I Know You Know Who I Am

Puppet's second album. Released May 4, 2022.

New York Family

A few months ago the name of the album changed. I started this project with a clear vision for an album about the repetitive, constant struggles modern artists go through with their mental health and how you have to learn to just keep fighting, how you have to learn how to face those struggles because at every stage of your career they will be there. The album was going to be called NO WINNER, meaning there's no final battle to win and unlock happiness, you'll always be facing imposter syndrome, you'll always be putting too high of expectations on yourself, you have to learn to find your own happiness because the struggle never ends.

After years of work, that belief changed. I spent years writing songs about each of my fears and doubts (Cursed about being cursed to fail, Penance about feeling like life is out of my control and I am paying for my mistakes), each step of the way working with a mental health specialist to deconstruct all these horrible things I was telling myself and creating new beliefs, I'm not cursed, I can do what I want with my life, this struggle I believed to be so real... was exactly that, just something I believed. With every old belief I replaced I came one step closer to realizing happiness. It took me about two years to finally understand that belief in victory is victory itself. There IS no final battle to win, yes, you will always be fighting, but you win by believing you will win. The real victory to be had over your mental health is to go through life believing you are capable and not letting minor defeats become permanent failures. Life isn't one big buildup to one final moment that will solve all your problems, life is in how you face those problems. The belief you can win is winning already. When you don't let your doubts and fears define you, when learn to write your own definition of success, you realize all of the ways you've already won.

I used to believe I deserved more, that I should've won

Victory is the belief I have won

thank you all for the constant support and for waiting this long

my 3rd album Victory is out now

from Puppet's second album New York Family

my notes from 23 
are scaring me
I couldn’t of known

theres nothing wrong with me
I’ve learned to be 
alright on my own

i’m just so sick of writing 
songs about
who I couldn’t be

I’ll force myself to learn 
to love what’s 
right in front of me

Hopeless to Hopeful

lyrics:

do you remember what you said to me
I hold those words closely
all the things we couldn’t be
in twenty eight 
twenty eighteen 

we used to wake up invincible
and go to bed miserable
the world that meant so much to me
just couldn’t be 
couldn’t be

I’d make it right again
but that’s spent time my friend
if I could go rewrite it all
I’d just go be free again

relive the times I felt alive
forget the times it hurt but I
flew too high
i’m falling down

oh no I’m falling down
just let me keep on falling
oh no I’m falling down

i wish that I could close my eyes
and teleport back in time

second single from Puppet's second album New York Family

a cover of Four Year Strong

lyrics:

go on and rip my beating heart out
fill my body up with disease
it doesn't matter if I'm rotting from the inside out
you're still the worst part about me

a symptomatic sign of the changing times
I feel like I'm just flying blind
I brace myself for the fallout
I never had a strong enough stomach for me to endure
all of the carnage shock and the gore
you're leaving me breadcrumbs to follow

I try to hold it together
but you just pull me apart

go on and rip my beating heart out
fill my body up with disease
it doesn't matter if I'm rotting from the inside out
you're still the worst part about me

I used to have the nerve to combust
but my spine is caked in dust completely covered in rust
and I'm sick of just coughing my lungs out
you always try to throw another wrench in the gears
filling my head with your bad ideas
that's what I get for sticking my neck out

split me down the middle
open up my chest
you can take the parts you want
and you can leave me with the rest
split me down the middle
open up my chest
I can stitch myself up good enough
clean up the mess that you left

go on and rip my fuckin' heart out
fill my body up with disease
It doesn't matter if I'm rotting from the inside out
you're still the worst part about me

go on and rip my beating heart out
fill my body up with disease
it doesn't matter if I'm rotting from the inside out
you're still the worst part about me

The Worst Part About Me

from Puppet's second album New York Family

lyrics:

endless summer keeps pulling me under
mid november there’s still things to do
whirlwind summer a year like no other
glad I spent it all with you 

people forget there’s a cold part of summer
drinks outside in december we cheers
we’ll keep smiling alive with our brothers
all year round that’s what I like to hear

laugh at blunders and hold hair through chunder
call them up let’s assemble the crew
whirlwind summer a year like no other
glad I spent it all with you 

I learned who I loved this long summer
building friendships and seeing them through
cut off sleeves in defiance of weather
let’s go out there’s still mad shit to do

my New York family changed my life for the better
all my confidence I owe it all to you
whirlwind summer a year like no other
glad I spent it all with you

Whirlwind Summer

lyrics:

I’m angry all the time
the sun goes down
on a day already over 
time alone gets me by
I can’t keep reaching lower

