i’ve been trying to write you
a series of poems
but nothings changing
ill bottle my problems
till i can’t contain them
they’ll stay right inside of my own head
and i just wanna know what it means
to be myself again
i’ve lost interest in the things that would help me just forget

and i don’t like the way i talk
i hate whats said
id rather just shut up
and eat this lead
i cant deal with dread
i cant deal with stress
i lie every single night awake in bed
my mind is sinking into sorrow
i cant see tommorow
yesterday was hollow
eyes are feeling shallow
i cant give a reason
why i should be breathing
wish for different seasons
so i can feel decent

some nights I lie in bed
trying to make sense 
of what i intend to be
my mom says get a job
but i cant hang on
to a life that isn't for me

but you and i
see eye to eye
as they keep movin forward
we get along
sing the same song
someday we'll make it out there

poems for myself w/ stephanie cortez (caspr & saint tommorow)

a happy song for once but hahahahahaahhahahahah

I talk to my walls about you
Pretty sure they're tired of hearin' it
I talk to my walls about you
Now all four know your name
I talk to my walls about you
And I think they agree the room doesn't feel the same
And there's only you to blame
I talk to my friends about you
Pretty sure they're tired of hearin' it
I say "I met a guy, and he treats me real nice"
Which is good for a change
I talk to my friends about you
And I think they agree my exes weren't always great
And I don't really buy into fate
But you tell me I'm pretty
And you don't ask for too much
'Cause you know and I know
That promises sometimes can hurt
When it's barely begun
And I don't want this to fall through
Collapsing is what I'm used to
But we're all in agreement
This is something I should hold onto
I talk to my mom about you
She thinks you sound wonderful
I talk to my mom about you
And I tell her you are
I talk to my mom about you
And I think we agree I found what I was looking for
And now I know for sure
'Cause you tell me I'm pretty
And you don't ask for too much
'Cause you know and I know
That promises sometimes can hurt
When it's barely begun
And I don't want this to fall through
Collapsing is what I'm used to
But we're all in agreement
This is something I should hold onto

PIGGYBACK Lyrics
I was three years old
All I wanted was the music and
My parents were doing everything they could
To move away from our place working over time always
While I sat up in my grandma's project building coloring

Ooh
Moved to a small town and 
Started to started to grow
Poetry written I’m singing and dancing
Ooh
Photographs painting cartoons 
That's all I know
That's all I know

I have one best friend to this very fucking day
Since we were five years old and I fucking moved away
I wish I never did cause she’s the only one who sees me for who I really am instead of how many I reach

Ooh 
Trusted too many fake people while I was still young
Gave them the benefit of the doubt 
I was so wrong
I cut them off and they came for blood cause they know
They ain't getting no more

I’m so done with playing piggy back Ooh
Swear to god I wished y’all all the best Ooh
You’re lying your way to try and gain a piece of me when you could never come close cause I know my destiny
I worked hard for my shit
Put my love in this shit
Now you’re trying to kill my name for some fame
What is this
tried to help you do your shit
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

Now I’m 22 and I've had a crazy year of
Isolation from all the plastic people here 
I can not wait for the day I can finally move away back to New York city where the realest people really stay

Ooh
Spent this whole time writing away my heart and my soul
The people I surround myself with have hearts filled with gold
Love and empathy are things that we hold so close 
Trying to learn and evolve

I’m so done with playing piggy back Ooh
Swear to god I wished y’all all the best Ooh
You’re lying your way to try and gain a piece of me 
when you could never come close cause I know my destiny
I worked hard for my shit
Put my love in this shit
Now you’re trying to kill my name for some fame
What is this
Tried to help you do your shit
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

I’m so done with playing piggy back
Ooh
Swear to god I wished y'all all the best
Ooh
You're lying your way to try and gain a piece of me 
when you could never come close cause I know my destiny

PIGGYBACK

Forget

im so over getting sober

Karma

a year in the making.
prod me
co prod https://soundcloud.com/monkimon
mastered by https://soundcloud.com/prodbybrody

you can not save this
im so far gone
the feeling is mutual
our love can’t last long
and these music notes
all inside of my head
melodies ringing
from what u had said
and i went along
with your stupid games
but i think ive grown
and i cannot play
this song is so toxic
but so is your touch
i write down these lyrics
cuz i cant feel much

wait a minute can we talk about our feelings
and everything we used to be 
right now that youre leaving me

im so fucked up i cannot feel my bones
toxicity running through all of these hoes
cry to myself cuz i can’t fall asleep
i just can’t get no peace
cuz you live in my dreams
living a dream
nah i live in a nightmare
can’t turn the corner
cuz u standing right there
love is so dead it be haunting my room
saw you last night on the couch takin shrooms

i don't wanna move forward
but i dont wanna go unheard 
cuz whatcha get is whatcha see
but im not what you need, baby
