From John Frusciante’s debut album Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt. This album inspired me to buy my first 4 track, start recording music and experiment with sound. I always wanted to play this song when I was a teenager, I took my best shot, as for chords and words, who really knows!

Mascara (John Frusciante)

Hook:
Holdin back holdin back 
This ain’t right I’m snap 
It’s a wrap it’s a wrap 
Shit I’m done that is that 

You won’t ever understand me 
No You never fuckin tried 
You were never really truthful 
Yea you always fuckin lied 

Puttin me through hell And the writings on the wall 
You were nothing but a burden to me put me through it all 

You won’t ever understand me 
No You never fuckin tried 
You were never really truthful 
Yea you always fuckin lied 

Verse
Tell me what you know about me 
Not what’s on the surface 
Just cuz you were in my life 
Doesn’t mean you served your purpose 

Yea you know there’s much more to it 
But you never gon admit it 
Just cuz you my family 
Doesn’t mean you were committed 

Put myself In therapy can man you fuckin scarin me 
don’t know how to talk to you don’t ever say ur there for me 
insulting it’s a shame sending shots up to my brain 
I don’t fuck around with people pleasin  know I’m not the same 

Prechorus Break

Hook:
Holdin back holdin back 
This ain’t right I’m snap 
It’s a wrap it’s a wrap 
Shit I’m done that is that 

You won’t ever understand me 
No You never fuckin tried 
You were never really truthful 
Yea you always fuckin lied 

Puttin me through hell And the writings on the wall 
You were nothing but a burden to me put me through it all 

You won’t ever understand me 
No You never fuckin tried 
You were never really truthful 
Yea you always fuckin lied

WRITING ON THE WALL (prod. Cxlvin)

Clouded judgement and past mistakes 
Made me who I thought I would be today 

Painful deep thoughts caused a hurricane 
If it weren’t for you babe I would never be this way 

I could never be this way of it weren’t for you babe 
I would always walk alone now I’m holding your hand 
Tired brain but sleepless nights that was always my pain 
you were there to pick me up now ur part of my plans

Now ur part of my life
Now we life the high life 
I was on the sidelines 
Now I’m in the lime light 

Can’t be stuck in hindsight
Our future is so bright 
I roll over at night 
To see you there by my side 

I was helpless before you came and picked me up
I was hopeless before you came and swooped me up 

Out of my mind 
Out of my brain 
Not myself 
Not the same 
X2

Now I’ve changed 
Now I’m different 
Now I’m me 
Now I’m lifted 
X2

I would always switch up 
I could never face it 
My face in the mirror 
I never recognized it

Something always told me 
You’ll find the answers at home
Little did I know that 
The answer was on my phone 

simple texts go a long way where ur all alone 
Room full of people but I always felt so cold 
Until you walked up and me with a warm embrace 
Who knew the perfect girl had the prettiest face 

I was helpless before you came and picked me up
I was hopeless before you came and swooped me up 

Out of my mind 
Out of my brain 
Not myself 
Not the same 
X2

Now I’ve changed 
Now I’m different 
Now I’m me 
Now I’m lifted 
X2

Worldwide (BTR Cover prod. IOF) - Bonus Track

Verse:
Stupid brain with stupid problems
You could never feel my pain 
Stuck in my head on repeat 
I can never run away 

You could never see what I see
You could never be what I be
at night I cry silently 
Cuz no one ever seems to get me

I’ve been broken I’ve been hurt 
I’ve been crawling out the dirt 
I’ve been singing I’ve been writing 
Every single day I’m fighting 

Ive been clinging onto you 
I give you all my problems too
I have no one else that I can lean on
You can see all that I’ve become 

A shell of myself I was before 
All in my head that’s for sure 
When nothing ever seems to matter 
You just cheer me up with laughter 

You fight for me and put me first 
These issues I just can deter 
My mental health is in the mud 
You just try to clean it up 

I’ve been ill
I’ve been sick 
These demons they cling to it

I just fucked it up to night 
My drunk ass just picked a fight 
Now I’m shaking panickin
My scars feel better when you kiss them 
I just fucked it up tonight
I just fucked it up tonight 

Hook:
Muddy waters build a bridge 
Help me just get over it 
Sinking ships with damages 
My ship is sinking anchor it
X2

Help meeee
Help me find reality 
Help meee
Help me keep my sanity 
I can’t do this alone my dear
I can’t do this without you here 
I need to talk I need your ear 
I needed you girl all these years