I’ve tried but resigned 
that I can’t win
the weight of a day’s
choices sets in
is who I am set in stone

just go
you’re right to wonder
trust in what you know
take it back
the place call your home
fight it out it’s 
time to make it so

hearts may break but
yours can take it
 
I ran away again
long flights alone
learned to be my own best friend
just along for the ride
when I said I’m gone
I meant it

shot down 
kicked around 
near the end when
brought back 
by the ones who listened
fought through insanity
to bring you back this
promise me just
go
you’re right to wonder
trust in what you know
take it back
the place call your home
fight it out it’s 
time to make it so


for what’s at stake
you’ll learn to fake it

cuz I’m so sick of trying
I’ll only take so much before I break

but i’m a martyr
a firestarter
get burned 
don’t push me any harder
still hurts just to put it in writing
I’ve heard it all
don’t need to be reminded

cuz underneath my walls
I’m cold
and dying

theres so much shit I hide
that I want you to know
cuz deep down 
I’m scared
of where I’ve fallen before

it’s all I am
and all I know
just go
you’re right to wonder
trust in what you know
take it back
the place call your home
fight it out it’s 
time to make it so

Angry All The Time - Mazare Remix

street signs
i cant read right
but I trust anyway
lost again
but with friends
we crave uncertainty

where we go
doesn’t change
more than moments
“dead end”
"wrong way”
if you say so

too loud 
we act out
tattoos to cover up
laugh at stares
till we see castles
in our One Cup

riding highs into lows
I slip and sway
can’t behave

these fangs are
always in the way
they rip
and tear
through my honesty
stay away from me
I live with
all the different ways
I scare
I bare
my teeth recklessly
inherently

I can’t stand
the small talk
make a scene
you’re one of us
anywhere’s our stage
last train’s
our nightly tour bus

phones flash like 
born again fireflies
spill a drink off the
fire escape
sky rise
smile and wave

these fangs are
always in the way
carve through
harsh truths
never meant to say
grin and get away
sharpened
every single day
whetstones
miss home
take the edge away
live another day

our fangs grow
suns down
feet up
cans cracked at the meet up

cheers to another 
railway sunset
orange cranes
in a city not done yet
cut a slice of our own
our fangs grow

Fangs

you could never grow up
but your time will still come
can’t always be young

you can braid your own hair 
but still let knots come undone
can’t fix every one

it’s a curse to not care 
why can’t I cherish the fun
scared i’ll forget all I’ve done

finding new lives to live
neglecting this one
got by but that wasted time

was worth more than gold
when I look back on what’s mine
not sure if I lived it right

you can’t save the days
you wish you could hide

I’m done
I’ll remember this one

you could beat yourself up
until you’ve finally won

and lose just the same

you could write it all down 
but watch your ink drip and run

turn pages and pages

it’s a curse to not care 
why can’t I cherish the fun
will it all be lost when I’m gone

I could throw it away
I could fade with the sun
till then
I’ll remember this one

Fade With The Sun

I don't trust the ones who claim to know what's right for me

lyrics:
somedays I wonder
if I know you well
gun to my head 
you make it so hard to tell
found out i’m not that good at lying
 or describing change
 why are you still trying
 it needs explaining
you know I’m down to change the subject
 but it won’t change our fate
 don’t know whats right
 but I’m still fighting for you 
why wont you?
we are the righteous 
towards the fighting we run 
but I’m done
 fighting for just anyone

trust the ones who know
 how to get you home 
strong enough to follow 
or be your best alone
the crash of roaring waves 
do you look back just the same
 relive our glory days
 do you still 
cuz I do
these thought are crawling through
 the growing cracks in my brain 
what was lost is now to blame

mistakes are growing pains
 i’ll take the reigns
 fall flat on my face 
what’s wrong with falling
 if i’m falling for you?
 I’ll tell you
i’ve pushed the farthest
 that my honesty 
can take me
 it wouldn’t kill you to be honest with me

trust the ones who know
 how to get you home
 strong enough to follow
 or be your best alone

I dont trust the ones who claim
 to know what’s right for me

lyrics:

riding a setting sun
live fast
burn red
die younger then
clouds changing shapes
day by day

the horizon
hides what gifts I gave
rising, left behind 
to wonder
where I’m meant to be

the answer is no where
dying to go there
why do I keep on pushing through

why is it harder
been there before
know what to do

why do I fall so far
I’m spiraling
burnt out
rewiring
writing new ways to say
I finally found my
home where
nowhere means I’m free

