Stand With Me

show me how
show me when
you haunt me

show yourself
show us where
you haunt me

i can take
one small break
to please you

i can talk
for the two
of us

one small reason

one small reason to leave you now
one small reason to leave you now

take it to
someone royal
or free

take me to
someone loyal
i dont believe

one small reason to leave you now
one small reason to believe you now
one small reason to come back to

and i cant imagine anything different
not you
and i cant imagine anything different from you
i cant imagine anyone different from you
i cant imagine anyone different but you

one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now

What's One More Reason To Leave?

If You Knew

Out Of Sight

I Can't Help Myself (0420)

Listen to the music

"Lonely Age"

Drifting through life, full of vacant replies
Wandering lost, like a motherless child
Not a word to say, in this lonely age
Wanna look away, go back to sleep
Accept defeat, flee in retreat, disguised

Once I could say, I was willing to try
Seeking the source, for a meaningful life
Now I pretend, just to claim I belong
Safely in step, with the vacuous throngs

Heaven knows I’d never make it
So pathetic that I ever tried to fake it
Graduate of voluntary mind-enslavement
Flew the coop and joined the troops,
A simple sleuth
Reporting from the lonely age now

Not a word to say, in this lonely age
Try to look away and, go back to sleep
Admit defeat, flee in retreat, disguised

Caught in a lie, that I’d gladly concede
Choosing a side, isn’t easy for me

Cause heaven knows I’d never make it
So pathetic that I ever tried to fake it
Graduate of voluntary mind-enslavement
Threw the coup, negotiated truth’s abatement

(Patrick Bateman)

And heaven knows we’d never make it
So pathetic that we ever tried to fake it
Graduates of voluntary mind-enslavement
Flew the coop, and joined the troops
Still put to use, consulting for the lonely age now

Floating Thoughts ☁️💭

A dreamy slowcore journey through love’s quietest moments. Drenched in reverb, soft guitars, and hushed vocals, this album floats between half-remembered memories and achingly tender confessions.

✨ For lovers of:

Slowdive’s oceanic haze

Galaxie 500’s drowsy romance

Beach House’s velvet melancholy

Tracklist vibes:
🌙 "Polaroid Heart" – Fading love, stuck in golden-hour light
🌫️ "Sleepwalk to You" – Drifting through midnight streets to your door
🌀 "Velvet Silence" – Words unspoken, but felt in fingertips
☕ "Half-Empty Lullabies" – Morning coffee with the ghost of us

Best enjoyed:
