BEAUTIFUL PLACE by Nova J

I’m in a beautiful place
Sitting next to your beautiful face
Left the city lights far away
In the woods where the wild things play

All of this beauty surrounds me
And yet inspiration confounds me
Why do I feel so dead inside?
What will it take to bring me back to life?

How much luxury do I need?
To satisfy this endless greed?
Will I ever feel something at all?
Or did I let that ability fall?

(Feel… feel… feel…)
(Have I lost it?)
(Feel… feel… feel…)

The wind won’t answer
The sky won’t speak
I whisper to the trees
But they just creak

What will it take to make me feel something?
Will I ever feel anything at all?
Or has a darkness taken hold
That beauty can’t dissolve?

This place is beautiful
But I am not
I left something behind
Or maybe… I forgot

BEAUTIFUL PLACE

COLLIDE by Nova J

Ahmmmm

I woke up from anesthesia
Found out I was black and blue
Traced the bruises on my body
(Back to you) Back to you

I was running from the heartache
But I knew I couldn’t fake
Kept on using ‘til I’d break
The biggest dose that I could take

The pain hits like a freight train
Right when all the drugs subside
The tracks are lined with bodies
When you and I collide
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh…)
You and I collide

(Collide… collide…)
I almost died
(Collide… collide…)
But I survived

Now I’m lying in this bed by
Hooked up to a machine
My hands are shaking, I’m deleting
Every photo of you and me
(You and me…) You and me
(You and me)

Now I might be lying down
But I swear I’ll soon be free
Walking through my hometown
Without your shadow haunting me

The pain hits like a freight train
Right when all the drugs subside
The tracks are lined with bodies
When you and I collide
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh…)
You and I collide

(Collide… collide…)
I almost died
(Collide… collide…)
But I survived

DO YOU FEEL? by Nova J

(Do you feel?) (baba no kiki) (Comfortable?) (baba no kiki)
(Do you feel?) (baba no kiki) (Do you feel?) (baba no kiki)

Do you feel like you’re living your purpose?
In your country club casual attire?
Swimming laps in your Olympic sized pool
Instead of puttin’ your feet to the fire

When’s the last time you did something real—
That thing that sets your soul on fire?
Do you feel like you’re living your purpose
Or just lost in your own desire?

Look at this view
(Not the scenery)
Why do you seem so blue?
(What the hell happened to you?)

Do you feel it?
Do you feel it? (Feel it?)
Do you feel like you’re living your purpose?

(Do you feel?) (baba no kiki) (Do you feel?) (baba no kiki)
(Do you feel?) (baba no kiki)

Do you feel like you’re living your purpose?
Still clingin’ to your comfortable life
In your shiny penthouse by the park
Do you fear you’ve lost the fight?

You think you know the true meaning of life
When’s the last time you truly felt alive?
Do you feel like you’re living your purpose?
Or are you just trying to survive?

Look at this view
(Not the scenery)
Fake smiles are see-through
(What’s that thing you cling to?)

Do you feel it?
Do you feel it? 
Do you feel like you’re living your purpose?

(Do you feel?) (baba no kiki) (Do you feel?) (baba no kiki)
(Do you feel?) (baba no kiki) 

You bought time
(But it won’t last)
You played it safe
(You’re fading fast)
You chased the prize
(The price was steep)
You won the world
(But you can’t sleep)

Do you feel it?
Do you feel it?
Do you feel like you’re living your purpose?

Do you feel it?
(Do you feel?) (baba no kiki)
Do you feel it?
(Do you feel?) (baba no kiki)

DO YOU FEEL?

ROOM KEY by Nova J

I found that old room key near my credit card
Room 1603 on Hollywood Boulevard
I paid in cash, cause you froze my accounts
I hated you for that, and I hated our house 

Pounding the pavement with no place to go
High as a kite, but I’m sinkin’ down low
A long list of lovers, now I’m flying solo
My vices take over—this is how it goes

Caught in a cycle
I can’t break free
Got a bag in my pocket
And that old room key
Loneliness
Oh, Loneliness
got chains on me
(I don’t wanna die alone)

Booking hotels, but I live in this city
Scared to go home, you-know-who’s gonna hit me
Bathtubs and bubbles, might die just like Whitney
Livin’ the dream—how can life be so empty?

Caught in a cycle
I can’t break free
Got a bag in my pocket
And that old room key
Loneliness
Oh, Loneliness
got chains on me
(I don’t wanna die alone)

Sometimes I scream, but nobody can hear
Drowning my sound in the atmosphere
Smaller and smaller, my life disappears
Smoking and choking, just fueling the fear
I don’t wanna die alone

Caught in a cycle
I can’t break free
Got a bag in my pocket
And that old room key
Loneliness
Oh, Loneliness
got chains on me
(I don’t wanna die alone)

Caught in a cycle
I can’t break free
Got a bag in my pocket
And that old room key
Loneliness
Oh, Loneliness
got chains on me
I don’t wanna die alone
(I don’t wanna die alone)

ROOM KEY

Shut up, sit pretty By NOVA J

Shut up. Sit pretty.
In this pretty city.
Think about blinkin’?
Don’t. That’s a pity.

