i know that you are hurting
i'll try my best to stop it
your soul is slowly burning
you're running out of options
i'm breathing in these toxins
betrayed by all of my friends
the pain that you been feeling hurts me bad when i'm who caused it

staring at walls in my spare time
i try to forget all the white lies
maybe for once i could feel fine
where'd i go wrong living my life
i can't forgive what i did back then
i'm still just a kid but soon my story ends

i know that you are hurting
i'll try my best to stop it
i remain a burden
i think that i'm just toxic
i'm breathing in these toxins
i hate the place my mind is
the pain that you been feeling hurts me bad when i'm who caused it

i got way too many problems
i don't need a way to solve em
i don't think that you can stop it 
lemme finish off this bottle
yeah yeah
bitch i came right from the bottom
yeah yeah
bitch i came right from the bottom

the pain that you been feeling hurts me bad when i'm who caused it (prod. nilöwh)

New single with Lullabyboy !

(lyrics)
Time doesn’t heal a broken heart
We only forget where the pain starts
Thats how we made it this far

Yeah that’s reality 
A broken heart will stay 
The same through all these nights
While you’re tryna move away 
From all the memories 
Yeah knowing it won’t change 
That’s reality 
Baby that’s reality  
I just wanna know 
How you made it on your own
Cause I’ve been trying hard 
But it’s hard to grow alone 
Calling up your phone 
Like baby come home 
But this is the reality we chose 

This is the reality we chose
I remember nights where I was alone
I can't see the light
I'm glued to my phone
I do this every time
Nowhere to call home
I need to
I just need to call you
I need you
I don't mind what I lose
I want to
Tell you all I been through
Like you do
Girl just please don't love someone else

Yeah that’s reality 
A broken heart will stay 
The same through all these nights
While you’re tryna move away 
From all the memories 
Yeah knowing it won’t change 
That’s reality 
Baby that’s reality  
I just wanna know 
How you made it on your own
Cause I’ve been trying hard 
But it’s hard to grow alone 
Calling up your phone 
Like baby come home 
But this is the reality we chose 

Codependency always gets the best of me
Cause when you said forever I really did believe
Like why would someone I love lie 
Don’t you know how hard I try 
I’ve been working
I’ve been learning
I’ve been hurting 
But in this life it’s so hard to find my purpose 
I, I just wanna find my good ending 
Reality is setting in 
It’s hard to tell where these feelings begin 
And where they end 

Yeah that’s reality 
A broken heart will stay 
The same through all these nights
While you’re tryna move away 
From all the memories 
Yeah knowing it won’t change 
That’s reality 
Baby that’s reality  
I just wanna know 
How you made it on your own
Cause I’ve been trying hard 
But it’s hard to grow alone 
Calling up your phone 
Like baby come home 
But this is the reality we chose

Lyrics:
wake me up when it’s over
i can’t seem to find a way out
wake me up when it’s over
no one ever taught me how

no one ever taught me how to love
no one ever taught me how to think right
i been fighting but i’ve had enough
moving on till i see a blue sky

all night filling up a glass
pouring out, temporary high
feeling lower than i ever have
i can’t take another sleepless night

no i can’t
see a light
life is pulling me under
i’d rather lay here
under the covers
take one step
and i’m back 16
i don’t wanna be me
i don’t wanna be me
(anymore)

wake me up when it’s over
(when it’s over, it’s over)
i can’t seem to find a way out
(when it’s over, it’s gone)
wake me up when it’s over
(when it’s over, it’s over)
no one ever taught me how

no one ever taught me how to fight
i’m taking shots like a punching bag
doubled over in a parking lot
never thought it would get this bad

no ones ever loved me like you do
i’m pretty sure that includes me
i can’t run, i can’t even move
i’m so sorry i’m so disappointing

but i can’t
see a light
life is pulling me under
i’d rather lay here
under the covers
take one step
and i’m back 16
i don’t wanna be me
i don’t wanna be me
(anymore)

wake me up when it’s over
i can’t seem to find a way out
wake me up when it’s over
no one ever taught me how

wake me up when it's over

lxst boy:
i want the time back that you took from me 
i got blindsighted by your personality 
i tried it all, sent a text and called
with no response cause baby in reality
i been tryna move on
put it in the past and don’t look back 
put you in a song cause im petty like that
pouring out my heart and you don’t text back 

i see you on the other side 
baby don’t you cry
on the dark side
i can’t save your life
oh, baby i tried
i see you on the other side 
baby don’t you cry
on the dark side
i can’t save your life
oh, baby i tried

