​It started off cool Madly in love like two fools We didn't think about it, we didn't have rules Fire in our hearts, and we're burning all the fuel smoking til we drop, until the sun's up Coppin' all them bitches, thought we never gonna stop You're the Vincent of my Jules where the flying fuck is Wallace (what?) nothing really matters when we got love and dollas It's downhill from here You started making rules I didn't want to adhere We were havin fun but you wanted to steer away from all the things we love, and downshift a gear When things turned sour, I always find escape On every crunch hour, you were always late You wanted me to wait, while I'm doing all the grind You thought that I left but you're the first to leave me behind HOOK: I'll be okay I have to find myself to be a better girl I don't even know where to start again, pourin through a pen, feelings that I went through then Asked myself, when will I get over? Searching everywhere just to look for answers Finding myself up on witching hours Burning things up that we once called "ours" Fuck this shit, I don't care anymore Hand me the gun, and close the door HOOK: I'll be okay I have to find myself to be a better girl

I’m used to doing solo flights Getting up for my own fight Livin’ this worry-free life, drinkin’ beers ’til sunrise Catchin’ the last train, everything was alright I get home, get comfortable All is dull, but I feel casual I’ve been livin’ alone for a really long time Then you came along HOOK: You got me thinking, how this will end ‘Cause when I’m with you, I don’t pretend Is this a daydream, is it real? It’s unfamiliar, how this feels I used to sleep not scared of tomorrow It has been nice not knowing what I don’t know Now everything to me feels like a slow-mo I am catching on my breath, I’m on a limbo This is crazy, what it is that you got me Colors that I see, I haven’t seen this dazzlin’ Is this how it feels like when you’re dyin’? What is it that I’m feelin’?

​HOOK: But you're not in my arms, I'll see you in another life (see you in another life) Meant to be separated by destiny No matter where this ends, I'll have you for eternity I'll wake up from this dream And our worlds are not apart (our worlds are not apart) Just one night full of reveries Engraved in our memories Momentary sweet serendipity FOSSILS: It was a warm night, we met after daylight Under the moonlight, spendin’ time flyin high/ The sight of you makes me smile the way you look at me with those eyes Chest thumping loudly singing lullabies Frequencies align perfectly to harmonize Swifting through space moving to paradise Penny for your thoughts, are you up to catalyse? Full spectrum, days whiter with emotions Every tint, every shade, colorful commotion within my chest is an explosion Tryna hide inside my crust, a melting pot reaction Hotter than a thousand suns, stronger than its pull Eluding gravity, we can make our love rule Locked in space, lost in time with the stars We'll be moving from quarks to quasars KENSA: Can you feel the heart kickstart your adrenaline? The fiery impulse pulsates that we undress again I'll make you feel tonight's your noble coronation When we connect the dots to trace our love's constellation FOSSILS Your stare ignite flames makin nights brighter Spark in your gaze, candours fire on cylinders KENSA Our romantic tale is promised 'til the end Until the universe collapses and it reverses back into another big bang HOOK: But you're not in my arms, I'll see you in another life (see you in another life) Meant to be separated by destiny No matter where this ends, I'll have you for eternity I'll wake up from this dream And our worlds are not apart (our worlds are not apart) Just one night full of reveries Engraved in our memories Momentary sweet serendipity KENSA: Started as some bubble-blowin kids in the sandbox Separated by their own fates in a padlock They say that true love can conquer the test of time I'll be searchin for the capsule that can travel to your present Unravel all the magic in your lips Taste the words of your penmanship and seal it with a kiss You can be my sweetheart, I can be your bitterbrain A swish of neon colours in the canvas that you fingerpaint Baby, it's progression in the symphony Where every note is played with perfection from memory At the touch of the flesh, our bodies interlace I'm cuddling your heart with all the stars in the Milky Way We agreed to be the victims of the poetry Fingers interlocked, supernova in your ovaries Delve into a shared lucid dream together Where we bend the laws of physics and the rules that restrict us FOSSILS: We’ll make our dreams our reality I will hold your hand, through infinity Take you to places that haven’t existed when we feel tired and exhausted KENSA: Reachin for the stars, what we have is eternal I would hold up the whole sky just to make you feel better FOSSILS I’m done counting my cards I give you myself, whole nine yards HOOK: But you're not in my arms, I'll see you in another life (see you in another life) Meant to be separated by destiny No matter where this ends, I'll have you for eternity I'll wake up from this dream And our worlds are not apart (our worlds are not apart) Just one night full of reveries Engraved in our memories Momentary sweet serendipity

