black dust in orbit cascades down like a parachute
bricks on my shoulders, this gravity hurts when you know the truth

I’m pulling my weight in gold
call me anxious, call me broke
but I can’t lift this on my own
pulling my weight in gold
call me anxious, call me broke
but I can’t lift this on my own

we dreamt like martyrs—
I never thought I was bold enough.
you pushed me further
and I take the blame for the both of us

I’m pulling my weight in gold
call me anxious, call me broke
but I can’t lift this on my own
pulling my weight in gold
call me anxious, call me broke
but I can’t lift this on my own

Oh, Universe— hold me up
you tried your best, is it ever enough when it’s already dragging me down?

Ology

Weight in Gold

new heat 🖤

[INTRO]
“Yeah… another long night…
Tryna find peace in the chaos…
I just need somethin’ to make it stop…”

[VERSE 1]
My brain on fire, can’t cool it down,
Trapped in desire, can’t fool it now.
Thoughts comin’ fast, can’t slow ‘em down,
Tryna swim but I’m scared I’ma drown.
Scars on my skin, memories ache,
Every breath that I take, another heartbreak.
Body feel heavy, mind feel fried,
I fight back hard but it’s all inside.
Yeah, I pop a little somethin’ just to fade the pain,
But it always come back, never feel the same.
Resilient on the surface, fragile inside,
A wound on repeat, it’ll never subside.

“never fades… can’t hide… yeah”

[HOOK]
I need a painkiller, somethin’ realer,
Somethin’ that can heal me, not conceal the feelin’.
Tell me what’s the deal, I’m lost in the ceiling,
Driftin’ off slow, can’t tell what’s the meaning.
I need a painkiller, somethin’ that lasts,
Not a quick fix or a temporary mask.
I don’t know what’s real anymore,
Tell me somethin’ ‘bout this painkiller…

[VERSE 2]
Tryna counteract the madness, no success,
Scars on my heart, yeah, they manifest.
Every loss, every stress, every sleepless night,
I’m just lookin’ for a spark in the lack of light.
Morphine dreams, codeine tears,
Drownin’ out the noise just to kill the fears.
But it’s growin’, restless, in my chest,
No rest, can’t breathe, just pain and regrets.
I’m numb but awake, addicted to escape,
Every hit a prayer, every prayer too late.
So tell me, doc, can you hear me now?
Before I fade too deep, before I break this vow.

[HOOK]
I need a painkiller, somethin’ realer,
Somethin’ that can heal me, not conceal the feelin’.
Tell me what’s the deal, I’m lost in the ceiling,
Driftin’ off slow, can’t tell what’s the meaning.
I need a painkiller, somethin’ that lasts,
Not a quick fix or a temporary mask.
I don’t know what’s real anymore,
Tell me somethin’ ‘bout this painkiller…

“yeah… painkiller… take me away…”

[BRIDGE]
(Yeah…)
Do you hear me when I call your name?
Do you see me slippin’ through this pain?
Every dose, just a ghost in my veins,
But I keep comin’ back again, again…

[OUTRO]
I’m lookin’ for the medicine,
Just a little bit of peace within…
If I fade away, will I feel again?
Painkiller, take me home again…

Laying here wrapped in white just trying to not fight again
Cause I’ve been holding on too long just to let it end
Ohh I must be walking on eggshells
Trying not to sell myself out
I bet that’s what she’s thinking
That’s when she said
That’s when she said

Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad? 
Yeah she said, baby do ya?
Or are you just comfortable?

Trying my best to show appreciation
But all apologies are just a miscommunication
Now it’s like i’m walking on eggshells
Trying not to burn the hell out
It’s like pulling magic from my mouth

Could I ever do enough to make this coffee more than bitter water?
Could I ever do enough to make you wear this love not like a collar?
Could I ever do enough to make you feel the way you want to feel?
So the next time that you’re sad, tell me that…

Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad? 
Oh yeah, baby do ya?
Or are you just comfortable?

Lyrics: 
There was a time that
I still felt love now I 
Don't know you, but I got a 
Trail of thoughts
That keep us connected and blue

Now I'm at the elevation from a 
Different view looking at the 
Haze we once were 
I'm diving back into you 

I've been
Diving, diving, diving 
I've been
Silent, ooo, diving back into you 

I took off and 
Touched the window like I 
Touched the sky
Don't you think we've both gone higher 
I hope you got some peace of mind 

No one says your 
Name in circles that I keep
But it's the same three blocks 
And the same two streets

I've been
Diving, diving, diving 
I've been
Silent, ooo, diving back into you 

I felt love 
Into your heart
Every last drop 
Filling up empty spaces

I felt love
Looking up lost 
Wondering how we got here baby

I felt love 
Connecting these dots 
All of my thoughts 
Follow our constellations 

I felt love
Wherever you are 
You know I've been diving into you

I've been
Diving, diving, diving 
I've been
Silent, ooo, diving back into you

Lyrics:
 
Blue skies no shade
Red flags don’t fade
But you stick around
 
Read news
Life’s short
Eight ball
Poor sport
 
But you’re not alone
No you’re not alone
No you’re not all alone
 
Wanted me to show you
An honest place
But you ain’t really talking much
 
Money never mattered
You out of space
The tables never turning us
 
Call me when you knew
It was obvious
But you ain’t really hear the tone
So who you frontin on
 
Swim home
Without a phone
Then say you love me
Kamikaze
 
Swim home
On your own
Say you trust me
Kamikaze
 
You wanted me to show you
My honest face
Smile when you know enough
 
Never had a reason
But just in case
Think of me 
When you in love
 
Choosing every reason
To watch these lows
Think you really need a cause
Knowing what you lost
 
Swim home
Without a phone
Then say you love me
Kamikaze
 
Swim home
On your own
Say you trust me
Kamikaze
 
But you’re not alone
No you’re not alone
No you’re not all alone
 
Blue skies no shade
White flags don’t fade
But you stick around
 
Read news
Life’s short
Eight ball
Poor sport
 
But you’re not alone
