lyrics:

came by I was feeling low
Thought I saw your name, it was 
Written on the pavement, 
got high, I was breathing slow
I can’t hear a word you’re saying

Now I’m still fucked up in the morning 
You didn’t say goodbye, 
and You left without a warning  
Tough luck but I’m learning

I can’t help myself when I’m alone..

tell me it’s not true
All I know is you, you...

time goes by 
And I’m reminded

Don’t want someone new 
Still hung up on you, you...

SHIKI XO:

tell me why i’m always living in the past
2020 vision so i can’t look back
baby tell me why u look so sad?
so sad, so sad
time goes by and i’m reminded
stuck on you and i can’t hide it
hide my face, these bad disguises
grit my teeth i can’t stop lying 
i’m on the same drugs that killed my idols
i can’t move on i’m in denial
all this blood and i still smile
i got everything i wanted when my love died yeah 
the sun comes up and i’m reminded
i still can’t sleep, you’re in my eyelids 
i heard the kingdom of heaven is within me
but i can’t find it
i’m hung up on u that’s fine i’m alright 
i won’t come home tonight
u said u love me u lied
but now i’m leaving i don’t wanna see u cry
yeah
and i was so scared to be alone
but since u left
it’s like everything i touch just turns to gold...

tell me it’s not true
All I know is you, you...

time goes by 
And I’m reminded

Don’t want someone new 
Still hung up on you, you...

————————————————————————————————————————————————

I am truly proud of this project, which has been a musical and alchemical collaboration of the heart and soul with my good friend and mentor Sebastian Metzner, as well as with many other talented musicians and creatives that graciously agreed to contribute time, energy and magic for the EP.

I have nothing but love and gratitude for everybody involved, as well as for every single person that has supported me in my musical journey, for anybody that listens and enjoys, relates, finds solace in, or for whom music serves as a temporary escape. 

This song was mixed and mastered by Sebastian Metzner Rickards, and was produced by us both, all at Enlight Music, Berlin - http://enlightmusic.de/
 - My biggest debt of gratitude goes out to Sebastian. I love you!

• Lyrics:


Finding my throne,
Sitting there all alone

Down to the bone, Scream
Into the megaphone

Making it home, Won’t
Pick up the phone tonight

I made it alone
I don’t need this parasite

It got too far out of sight...

It’s not so bad,
It just hurts, it just hurts

It’s not so bad
I’ve felt worse, I’ve felt worse

It’s not so bad,
It just hurts, it just hurts

It’s not so bad
It’s just words, it’s just words

Cut from the stone,
Got anchors for collarbones

Fashioned and sewn
In gallons of acetone

Hurting my head
To write a better verse

I’m seeing in red,
A speck in the universe

It got too far out of hand...

It’s not so bad,
It just hurts, it just hurts

It’s not so bad
I’ve felt worse, I’ve felt worse

It’s not so bad,
It just hurts, it just hurts

It’s not so bad
It’s just words, it’s just words...

I think about the times when it still made sense...
How can I decide when I’m on the fence?
Every time I sing, all that shit’s past tense...
Yeah

In my pain find eloquence
Break another truce at my expense
Burn another bridge in self defense
Moving too fast, focus the lens…

It’s not so bad,
It just hurts, it just hurts

It’s not so bad
I’ve felt worse, I’ve felt worse

It’s not so bad,
It just hurts, it just hurts

It’s not so bad
It’s just words, it’s just words...

whatever you do, don’t look down
i’m so high, never felt the comedown
take some more and hang me up to dry
take that frown on your face, 
turn it all the way upside down, yea
all the way upside down 

i make no mistakes, it’s impossible 
look me in the eyes, can u tell that im a capricorn?
u got poison on ur lips i got the antidote
too faded can’t remember the alamo…

whatever you do, don’t look down
i’m so high, never felt the comedown
take some more and hang me up to dry
take that frown on your face, 
turn it all the way upside down,
rip your heart out, wear it like a crown

✰ Lyrics ✰

       Nicolas Sales:

I don’t wanna waste your time, 
I just wanna make you mine 
Every time I look inside, 
All I find is your apartment 

And I know, that my hearts got holes 
And my smile is hiding it,
So come close, 
baby one last time cause tomorrow I gotta go

So be my penicillin, 
Be my penicillin,
Sometimes all I want is to forget my feelings

Yeah you better feel it 
I know you can feel it, 
Sometimes it feels like I’m barely breathing

And you take my hand and say that you really mean it 
And I can’t help but to diminish your feelings 
When you say you’re mine it feels like I’m getting closer to believing in myself, take a look at myself, yeah 

Fantasycamp:

And I don't wanna waste your time,
I just wanna make you mine,

but I can never make my mind 
up or finish what I started,

but I know that I can't go alone
so just say that you love me I don't care if you mean it 

give me another dose 
you can kill my pain as long as i'm breathing 

and i'm up now 
i wanna stay forever, never come down 
i gotta find a way to make it somehow
just love me for awhile never run now, run now

cuz i've been waiting and i'm finally free 
i hear the gods call my name when you're climbing on me 

isolating till we're ready to leave 
but we don't need no one else now
to make us believe 

so i'll shout your name to the city streets
and we can find comfort in debauchery 
i feel alive inside when you're touching me
in your apartment where i wanna be 

so i'll shout your name to the city streets
and we can find comfort in debauchery 
i feel alive inside when you're touching me
so one last time won't you be my...