I lied
when I said I could fly
always climbing
hands are cut
but the blood wipes off fine
I wear my scars with pride

but how many more climbs
and new scars earned with time
til I get to know?
(I don’t know how I don’t know)
where I will fall
when I finally learn to let
go

the answer is no where
dying to go there
why do I keep on pushing through

why is it harder
been there before
know what to do

why do I fall so far
I’m spiraling
burnt out
rewiring
writing new ways to say
I finally found my
home where
nowhere means I’m free

RIGHT
(spent all these years
spent all this time
not enough to 
face the fear
I’ll never find)

LEFT
(dying to go there
I know this will hurt me
why do I deserve to be
the one to lose)

I know where I’ll fall
it was here when I
faced my fear
of falling too far behind

and I think I know why

I know what’s mine
I had lost it before
I’ll take what I’m owed
take everything I’ve earned
and more

the answer is no where
dying to go there
why do I keep on pushing through

why is it harder
been there before
know what to do
why do I fall so far
I’m spiraling
burnt out
rewiring
writing new ways to say
I finally found my
home where
nowhere means I’m free

Puppet & if found - The Answer Is Nowhere

Close

We’re going back again
Going back where it started
I’m looking back again
It was fun while it lasted
So unsettling for you to say to me we both lost it
Our home is covered in dust our days there were fun while they lasted

And I don’t know how I wake up and live like this
Just wasting time avoiding the silence

Don’t know where to go
Nowhere feels like home
How can I leave behind all I know
Am I living life, if I’m so terrified
And never happy where I am?

Lately a mess, I’m so obsessive, its too late
Is it in my head, feelings I’m tying to forget, but I cant change
I just want to feel again I don’t want to go another way
Keep running away from my fate

I’ll drive through the city as I wake up
To remind me of the place where we grew up
From the smell of the smoke that killed our lungs
To the parties where nobody wanted to show up
But i never quite expressed the love I felt
Ill drive this car into the water and choke on my seatbelt
Found my guts age 22
I’m gonna do what I wanna do

I wanna be brave
But I’ll fall on my face
I just wish I could take my time
Easy to say but I can’t look away

Don’t know where to go
Nowhere feels like home
How can i leave behind all I know
Am I living life, if I’m so terrified
And never happy where I am?

Kawasaki Boy RE-AMP

what if I lived a different life
had no scars never cried
never flew

what I had
wasn’t fine 
wasn’t fair
but was mine
what if I knew

i’d have never of learned
all the lessons that brought me to you

if I had it better
never cried
never fought for my life
i’d be through

I’ve tried to quit so many times
you see the surface of my life
what I’m going through

but it lead me to learn
all the lessons that brought me to you

I’d have never of learned
all the lessons that brought me to you

running circles in my mind
sing the same words every time 
you see right through me

but I sing them loud 
even when it hurts
if theres no fire
I’ll make it burn
pour on the gasoline

I will die by those words
and the lessons that brought me to you
I’d have never of learned
all the lessons that brought me to you

Worth It

THANK YOU LONDON

lyrics: 

it's a bittersweet
symphony that's life
trynna make ends meet
you're a slave to the money
then you die

I can change
I can change
I can change
and I'm here in my mold
and I'm here in my mold
and I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can change
no no no no no

well I've never prayed
but tonight I'm on my knees
I need to hear some sounds
that recognize the pain in me
cuz it's a bittersweet
symphony that's life
trynna make ends meet
trynna find somebody
then you die

no change
I can change
I can change
I can change
but I'm here in my mold
I'm here in my mold
cuz I'm a million different people
from all over the world
I can change

Bittersweet Symphony

Wish This Was Home

cheap date with a trance state truth
work’s out I called in a bomb threat

(oh no it’s the way we go
oh no it’s the way we gotta)

betrayed by your point of view
work on your popular project

(oh no it’s the way we go
oh no it’s the way we gotta)

just pretend it’s gone today
move on without all the progress

(oh no it’s the way we go
oh no it’s the way we gotta)


tough luck on your growing pains
I know I have to get on this

(oh no it’s the way we go
oh no it’s the way we gotta)

I’m trying
I’m trying

Popular Project

Today marks my first release as Puppet on Monstercat!

Scribble was the first song I ever wrote under this alias and also the most emotional one. Scribble is the product of a year of hard work and attention to detail while I was working diligently to find my sound. Still, every time I listen a certain emotion is evoked in me. This was my first attempt at expressing myself musically and I couldn't be more happy with it. I am extremely fortunate to have been able to work with one of my great friends The Eden Project on this track. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed the journey to this moment!!

