What Lies Behind

Verse 1:
And now I write as I lay
Wondering why we’re here tonight                                                                                                                        
There’s something missing inside
My smile went away for a while
 
Verse 2:
It’s getting colder and colder
Whenever I think that you hold her
You tell me things I wanna hear
But that’s not enough cuz you won’t stay here
 
Chorus 1:
Oh please tell me what lies behind those lines
You can tell me what’s going on your mind
If this is wrong then I just want to
 
Verse 3:
We kissed and missed our forever
You think this isn’t over
But you tell me that you love her
Oh what the hell
 
Chorus 2:
Oh please tell me what lies behind those lines
You can tell me what’s going on your mind
If this is wrong then I just want to
If this is wrong then I just wanna get by
If this is wrong then I just wanna let go
 
I just wanna let you go and see you smile


What Lies Behind

(final track, Karma Zero EP)

I just wanna slow down,
I just wanna slow down with you,
feel the world twisting like a tourniquet
'til we don't feel anything anymore—
we won't even breathe,

'cause if we breathe we might start an avalanche,
and every move the consequence could be tectonic,
every ripple, every echo that led us to each other
can be traced through causality,
can be broken by us—

slow down, I just wanna slow down with you,
feel the world twisting like a tourniquet
'til we don't feel anything anymore,
until we forget what we slowed down for,
we won't even breathe

Tectonic

Kai Honasan’s “I Should’ve Left” seems intent on pursuing an emotional imprint that moves beyond the quirky, ukulele-driven confessionals that have always been her trademark. Few minutes into the song, Kai makes us curl up in a ball of agonizing regret, rendering a sentimental folk-pop ballad for anxious, sleepless nights spent trying to get over an ex-lover.

 There’s no room for elaborate arrangements that call for attention, no hint of heavy-handed brood for the sake of drama. Even when Kai wants us to feel her pain, she carries in tow the laid-back airy vocals that complement the quiet , rainy-day mood served at the balcony of her window—subdued minus the unnecessary sappiness. It’s a striptease of what to expect from someone ready to chop off her hair and try something new and vulnerably daring, if not a completely departure from her safety net. We’re definitely sold.

Stay

You've given up on this
I've given up on love
You bought a ticket to the exit
While I bought a key away from you heart

I'm here lying down
Resting my tired and weary heart
Photographs of us covered in dust
I wonder where you are
Wondering where we went

I guess it's time to leave it all
I guess that I was wrong

I said we'll go far
But now I don't even give a fuck calling you out
Paintings on the wall
Were they yours?
I can't recall. But thanks.
Cause you were never always there

I guess it's time to leave it all
You took my heart with a grain of salt
I thought that I could wait no matter how long
I guess that I was wrong

Cool?

Why should I do this?
