Personality Disorder by Nova Way is a raw, emotional journey into the struggles of an artist on the edge. Influenced by the haunting atmospheres of The Cure and the lo-fi textures of Eyedress, this album captures the essence of living through a turbulent and uncertain life. Written during Nova's time as a locksmith in a halfway house in Bridgeport, the record reflects the harsh realities of borderline poverty, isolation, and resilience.

Nova’s world is shattered when he’s robbed at gunpoint by four men, an event that becomes a catalyst for the album’s deeply personal exploration of vulnerability, paranoia, and survival. The tracks blend somber post-punk melodies with introspective lyrics, offering a glimpse into the mental and emotional strain of a life on the margins. Personality Disorder is not just a collection of songs; it’s a confessional, a cry for understanding, and a testament to the strength of an artist fighting to stay afloat in a world that doesn’t always seem to care.

lyrics: 

Don’t waste my time 
Reset set my drive,
Random memories 
You Left behind 

They don’t know me well 
They don’t know me well

I can only see these games , no I don’t believe a word they sayin,
Maybe we should go on alone 

All these dreams above my head
Wish they were you instead
I am delusion it is the usual
It’s your night out you don’t have to find out,
I’m going in this bed

Ally had an I 
Ally had a name ya ya 
AI baby’s yeah its all the same 

System on the go
Devils on his own 
Singing about the days
Crying on the on his own
Maybe we should go on alone
Turn me to a animal

Original Song and Lyrics by Nova Way

I don’t belong
It’s been way too long
Time never knows 
Like a looking glass show

A Change will be done 
Till kingdom come 
Views from this hell
I can’t make it out, can’t tell 

On and on phenomenon 
Way to strong 
This is fantasy yeah

On and on 
Way to strung 
Had enough
Out of misery yeah
Out of misery 

Please end this song
mind keeps going on
This end of the road 
Waiting  4 me are my foes

On and on phenomenon 
Way to strong
This is fantasy yeah

On and on
Way to strung 
Had enough 
Out of melodies yeah
Out of melodies