LYRICS:

Oh were out of time
The final call is calling
The light falls lightly,
Between us,
Before tomorrow comes,
And it all is/gets lost again,
The ashes burn down brightest,
When we've everything to lose
So scribble me out,
Mistakes erased,
Forgotten,
Life goes on,
Without me
But she said trust me
These are the stories we will tell,
As I stood frozen,
Infinite I almost fell,
But I got a feeling
And my heart starts beating
A sudden rush of feeling alive
This is freedom
And I wont change
I wont phase out
I'm no ghost,
Let me go.

Scribble feat. The Eden Project (Extended Mix)

outsmart my
pick-and-choose scarecrow
long bomb loose
win or lose arrow
just fight
militant burn out
who lied
forget it we’ll find out 

ripped away
from a city so simple
in the cage
outwitting the devil
just fight
militant burn out
who lied
just admit it we’ll find out

reach high
get a beat down
lick the floor 
of the industry dog pound
aim tight
double lung bleed out
retired
ignorance fade out

fuck off kiss ass
now I’m riled up
hit the gas crash
50 car pileup
last lap
guillotine seatbelt
wave the checkered flag
last laugh from hell

can’t die
young warlord
more tattered
than the banner we fight for
be proud
limitless scoreboard
no end no winner
it’s war

It's War

A concentrated dose of happiness

LYRICS:
Falling down
And I'm falling out.
I'm speaking loud
But words won't come out.
What do I do?
What do I do.

Breathing out
My wings are gone
I'm stuck inside
I keep dreaming on
What do I do?
What do I do.

We'll keep reaching high
Through rain that fills the sky

What do I do?
What do I do.

Pushing off
The ground again
Looking down
I see no end
What do I do

Eyes open wide
Dreams taking flight
If you're alone tonight
Turn on your light
Send me a sign

We'll keep reaching high
Through rain that fills the sky

What do I do?
What do I do.


Answers Feat. Koo

widescreen problems 
portrait lives
canvas stretched tight
right on the cover of your
drip feed comfort
paradise
charades brought to life

it’s raining
your paint stained the air I breathe

some die young
while few will thrive
make up your mind
I bet if I said I was
8 feet tall and
never lied
the paint would never dry

you made me
I envy the life you see

I’ll see this through to the end
so I can live again

brain stem fried on
power lines

you made me
I envy the life you see

it’s fading
your paint stained the air I breathe

the race that never ends
bad start, turn two
they wave the checkered flag
what am I supposed to do?
I’ll write my own end
front page and center spread
cover your paint with my pen
so I can live again 

(I so badly
wanted you to see
what I couldn't be

well grab a seat
failure is about to repeat)

you made me
I envy the life you see

It’s fading
your paint stained the air I breathe

The Eden Project and I have been waiting to give you this one for a long time... It is about 8 months in the making. Working with The Eden Project this past year has been one of the best creative experiences for me. While we both have different visions and destinations, we work together so well and everything is full of energy. Scribble was the start of something amazing, who says it has to end?

Lyrics:

I can’t be alone here
I can’t be the only one who feels
Like I’m going no where
Just wishing somehow this dream will carry me
And I’ll swear just one last time
They say the world is yours so imma make it mine
Cos nothing is stopping you
You can set the world on fire
Nothing is stopping you
And if I go out I’ll go out screaming

It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing

Cos nothing is stopping you
You can set the world on fire
Nothing is stopping you
And if I go out I’ll go out screaming
And if I go out I’ll go out screaming

It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing

And its here
Right now
And you’ve been waiting for so long
Forget fear
And just run
Your past won’t catch you now

It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing



Puppet & The Eden Project - The Fire

you know

lyrics:

time alone
smoking gun
here with the
champion of none
roommates but
room just for one

could you move out?

never done
what he said
only exists in your head
no proof
that he’s dead

rival without reason
only one heart beating

tell me who’s haunting you
cmon I gotta know

I think I see him too
but I don’t believe in ghosts

your endless nightmare
didn’t start until you
started to run from everything
you’re scared of


twist the knife
she wakes up
stuck in the lies
he made up
you think we do this for fun
tell me who’s wrong

If you listened to what she said
you could find out what she meant
It’s never worse than 
what I expect  

tell me who’s haunting you
cmon I gotta know

I think I see him too
but I don’t believe in ghosts

your endless nightmare
didn’t start until you
started to run from everything

tell me who’s haunting you
cmon I gotta know

I think I see him too
truth is I fear him the most

i’ve seen this face before
the one I hide  
from my love
and brother

if we’re not fast
he’s going to pull you under

tell me who’s haunting you
cmon I gotta know

I think I see him too
but I don’t believe in ghosts

your endless nightmare
didn’t start until you
started to run from everything
you’re scared of