Daddy gonna cut you off.
Piggy at the trough.
Wanna eat? Wanna stay?
Then shut up. Sit pretty.

Hands folded. Smile wide.
Mouth shut. Swallow pride.
Heels high. Head low.
That’s the only way it goes.

Sit pretty. Don’t talk back.
Lipstick red, but your world fades black.
Wanna stay? Wanna play?
Learn the rules. Don’t disobey.

Sit pretty. Hush that mouth.
Take what you get—don’t dare call out.
Wanna eat? Wanna stay?
Then shut up. Sit pretty’d.

Diamonds tight around your throat.
Wrapped up pretty, velvet rope.
Let ‘em stare. Let ‘em touch.
But don’t you ever ask for much.

Daddy keeps the power on.
But it’s a loan—it won’t last long.
Play your part. Keep it tight.
Smile sweet. Say goodnight.

Hands folded. Smile wide.
Mouth shut. Swallow pride.
Heels high. Head low.
That’s the only way it goes.

Sit pretty. Don’t talk back.
Lipstick red, but your world fades black.
Wanna stay? Wanna play?
Learn the rules. Don’t disobey.

Sit pretty. Hush that mouth.
Take what you get—don’t dare call out.
Wanna eat? Wanna stay?
Then shut up. Sit pretty’d.

Cage is gold. Walls too tall.
Dressed up. Stripped down. Watch you fall.
Dance on strings. Smile through pain.
Deep inside, you curse his name.

Sit pretty. Don’t talk back.
Lipstick red, but your world fades black.
Wanna stay? Wanna play?
Learn the rules. Don’t disobey.

Sit pretty. Don’t talk back.
Lipstick red, but your world fades black.
Wanna stay? Wanna play?
Learn the rules. Don’t disobey.

Shut up, sit pretty

I’D DO IT AGAIN by Nova J

I never took the good days for granted
Grateful for our quiet, simple life
But these days I’m panicked
staring at my phone… all night

No news… worse than bad news
Confusion… worse than pain
Always…worryin’ bout you
Will I ever… see you again?

You and me
We’ve been torn apart
Now I bleed 
With a broken heart

And if it’s time
To say goodbye
You’ll always be
The love of my life…

I keep on writing
My messages unread
My mind racing
Are you alive… are you dead?

No calls. No clues. No power.
My mind is racing fast.
Each minute’s like an hour.
How long… can this last?

You and me
We’ve been torn apart
Now I bleed
With a broken heart

And if it’s time
To say goodbye
You’ll always be
The love of my life

Even through struggle
Even through pain
With you beside me…
I’d do it again
I’d do it again
Mmm…
I’d do it… again

You and me
We’ve been torn apart
Now I bleed
With a broken heart

And if it’s time
To say goodbye
You’ll always be
The love of my life…

The love of my life…
The love of my life…
The love of my life…

I’d do it again

SAFE SPACE by Nova J 

Get with the program
Sorry, but no ma’am
My life’s not broken
(My life’s not broken)

So why you tryna fix it
Throwin’ snap decisions
You seem so committed
(You seem so committed)

And now you’re tearin’ up my safe space
Doing damage I cannot erase
I don’t wanna go back
(No, don’t wanna go back)
To that dark place
But you keep tearin’ up my safe space

(this is my safe space — ahhh)
(this is my safe space — mm-mm)
(my-my-my… safe space — shhhhhh)
(this… this… this is safe — safe — safe)
(mmm this is my…)
(…safe space — safe space — safe space)

Pushing your opinion
Like it’s your dominion
I’ve got my own rhythm
(I’ve got my own rhythm)

You call it tough love
I call it just dumb
And now the time has come
(And now the time has come)

That you are tearin’ up my safe space
Doing damage I cannot erase
I don’t wanna go back
(No, don’t wanna go back)
To that dark place
But you keep tearin’ up my safe space

(this is my safe space — ahhh)
(this is my safe space — mm-mm)
(my-my-my… safe space — shhhhhh)
(this… this… this is safe — safe — safe)
(mmm this is my…)
(…safe space — safe space — safe space)

I don’t wanna go back to 2022
On my knees cryin’ — I was barely over you
I prayed my way out, with God’s good grace
Now you say get out, of my safe space

(this is my safe space — ahhh)
(this is my safe space — mm-mm)
(my-my-my… safe space — shhhhhh)
(this… this… this is safe — safe — safe)
(mmm this is my…)
(…safe space — safe space — safe space)

My life’s not broken
(So why you tryna fix it)
Pushing your opinion
(Like it’s your dominion)

And now you’re tearin’ up my safe space
Doing damage I cannot erase
I don’t wanna go back
(No, don’t wanna go back)
To that dark place
But you keep tearin’ up my safe space

SAFE SPACE

IN TOKYO by NOVA J

Taxi riding to Roppongi
I am eyeing on the crowd
Lookin’ for lover in the Red Hat
Don’t say his name too loud
They call him Precious he’s a bouncer
At the Mongolian strip club
Meet in the bathroom for a dime bag
Then stick it where you want some love

