When I pre package thoughts
Where I live no gunshots
You feel safe at the bus stop
Or at least that’s what you bought
And then something shatters
What is mind over matter
Where do high rises rise
Evolution in disguise
Give me hope
Give me some for me to hold on
I been battling inner demons for so long
I was sure that by now I’d be Bye, gone
I stand strong more relevant than ever
Dead Wrong
Hold my hand & never let go
I promise that I'll never let go
Have u ever been so scared of death that you forgot to live
I know a couple times for me
But those are things that I forgive
Gentle with myself but it’s hard sometimes I hate it
By it I mean me, anticipated
Self loathing never be outdated
But it's unbecoming, of what?
The person I’ve awaited
Cause I’ve laid the stomping grounds for me to rise above
And sometimes I deceive myself try not to give a fuck
Im honest with you mostly but with myself i'm a liar
I play along and rarely ask what does my heart desire
what does my heart desire
what does my heart desire
what does my heart desire
what does my heart desire
When I pre package thoughts
Where I live no gunshots
You feel safe at the bus stop
Or at least that’s what you bought
And then something shatters
What is mind over matter
Where do high rises rise
Evolution in disguise

Happiest - Lyrics
Emma Beko
Verse 1
Can I take another hit
Another sip without me judging myself
I couldn’t handle it
One time I couldn’t walk, but I could talk
Imagine that and it's a fact
I got a devil on my shoulder but sometimes it's in my head
Tried to cut it off it bled
Yeah of course it caused me pain
It Is me and I am it
Considered more than a friend
And I admit
I like it dark but not that empty
I could go with a machete and cut out everything that won’t serve a purpose to me
But I am self aware
And I do many things
And one of them is not to pull you like a puppet string
I bite I bark I lead I fly I play I never sting
It's the things that don't seem to matter that give me wings
I drowned a million times before but I never forgot to sing
Liquor was my best friend and some weed I was a fiend
A bunch of other
But i'm cleaning out my closet
Picket signs and skeletons
Clean
Chorus with Marlaena Moore
How does it feel when you let it go
You move your body like never before
You’re like a girl in a video
A film about kicking down the doors
Always wonder when you slip and fall
If you’re tired don’t be shy to crawl
Back on your feet it might take a while
Face on the ground but you keep your smile
Verse 2
Crack my knuckles yes I think that i'm invincible
I don't answer to you, just out of principle
It get really low sometimes but it is beautiful
It's crazy when you know something but at times it just slips away
Ricochet, out of your mind thoughts are kept at bay
I wonder why my legs are shaking that’s some scary shit
I hope for it to stop but its my brain that’s controlling it
I'll put the kettle on and hope this herbal tea relaxes me
Got some shivers while I'm writing all this truthfulness
Pouring out of me like im a tipped cup spilling my madness
I'm the happiest but saddest at the same time
I climb to reach my prime but I got baggage to unwind
I'm fine
Really I am and when you pry I’ll decline
Privacy’s my sanctuary, safe is divine
I feel the safest when I know that what is mine is mine
I'm a mime with a finger up, that’s a sign
Chorus with Marlaena Moore
How does it feel when you let it go
You move your body like never before
You’re like a girl in a video
A film about kicking down the doors
Always wonder when you slip and fall
If you’re tired don’t be shy to crawl
Back on your feet it might take a while
Face on the ground but you keep your smile

“Como decir
No es necesariamente porque une tiene un herida que tiene que sanar, o un ego que alimentar
Puede ser que uno es ultra independiente o solitario porque es ahí donde se encuentra más
Y es así cómo se construye, se conoce mejor
Y a partir de ahí puede uno compartir, vivir, transmitir emociones verdaderas, verdaderas, únicas, auténticas
Que no son necesariamente compartidas a la masa, a la gran masa, si no a un grupo de personas, escogidas”