Hook:
Muddy waters build a bridge 
Help me just get over it 
Sinking ships with damages 
My ship is sinking anchor it
X2

I just fucked it up to night 
My drunk ass just picked a fight 
Now I’m shaking panickin
My scars feel better when you kiss them 
X2

SINKING SHIPS (prod. Ryini)

Verse 1:
I would never
Leave you there all by yourself 
We could weather
Any storm ahead of ourselves 

Your pink sweatshirt
Always reminds me of when 
We met girl 
That was the start of the end 

Of all of my silly games 
And hanging out with lames 
And sleeping in my clothes 
From the drunk night before 

Picked up the microphone 
Right now to let you know 
You saved me from the hoes 
I’ll give you all I owe


Pre chorus:
I am from outer space 
The super human race 
I’ll always keep you safe
When we go far away 

You kiss me on my face 
And you just love the taste 
Our lives are sealed by fate
If love is all it takes 

HOOK:
I feel like Peter Pan 
We’ll be forever young 
I’ll fly you far away 
Until we see the sun 
X2

Until we see the sun 
We never will be done 
We’re always having fun 
And sleeping in till one 

They never have to know 
We never have to tell 
All the shit we did 
And how you cast a spell 

To change me all around 
Into a better man 
I feel way better now 
I feel like Peter Pan 

Pre chorus:
I am from outer space 
The super human race 
I’ll always keep you safe
When we go far away 

You kiss me on my face 
And you just love the taste 
Our lives are sealed by fate
If love is all it takes 

HOOK:
I feel like Peter Pan 
We’ll be forever young 
I’ll fly you far away 
Until we see the sun

PETER PAN (prod. IOF)

Verse
I don’t wanna break up I don’t wanna leave 
I want you here next to me 
But it’s hard for me to see 
How this world isn’t better off without me 

I don’t wanna go no I just wanna stay 
But I keep pushing you away 
It’s hard for me to watch you break 
When it’s my fault yea every day 

I just want you here with me 
But I got toxicity 
Suicidal thoughts it’s hard to breathe 
But I got down on one knee 

Sometimes I think I gotta go 
You’d be better off without me home 
But something always keeps me here 
I have to say it’s you my dear 

Prechorus
I can’t let you go 
I can’t let you roll 
I just need you around 
All I do is let you down 

I can’t do this all alone 
I just need your hand to hold 
Mine is gone I need your soul 
Mine is gone I need your soul

Hook:
Think about how much better the world would be if it were without me 

Think about how much more of the world you’d see if you were without me 

scorpio verse:
Would you be happier, if I weren't here?
If it's best for you, I'd disappear 
Don't want to be a weight on your shoulders
Even if means not having you while getting older
I'm so scared, I'm fucking petrified 
I can't lose the love of my life

Prechorus
I can’t let you go 
I can’t let you roll 
I just need you around 
All I do is let you down 

I can’t do this all alone 
I just need your hand to hold 
Mine is gone I need your soul 
Mine is gone I need your soul

Hook:
Think about how much better the world would be if it were without me 

Think about how much more of the world you’d see if you were without me

In the sheets throw it back yeah toss it

SAVE ME (prod. NiNETY8)

Under fire under siege from all of your demons
Under water crashing waves your swimming I can see it 
Fighting for your life 
From what you hear inside 
The voices can’t stay quiet 
I can see it in your eyes 

Everythings fucked up in there I just wanna save you 
It’s hard when you are crying I just know what to do 
You’re safe with me I promise 
I got your back I’m honest
I won’t let this stop us 
I got you in my harness

I don’t know what you are thinking
X2

Take a step back 
Slowing it down 
You just need to breathe babe 

Feeling that hurt 
Feeling that burn 
Just hold onto me babe 

Running away 
It’s moving too fast 
I’ll help you escape babe 

Take a step back
Slowing it down
You just need to breathe babe 
X2

Sleepless nights 
Tossing turning 
Foggy mind 
Always working 

Freaking out  
You don’t feel good 
Helped you out 
As much as I could 

Nothing i can do 
You feel like a fool 
Theres nothing I can do

I can take ur place
I can take your pain
I’d walk ten miles in your shoes

I don’t know what you are thinking
X2

Take a step back 
Slowing it down 
You just need to breathe babe 

Feeling that hurt 
Feeling that burn 
Just hold onto me babe 

Running away 
It’s moving too fast 
I’ll help you escape babe 

Take a step back
Slowing it down
You just need to breathe babe 
X2