You best be careful of the police
Don’t wanna look too rough
Your best disguise is dressin’ preppy
You’ll take it all off at the club

(And when you get there)
Gonna (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance 

Because you playin’ like a hoe (hoe hoe)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
And you takin’ too much blow (blow blow)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
Sometimes you puttin’ on a show (show show)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
You gettin high and going low (low low)
In Tokyo (yo yo)

Wait for the signal close to midnight
When Nova J’eyenah lights her smoke
Order a cocktail with a wink-eye
Then laugh like you just heard a joke
Slip the baggie in your left sock
The bouncer does not check too deep
You got ten minutes in the back lot
Before the rich boys start to creep

They’re sniffin’ powder off their car keys
Callin’ you “Daddy” just for fun
But don’t you dare forget the plan, babe
We disappear before the sun.

(But right now we are)
Gonna (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) dance 

Because you playin’ like a hoe (hoe hoe)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
And you takin’ too much blow (blow blow)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
Sometimes you puttin’ on a show (show show)
In Tokyo (yo yo)
You gettin high and going low (low low)
In Tokyo (yo yo)

Oh not again
It’s 5AM
what’s his name?
Oh missed my train
I will behave
Another day (another day day day day day)

In Tokyo

MIDDLE AGE by NOVA J

[Vers 1]
Where’s the train, it’s rollin’
Oh, I missed my station 
There’s my mind, controllin’
Low on inspiration 

I’m not here to misbehave
I’ve got no more oats to sew
I’m damn near my middle age
You know how the story goes

[Pre Chorus]
And time goes fast
Time goes too fast

[Chorus]
And the world is changin’ (changin’)
Oh the world is changin’ fast
All these wars I’m waging (waging)
I don’t know if I will last

[Hook]
Until the end (until the end)
Until the end (until the end)
Until the end

[Vers 2]
Look around 
Looks like I missed the memo
Starin’ down
It’s a long hard fall below 

I’m too tired to keep on climbin’ 
But I’m too afraid to fall
I’ve worked hard for what is mine
And I’m so scared to lose it all 

[Pre Chorus]
And time goes fast
Time goes too fast

[Chorus]
And the world is changin’ (changin’)
Oh the world is changin’ fast
All these wars I’m waging (waging)
I don’t know if I will last

[Hook]
Until the end (until the end)
Until the end (until the end)
Until the end

[Bridge]
I know I somehow made it halfway
But there’s so much I don’t know
I know how scared I feel on some days
Is there any room to grow?
I don’t know (ooooh)
I just don’t know (ooooh)
I don’t know

[Outro]
I’m not here to misbehave
You know how the story goes
I’m damn near my middle age
But I’m praying I can grow
And time goes fast
Time goes too fast
And the world is changin’ (changin’)
Oh the world is changin’ fast
All these wars I’m waging (waging)
I don’t know if I will last
Until the end (until the end)
Until the end (until the end)
Until the end
Until the end (until the end)
Until the end (until the end)
Until the end
Until the end (until the end)
Until the end (until the end)
Until the end
Until the end (until the end)
Until the end (until the end)
Until the end

NORTHERN LIGHTS by Nova J

[Verse 1]
I saw the Northern Lights last night
Slicing the sky like birds in flight
The sun goes down, the shine departs
Half a year of endless dark
If you were here, I wouldn’t complain,
But I walk alone on this frozen lane.

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the cold, through the unknown,
This empty town don’t feel like home.
Your eyes were bright, steady, and true,
Now all I see is the dark without you.
(Oooooh oooooh)

[Chorus]
Just us two was all I knew
Now I’m still here, but half of me’s you
Win or lose, I can’t undo
The life we had, just me and you
(Oooooh oooooh)

[INSTRUMENTAL]
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

[Verse 2]
I’ve seen mountains split in two
But nothing broke me like losing you.
The earth can shake, the sky can fall
Saying goodbye’s the hardest blow of all
When sorrow calls, I can’t confide
I only whisper to the other side

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the fire, through the unknown
I stumble on, but I’m alone
Your hand once held me, your love the flame
Now I cry and call your name (mmm)

[Chorus]
Just us two, our time was true
But night keeps falling, I can’t break through
Win or lose, I’m bound to you
Just us two, without you

[INSTRUMENTAL]
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

[Bridge]
The colors rise where the shadows go
Green and violet, the heavens glow
I search the stars for a sign of your face
A fleeting spark in the vast of space

[Outro]
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

Through the cold, through the unknown,
This empty house don’t feel like home.
Your eyes were bright, steady, and true,
Now all I see is the dark without you.

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

Just us two, our time was true
But night keeps falling, I can’t break through
Win or lose, I’m bound to you
Just us two, without you

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

Just us two, without you

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

Just us two, without you

UNHOLY MARY by Nova J

[Spoken Intro]
I’ll give you until the count of five.
Then I do it.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1…

[Verse 1]
You cry wolf in the courthouse, you cry wolf in the pews
Every man who gets close leaves branded, accused
Unholy Mary, queen of shadows and schemes
You built your religion on your children’s screams

[Pre-Chorus]
Every story you spin gets heavier still
Like snow piling high on that house on the hill
(Unholy Mary… what happened to you?)