Who's Haunting You? feat. distant

the second single from my 3rd album

am I cursed to fail?

lyrics:

tired of tempting fate
been at it
again and again and again

pressed hard
to play the cards
the devil made

losing sanity
played out
it bled and it bled and it bled

short straws
mean longer falls
onto the blade

desperation
feeling ignored
dead ends through
thousands of doors

if my fate’s
already decided
I’m cursed to
just keep fighting

reputation
traded in for
mistakes that I take pride in

If theres a key I’ve tried it
there’s thousands like it

if my fate’s
already decided
I’m cursed to
just keep fighting

you placed the blame
and I spite it
you fanned the flames
I’ll light it

you shame the way
that I’m all in
I’m only cursed when I’m falling

the winds have changed
I’m breaking away

I’m not the same

built through tragedy
walls high
I ran and I ran and I ran

can’t hide in a castle made of dirt
can’t hide a self made failure’s worth

(well fed)
here it comes
(regret)
on the run from judgement
superstitions grow
(reset)
til they become
(forget)
all I know

desperation
feeling ignored
dead ends through
thousands of doors

if my fate’s
already decided
I’m cursed to
just keep fighting

relief became reality
slowly pulled it out of me
this key was always hiding
there’s thousands like it

if my fate’s
already decided
I’m cursed to
just keep fighting

you placed the blame
and I spite it
you fanned the flames
I’ll light it

you shame the way
that I’m all in
I’m only cursed when I’m falling

the winds have changed
I’m breaking away

I’m not the same

write until the final page
my ink runs red
I’m cursed to bleed

the scars that faded
I’ve chosen to see
mistakes that made
the best out of me

this stories not to read
all I’ve done
history

the blade you gave me
is facing both ways
I’m not the same
I’m not the same

Cursed

CHOOSE YOUR NEXT WORDS CAREFULLY

LYRICS:

Friday nights and blinding lights 
will never be enough
Stand upon your ignorance 
to make yourself feel tough
Spit out all your bloody lies 
until your mouth goes numb
The broken lives you leave behind 
will haunt you one by one

Fuck off
I don't got nothing to say
You're dead to me 
And fading away

Bite the curb until you learn
you know we've had enough
Show no signs of empathy
emotionally scuffed
Act like you own everything
but pretend you've had it rough
Don't come around, you'll get knocked out
you know I'll call your bluff

Fuck off
I don't got nothing to say
You're dead to me 
And fading away

I know one day
These games that you play
Will tear you down
In every way

A patient tongue's a loaded gun
I'm careful where I aim
Peace of mind
I found the time
To leave behind your name

I know what's best
survive the rest
Yet still you're in my face
Choose your next words carefully
Or be a bullet gone to waste

A patient tongue's a loaded gun
I'm careful where I aim
Peace of mind
I found the time
To leave behind your name

I know what's best
survive the rest
Yet still you're in my face
Choose your next words carefully
Or be a bullet gone to waste

Bullet Gone To Waste (Feat. Goodnight Osaka & Puppet)

the final single from album 3

LYRICS:

treading carefully
dirt footprints fade away

red dust
hides rusted
insecurity

aiming higher
is bad for your health
I’m not letting myself live
truly free

if I took it easier on me
would it inspire me
could it change my fate

I’ll wait and see

if I took it easier on me
would it inspire me
could it change my fate

till all the hard days
are forgiven

self help builds
confidence

cranes lift while
concrete dries
i’ll write my sins
in wet cement

just let me turn the page
tears blur
the words will fade
move slow
overloaded with uncertainty
watch the weight of your tears
shape waves
ships will shake when
you change the sea

you’ll change the sea

if I knew any other way
to keep from spiraling
to keep me sane

I’d take it easier on me
would it inspire me
could it change my fate  

Easier On Me feat. SadBois


who decides who’s worthy of fame
most dreams are others’ makings
curse blighted
sleep depraved
a part of me
integrity
still worth saving


late at night 
up naming my fears
they burn like hurtful cravings
this steady heart is breaking
down

I’ll earn your respect
when I learn I’m finally enough
I’ve made enough friends
but every part of me’s still numb
I gave you my best
am I finally done
I’ve learned to accept
that I should’ve won

no surprise my fears learned to wait
return with perfect timing
numbing nights won’t stop the pain
breathe it in
weed it out
fuck, it’s still trying

double down
I consecrate
my perfect life
the future you hate
glory bound 
these iron chains
rust but never break

