Lyrics:
Branches grow from my face
Out of the knot in my forehead
When you’re close to me 

Won’t you tell me?
What do you need
To feel free?
To feel free


And what if you can’t get it from me?
What does it mean?
‘Cuz I tried everything
And it still doesn’t changed a thing

 it still doesn’t changed a thing
 it still doesn’t changed a thing


Failure
Is all I see
Everytime I look into the mirror
With your eyes that you kindly lent me
Is this what I’m supposed to be?
Is this what you want from me?
Tell me, what your need?

Help me understand what I’m doing wrong
I hope, I can meet your expectations

And what if you can’t get it from me?
What does it mean?
‘Cuz I tried everything
And it still doesn’t changed a thing

 it still doesn’t changed a thing
 it still doesn’t changed a thing

WHAT'S YOUR NEED? [music video in description]

single

shadow

going insane
you dont want me to remain
i feel the same
id cast myself straight into the flame

i cant contain
this shit is getting hard to blame
on everyone
responsibility just isnt fun
cant go anymore

wasting my life for another high
cant go back to where i got left behind
wasting my time stuck inside my head
chose wrong when the option is flight or fright

look at me
isnt self destruction what u want to see
im not done
im dragging names down into the ground

its all my fault
dont blame me i also want me gone
live in misery
u just wanna see me squirm

im so fucking done
lead into my skull
get me out right now
get me out this town

no attempt to fix my life

Lyrics:

Dear Johnny tell me I’m wrong
but I heard you’re drug slangin’
Pops mad he kicked you out cold
and I can’t blame him at all

Fifteen no sense of direction
walking with a zip in the hallway
Skippin’ school and getting fucked up
I don’t know why you do these things

Dear Johnny
Dear Johnny
I hope you clean things up
Dear Johnny 
Dear Johnny
Oh shit you got suspended again?

Meet me in the bathroom stall
I got uppers I got downers I got poles I got everything
Johnny is my name and I’m fucked
I grew up in the burbs but im juggin’ out the crib like 
Walt

Pour me up a six class
Everybody think I’m lame but they hit me up to cop some drugs
All I ever wanted was love
All I ever wanted was a place to belong

Fast forward now I’m getting searched
I think the pigs don’t dig my swagger man
Mouths ran and I got expelled 
I really thought they had my back 

And that bitch fucked a different plug
All I wanted was a sweet I love you doll
Lil’ Johnny there’s no time for prom
Lil’ Johnny went and got arrested 

Dear Johnny
Dear Johnny
I hope you clean things up
Dear Johnny 
Dear Johnny
Oh so you’re in jail now?

Meet me in the bathroom stall
I got uppers I got downers I got poles I got everything
Johnny is my name and I’m fucked
I grew up in the burbs but im juggin’ out the crib like 
Walt

Pour me up a six class
Everybody think I’m lame but they hit me up to cop some drugs
All I ever wanted was love
All I ever wanted was a place to belong

Dear Johnny tell me I’m wrong
but I heard you’re drug slangin’
Pops mad he kicked you out cold
and I can’t blame him at all

Fifteen no sense of direction
walking with a zip in the hallway
Skippin’ school and getting fucked up
I don’t know why you do these things

the story of johnny (no time for prom)

Lyrics:

How many chances do I get
For you to pull me down again
Move to a place inside my head
Falling away from where I stand

I got caught chasing loose ends
You brought me further away from them
Feet on the ground and it all made sense

That I need something
That's out of reach from me
So just hold on back looking through the gaps and you'll see
What's been missing

And then it gets to me
Walls closing in, slowly
Then it's hard to breathe I will try and think of the things
We could be

I spent too long on broken things
By now it's probably killing me
Stare at the mirror never blink
The things I didn't want to see

You're scared to talk about your dreams
I'm scared I'll mess up everything
Wash down my worries go to sleep

That I need something
That's out of reach from me
So just hold on back looking through the gaps and you'll see
What's been missing

And then it gets to me
Walls closing in slowly
Then it's hard to breathe I will try and think of the things
We could be

Flares

Lyrics:

You gotta get off the alcohol, or you’re nothing, you’re nothing
You don’t know why you smell so bad, and you’re ugly
Gotta get off the alcohol, or you’re nothing, you’re nothing
Gonna get thrown in Alcatraz and raped in the ass

Once a day, every day
Crack open a few beers
Time to see, will I be
The biggest phaggot of the year?

I gotta bottle of wine, that’s not really mine
I don’t care whose it is, it makes me feel fine
Spend all my time drinking alone
Restless spirit, I got an itch in my bone

I don’t care what people say, or if they think I’m gay
I, oh I
I’m a head case and space cadet spacey as hell

You gotta get off the alcohol, you loser, you loser
Don’t know why you suck at work and you’re stupid
Gotta get off the alcohol you loser, you loser
Can’t come up with ideas anymore, and slurring your speech

When I’m gone, who will care
Was there anything there?
When I croak, will I choke
On my dead collapsing lungs?

I’ve drank and smoked my life right into the ground
And I’ve been known to buy my drugs by the pound
Sometimes it seems I  hate everyone
Sometimes I wonder if I’m having any fun

I don’t care what people think
Or if my dick does stink
I, oh I
I wonder if I feel anything at all

You gotta get off the alcohol you phaggot, you phaggot
You only shower once a week and you’re ugly
Gotta get off the alcohol you phaggot, you phaggot
Things have gone from bad to worse, 
And they’ll get worse fast

Da Da Da, Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da, Da
Da Da Da, Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da, Da

Gotta Get Off

This track is inspired by my favourite J-Rock bands like Asian Kung Fu Generation and One Ok Rock, with a metal twist at the end 💀
