good grief 01:04
Sometimes I see you when I'm sleeping Sink in my bed and the memories start seepin Soaked with the hope that I'll get A chance that I missed, a dance and a kiss A hug and a wave, the love you displayed Will always shine above through the grave Illuminate the night sky Staring at the stars, seeing a lifetime Of, love and affection from earth up to heaven I'm down here working my best and I still never say goodbye Only a see you later when it comes to that time To leave, time truly deceives How the mind moves when it grieves Good grief, I'll try to be brief Your heart is the peace that I seek

Die Hard 01:51
I used to listen when my heart spoke Shit was tripping now I'm wishing it would start Instead of skip fast hit brakes to whiplash Mistakes to get past no fake this shits ass This things wack... They give you just bit of that buzz before it stings back But I still want love Guess I'm addicted to the drug Got singing Sade I want you to want me too, and that's all day And that's all night, claimin I'm alright Flexing but I really be stressing just like I'm All Might Flexing like I'm Major Armstrong That's a coping mechanism but I guess that's all wrong But, let me do this distraction Who are laughing at this human reaction I just want to feel better Actin like it's sunny instead of the real weather Don't wanna see the rain on the pane On the window frame of my brain Man it's insane, but it is what it is I guess It's just better to forget and forgive And not stress about it too much And let it all in like Tetsuo when he blew up Boom, learn a lesson then let it go People are complex there's questions you'll never know And problems you can't fix, times you won't miss I know it's hard to admit, shit She left hickeys on my chest then she left Still wishing her the best Without context that shit seems too rude But it's all cool, we both needed to move

Sorry I didn't notice I was focused on my own State of mind, staying way inside my dome Like Doug from Dimmsdale or Doug Digging up the mud I swept under the rug Ever since I was a rugrat Refused love, rejecting all then hug backs Sorry mom, I don't know why But I do appreciate all the times that you tried Now I'm wasting all my seconds, counting down the minutes Skipping all the lessons, doubting I could finish Forever questing but the question is the purpose Workin while I'm stressing only guessing if it's worth it My cells ain't perfect, probably Freeze in hell, forgotten as an oddity An outlier who burned without fire After my mouth tired Sorry I didn't notice I was focused On breaking the 8th gate performing the front lotus It's going down like Young Joc Shocked, in this game and I'm down to one stock And Kirby always been my main And dream land always been the aim The goal, that's burning in my soul When I wanna feel whole

Cuz everyday be the same but it's different Insane how we living, the bane of existence A dame in the kitchen She came and she kicked it I came in an instant Guess I ain't pimpin, but that never was the goal I'm a young old soul with a heart full of gold A mind full of diamonds I find that the rhymin The only thing that keeps me from wylin I'm tryna stay cool, so why she deal me the fool I'm like Mamimi I ain't tryna get schooled So I play with the fire, the flames of desire It's take me higher, and higher To a new elevation Far away from the fear I was facing I wanna face something new But I'm scared and I don't know what to do Cuz everyday be the same But different and it's driving me inside With visions that be flying in my brain I'm living like my life's inside a game So I'm playing Earthbound til I'm bound to the earth Laying down, drowning in dirt In a town surrounded by hurt I hope Ness found what's it's worth In this life we live we fight forgive Forget remember, light the spliff with ember Before the flame fades let it rip A beyblade coming straight from the hip Still spinning, still spinning Hope all of my peoples is still winning A high score is what we all fight for Or die for, woah

about

I wanted to make this project to show off the different music I like to make. I started off my real music journey when I started rapping and making beats. Throughout the years my musical interest have expanded and now I like to try what ever comes to my mind. I'm not too stuck in genres or anything like that. I just like to create.

The first EP is with me rapping because I believe that is what I am the best at. I don't rap as much as I used to, but it is something that will always stay with me. I love writing clever lines. I try to write lines that is hard to understand in the first 10 listens. No throw away lines either. 3 of the beats I also produced for this EP. The only guest for this one is xavy33, who made the beat for Elder Scrolls: Oblivious. Shout out to them for rocking with me for a minute

The next EP has be playing bass and guitar, mainly to show off my writing skills. I am a bass player mainly, but I love chords and I write almost all my songs on guitar. Just a whole bunch of extended chords to play cool basslines over. I taught myself how to play guitar and bass, so how I play is very much influenced by how I want to write. I don't think it's the normal route, but I learned these instruments as tools to create. I had 2 guest in this EP. Brendan Helms provided drums for gravity and GIANTS!!. Jacob Ott played bass and ukulele on Snotter. This is a thanks to both of them

The third EP are just beats. I have tried writing to this before but never came up with anything. I felt they were too good to not release even though I didn't have rhymes for them. I have made hundreds, possibly thousands of beats at this point, most of them just rotting away on my various laptops throughout the years. I just wanted to throw some that I liked out into the world. Two of these beats dates back to 2018. Paradise is one of my personal favorites. I made that a couple years ago, right before I had a hard drive crash. I never got to finish the beat, but I really like how it is right now. Is it perfect, no, but it still feels right to me

The last EP is filled with songs which are personally the most experimental for me. They are more dance/electronic inspired. Usually coming around from me playing chords on my synth to see if I like the sound. My favorite out of the bunch is a toss up between No Go and Zappa. I just really love the bassline and drums on that one. Zappa is another one, similar to Paradise, where I lost the files when ym hard drive crashed. That one is also different from the others on the EP because it is based off a sample. I still put it with the rest because I think it's way different from how I usually sample.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading. And even if you didn't make this far, I want to show my appreciation to everyone who listened to this music.
