lyrics
i was so impatient
now there’s more room for thought
i’m learning to not fall as easily,

practicing to broaden my mind,
and closing my eyes
to recite at varying times
sweet delicate lines

maybe i’m changing
maybe i’m changing for better

i’m full of my own intents
now that i’m clear of distractions
i’m yearning for a possibility

of being known as someone who smiled
at some point in time
and it took a couple of tries
but the neighbors always thought to be nice

maybe i’m changing
maybe i’m changing for better

For Better (feat. Community Swimming Pool)

Lyrics: 
grey feathers
kept coming into your sight
lost your hours
and couldn’t get one sleep right

burn the lifeless letters
read the deep end, it’ll make them shatter
believe and take the center
and make no sense of mindless matters

eyes wide
borrow from your know how
southbound
it’ll save you from your old town
mayflowers
let’s roll out when she’s nearby

time’s now
borderline is worn out
southbound
it’ll save you from what’s next to you
mayflowers
let’s roll out when she’s nearby

bared with the seasoned and
spared and it deepened
within breezes
all long overdone
you can tell him to keep it
regain your weekends

eyes wide
borrow from your know how
southbound
it’ll save you from your old town
mayflowers
let’s roll out when she’s nearby

time’s now
borderline is worn out
southbound
it’ll save you from what’s next to you
mayflowers
let’s roll out when she’s nearby

burn the lifeless letters
read the deep end, it’ll make them shatter
believe and take the center
and make no sense of mindless matters

Brighter Days Are Ahead of You!

Mayflowers

Lyrics:

Lying to fake
the comfort of home
Hoping to shake
shivers unknown

Lift it away
Promise me I’ll be fine
Like the white bird on 59th street

Sadly awaken
in the midst of non-stopping light traces
And I’m sadly forsaken
in the midst of a clutter of stations
So help me now
Return back to me
Let me hold you and kiss you and love

Bluestone remains
Not everything stays
Shouldn’t complain
but I feel restrained

Please do explain
Promise me I’ll be fine
Like the white bird on 59th street

Sadly awaken
in the midst of non-stopping light traces
And I’m sadly forsaken
in the midst of a clutter of stations
So help me now
Return back to me
Let me hold you and kiss you and love

Fly, cry, abandoned
Fly, cry, abandoned
x 4

Sadly awaken
in the midst of non-stopping light traces
And I’m sadly forsaken
in the midst of a clutter of stations
So help me now
Return back to me
Let me hold you and kiss you and love

Lift it away
Promise me I’ll be fine
Like the white bird on 59th street

59th Street

I Don't Want to Say Good Night

The Hidden Shelf is a solo musical project I am working on. 

The reason behind the name is because I have yet to share my work so far with most of my close friends. I don't care if they manage to find them at one point, but when they do, I hope for the experience to feel like they've found, at the least, an okay book or an artwork or what have you from a "hidden shelf" in a corner. 

Also available on Spotify (open.spotify.com/album/4u5DDbVAGftueQTJujVqGJ?si=Q6n0UedQRjiqCMqIByYLoQ) and Apple Music/iTunes.
