Daydream 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Ideal places in my head Perfect scenarios Motion pictures starring myself And I always smile at the end Those simulations make me forget Some of my issues But then I also forget to live I don't want those movies to end Make daydreaming become reality Make the present the place you want to be The workdays give me some stress All days are alike to me Way different from the dreams I had Will this arch come to an end? During the weekends, I can't relax My mind has to find a way To be the legacy I wish I was Can this pressure come to an end? Make daydreaming become reality Make the present the place you want to be No expectations, or self-oppression, just hopes Underneath the dirt, there's a way to find the gold Life is never like what we expect to be But there are times we need to learn to see real beauty Not all that glistens is gold And if we're walking, we may stumble upon something we didn't know we needed Make daydreaming become reality Make the present the place you want to be No expectations, or self-oppression, just hopes Underneath the dirt, there's a way to find the gold

Bodyguard 03:27
lyrics

Don't let me here to take some sleep You're aware of the yard I'll be safe because you care for me Always my bodyguard You can be a little paranoid Talking about every little risk I'm taking You wish I'd always be coy But to live life we can't be always on safety I'm always listening to you, don't worry Trying to learn from the past catastrophes But when you don't let me go not a little bit My mind and body will get atrophied We both know which mountain I'm able to climb And which heights I can fall and still survive The reasons I'd want to be on trending The times I got myself hurt while raining We have no choice, we need each other I need the breaks, and you need the pilot You're willing to care for me as a mother Without letting me go, I won't grow There were days I wouldn't leave bed Imagining every way I could get hurt I would not sleep, I would not eat Impotence feelings made me weak But the world isn't made of superheroes Are build by the most human of creatures So if I'm willing to leave my mark Wrong or right, just let me try We both know which mountain I'm able to climb Which heights I can fall and still survive The reasons I'd want to be on trending The times I got myself hurt while raining We have no choice, we need each other I need the breaks, and you need the pilot You're willing to care for me as a mother But without letting me go, I won't grow This is not a break-up song Or me saying that you're fired It's just a way we can sing along We can work together without a riot Don't let me here to take some sleep You're aware of the yard I'll be safe because you care for me Always my bodyguard

Party of Me 03:31
lyrics
buy track
The world can be a huge party I feel I'm not invited But people called me The biggest gatherings of my life don't feel that exciting Early in the morning I've been looking at my own trash expecting shining things While dusting the furniture without looking at my trophies I'm not perfect, thus I don't know "perfect" yet But I still have time to spare I want to be brave enough to show my dance moves to the world Enough self-hate, I should never let my heart and soul get cold I'm dancing with my eyes closed Dancing in my comfy clothes Improvising as I go Just to let you know Dancing to the silly notes Putting fire in the snow Making noises as I go Just to let you know I can suddenly stop moving, go perfectly static Sometimes I feel old Too busy to get rid of the junk I keep in the attic Memories got mold Running from the past just made its monsters more realistic And instead of growing I just fed my biggest critic I'm not perfect, thus I don't know "perfect" yet But I have poor rhymes to share I want to be brave enough to show my dance moves to the world Enough self-hate, I should never let my heart and soul get cold I'm dancing with my eyes closed Dancing in my comfy clothes Improvising as I go Just to let you know Dancing to the silly notes Putting fire in the snow Making noises as I go Just to let you know This party was never mine in first place It doesn't mean I can't have a great time I don't need a party to remind who I am There is a party inside of me asking me to dance I want to be brave enough to show my dance moves to the world Enough self-hate, I should never let my heart and soul get cold I'm dancing I'm dancing Improvising Just to let you know I'm dancing I'm dancing Making Just to let you know

Speechness 03:09
lyrics

I don't want a megaphone Not even a microphone I don't want to have to scream To be listened To beg you for attention Trying to control the tension Just to keep you in your seat Keeping it interesting Not necessarily I'll say what you want to hear But when we have notes to be considered Pleasing doesn't need to be the main reason And I have a lot to sing Songs that I'm about to bring Coming from my mind and my heart I shouldn't be ashamed of me I should thank that I exist And sometimes not to keep my mouth shut I may wish I had an audience A stan, a follower Someone to listen to my ted talks Even when the subject is boring I don't need to be acclaimed by the critics But I'd wish someone was willing to listen Not necessarily I'll say what you want to hear But when we have notes to be considered Pleasing doesn't need to be the main reason And I have a lot to sing Songs that I'm about to bring Coming from my mind and my heart I shouldn't be ashamed of me I should thank that I exist And sometimes not to keep my mouth shut Most times I don't want to bother Most times I want to fit in I tried to remove myself from the narrative But I'm the one living the script So I can't go speechless all the times Some notes are mine to write I'm willing to face the reactions of what I say If I don't speak in fear, how will I be brave someday? And I have a lot to sing Songs that I'm about to bring Coming from my mind and my heart I shouldn't be ashamed of me I should thank that I exist And sometimes not to keep my mouth shut

Projections 03:24
lyrics
buy track
When you look at me, what do you see? Do you see a person? A playable character? Would you customize the clothes I wear? Would you change how I behave? I'm fine as long as you want to give me pieces of advice But if you're writing fan fiction about my life for me to follow Then is you who needs a slice of humble pie I want light, not projections I want to see my real self without lenses Kill the projector Now I'm the one who glows Too much thought, introspection To differentiate me from the character Kill the projector Projections can't be as beautiful as me It's easy to say you know somebody that well But when does perception end and projection start? Reality is shaped by many different scripts Perspectives are limited, you'll need to combine then I want light, not projections I want to see my real self without lenses Kill the projector Now I'm the one who glows Too much thought, introspection To differentiate me from the character Kill the projector Projections can't be as beautiful as me We all want to know who we are External feedback can bring some light But only if the light glows to the same color as yours Else you may be picking someone else's bag of trash What if you can't recycle that? I want light, not projections I want to see my real self without lenses Kill the projector Now I'm the one who glows Too much though, introspection To differentiate me from the character Kill the projector Projections can't be as beautiful as me

Trance 03:41
lyrics

Close your eyes Take a deep breath Let it all in Exhale Listen to My sweet voice Let it in Relax Let's unlock your self-awareness Save it for later Colors and shapes will come to life Mind so weightless You're always justifying your existence Regret your lack of knowledge in the past tense Your whole aura, your whole body feels dense Your mind is on Earth, but Earth doesn't make sense Does it? So let your mind relax body and soul Get rid of the self-control Feel your mind Getting oxygen It likes it Exhale Let's pretend we've learned to be shameless Like we are babies Surroundings all brand new to us Wonder driven seeking You're always justifying your existence Regret your lack of knowledge in the past tense Your whole aura, your whole body feels dense Your mind is on Earth, but Earth doesn't make sense Does it? Let's find the portal within ourselves tonight Even if we're not at night To go somewhere nice and calm Somewhere, sometime, some feeling Where all we eat is living You're always justifying your existence Regret your lack of knowledge in the past tense Your whole aura, your whole body feels dense Your mind is on Earth, but Earth doesn't make sense Does it? Close your eyes Take a deep breath Let it all in Exhale Listen to My sweet voice Let it in Relax
