Ashes
So yeah I wanna improve
I wanna improve but these days are cruel and I ain’t got another day to lose
I’m saying save me
I’m sick of this feeling
Please don’t break me
I’m so fragile and I need the time to heal this
I need some time to deal with this
I need a few nights to sit in the shower and cry
Yeah, think about life and nights I wanna die
Then I’ll flash into future times, yeah times that I will rise
From the ashes we will rise until the end
From the ashes we will rise until we break
From the ashes we will rise, theres so much...

Greener Pastures
So let’s talk about life
And nights we were fucked up
Nights we felt let down
Nights on the ground trying to die because we felt so messed up
The times we would sit on the edge of the bed with our heads in our hands
Just wanting someone to talk to so we can let go and we can fess up
Or the times we would sing in the shower
We would scream to the sky hoping that somebody would hear us
When nobody would hear us, we’d sing a little louder like a crowd just hoping to refind some of our lost love
Find some of our lost love or exactly how...
And nights we were fucked up
Nights we felt let down
Nights on the ground trying to die because we felt so messed up
The times we would sit on the edge of the bed with our heads in our hands
Just wanting someone to talk to so we can let go and we can fess up
Or the times we would sing in the shower
We would scream to the sky hoping that somebody would hear us
When nobody would hear us, we’d sing a little louder like a crowd just hoping to refind some of our lost love
Find some of our lost love or exactly how...

Feeling
I ain’t nothing like you
I’m just tryna get by you
I ain’t even like you no more
So yeah, I’m just tryna find me
I’m just tryna like me
I just want you to see me as I want to be seen
Save me from this life of hell and judgement
Tell me you don’t like me
With motions and actions
I ain’t gonna try my best no more
I been so extracted, I been like fucked up
I ain’t gonna cry by myself no more
So save your breathe
Just a little longer
Just save your breathe
A little longer
Because I been feeling so alone ...
I’m just tryna get by you
I ain’t even like you no more
So yeah, I’m just tryna find me
I’m just tryna like me
I just want you to see me as I want to be seen
Save me from this life of hell and judgement
Tell me you don’t like me
With motions and actions
I ain’t gonna try my best no more
I been so extracted, I been like fucked up
I ain’t gonna cry by myself no more
So save your breathe
Just a little longer
Just save your breathe
A little longer
Because I been feeling so alone ...

Lessons in life
They say you don’t know real love until you’ve crossed it
But you don’t know the cost until it costs you
Sacrifice your life and all the in between for a chance at a future that you’re lost in
Arguing facts like they were fiction
I don’t want a new life, I want you to listen
This shit is hard and you’re so far
But all I do is pray for the times it’s okay and for the fixing
So tell me about the sad times
I know you weren’t hooked on drugs, you were hooked on pain
Waiting for the day that there was enough to take it all...
But you don’t know the cost until it costs you

Alight
Yeah I made it through the day
Made it through the night
Made it through the time where all I would wish for was to die
But they took it to me instead
Yeah it didn’t hurt, it was worth
The only thing left for the rest, it was death
But maybe you could reconsider
Maybe we could start again and be less bitter
Maybe we could start again and baby let’s not fight forever
Let’s be more clever, so we can be together
So drop the act and just be mine
Cause’ I know you can shine
Shining like a diamond in the sky
A star...

How to feel
Hanging for that day I never hide, I only seek this
Negativity is a pain, going insane
Slowly realising that optimism is weakness
I could be a martyr, I could go missing
I could say to myself imma be a hero or I could stick around long enough to become a villain
There ain’t no comprehending what I’m gonna do next
I just drink and drive slowly, I’m rolling
No one greeted me when I left, I’m incensed
Trying to make sense of a situation I never knew the meaning of
Trying to make sense of a situation before I lose the plot
Trying to...

Safety
And safety..
Save me safely
Bring me to safety
Raise your voice until I can’t breathe
Then bring it back slowly
Baby save me, baby save me safely
Yeah, pick me up and save me
I’m used to this shit, it doesn’t phase me
Have some pie, eat the pastry
We can talk about life, nights that we’ve died
Tell eachother why we’ve been down lately
It’s tasty but it’s distasteful
My good friend threw me away, it’s so wasteful
Kicked out the door, fuck my own will
Down I fall, time to climb up that hill
Before I fall...
Save me safely
Bring me to safety
Raise your voice until I can’t breathe
Then bring it back slowly
Baby save me, baby save me safely
Yeah, pick me up and save me
I’m used to this shit, it doesn’t phase me
Have some pie, eat the pastry
We can talk about life, nights that we’ve died
Tell eachother why we’ve been down lately
It’s tasty but it’s distasteful
My good friend threw me away, it’s so wasteful
Kicked out the door, fuck my own will
Down I fall, time to climb up that hill

Broken
Now it gets personal
Tryna hold my pain or I’ll burst it all
Been in my bed all night just cryin’
The liquid coming is how I feel, I’m opened and straight up revealed
Sick of this place I just sit in silence
I’ve been selfish, I’ve been helpless, I’ve been broken
My best friend left me behind but I can’t blame her, our times my token
Can’t stop feeling the way I am
Been feeling this way since I was a kid
They tried to tell me it was a sin
But I can’t change this is how I stand
Don’t bother trying to fix me
I’m...

Deteriorate
I’ve got so many words to say
So many thoughts on my brain
Not a lot of things on my plate
But my mind is starting to deteriorate
And I.. Got a lot of words to say, got a lot on my brain, not a lot on my plate..
Might pack up and deteriorate
Might pack up and deteriorate
Yeah, a lot of words to say
I ain’t got a lot of room for hate
But no one wants a room in this state, I can’t take it back or re-rule my fate
Wanna get better but there’s not a lot of space to move
I wanna improve but these days are cruel and I ain’t gotta...

Story
Can I tell you a story?
About times I was grateful, no longer hateful
No craving for more, yeah my heart was made full
Can I tell you a story?
About when I was happy
Young, I was rapping
Simpler life and simpler songs
That’s where I believe that I truly belong
Now I’ll tell you a story about wonderful things
Love, trust and laughter with nights I felt like I had wings
Flying so high
Flying so high, I could touch the sky
Fall down and I’d be alright
Stay up and lapped it all night
Until mornings I’d sleep when...

So high
Floating by, view so good he didn’t know that he was so high
Fucked up on the herb, it’s just one of those nights
That you wanna just go bye
That you wanna just go fly, fly so high, but you’re already so high
Rise and shine, it’s the middle of the night
This shit complicated, tryna make them lose sight
Hiding away so they don’t see the led pipe
That you used to beat yourself because you don’t feel a reason why
Why to live in existence
Why to show this persistence
Meanwhile, they showing resistance while expecting me to show my...