I’ll earn your respect
when I learn I’m finally enough
I’ve made enough friends
but every part of me’s still numb
I gave you my best
am I finally done
I’ve won
I’ve won
I’ve won

VICTORY
suffocating
fighting alone
eliminate the doubt and breathe
learning my success is my own

no fangs 
all broken teeth
half a smile
but i know
it’s enough
it’s enough
it’s enough

I gave it up
came back to me
that little dream is changing 
I’ve grown 
willing minds
accept defeat
failure’s not the future I chose

realize reality’s
guided by what’s inside of my head
I’ve won
I’ve won again

I have a question 
you can’t answer
I won’t tell you,
it’s for the better
the way I learned was nights
regretting my whole life
coyotes call
high desert sunrise
I fly so far
just to kill the time
a silent war
is loudest in my mind
why can’t I just live with the past
and change my life


gods forgive me
I am the reason
I can’t promise
things will be different
my odds are paper thin
this is my penance
to be the keeper 
of all my mistakes
and feelings

There’s a voice outside your window
With the same face that you lied to
The cause of all that isn’t right
Was something beyond the point that you would’ve recognized

A numbness rippled up and down
The shafts of light won’t hide it now
Your hands all stained with shades of red
You weren’t in control and now it weighs upon your head

Gods forgive me I know the reason
I understand that this time will be different
Had tunnel vision for 20 years so
It’s only now that I learned to let go

I wanted to love you but maybe I didn’t
I guess that the distance you made was deliberate
Did I misunderstand when you wanted to be close
Cause if I was wrong tell me how the hell would I know

Penance

Soft Spoken EP

Without Me

The third single off the Soft Spoken EP, Enough is Enough!

For me, this EP is all about shutting up and letting the music do the talking. I wanted to infuse my sound with as many genres and styles as possible and working with Cormak and Richard, we were able to make this a slower, more powerful track. We hope you enjoy it because we had a lot of fun making it!

Lyrics:
Oh how I miss the days
We'd get carried away
But you had a lot to say
Enough is Enough
Enough is Enough

were fighting all the time
You say I'm out of line
But this life is only mine
Enough is Enough
Enough is Enough

Understanding that I have to go this way
Is probably harder than asking me to stay
If theres a moment that you cant stand
Get over ground where you can land
Enough is Enough
Enough is Enough

I've held on to all these ties
Unspun all your lies
And heard a thousand cries
Enough is Enough
Enough is Enough

On the edge of asking why
You don't even want to try
The feelings all combine

You and I will see this through to the end
We push we fight whats, wrong whats right
If you wander away, I will never see you again

Understanding the world wont turn your way
Makes it harder for things to look ok
If theres a moment that you cant stand
Get over ground where you can land
Enough is Enough
Enough is Enough

Lyrics:
Call to the world
Whispering through the valleys
that run through our 
Blood and bones
Breaking the constant cycle
Deciding to
Live free at last
Fight through the past 
Now its finally time
We have the choice
You have the voice that will live through our sons
and move generations to come

So just try
Just hold tight
We found light
Its alright~

Run from all you know
The concrete makes way to valleys and all of our
Lessons learned
Will carry us through the unknown 
Deciding to
Live free at last
Fight through the past now its finally time
We have the choice
You have the voice that will live through our sons
and move generations to come

its alright [FINALE]

Vagabond

Listen to the Storm

we'll never be here again

a big thanks to A Will Away for being a huge inspiration, giving me the confidence to change, and for writing such a great song

http://smarturl.it/hereagain

Lyrics:
I sat on your car
And dented the hood again
This isn't your fault
But who's gonna pay for it?
I see from your face
That things should be different
We've always been good
But we'll never be here again

If you feel you're wasting time
Then your cup should run over
With more of mine
Hold it till the bitter end
We'll never be here again

I'm always behind
The feelings you fed to me
Division of life
The game of the century
For what it's worth
I know what I want to be
Forever lacking all civility

Here Again

this song means a lot to me 

flying overseas to find inspiration in the little things, something as simple as seeing a crane in the sky

hating myself for it, why do I have to go so far to feel so little

Lyrics:
outside looking in
glad to be home again
spent months waiting
hesitating
worth it in the end
head is clearer
grass is always greener
searching for something new
ask myself
what does it mean to you
what does it mean to you
I'll tell you
I'll tell you

spending nights wasted
I'm so numb to this
leaving home just to be alone
I'm so done with this
so sick and tired
being uninspired
constant reminder
what does it mean to you