Everything I'm Not

Tell me what you want
Tell me if you can’t get it
All your wildest dreams
Tell me if you can’t see it
I can give you all
Everything I’ve got
I can give you all
Everything I’m not
Cried so much feel like I’ve been waterboarded
Endless paths that I never chose to to take
I'm in so deep, the little things I appreciate
Some days I wouldn’t even know where to escape
Hid myself behind the cigarettes the drinks
Every night a blur it cost me Just to think
Reality dissipated with just a hit
When it starts to fade away I get scared and then I blink
Tell me what you want
Tell me if you can’t get it
All your wildest dreams
Tell me if you can’t see it
Tell me what you want
Tell me if you can’t get it
All your wildest dreams
Tell me if you can’t see it
Growing up a kid can be anything that it wants
We leave behind a lot, those are the places that we haunt
Time has sharp edges that confuse and condemn
Get abused at the stem
I know you’re a gem
I would lie if it meant that you were healed
Say goodbye in a letter you kept sealed
Love you forever
Through all of this absurdity
You’re not a burden
You are free to be
Tell me what you want
Tell me if you can’t get it
All your wildest dreams
Tell me if you can’t see it
Tell me what you want
Tell me if you can’t get it
All your wildest dreams
Tell me if you can’t see it
I can give you all
Everything I’ve got
I can give you all
Everything I’m not
I can give you all
Everything I’ve got
I can give you all
Everything I’m not
Everything I’m not
Everything I’m not
Everything I’m not
Everything I’m not
Everything I’m not
Everything I’m not
Everything
Everything I’m not

Been there and done that
Yes that’s a fun fact
They’ve never spent lives
Keep it on hard drives
Wet naps and pack sacks
Ziplocks and big bucks
Big bills for big trucks
It’s deluxe
Luxury gold
Fit in a mold
Stereotype that we all love to hype
Cinnamon swirl, what a nice treat
I live for the chaos
Sticky and sweet
Let go my hand
Let go my hand
Let go my hand
Let go my hand
Let go my hand
Let go my hand
Let go my hand
Let go my hand
Grocery
Laundry
Bills
Taxes
Spending
All my meal
Money
I don’t wanna steal pennies
Never will you call me Bonnie
Hobbies
Lately
Feel
Funny
When you know you’re late with money
I don't want time to outrun me
I just wanna spend my life
Fruition intuition
I’ve been there and it’s bitchin
I’ve climbed some high ass mountains
Metaphorically speaking
Holy grail of the riches
A whale amongst these fishes
I know damn well that I should never tell around these stitches
They hold you down to lift you up
It makes no sense
Don’t give a fuck
They put a price
Isn’t that nice
To take a life some thousand bucks
Time is of the essence
Perfume me with it’s fragrance
I like it better
When it’s free
I like me better when I’m free
Let go my hand
Let go my hand
Let go my hand
Let go my hand
Let go my hand
Let go my hand
Let go my hand
Let go my hand
Grocery
Laundry

Taxes
Spending
All my meal

ANGEL

I met an angel back in the city
She was pretty strong
Our eyes met, memories flood
Flashback loud music in a club
Bitter taste in my mouth
Smokes to infinity
Drunken bike rides
And strong winds
Broken bones
Shit happens
Pictures and videos
Phone numbers and payphones
Pagers and voicemails
Damn
I miss your voice
Wish I could hold you close
Wish I could hold you close
On my computer screen
I saw an angel dance
She was everyone we lost, all at once
I felt it through her glance
Didn’t need to ask why
I witnessed her silence be
With each exhale
I broke down closer
And she said
Dance With Me
Ooooh
Dance With me
Dance With me
Dance With Me
Ooooh
Dance With me
Dance With me
Took the escalator
To meet my faith
I was in a useless place
when I saw her time stopped
Paused
Rewound
Old wounds and ghosts
Old rooms at most
It all came back
Stomping on the stairs
Hiding in the bath
Being bad at math
Smoking for the first time
Coughing
Feeling so bad and so good
Being young
Being free
Being afraid
Being me
On my computer screen
I saw an angel dance
She was everyone we lost, all at once
I felt it through her glance
Didn’t need to ask why
I witnessed her silence be
With each exhale
I broke down closer
And she said
Dance With Me
Ooooh
Dance With me
Dance With me
Dance With Me
Ooooh
Dance With me
Dance With me
Orange paint that I chip away in the dark
Moon light’s my room up like I live in a park
When the floor cracks I forget I’m alive
Everything seems much worse when you’re nine
Put the music loud to drown out the fear
When you think you might be good in the clear
Wanna to see your friends but you’re not allowed out
Of your house and all he does is shout
Finish your plate
Don’t be late
Heeeey
Go to your room
Finish your plate
Don’t be late
Heeeey
Then my computer goes
Dance With Me
Ooooh
Dance With me
Dance With me
Dance With Me
Ooooh
Dance With me
Dance With me
On my computer screen
I saw an angel dance
She was everyone we lost, all at once
I felt it through her glance
Didn’t need to ask why
I witnessed her silence be
With each exhale
I broke down closer
And she said