[Verse 2]
You lock all the windows, you deadbolt the door
Homeschool their silence, they don’t dream anymore
You search for new labels, new ways to get paid
But the mirror reflects every debt you’ve made

[Pre-Chorus]
Every promise you broke turned colder with time
Your letters to God just excuses in rhyme
(Unholy Mary… what happened to you?)

[Chorus]
Unholy Mary, where do you hide?
(Unholy Mary… where do you hide?)
Your children are shadows, they stand by your side
(Unholy Mary…)
The mirror won’t answer, it just looks right through
 (Unholy Mary… what happened to you?)
Unholy Mary, what happened to you?
(Unholy Mary… what happened to you?!)

[Bridge]
Vanity binds you, your mercy decays
Loneliness lingers, you’re lost in the maze
Your children bear burdens they never should know
You pray for redemption, but the mercy won’t show

[Outro]
Snow falling steady on your backyard gate
The candles burn out, but you’re still awake
It’s your fate. Oh Mary. It’s your fate.
Your fate. Your fate.

[Instrumental Close]

Unholy Mary

Chemicals by Nova J

[Verse 1]
We’re sitting in a circle on a basement floor
Sharing bottles, chasing something we can’t name anymore
The lawyer’s still in his tie, but he’s losing his home
Dealer’s got the power now, and he won’t let it go

[Pre-Chorus]
He looks so calm with the smoke around his head
Like he found peace, but I know his dreams are dead

[Chorus]
And he keeps talking ‘bout the chemicals
Like they’re medicine, like they’re saving him
But I can see the writing on the wall
It’s critical, it’s pitiful
The way we fall for chemicals

[Verse 2]
I took a ride on a ship too far from land
Bought my comfort in a hallway with a shaky hand
Flashing lights and bodies pressing, but I felt the sea
Rising in my bloodstream, dragging under me

[Pre-Chorus]
I woke up in a cabin, faces I don’t know
The story never changes, just the cast in the show

[Chorus]
And I keep talking ‘bout the chemicals
Like they’re medicine, like they’re healing me
But it’s a carousel I can’t get off
It’s cynical, it’s biblical
The way I pray to chemicals

[Bridge]
I watched a friend turn blue on a hotel floor
Two strangers slipped away and stepped out the door
I swore I’d never be the one to meet that fate
But here I am, still bargaining with chemicals again

[Final Chorus]
And we keep talking ‘bout the chemicals
Like they’re medicine, like they’re heaven-sent
But the spiral always feels unstoppable
It’s beautiful, it’s terrible
The way we worship chemicals

Chemicals

WASTELAND by Nova J

[VERSE 1]
I’m not quite here, I’m not quite there
I can’t stop scrolling in my underwear
I’m not talking, you’re not talking, just an empty stare
Searching for another body somewhere close to here

[PRE-CHORUS]
If I’m being honest, I knew there was no connection
But I was high, supplies ran dry, and I don’t need perfection

[CHORUS]
Is that a quake? Or do I have the shakes?
I keep taking, you keep taking, how much more can we take?
I am empty in my space, too afraid to see my face

[HOOK]
In this Wasteland, I am
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh

[VERSE 2]
The sun has risen, the sheets are red
Your body like a dead fish, lifeless on the bed
My arms resemble spider webs, this pounding in my head
I really need to sleep, but I prefer to tweak instead

[PRE-CHORUS]
But now I’ve got a problem, the fact is you’re still near
I tell a lie and say goodbye and get you out of here

[BRIDGE]
I hope that you don’t hate me, I hope you’ll understand
It’s not my row, I blame the snow, I’m not that kind of man

[CHORUS]
Is that a quake? Or do I have the shakes?
I keep taking, you keep taking, how much more can we take?
I am empty in my space, too afraid to see my face

[HOOK]
In this Wasteland, I am
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh 

[VOCAL BREAK]
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah

[VERSE 3]
Oh, I swear things will be better this way
There’s a needle hiding somewhere in this burning pile of hay
I did not find it last week or last night and not today
But I know if I keep hunting, I will find true love someday

[VERSE 4]
I refuse to settle, I refuse to compromise
I refuse to tell the truth, and now I’m lost in all the lies
My leather tongue no longer tastes my mother’s rhubarb pie
I’m hiding from the sun, and drinking blood like a vampire

[FINAL CHORUS]
Is that a quake? Or do I have the shakes?
I keep taking, you keep taking, how much more can we take?
I am empty in my space, too afraid to see my face

[OUTRO]
In this Wasteland, I am
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh
Frozen, ahhh 
Frozen, ahhh

SUPREMACY:SIMULATION by Nova J

[Part 1: "Supremacy"]

[Verse 1]
In the light of the day
In the dark of the night
When I glance your way
When I shut my eyes
When I spill the secrets of my life
When I seek the way
Under pressure
Way, way, way