I'll tell you
I'll tell you

wake up somedays
see the smallest things
seems so big to me but
get a grip forget it all anyway
I'm just so sick and tired
being uninspired
constant reminder
what does it mean to you
the orange against the blue
I'll tell you
I'll tell you


special thanks to one of my irish brothers: murtagh

for all the times you have been jealous of a friend

you envy everything they do but you can't tell them

you're asking why

lyrics:

wake up reach to silence a dying phone
set sail hide the precious cargo
glad you’re well but theres things I don’t wanna know

you’re asking why
why do I hide it all inside of me
what can I say
you’re asking why
fuck it

you’re asking why
why im crying always trying just to be on my own
you’re asking why
why I see myself in all the distant places you go
you’re asking why
we live we die we fight with pride
you’re asking why
why I’m nearly letting envy get between you and I
but why, its hard to know

make time real fighters don’t give up on their dreams
who am I another victim of jealousy
can’t tell if you really believe in me
you’re asking why
why its not easier
you’re asking why
its not easier to be me

its hard to be alone 
you’re asking why
why I see myself in all the distant places you go
you’re asking why
we live we die we fight with pride
you’re asking why
why I’m nearly letting envy get between you and I
but why, its hard to know

The Veldt by deadmau5 was one of the songs that originally inspired me to make music as a teenager. I used to watch the video of Joel discovering Chris James on loop. It gave me goose bumps. Watching that, 18 year old me knew what I wanted to do with my life. I've grown a lot in 6 years, I may have changed a lot but I wanted give appreciation to where my life as a musician all started

Lyrics:

happy life with the machines
scattered around the room
look what they made they made it for me
happy technology
outside the lions roam
feeding on remains
we'll never leave look at us now
so in love with the way we are

here

every night they rock us to sleep
digital family
is it real or is it a dream
can you believe the machines
outside the beating sun
can you hear the screams
we'll never leave look at us now
so in love with the way we are

here

The Veldt

this is who I am

lyrics:
fly too high and you’ll always get burnt
finding words but they all seem to hurt
I’m scared all the time

all I’ve done you say is nothing at all
all this time I’ve spent tearing down walls
just to get left behind

so who could blame me if I gave it all away
I tried my best does that make it ok
life is fair but when it all leaves my head
I’ve got time to spare but I feel i’m already dead

reminded daily of who I’ve become
keep to myself I’m comfortably numb
I promise I’m fine

all this time I’ve spent fighting for fame
what’s it worth, you won’t remember my name
if I made it I’d fade with time

so who could blame me if I gave it all away
I tried my best does that make it ok
life is fair but when it all leaves my head
I’ve got time to spare but I feel i’m already dead

I don’t wanna hear it
the curtain call
so sick of faking
don’t care at all
need to escape but I’m too self aware
my hero's ending
the guilt I bear

I hope you’re listening
while I dig my grave
don’t feel bad
it’s not your life to save
it’s finally time to just give up the dream
remember me

Already Dead

lyrics:

take in the ocean air
you laugh and stop to stare
you say I just don’t see it
oh wait
you mean it
step off the circle line
don’t say i’m doing fine
I should sleep more
you should keep your promises from last time

yo
life is complicated
history created
tell me whats stopping you
live your life the way you made it

ok ok
don't need to turn back time
take my hand we'll take this in stride
lets give this one more try
ok ok
I could be more
unless you promise it's the last
goodbye

you said this last time

trying to understand
life lessons, holding hands
we say we both don't need it
I know you feel it
hear what I have to say
it's still inside of me
we could be more
I can see you're starting to see my way

life is complicated
memories we hated
I know whats stopping me
living life the way you made me

but the last time
I felt fine
your hand in mine

ok ok
don't need to turn back time
take my hand we'll take this in stride
lets give this one more try
ok ok
I could be more
unless you promise it's the last
goodbye

you said this last time

lyrics:

life is complicated
thats understated
remember feeling alive
and the times it faded
should I be ashamed
of all the things I say
no way

I cried on the train just the other day
I thought becoming a man would go a different way
saw the world with young eyes
wake up and realize
its not the same

the battles get harder almost every time
my dream's on the line and I'm terrified
the harder I try I'm falling more behind

it's not the same

life goes up but I took a fall
you might think I'm a king but I cant win em all
life is fair but with an empty head
what do I do instead

tell me why I don't feel
anything anymore
tell me why I don't feel
anything anymore

