synesthesia

both tracks self produced
mastered by @anem0s
@gasmaskatl helped a ton with mixing the beats
@alisynn pulled me out the vocal gutter (FR)

bounced around a bunch of different projects while learning production for the past few months with a heavy focus on these two just to see what I was capable of while trying to stay within the conventions I was used to type shit

thanks for sticking around :)

lyrics:

Dont wanna miss you
But you’ll be the one I haunt 
If that’s an issue
Then you could count me out of college 
Fuck your tattoos
Though they were few and far between
They said youre bad news

Why the fuck you act new
Talking all this shit when you dont have to
Ive never been the one to come attack you
Thanks to you im fucking hurting like the past two
Months have taught me where I fucked it up
Wish you’d get out of my head I shouldn’t be in love
Im a fool I fucking said that you would be the one
 
I left my heart on a shelf down in the basement
I could have never been aware of the mess that we were making 
Know she dont wanna waste my time
And If I felt alright 
Then I would make her mine again
She said she’s scared of broken promises
But Ive got my head out of the gutter what my momma says

lyrics:

Think you’re right (think you’re right)
People change, feelings fade given time
But I don’t mind
Change my name, take a break, give the wrong advice

Scrape my face on the pavement
Not playing it safe when
I feel so complacent
There just ain’t no way that
I got replaced and
My heart’s still vacant
What the fuck am I saying?

Pay no mind 
To the way that I cope when I’m falling behind
Fake my life
All the weight on my shoulders is gone when I die
Least I tried

Guess if this was your plan then you fucked it up
Was it not enough for you to hold that shit over my head?
Ain’t no place that I’d rather be than reality
No new mentality (still wish I were dead)
Pulled you out like a cavity and I felt the gravity
That I’m just a coward that’s all that I (wish I had said)
There’s no place for neutrality, A new felt duality
When I got nobody to blame but myself

Pay no mind 
To the way that I cope when I’m falling behind
Fake my life
All the weight on my shoulders is gone when I died
Least I tried
Pay no mind (ain't no place that I’d rather be)
To the way that I cope (than reality, no new mentality)
When I’m falling behind
Fake my life
All the weight on my shoulders is gone when I died
Least I tried

Heard you tried to say you’re sorry I
Tried to ignore you
Like something that’s not important
So maybe I’m holding onto a grudge
That I shouldn’t but I will
I couldn’t swallow your pill
There’s no assurance in hell
So if you tell me you’re down for the count let it all go
No missing out, running ‘round in a circle
Can’t hold me down, run your mouth, jump a hurdle
Get out of town, headed south, because it was
Always you

cope (kbl)

mastered by @anem0s
@gasmaskatl helped a ton with mixing the beats
@alisynn pulled me out the vocal chain gutter

I'll always be on your side
if even only in hindsight
but I don't mind spending half my time
wondering if you're okay
'cause I can't listen to you
but I know you feel the same about me
I'll be right here until you find me
Is that surprising?
I wont take it light
unveiled at the perfect time
the dent inside of my psyche
It shouldn't be that hard to understand
you know I tried to explain
that it don't matter how much you changed
I'm not tryna bother you but
I got water if you walk through the flame
(know it's not as scary as you think)
but you know that I can't believe that now
too bad I wanted to say
cause if you got my back then I got yours and
I know you know so tell me why is everybody the same
youll pick me up and throw me down again like it's all a game
what a shame
nobody's listening to anything to anything that i gotta say
guess it's all my bad now
but you should know I'm on my last try to get my story right I
can't listen to you
I know that I cant be the bad guy
It's just not worth my time
I won't take it light
unveiled at the perfect time
the dent inside of my psyche

track 2/2
april 5 https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/oldcollin/hr-3 

say something else why dontcha
said what's your problem?
cause if you got one, please dont try to say it to me
i can't say it doesnt bother me
but in all honesty i'm handing out apologies, i'm not even sorry
you say it's all my fault and that you wont back down
say something else why dontcha
but look who's talking like they know so much
as if it doesn't make a difference at all
but if we stayed in touch
we'd have run into a wall
so is that enough for you

to reconsider at all 
if it's just to tell you that I'm sorry I'm not
cause if I hadn't have lost then I
wouldn't find out how much I'm really worth
but I can't say I'm not tired of always feeling hurt
you could say a million words
but it still won't get to me
lacking the empathy you need to feel a little more important dontcha
but there's no need for me to panic cause
I feel it more clearly than you

(4cf)
so why I gotta find a way to get over just saying you're right
got you for closure growing older and freeing my mind
there's something heavy on your chest wanna put me in line
just cause i knew you watch your best i might give it the time
aw but it's alright baby you needed t hat
last shot when you was hurt you know it's a part of the fact
if i had just a little more time I might have something to speak for myself
and no I cant be no one else

still gonna play with this song in the future when i decide to put it in a project but wanted 2 put this out before a certain lyric loses timing #yeahhh

lyrics:

me: 
can't get it off my back or play my cards right
but i know exactly who you are
i shook it off and blamed myself like last time
i melt down, you sell me back for parts

mid summer bracing to not freak out
i know that's what it's all about
i'll suffer as long as you need me around
but until i figure out that it's gone
nothing's wrong

bassea:
but i never thought
i couldn't figure out something like this
just an afterthought
i promise that i wasnt hit and miss
so i'll cross my broken fingers
and hoped you wouldn't mind
it's not up to me to fix it
if it stands the test of time
broken clocks inside my head
my face forgot that it turns red
what's the point of acting crazy
if there's nothing to be said?

me: 
midsummer bracing to not freak out
i know that's what it's all about
i'll suffer as long as you need me around
but until i figure out that it's gone
nothing's wrong
minimalist pop

lyrics:
I don't know if I'm wasting your time
How can I tell if you feel alright
Go back to the way that it was
And you can find me
And you can
Ah, said you can
Ah, said you can
Mm, aah, said you can

Say that I failed my mission, the blood is still on my hands
And I could try to see from your vision, but don't think I'd understand
I don't wanna waste your time, tell me you get it and it'll all be clear
And if you gotta leave that's fine, I'll be right here (you can)

You can do much better now that I'm not here
And if the words that fall out of my mouth aren't clear
You can ask a thousand times, I promise that the answer's still the same
Cause you can find me

And I can't read the signs but I'd be lying if I said you told me
Cause I need your love (But do I really need it or it's something that I want?)
Now that everything's untethered, do you feel a bit more better than you'd think
Even though it's so far out of reach
In my head I've been so clever, but I know that nothing's ever gonna link

So why don't we let it go (As if it's ever enough, no it's never enough, no it was never enough)
Back to the way that it was
I know it's too late
I just want you to want me
Just pick the time and the place
And maybe we could be okay
I know you wanted me to change, ah, but you can find me

And you can
And you can find, oh you can find, oh you can find me (Ah, so you can)
So you can find, oh you can find, oh you can find me (Ah, said you can)
So you can find, oh you can find, oh you can find (Mm, ah said you can)

You can
