the city
why don’t you dance with me?
forget me when you wake in the morning
let the night just fade away

fade away!

clouds passing by
count the stars
in the sky, moving slow
stargaze into your eyes
until
the city wakes, puts on its face

just one more night in the city
why don’t you dance with me?
forget me when you wake in the morning
let the night just fade away

it’s our last night in the city
why don’t you dance with me babe
forget about the world for a minute
let our worries just fade away

fade away!

Fade AWAY! (feat. Babebee, Jamie_)

i have a feeling
my life exists within a dream
it's a strange horrror
to see these faces around me

how are this many people who don't
seem to know pain
as i cross these festive lands i search for
a fire to my name

she's no good
she smiles too much
her problems are inane

i'm a crook
intolerable
and i can barely sing

am i not a real person
who are the real people

temptation runs around
in my head
as i chase my desire i turn
closer to the dead

immaterial
inferior

i have failed
arrest my soul
i deserve no choices

Sub 2

You still spin my heart
I'm lost in your nothings
Stuck in the fables
I've told myself
I still dream of
The day you'll find your way
Back to me

My dreams hit different
You're always the star
I lose my vision, soliton radar
But I still see in the corner of my eye
Something real

Time's undefeated
Stolen from my fingers
Snatched away
Burnt to cinders
Memories
Thoughts

Why did it have to be you?
Why was this the price?

Regardless
Thank you

Thank You

special thanks to @jme_123 for the lovely synths!!!

you crept up
onto me
i was fresh
i still believed

that i wasn't much at all
but now you see me
now you follow and i lead
but do you see me
if i'm hurtin'

roamin' the halls
the library
we get to your car
and now you see
that i'm not as tough as he
i dangle freely
between your fingers and your teeth
it's so easy
for me to twist the truth i see

i refuse to trust my gut
arm's length is enough
my cold heart realized
i'd rather believe my darker side
i won't ever be enough
i won't take a lover's bluff

Bluff

art by epic winner @nycomusic

wish you never kissed me
now i can't wash the taste of your lips
off my stupid mouth
with which i told you this

i think i love you
i saw forever when we kissed
in that moment
i thought it was infinite

the sun has set
all that's left is a photo
your smile fading
the sunlight burning new holes

baby don't leave there's still tomorrow
i didn't sign up to ride solo

baby don't leave
