NotePad Demo Version of - The Imperfections of Life

An unfiltered journey through the eyes of our main character, The Boy, exploring all the imperfections from his view of life. We join him through the magnificent and the arduous, only to become haunted by his harrowing howls of agony, forcing us to confront everything it truly means to be human.

Across a 17-track spectacular, we open the door to the cesspit that is modern life: rage, loss, reflection, and a healthy dose of distrust — all glued together with the minute remnants of the stubborn hope that led him down his chosen paths.

Strings buzz, voices strain, emotions spill. The Imperfections of Life isn’t about escape; it’s about confrontation.

This is for desire she said
as she lay waiting for you in her bed
she just wants to feel the edges of herself
be reminded the weight of you felt like no one else

And it's not love we lost 
we just forget to nurture its cause
and I've been waiting on you 
to make us feel brand new 

She said this is for the words I forget to say
I love you most of the minutes of most of my days
but sometimes we step out of line 
I miss the beat of your pulse by mine 

And it's not love we lost 
we just forget to nurture its cause
and I've been waiting on you 
to make us feel brand new 

Please don't wait till we're strangers in our bed
till your loving someone else instead 


And it's not love we lost 
we just forget to nurture its cause
and I've been waiting on you 
to make us feel brand new