[Chorus]
Some how, some way, some day
Supremacy
Come what may
Supremacy
God help us, God help us
End of days

[Verse 2]
In the thirst for intelligence
Death by dehydration
Parasites of inconvenience 
This is how it ends
In the ashes of ruin
Stop, stop, and go
In the midday microwave
Down in the dark below
In the afterglow of impending doom
In the land of the dead
Be…gone, gone, gone, gone

[Chorus]
Some how, some way, some day
Supremacy
Come what may
Supremacy
God help us, God help us
End of days

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge]
In the land of the dead
Be…Be gone, gone, gone

[Chorus]
Some how, some way, some day
Supremacy
God help us, God help us
End of days

[Verse 1 Repeat]
In the light of the day
In the dark of the night
When I glance your way
When I shut my eyes
When I spill the secrets of my life
When I seek the way
Under pressure
Way, way, way

[Chorus]
Some how, some way, some day
Supremacy
God help us, God help us
End of days

[Part 2: "Simulation"]

[Verse]
You awake and the game has ended
In a floating city in the blood red sky
Our humanity is just pretendin’
We don’t live and we don’t die
There’s a black box with billions of us all
The universe up in a cloud
Mapping humanity’s rise and fall
You’re just trying to figure it out
What did you learn from your time alive?
Did you crack the code?
Love is the only way to survive
Nothing else matters when you’re old

BREAK ME FROM THIS CAGE by Nova J

[Intro]
(Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm)
Break me from this cage
Take me out and make me feel alive
I’m too young to live this way

[Verse 1]
Put me on a plane
I want to go somewhere far away
Because I can’t survive another day
Anyway
(Anyway)
Anyway

[Build]
Break me from this cage
Because I want to be a star in space
And they all know my name

[Drop 1]
Put me on a plane
Fly me from this place
Because I don’t follow their ways
Take me half a world away

[Breakdown]
And if our airplane disappears
I have no fear
To disappear with you
Into the heavenly blue

[Drop 2]
And if a missile shoots us down
Scatters us all over town
To be blown up with you
Would be my pleasure absolute

[Chorus 2]
Break me from this cage
Release me from this maze
I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready
(I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready)

[Interlude]
And in the back of a taxi cab
I feel my time has come at last
And suddenly I’m gripped by fear
I tell the driver to turn back

[Drop 3]
Break me from this cage
Release me from this maze
I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready

[Verse 2]
Put me on a plane
I want to go somewhere far away
Because I can’t survive another day
Anyway
(Anyway)

[Bridge]
And if our airplane disappears
I have no fear
To disappear
Into the heavenly blue
(And if our airplane disappears
I have no fear
To disappear
Into the heavenly blue
With you)

[Drop 4]
And if a missile shoots us down
Scatters us all over town
To be blown up with you
Would be my pleasure absolute

[Outro]
Ohhh
Oh, I will make it happen, I will be a star
I will make it happen, I will be a star
I will make it happen, I will be a star
I will make it happen, I will be a star
I will make it happen, I will be a star
I will make it happen, I will be a star
I will make it happen, I will be a star
I will make it happen, I will be a star

IT MUST BE by Nova J

[INTRO]
The encore of Skeletor
in the mirror
with a black eye

[VERSE 1]
He flew here on a magic carpet
Like a genie in a bottle
straight from never never land
Keeping calm
As the deck chairs slide into the sea

[PRE-CHORUS]
Here are we
Bending the knee to the ice queen
as the glaciers bid goodbye
Here am I
On a magic carpet ride
from Kowloon to Causeway Bay
On my way

[HOOK]
You fly like a rocket
from space to space
from place to place
from face to face

[REFRAIN]
And the encore of Skeletor
in the mirror
with a black eye
The encore of Skeletor
in the mirror
with a black eye
The encore of Skeletor
concealing his shame

[VERSE 2]
Before there were the Appalachians
And before there was Moonlight Beach
And before I painted perfect sunsets
Now I can’t find any peace

[BRIDGE]
Oh, who, what, what, where, and why my dear?
How will you, how will I, how will we?
Have you been searching too, playing pretend?
Light a spark, and puff, and pass
Puff, puff, puff and pass, puff and pass, fly

[BUILD]
The ground is coming but not tonight
I’m pretending it must be love

[CHORUS]
It must be
the real thing
It must be
that feeling
It must be
It must be
It must be
It must be
That feeling
The headless horseman arrives

[HOOK]
I’m just one stop along the way
I yearn to see him everyday

[CHORUS]
It must be
the real thing
It must be
that feeling
It must be
The everything 
The headless horseman arrives

[HOOK]
I’m just one stop along the way
I yearn to see him everyday

[BREAKDOWN]
It must be
The real thing
It must be
That feeling
The headless horseman arrives 
It must be
It must be
That feeling 

[OUTRO]
The ground is coming but not tonight
I’m pretending it must be love
It must be 
the real thing
It must be

It must be

The ground is coming but not tonight
I’m pretending it must be love
It must be
the real thing
It must be 
that feeling
It must be