PUPPET:
distractions
fade away
the tides change
the waves remain

my life is out that door
warring what’s worth fighting for
stay quiet one more day
waste away
I don’t think so

just try and hold me back
warm-up swings I’m next at bat
wound up on wasted days
swing away
come on lets go

our times up
come out and play
shoulder to shoulder
through the pain

left out again that’s all I am
I’ll fight alone and breathe again
take all my friends and leave with them
I’ll understand

blue skies
you bring the rain
you’re a whisper
they sing my name

I’m offended
your pity party’s ended
you can keep pretending
but I know you know who I am

I don’t blend in
just how I intended
all my patience
I spent it

EDEN:
calling out when you never listened
how continents felt closer than a mile
all I can say is its nothing I cant change

so call me now when you're feeling like it
I've been running out of love
running out of time
all I can say is it's nothing I cant change

PUPPET:
now you tell me what to do
but I won’t turn for you
another life another day
there’s nothing I can’t change

left out again that’s all I am
I’ll fight alone and breathe again
take all my friends and leave with them
I’ll understand

lyrics:

where did my time go
I’m falling out the window
you’re scared
don’t cry
spread my wings as I fly by

maybe I’ll try again
forget about the last 10
you’ve waited
been patient
I’ll say it

why do I feel the same
we’ve only ourselves to blame
tired of
making light of
all this old shit I still can’t write off

being stubborn comes with the fame
I’ll do things my way
if you hate it
I can take it
been around you don’t know what I’ve been through

trynna change who you are
can only go so far
can’t face it
life wasted
fucked around
didn’t tell you I’d make it

life isn't show and tell
gotta figure out for yourself
Im jaded
frustrated
can’t help if you love what you hated

I’ll try
this time
hit the lights
let the memories fade in

I’ll do what I wanna do
I’ll see dreams come true
the good life
outside
the walls held high when you’re tongue tied

nostalgic of Fuji Rock
I hate being all talk
had friends
miss them
knots untied at the frayed ends

homeruns Shinjuku
nights out from my teenage bedroom
together
no pressure
lived the lie that life gets better

memories fall behind
alone at the finish line
Im jaded
frustrated
can’t help if you love what you hated

I’ll try
this time
hit the lights
let the memories fade in

goodnight Osaka
fired up
riversides light up
in the street crowd
sing loud if we wanna

swing for the fences
sunset
not dead yet
burnt our time up
childhoods ended

big smile for the polaroid folder
hope it means more
looking back when I’m older

I’ll remember this all someday
someday

IKYKWIA Track #3

lyrics:

I’m alone today
some things never change

living in good memories
tired when they fade

I’m buying time
counting all the steps I take

your tired eyes
seeing through my poker face

remember when
the devil didn’t want me dead

I’ll see you then

I wanna see my friends
yeah I wanna see my friends

I wanna see my friends
you wanna see your friends

the seasons came and went
but we can start again

I wanna see my friends
I wanna see my friends

yeah I wanna see my friends
yeah I wanna see my friends

I wanna see my friends
you wanna see your friends

what’s it gonna be
you’re a part of me

I wanna see my friends
I wanna see my friends

it’s good to hear from you
the summer skies are blue
yo 待ってよ
新宿駅会いにくる

together every night
together till we die
we're blood brothers
with nothing to lose

tonight though
I thought I lost you
dug deep
fight dirty like a cutthroat
they might take me
but we’ll have our day

I’m buying time
counting all the steps I take

your tired eyes
seeing through my poker face

remember when
the devil didn’t want me dead

I’ll see you then

IKYKWIA Track #4

lyrics:

one moment in life can last forever
you lose track of what’s real
if you look back for too long
why’s my life moving faster
can we just stop right here

I don’t think we wasted time no
I don’t wanna spend my nights alone
living life lost in old photographs
I know

memories fade in due time
I know i need to leave that place behind
I know it was the time of our lives
i know

remembering nights full of laughter
the photos are hard to see
when I know they’re behind me
caught myself looking backwards
can’t I be happy right here

I don’t think we wasted time no
I don’t wanna spend my nights alone
living life lost in old photographs
I know

memories fade in due time
I know i need to leave that place behind
I know it was the time of our lives
I know

the time will fly by if you let it
fading nightly
why did no one tell me
to hold on tightly
told you I won’t forget this
(I know It’s not fine but It’s all right)
even if I wanted to
(I know It’s not fine but It’s all right)

I don’t think we wasted time no
I don’t wanna spend my nights alone
living life lost in old photographs
I know

memories fade in due time
I know i need to leave that place behind
I know it was the time of our lives
I know
