Quintessential Embrace

Pass Go

This track i created with the korg gadget app on ipad.

This Car Is Not A Truck

Mercy

this album is a 50+ track, 2 hour + 28 mins compilation of beats i produced from late 2018 up until mid 2021... which was during my darkest times...

from 2018 - 2021, i used to produce beats to stop distract myself from having breakdowns, which lead to the creation to a good amount of songs from this compilation. these were originally released under other names of mine, but i decided to re-release all these under this name for all to enjoy!

btw, most of these are demos + loops, there is some finished material on here, but a lot of it i never had the time to give proper structure.

Lyrics
So what if they tell you something you did was wrong
and what if they show you places you don’t belong
tell me would it kill you or maybe make you strong 
just what does it take for you to carry on (and on and on and on and on and on)

So you made yourself feel happy
For that I’m really glad
Here’s the receipt for my friendship
The best ex you’ll never have
So you made yourself feel happy, happy, happy
For that I’m really glad I’m so glad I said that I’m so glad I said
Here’s a receipt for my friendship friendship friendship
Best ex you’ll never have 
The best ex you’ll never have 
Best ex you’ll never have
The best ex you’ll never have

So how many rights does one person need
how many people could feast on your greed
with an ego so blown up by birth rights to succeed
and if you puncture a dream does your sleep bleed
does it bleed
do you bleed

So you made yourself feel happy
For that I’m really glad
Here’s the receipt for my friendship
The best ex you’ll never have
So you made yourself feel happy, happy, happy
For that I’m really glad I’m so glad I said that I’m so glad I said
Here’s a receipt for my friendship, friendship, friendship
Best ex you’ll never have 
Best ex you’ll never have 
The best ex you’ll never have

Holding on to fresh air
Type that keeps you down
Gravity fights your battles
Fake tears of the clown
No one wants to listen
To the life you’ve lived
While Your life trophies glisten
That point you always missed
That Chances are for taking
But not from someone else
cos All the time you steal while
Another man feeds your wealth
For all the words you whisper
Another screams to be heard
All the hands that blister
So you can bore the world
So you can bore the world
and you bore the world

The Best-X you’ll never have
The Best-X you’ll never have

Best X