ANGELS WHO CAME BEFORE by Nova J

[Vers 1]
People come, people go
Different places, different faces 
Sometimes they shrink, sometimes they grow
Love dissolves in empty spaces

[Bridge]
All these people served a purpose
Teachers and lovers and friends
I’ve lost plenty along the way
Good, and bad, things came to an end

[Vers 2]
So many times I said those words
And thought I felt them too
But now I know, without a doubt
No one compares to you

[Chorus]
I’ll always have a place in my heart
For the angels who came before
But they flew away, and here you stay 
Everyday, I love you more 

[instrumental]

[Chorus]
I’ll always have a place in my heart
For the angels who came before
But they flew away, and here you stay 
Everyday, I love you more 

[Outro]
Everyday, I love you more

Angels who came before

Sex police, punish this boy

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I’m sweatin’ bullets in December
There’s blood in my sight
All them dreams I don’t remember
Flew off in the night

Got a choir of delusions (ahhhh)
Hammerin’ in my skull
And this wheel of confusion
Keeps on turnin’ full

[Chorus]
Oh, my vice, my vice
It used to feel like home
My vice, my vice
Now it cuts me to the bone

[Verse 2]
My body’s all broken
My blood feels like sand
And the devil’s still pokin’
With his bat in my hand

My eyes stay wide open
Sleep don’t come to me
I swam an ocean of lies
And drowned in the debris

[Chorus]
Yeah, my vice, my vice
It used to calm the storm
My vice, my vice
Now it’s colder than before

[Bridge]
One bright day, I saw forever
Fall to pieces in the rain
Seven years of stormy weather
Burnin’ holes inside my brain

[Instrumental]
(Yo!)

[Verse 3]
I’m prayin’ for redemption
God, pull me through
Let me be the exception
I don’t know what else to do

[Outro]
Oh, my vice, my vice
It’s not a friend no more
My vice, my vice
Left me dying on the floor

Walkin’ through the Case Mountain woodlands
Cravin’ a companion to ease my pain
I pulled favors to find you, man
Now I’m chasin’ you down again

[Verse 2]
Thank you for keeping me warm, and
Thank you for this nutmeg night
There may be hell in the morning
But tonight I’m feeling alright, yeah

So bring it on, bring it on, Adele
Bring it on, baby, I’m begging you
Bring it on, bring it on, my belle

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I still believe we could fix this world
Some forget why they came
Some are turned away at the gate
Who decides what dreams await

[Bridge]
We’re falling through euphoria
The magical madness begins
A flood of sound, hysteria
Where the night seeps under our skin

[Verse 2]
Drifting across this restless sea
The illusion of self-control
Elysia pulls us endlessly
To the center of her soul

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Cold-eyed mermaids shed restraint
In the undertow she sings
Sweet lies ripe as summer wine
They bite, they bruise, they cling

[Outro]
The nightingale forgets her song
No one’s left to carry on
Porcelain queens with painted eyes
The children run, electrified

[Instrumental]

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I’m transfixed by the colors
Bleeding in the sky above us
Crimson to tangerine
Sapphire between
I can’t fly
I’m trapped by your side

[Verse 2]
Stoned in the Japanese garden
She took you across the pond to the lions
Said hello darling, wanna take a trip?
Wanna take a hit…hit…hit?

[Verse 3]
She collects candy, Wonder Woman dolls
Just like we were kids, toys and all
She’s paranoid, short on joy
Gives herself away to girls and boys

[Bridge]
I’m intoxicated, I’m suffocated
I wanna go out, I need escape and

[Chorus]
My old friend
I’ve seen you topless, and I’m exhausted
I see your pain
But I just wanna smoke and watch Wednesday

And so the time goes by…I just sit here…comply
And so the time goes by…I just sit here…comply

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wonder if I missed a sign
If silence spoke too loud between your heart and mine
I see the world much clearer now with time
Ooh, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish you’d found a way
I wish you’d made it through
The sky still holds a space
That should belong to you

[Chorus]
You were made for bigger things, Te Ming
But the world began to close
And the weight of everything, Te Ming
Is a story no one knows

[Verse 2]
I still remember how the moment felt
A sudden shift, the hand fate had dealt
A mix of sorrow, gratitude, and guilt
Ooh, ooh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I wish you’d known real love
I wish you’d felt at peace
The battles deep inside
Should never end like this

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
The long days undo me
Holidays leave me bare
The silence is fatal
The shadows are there

[Verse 2]
The fantasies flicker
They left me long ago
Desire was a masquerade
Shame the only show

[Chorus]
Without the sun, the peach will blacken
The fruit waits, forgotten, in its wound
This borrowed life does not forgive you
Forgive yourself
Accept yourself
Love yourself

[Verse 3]
I counted the bodies
The beds, and the names
I traded my tenderness
For a ritual of games
It was not joy, not despair
Just the dullness of years
Asking, how am I still here?

