Heart-to-Heart

Song about summer love that ended too soon.

The End of Me and You

(Verse 1)
I dyed my hair that peachy-brown (mmm, peachy)
To remind you of the sweetness you forgot (yeah, babe).
You love when the night is full (full of it),
Full of the flowers I drown myself in (gardenias…).
Peonies running through my veins (ohh),
Perfume heavy like the summer rain.

(Pre-Chorus)
But you don’t see what’s inside of me (nah, nah),
You don’t see the pain, the quiet agony (baby).

(Chorus)
I once had a fire (I had a fire),
It burned like the sun (so bright, so bright).
I once had a fire (uh-huh),
But I killed it for your love (mmm, for you).

I once had a fire (I had it, I had it),
That lit up the night (all night long).
I once had a fire (fire, fire),
But I smothered it for your life (for you, baby).

(Verse 2)
They say I’m too fucked up to love you (fuck it),
And maybe they’re right (maybe, maybe).
Nobody knows the weight of the sacrifice I made (sacrifice).
Like a dying star fading from the sky (fallin’ down),
I’ll explode, turn to dust— (ohh)
Maybe then I’ll be someone you like (maybe, babe).

(Pre-Chorus)
But you don’t see what’s inside of me (inside of me),
You don’t see the grief or the tragedy (so heavy).
You don’t see what’s killing me quietly (quietly, quietly),
And you don’t want to (don’t wanna know).

(Chorus)
I once had a fire (I had a fire),
It burned like the sun (so bright, so bright).
I once had a fire (uh-huh),
But I killed it for your love (mmm, for you).

I once had a fire (I had it, I had it),
That lit up the night (all night long).
I once had a fire (fire, fire),
But I smothered it for your life (for you, baby).

(Bridge)
You never liked the way I spoke (never did),
Or the way I gasped for breath when I choked (ooh).
You don’t get it—no, you don’t get it (nah, nah).
You don’t wanna get it, or get me (don’t wanna, don’t wanna).
I won’t fucking explain it (no),
Love’s supposed to be soft, not a war (soft, not a war).
You’ll never get it, no you won’t get it (never, babe).
And when you finally do— (yeah),
I’ll be long gone, baby (gone, gone).

(Outro)
I once had a fire (I had it, I had it),
It burned like the sun (so bright, so bright).
I once had a fire (uh-huh, yeah),
But I killed it for your love (mmm, for you).

You don't get it

You're Just Dust (Wish)

Nomad is the debut album from Nick Nobody, an artist of Hyperbole Creative Media. The album explores themes of resistance to and refusal of love, relationships, and long-lasting bonds as a means of self-preservation, or so it may seem. Drawing on nomadic characteristics like wandering and a constant avoidance of settling in one place, Nomad takes a deep-dive into the concept of protection over connection, uncovering vulnerability, desire, disappointment, and longing hidden underneath fear and misunderstanding. Ultimately, the album is an introspective journey with winding roads leading to clarity and a hope for stability.

Sleep When It's Dawn (Official Album Version)

ENOUGH AS i AM

Rewind

Ashes in the Rain

Showstopper

Similar names, similar dates
Similar days, similar fates
Both blown apart in plain daylight
Life imitates art, or art imitates life

Both guys shot in the neck
On the left side of the head
Blamed on the right and the radical left
Both lost their life, both tragically dead

Two fight scenes, one real, one pretend
September tragedy strikes again
Art imitates life or so we may surmise
Is this real life -- or is this Snake Eyes?

You've got to read the plot and script
And you can't quit seeing parallels
A magazine cast a spell IRL
Mag and the storm named Jezebel

Similar names, similar dates
Similar days, similar fates
Both blown apart in plain daylight
Life imitates art, or art imitates life

Both disasters took place in mid-September
Both had Kirk in their names as you'll remember
Both murders staged, covered up and censored
Although the movie paraded no transgenders

Two fight scenes, one real, one pretend
September tragedy strikes again
Art imitates life or so we may surmise
Believe everything -- but your eyes

It's probably just simple coincidence
But some of us ain't sittin' on the fence
Both blown apart in plain daylight
Life imitates art, or art imitates life

It's probably just, simple coincidence
But some of us, ain't sittin' on the fence
Art imitates life or so we may surmise
Is this real life -- or is this Snake Eyes?

Two fight scenes, one real, one pretend
September tragedy strikes again
Art imitates life or so we may surmise
Believe everything -- but your eyes

Snake Eyes

We are all Sinners when the Light goes off