eric godlow:
i tried
oh, i tried
bully me, its over 
but you haven’t seen the other side
i cant hold you back no more
heart feeling like a flatline
text me back a little more
i’ll put you in the past life
(ldo me wrong)
that’s fine
(or do me dirty)
yeah that’s fine
if you really hated me
you talking back like punchline
you been putting weight on me 
like feeling on my waistline
bitch just save the silly talk
i’m busy in the daytime

lxst boy:
i want the time back that you took from me 
i got blindsighted by your personality 
i tried it all, sent a text and called
with no response cause baby in reality
i been tryna move on
put it in the past and don’t look back 
put you in a song cause im petty like that
pouring out my heart and you don’t text back 

yeah, uh
i wanna have everything that we had that we left in the past
uh, yeah
you wanna throw away everything, girl there’s no taking that back
uh, yeah
you try to pull away, try to say that you got way too attached 
yeah, yeah
you put me on blast cause you think you can take it all back
back to the times when the talks we had never escalated, feel the saturations
i tried to be civil, you’re talking in riddles, your tears are like precipitation, right?
it’s raining, it’s pouring, your lies are distorted, i’m thinking i’m hoping it rains today
pen to the paper, i’ll get to that later, but i’m thinking i’m hoping these chains will break

otherside (feat. Eric Godlow)

This is a stripped-down acoustic ballad built on finger-picked guitar, warm analog textures, and subtle ambient layers. The track opens softly with a delicate, nervous energy—mirroring that quiet tension of the first day back—before gradually building with understated percussion (rim taps, light kick, brushed snare) and gentle steel or slide guitar accents. Vocals are raw and breathy, carrying emotion without being overproduced, letting imperfections speak for the nerves behind the words. The vibe is reflective and steady, around 70 BPM in a minor key (Am or Dm), staying honest and vulnerable. It’s a song for those who overthink everything but still show up. A relatable blend of anxiety, courage, and quiet hope, this track resonates with anyone who’s ever returned to routine while battling the jitters beneath the surface.

First Day Back (Got the Jitters)

Dealing with trials and illness or other trauma can feel like a cage you can't get out of.

Too Late When It’s Too Late

pick up the phone baby
where you at, baby?
are you alone, baby?
said you weren't home, baby?

who's this man in my apartment?
what's he doin' here?
thought you were out with your friends
whatcha doing here?

you want the fame and the whip
you want the money and shit
i play along just for kicks
i play along just for kicks
but now she got me so whipped, yuh

now she got gold on her wrist
diamonds and gold on her wrist
how does she thank me for this?
goes out and treats me like shit
i gave her too much for this

said she want everything new
so that's what i do
i got her the coupe
house with a view
a million? got two
but she's not amused 

she's not amused
it's nothing new
always so used
always so used
it's nothing new
it's nothing new

it's nothing new
it's nothing new

pick up the phone, baby
i've felt alone lately
can we meet up, maybe?
you acting so shady

i just wanna make love like we used to
hit my line, and tell me when you know i'll come thru

anything you want, baby girl i can provide
thought she want my love, she just want the dollar signs
diamonds in her eyes, from her mouth, only lies
she just want the fame, it should come as no surprise

nothing new

i dont really want no new friends
i dont really want no new benz
i just wanna see what happens
i just wanna see what happens

tears in my eyes

Lyrics:
// I’m Geist 
I’m a dreamer 
And you’re a nightmare, 
Can you wake me up,
Because I’m starting to feel so scared
Darkness suffocating everything, I don’t care 
But then I see you getting caught in the crosshairs

Stay away,
Hearts don’t break themselves, oh no
I’m afraid,
I’ll Isolate myself, you know
But I just want to feel,
Like I’m worth my weight in gold
But I just want to feel,
Like my heart isn’t cold

Leave me alone
I’m skin and bones 
You out my flame and now it’s so cold
Leave me alone 
You took my heart and my soul
But now you’re searching for something more

// Kaiyko 
Tell me what I’m suppose to do right now without you here
Don’t make me go crawl back in that hole for another year
Okay 
I get what you mean when you say you’ve got somethings to do
Well baby don’t you think it’s time that you finally proved yourself to me after all the things you said
And I’m not holding onto anything but you know I still dread
The fact that you might run away and I’ll be on my own again
And I know I’m not the only one that hates losing their only friend

Leave me alone w/ kaiyko (Prod. TNVR)

music heals </3
thank you for caring.