[Verse 4]
Every act leaves its scar
Karma knocks at the door
I meant no cruelty
But cruelty was born
I lie when I rise
I lie when I fall
My house is in ruins
There’s no house at all

[Chorus]
Without the sun, the peach will blacken
The fruit waits, forgotten, in its wound
This borrowed life does not forgive you
Forgive yourself
Accept yourself
Love yourself

[Outro]
Without the sun, the peach will blacken
The fruit waits, forgotten, in its wound
This double life was never yours to carry
Forgive yourself
Accept yourself
Love yourself

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Once I lived in shades of sorrow
Every morning looked the same
The baggie and the needle borrowed
All my joy and left me shame
But I walked out past the garden
Where the winter melts to rain
And I saw the world unguarded
All its pleasure, all its pain

[Verse 2]
These stones have whispered stories
These rivers speak my name
What once was dull and endless
Now is wild and uncontained
The rules that used to cage me
Are as fragile as the breeze
And the shame that tried to claim me
Falls like leaves from autumn trees

[Chorus]
Is it me, or am I flying?
Like an eagle in the sky
I can see a burst of color
Where I used to crawl and hide
I have time, sweet, endless mercy
And the road runs out of sight
I can walk this path forever
And I don’t mind

[Bridge]
My mind’s a quiet lantern now
It glows but does not burn
I don’t need every answer
It’s enough to live and learn
Each breath, a small redemption
Each heartbeat, something new
I once was blind to wonder
Now the whole world comes in view

[Outro / Chorus]
Is it me, or am I flying?
Past the ruins I left behind
I can see a burst of color
And I feel the pulse of time
I will walk this road forever
In the rain or in the shine
And I don’t mind
No, I don’t mind

riches by Nova J

[Verse 1]
In the age of Aquarius, I’m the raging drought
Luminary prodigies n’ me don’t figure shit out
Buck in my little hand, cocaine in my locket
Bang in my caravan, beef curtains on my rocket

Step on the gas and fuck your assumption
Guzzling gallons, conspicuous consumption
Polluting the planet with toxic exhaust
Costco Tiger Auntie angry ’bout the cost

Cuz it takes a lotta moolah to look that cheap
Like yo baby mama gave birth in that big trash heap
Breathe it in nice and deep, that Arbor Mist, Bitch is almost 43 and he never been kissed

So grab a skunk and beat it off that shit-eating grin
Go ahead dive in deep even if you don’t swim
(Just do it)

[Chorus]
When you got cash, it’s a problem 
When u got pain, you wanna feel numb
Wanna feel numb, you gonna take drugs

[Hook]
Dogs love love love to chase bitches
Bitches love love love to chase riches

[Verse 2]
Demonic drag queens at Manchester library
Nova J’Eyenah reading Harry Potter scary
Cause the chick’s got a dick like a giant flagpole
Putting from the rough at the mini golf hole

Nothing on Max but 90 Day Fiancé
North Korean Love Island, naked and afraid
Grab him by the pussy like President Trump
Big juicy burger in your truck like a dump

You don’t read so you won’t relate, won’t be late 
Slurping they slop without hesitate
Wasting my time like an overweight stripper
Chafing my wood gonna get a splinter

[Chorus]
When you got cash, it’s a problem 
When u got pain, you wanna feel numb
Wanna feel numb, you gonna take drugs

[Hook]
Dogs love love love to chase bitches
Bitches love love love to chase riches

(Do it do it do it do it)

[Hook]
Dogs love love love to chase bitches
Bitches love love love to chase riches

(Do it do it do it do it)

He so rich, but he so poor
But she so rich, but she so poor
He so rich, but he so poor
But she so rich, but she so poor
He so rich, but he so poor
But she so rich, but she so poor

down to ground/Nova J

[Verse 1]
You said love would lift us high
But the air got thin up in the sky
Now I’m standin’ here, both feet down
Tryin’ to breathe on solid ground
Guess I thought I had it all figured out
Now I’m older, just full of doubt

[Chorus]
So I come back down to ground
Where the noise don’t drown me out
All the dreams I built came crashin’ down
So I’m learnin’ to live without
Every time I start to climb
Something pulls me back around
Yeah, I come back down to ground

[Verse 2]
I’ve been bettin’ on a bad hand
Thinkin’ love’s what makes a man
Now I’m countin’ what I’ve lost
And I can’t pay off the cost
Never thought I’d break again
But the house don’t let you win

[Chorus]
So I come back down to ground
Where the quiet feels like truth.
Guess I flew too far too soon
Now I’m hummin’ the crash-land blues
Every time I think I’ve found
Heaven hangin’ in the clouds
I come back down to ground

[Bridge]
How do you choose who to love
When every time it ends in flames
And why’s my heart so stubborn 
I keep losing at the game

[Final Chorus]
So I come back down to ground
With my ego banged around
Maybe fallin’s just a way
To see things here and now
I was racin’ for the sky
But it’s time to slow things down
Yeah, I come back down to ground

down to ground

emancipation by Nova J

[Vers 1]
Demons they haunt me
Lost souls, cast away at sea
Heartbeats from dragging me
Into endless purgatory 

But I was pulled from nights’ abyss (oh oh)
By the pull of Divine forgiveness (ooh ooh)
That suffering makes sense
That carried me to this