​Clinking glasses of martinis and champagne Laughter resonating across the room they go insane Bodies shakin bouncin with the tempo of the beat Sweat drippin but they keep on groovin, fuck the heat Dark room illuminated by their bright eyes Ice on their neck, their nose, and their golden chalice Exchanging kisses with unfamiliar faces Hazy, dazy, they don't give a fuck what day it is (No No No) I want to join the fun, but there's comfort in a corner (No No No) Will I have the same smile like those on the dance floor? (No No No) Attracted by neon lights, dreaming on drunken nights (No No No) I wanna be in jive, but my moves are out of step So get your groove on, show your moves son Crank the volume up, let the bass thump your lungs Sway your hips left and right, let it go, do the grind The night is young, free your mind. Everything will be alright. (Pa-pa-para-pa) Let me have a bite, Let me have a bite on those lies (Pa-pa-para-pa) Plastering a smile, while the truth is in disguise The hang over, they try to forget Running through their system mixed feelings they regret Warm bodies turned to fuck buddies, can't digest Without the smoke, it's a fleeting feeling, doesn't last Danced til the break of dawn, with a different beat Ingesting numbers rather than hennys, crises and gin Morning has a different groove than the fantasy Last night feels like a fiction, like a movie (No No No) I want to join the fun, but there's comfort in a corner (No No No) Will I have the same smile like those on the dance floor? (No No No) Attracted by neon lights, dreaming on drunken nights (No No No) I wanna be in jive, but my moves are out of step So get your groove on, show your moves son Crank the volume up, let the bass thump your lungs Sway your hips left and right, let it go, do the grind The night is young, free your mind. Everything will be alright. (Pa-pa-para-pa) Let me have a bite, Let me have a bite on those lies (Pa-pa-para-pa) Plastering a smile, while the truth is in disguise Closin them lights you are lost Throwin everything but at what cost You and the night star-crossed Dreams of glitz and glamour dies in permafrost Fuck the party, fuck the fame Burn it with the black flame of your shame You only have yourself to blame for your games Sit the fuck down I am ready with the aim Spray, spray, spray it Empty the whole fucking clip (ya) Bullets goin through your brainless skull Splatter pink matter on the dance floor Spray, spray, spray it Empty the whole fucking clip (ya) Killin vibes by killin lies I'mma killin lives serve as killin guides (whoa) (Yah yah yah) Don't wanna join the fun, cause there's comfort in a corner (Yah yah yah) Wouldn't have the same smile like those on the dance floor! (Yah yah yah) Blinded by neon lights, dying on drunken nights (Yah yah yah) Don't wanna be in jive with you I'll do my own moves and steps I'll get my groove on, look at my moves son The volume's not enough, the bass ain't deep enough to thump Leave the room left and right, end it all and do the grind The night is dark, ain't getting young. Everything is not alright (Pa-pa-para-pa) Go and have a bite, Go and have a bite on those lies (Pa-pa-para-pa) Plastering a smile, while the truth is hurting you inside (Pa-pa-para-pa) x2

