Nobody knows what the future holds
But we love to ask the question
Turn the cards and look for something
There’s a sign in the sky from the day we arrived
There’s pattern in the movements
There’s meaning in the chaos
There’re signals all around us
It’s just too dark to see em
We’re staring into shadows
Conjuring up reasons

But when all our fate is known
There’s nothing but the good times
Nothing but the good times

When all our fate is known
There’s nothing but the good times
Nothing but the good times

I get down myself for not believing 
It’s just easier to think we’re never leaving
Life is a heart that keeps on beating
But each one comes with an ending
Expiration pending
And I hope that I’ll be ready
But time is cruel and petty
And love leaves me unsteady
It’s beautiful but deadly

And when all our fate is known
There’s nothing but the good times
Nothing but the good times

When all our fate is known
There’s nothing but the good times
Nothing but the good times

I know its not easy to say now
Not easy to say now 
Not easy to say now

When all our fate is known
There’s nothing but the good times
Nothing but the good times

When all our fate is known
There’s nothing but the good times
Nothing but the good times

Nothing But the Good Times

“I want to be you / but I never want to say the truth to you” — it captures that mix of vulnerability and emotional detachment that defines late-night overthinking.

Lyrics -

Don't wanna break it, don't wanna start it over again, we really wouldn't get far
We started over, we both know how it goes in the end, I'm dying when you say so
Don't wanna break it, don't wanna break it, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't wanna break it, don't wanna start it over again, we really wouldn't get far

Now I'm in a party, bout two months ago I'd be in your arms
Lil baby's scared of the dark, and now she's all alone
Hold on let me count these caps, you've had a point and a half
It's really hard not to laugh, but in the morning you'll be yelling and screaming and punching the walls

I'm trying to hold you, and help you, you break in the door
I gave you everything you asked, and you still left me on the doorstep
Should of listened when he said that you were dumb and you were worthless

Don't wanna break it, don't wanna start it over again, we really wouldn't get far
We started over, we both know how it goes in the end, I'm dying when you say so
Don't wanna break it, don't wanna break it, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't wanna break it, don't wanna start it over again, we really wouldn't get far

Don't talk to my face like that, you're kind of dead to me
Don't call my phone again, you're not ahead of me
I miss the old you, you hate her don't you
I wish you'd stuck to your head when you're supposed to

Talk to me straight, no riddle
Feel small like Stuart Little
Feel shit like Todoroki, you don't e really know me
You never really liked me, I just seemed enticing
I ain't tryna fuck with someone that I don't even know
We touching on the dance floor, hold up wait a minute
She pull me in we holding hands, this time I really feel it
I ain't feel love for a while, so what do I know
But all I'm saying is a see you when my eyes closed

Don't wanna break it, don't wanna start it over again, we really wouldn't get far
We started over, we both know how it goes in the end, I'm dying when you say so
Don't wanna break it, don't wanna break it, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't wanna break it, don't wanna start it over again, we really wouldn't get far

We really wouldn't, We really wouldn't
We really wouldn't get far
We really wouldn't, We really wouldn't
We really wouldn't get far

She said, I need a man, I wanna claw out his eyes
He'll do whatever I want, well at least for a while
You should buy him a drink for every line that you cross
So baby spin your web, my little spider of lies
She said, I want a car, but baby can't even drive
She want the wind in her hair, without the sun in her eyes

Started Over

Grafenberg’s debut full-length No Saints, No Proof is a hallucinatory collision of Anatolian psychedelia, dark electronic ritual, and surf-noir energy.
Ten tracks unravel like a midnight drive through shifting mirages: fuzz-saturated strings, trembling synths, hypnotic motorik drums, and a deep female voice bending between whispers and fire.

It is an album about memory and resistance — how glitches, ghosts, and fractured signals can become sacred. Ritual mantras (“Order Eats the Sun”, “Loom of Wires”) sit alongside spectral ballads (“Tape Ghost Mirage”, “VHS Desert Prayer”) and driving nocturnal anthems (“Motor Moon Communion”).

The sound is tactile, imperfect, and alive: warm compression, tape-delay halos, lo-fi grain.
For listeners of Gaye Su Akyol, Altın Gün, Tame Impala, and anyone seeking a darker, cinematic edge to psychedelic electronic music.

Order Eats the Sun

Shadow Queen

don’t call me when you’re lonely

MY HEART IS SUPER FUCKED

I'm all about your shade tonight
i like ur tattoss
its excites me to the point of trembling

Mascara smears when you cries — but you laughs like you knew that would happen
I just like looking at your, even if you is silent and looks away
(that's you)
I like being your accessory, something you can use, throw away, put on again - I don't mind
I adore those black eyes, not because they are dark,
but because pain dissolves so beautifully in them

I'm all about your shade tonight
i like ur tattoss shade tonight
its excites me to the point of trembling

When your voice shatters in whispers,
I want to hold every broken piece in my chest,
let it cut me open, let it bleed out slow,
so you can see how devotion looks when it finally hurts enough.
Your lipstick tastes like rust,
but it burns sweeter than sugar when it cuts across my mouth.
(bleed into me, breathe into me)
I wanna your nails, I wanna your scars
I wanna the bruise where love pretends to hurt
i wanna ur eyes like collapsing stars
i wanna ur all cuz this only be mine

I'm all about your shade tonight
i like ur tattoss shade tonight
its excites me to the point of trembling
hu-uh

(When I Hear That) White Noise

Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”  - Luke 21:1-4 (ESV)

LYRICS

VERSE
She slipped through the crowd with a trembling hand,
Dust on her robe, no gold on her band.
They came with their silver, their voices loud,
But she bowed her head and slipped through the crowd.

Two small coins in a world of stone,
All she had, yet she called it her own.
And Heaven leaned close when it touched the plate,
The sound of faith that the rich can’t imitate.

PRE-CHORUS
No one saw her eyes, but You did, Lord,
You heard the whisper they all ignored.

CHORUS
All I have, it’s all for You,
It’s not the weight, it’s what it cost me to do.
The world may not see what I’m giving away,
But You measure the heart, not the coin I pay.
All I have—
Is all for You.

VERSE
The temple shined with marble and gold,
But truth lives quiet, not bought or sold.
Her offering small, but the Kingdom heard,
The echo of love in her single word.

PRE-CHORUS
She gave her lack like a royal crown,
And You lifted her story, written down.

CHORUS
All I have, it’s all for You,
It’s not the weight, it’s what it cost me to do.
The world may not see what I’m giving away,
But You measure the heart, not the coin I pay.
All I have—
Is all for You.

BRIDGE
Maybe faith is quiet, maybe hope is small,
Maybe love is found when we’ve lost it all.
You never asked for riches or fame,
Just a heart that trusts Your name.

CHORUS – FINAL
All I have, it’s all for You,
These broken hands, they’re Yours to use.
You saw the widow, You see me too,
The worth of my heart is enough for You.
All I have—
Is all for You.

OUTRO
You measure the heart, not the coin I pay…
All I have is Yours today.

All I Have