[Pre Chorus]
And If I had to do it all over again (ahh oh)
If that was the means to meet this end (ahh oh)
And that was the way to learn to live
If I had to
If I had to

[Chorus]
Break the chains of desperation 
Emancipate your mental state
Free your mind, free your body
‘Cause heaven on earth awaits (awaits)

[Post Chorus]
How much longer shall you linger (linger)
In this hell of your own creation? (creation)
Take your hand off that trigger
Feel the joy of emancipation 

[Pre Chorus]
If I had to do it all over again (again)
If that was the means to meet this end (this end)
And that was the way to learn to live (learn to live)
If I had to
If I had to

[Chorus]
Break the chains of desperation 
Emancipate your mental state
Whoa! Free your mind, free your body
‘Cause heaven on earth awaits (awaits)

[Post Chorus]
How much longer shall you linger (linger)
In this hell of your own creation (creation)
Take your hand off that trigger

And if I had to do it all over again
If that was the means to meet this end
And that was the way to learn to live
If I had to

Break the chains of desperation 
Emancipate your mental state
Whoa! Free your mind, free your body
‘Cause heaven on earth awaits (awaits)

How much longer shall you linger
In this hell of your own creation
Take your hand off that trigger
Feel the joy of emancipation

drifter by Nova J

[Verse 1]
I’m a drifter
I’m a drifter
And I’m not where I’m supposed to be

Of all the places I have gone, and will go
There’s one I should have left alone
Crossing paths with my old friend
Almost led me to a dark dead end
Mmmmmm

[Chorus]
I’m a drifter
And I don’t let no one close to me
I’m a drifter
And I’m not where I’m supposed to be
I’m adrift 

[Verse 2]
Indeed, my instincts told me to run
Instead I stayed, stupidly sampling the fun
I spent seven years chasing that feeling
From those first few hours of phony healing

[Chorus]
I’m a drifter
And I don’t let no one close to me (oh oh oh)
I’m a drifter
And I’m not where I’m supposed to be

[Bridge]
I suppose you can say I deserve this fate
I chose to stay, and now it’s too late
So hear my tale and heed my call
Run far away or you may lose all

[Chorus / Outro]
I’m a drifter
And I don’t let no one close to me (oooh)
I’m a drifter
And I’m not where I’m supposed to be
Mmm oooh ooh ahhh oooh ooooh aaaah ahhhh ooooh ahhh ooooh

street cat by Nova J

[Verse 1]
What’s your life like?
Flirting with your green eyes
Captivating me
Seducing me
I’m your slave 
This feral mind of mine
How it wanders, how it churns
These wild thoughts keep swirling
How they simmer, how they burn

[Chorus]
What it must be like…
To be a street cat…
To wander…
To roam…
To be free…

Ooh ooh

[Vers 2]
I fear for you
I don’t want your life to be hard
You take a drink and I feel chosen
But only for a moment before you run away 
You belong to no one
You are possessed by no one
You are sworn to no one 

[Chorus]
What it must be like…
To be a street cat…
To wander…
To roam…
To be free…

Ooh ooh

[Bridge]
The sun is finally shining
After two long weeks of rain
I even caught myself smiling
Like the old me again
But the storm always returns
And the wind always blows
My restless mind
These thoughts never slow

[Chorus]
What it must be like…
To be a street cat…
To wander…
To roam…
To be free…

Ooh ooh 

[Outro]
I try to sit quiet
I try to sit calm
Typhoons and tempests
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)
Spiraling on (and on, and on)

drug friends by Nova J

[Intro]
Mmm whuhmm

[Verse 1]
When you were high, they were stopping by
When supplies ran low, they hit the road
If you stock back up, they wanna come ‘round 
All them flakes and fakes, fillin’ up your place
With their tall tales, like killer whales
Comin’ for your blow hole

[Pre Chorus]
But you can’t sustain the life they demand
To hang out with your ice in their cocktail glass

[Chorus]
Cuz they drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

[Hook]
Whoa oooh but drug friends 

[Verse 2]
Cuz they all say how much they love it there
If they play games and scroll for days
And they all show up ‘till you fool yourself
Into thinking you’re popular in all ways 
And you can’t believe you put faith in phony rats
And you’re sick n’ tired of fair weather sycophants 

[Chorus]
Cuz they drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

Drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

[Hook]
(Whoa oh oh ooop oh oh ooop)
Whoa oooh whoa oooh 
whoa ooooh whoa ooooh whoa oh oh whoa oh oh

[Bridge]
You wrote your best friend from rehab
He stood you up when you got clean 
Your friend with benefits ghosts you 
Cuz sober sex ain’t his game
Your heart is broke n’ betrayed 
By they selfish and hurtful ways

[Chorus]
Cuz they drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

Drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

[Hook]
(Whoa oh ooop whoa oh oh ooop oooh whoa whoa)
Whoa oh oh ooop oh oh ooop oooh whoa oh whoa oooh

[Final Chorus]
Drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends 

Drug friends, drug friends
They got nothin’ nothin’ nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
Nothin’ to lose but drug friends