​Have you looked at yourself in the mirror, tryna make sense of all the noise you've been hearin? Look into my eyes and see I'm disturbed, voices in my head are screamin' I've been meaning to get out of this place, get out of this curb Get out of this daze, my days are absurd I'd tried to recoup, but the world is a mess Worse than my head, and it's adding more stress Do you ever feel like you're watching everything while your body's dead, but your head's floating and you feel like the world's unfolding but you're falling behind? You can't seem to follow, you're stuck in a bind that you did yourself, trying to undo, reachin' out for help But everything you do, takes you back from the start again Then you realize, you're stuck, never reach the end Lookin at the mirror, have you asked yourself "where to begin?" Trying to stop an eruption Underneath my skin is corruption From afar, I've been gazing at these people concealed with masks of laughter, makes me wonder what they're hidin' Must be something terrifyin What is it that they feel? Running 'round in circles, chasing idols, they don't know what is real Then it goes, and it goes, and it goes Everyday, they follow after ghosts They be acting like they're going with the flow (but) it's all for show, it's all for show Trying to stop an eruption Underneath my skin is corruption HOOK: It's all the same Trying to escape this wretched loop It's all a dream, and it's too late

HOOK: You want it all You want it now You want it fast and quick You want it instant All you wanted was to fucking click To fucking click (aye) 4x You mothafucka think everything is so easy Writin weak rhymes, dressin up like Yeezy Actin like a bitch to get the nods in a breeze-y Machiavellian game, but your team is losin You like big numbers but you never do math You're a downward slope when I write you in a graph You wonder why you're laughed at? You're a fucking joke You can choke on your delusions of grandiose And you boast, like you own all of these You’re nothing but a pesky disease Faker than your peers, they’re plastic Everything you do is inorganic You think you're hot but you're not so better shut the fuck up, bitch Suckin up like a leech to get some credit so you better shut the fuck up bitch Before you start yappin, go write a full album Stop talkin bout stars you're not fucking sagan So why are you frontin?

So quit with the bitchin, the world's not forgiving HOOK: You want it all You want it now You want it fast and quick You want it instant All you wanted was to fucking click To fucking click (aye) 4x

​WYP: So, its been a while since I thought about this deeply I've put this off long enough You gotta, you gotta, listen to me clearly I finally wanna get off this road Ain't stickin no more with someone who's slowing me down I heard you loud and clear That I ain't who I used to be, I guess that's true, but how the fuck is that my fault That my growth made u feel like I left you, Aren't you supposed to grow too? Holdin' your hand, so I could share the weight you been carryin' I never hesitated 'til you decided to not move at all, wasn't that your call? FOSSILS: You stepped into my world full of expectations Built an image suited to your desires and vision Tryna morph me to a person under your directions But why do I feel like I do not know where I’m goin' I’m chasin, and chasin', when you said you were stayin' You’re ahead of the race, where I’m not participating Dust on my face, while you poppin bottles of champagne I sit on the bench, watching you, the highlight of the game And now you telling me that you’re leaving for the best of us? I know you’re leaving me cus you think that I’m a hindrance Paperweight, keepin you from flyin to much greater heights Hesitate? but whenever I try, I don’t really suffice We’ve made it this far, and travelled so long Had a pause while I’m in pain that you watched to prolong Now I am lost in this unfamiliar road How do I get back to take off all the fucking load HOOK (FOSSILS): Bye, I’m never gonna see you again (never gonna see you again 2x) Bye, never thought that last night’s gonna be the end (was gonna be the end) (gonna be the end, gonna, gonna, gonna be the end) BEDSETTLER: We were alone on our We were alone on our We were alone on our We were alone on our own We are all alone You were alone on your You were alone on your You were alone on your You were alone on your own We had everything in place Now we couldnt believe its all gone Lately, craving for you badly Crazy, to think that you said maybe Wouldn't want anything else Your touch, your kiss on me Everything made sense When will i get to feel this way again HOOK (FOSSILS): Bye, I’m never gonna see you again (never gonna see you again 2x) Bye, never thought that last night’s gonna be the end (was gonna be the end) (gonna be the end, gonna, gonna, gonna be the end)

about

​It feels like 10 years of my life has been compressed into one. This year has been an emotional roller coaster. From immersing myself to a whole new scene, getting to know new sets of friends, dealing with depression, and getting my heart broken over and over. Taking long drags, and trying to light up something that we are holding on to until it fails — and then maybe, we try again... like a badly burned cigarette.

From the bottom of my heart, with all the happiness and sorrows...we’ll be okay.