      Nico:



So be my penicillin, 

Be my penicillin,

Sometimes all I want is to forget my feelings



Yeah you better feel it 

I know you can feel it, 

Sometimes it feels like I’m barely breathing



And you take my hand and say that you really mean it 

And I can’t help but to diminish your feelings 


When you say you’re mine it feels like I’m getting closer to believing in myself, take a look at myself, yeah...

Lyrics: 

Be a friend of mine, 
I promise we’ll be intertwined, 
And you’ll feel better...

It’s such a waste of time,
Now I’ve got yours and you’ve got mine, 
We have forever...


Pessimistic tendencies
I got complex needs, no remedies...

Find the pain within yourself
You struggle with dependencies... 

Now it’s
Taking control, it’s soaking into your soul, and you don’t mind it, 
the answer’s there but you can’t find it, 

And it’s
Burning you down, 
The feeling’s buried in the ground, 
now you’ve been blinded 
identity, I’ll redesign it  

You keep,
Turning your back, you don’t know where to run, 
You ask yourself if you should buy a gun, and hide it 

Everybody’s out to get you, your luck’s run out, 
It’s about time you did without, denied it, but you can’t fight it...

✰ Lyrics:

I don’t wanna call you up tonight, 
I can’t sleep, I was having a nightmare,
I don’t wanna fight with you, so tell me that it’s all right, 
and baby I’ll be right there...

I don’t wanna call you up tonight,
I’m in the back, with the windows down, I’m
Falling apart, hearing voices call my name, 
in a ghost town, I’m all alone now...

There’s something in my head, 
Making me feel like I’ll be dead, yeah,
There’s something on my bed,
And it’s calling me...

There’s something in my head, 
The thought of you fills me with dread 
There’s someone on my bed,
And she’s calling me...

To one more time before I go,
Just one more time, I’ll take it slow,
Baby one more night’ll make it go away 
I pray, now, please stay, now...

I just made another one, make it to race,
All these kids just don’t know how to run, 
so say it to my face, yeah, 
maybe I’m the broken one, I come undone 

You might know my name, but you don’t know my pain, 

And now I’m 

Six feet deep in her regrets, 
And I got six missed calls, baby, I don’t break a sweat, 
I got six lives left, and I’m in love with the chase, yeah, 
I be breaking hearts, cause I’m in love with the pain, but...

There’s something in my head, 
The thought of you fills me with dread 
There’s someone on my bed,
And she’s calling me...

To one more time before I go,
Just one more time, I’ll take it slow,
Baby, one more night’ll make it go away 
I pray, now, please stay, now 

There’s something in my head, 
The thought of you fills me with dread 
There’s someone on my bed,
And she’s calling me...

To one more time before I go,
Just one more time, I’ll take it slow,
Baby, one more night’ll make it go away 
I pray, now, please stay, now...

lyrics:

Convince myself
everything changes, 
I bid farewell
to all our exchanges, 

I don’t feel well
Maybe it’s fading
but I can’t tell
It’s slowly degrading 

And still I try,
it’s still important, I’ll make it right
choke my disorder, it’s worth the fight
I’ve been an absorber, the pain I write
is making it harder to sleep at night 
And still I try 

I’m drowning 
Alarming
I pay the price amounting
I’m counting
I’m shouting
This wasn’t meant to happen 

I decide to pay the price,
Convince myself it’s in my mind,
survive it every single night,
I close my eyes and see the light 

Convince myself
everything changes, 
I bid farewell
to all our exchanges, 

I don’t feel well
Maybe it’s fading
but I can’t tell
It’s slowly degrading

with the microphone as my medicine, 
all this sad shit as my epithet 
in a big room with the elephant, 
is my flow still fuckin’ relevant?

..

i’ll still do it for the hell of it, 
yeah, 
newsflash I’m still gettin it,
it’s a tuesday, I’m still gettin lit,
grip that paper like a paperclip...

i might come by for a while before i dip, yeah
but If it ain’t bout a check i’ll call it quits, yeah
got too much on my mind, i’m hittin' licks,
got too much goin on to give a fuck about a bitch, yeah...

real quick, that’s a lesson, 
you take that L,
it’s a blessing, 
you won’t learn shit with that flexing,
you won’t earn shit till you messin’ up, 
bounce back, 
smoke that ounce up, 
every time you pick that pen up, 
get dark thoughts
then i get buck,
don’t give a fuck

(bounce back, 
smoke that ounce up, 
every time you pick that pen up, 
get dark thoughts,
then i...)

i can’t buy more time,
i bite my tongue and wait...
i can’t make make you mine 
until you think you hate me...

imma shine but not before you break me...
that’s what I said back then, 
won’t you call me back?

i might come by for a while before i dip, yeah
but If it ain’t bout a check i’ll call it quits, yeah
girl i got you on my mind, so i get lit, yeah
you’ll be the last thing i see before i slip...
