I'm going to sleep
And never waking up again
Because I don't care
I don't care anymore
I feel so empty
Like I've lost a friend
You don't have to stare
You don't have to pretend
Just let me go
Let me fall off the edge
You're in my dreams
That's where I want to be
I'm going to sleep now
It's time to leave
Goodbye old life
Goodbye mediocrity

Where Did You Go
04:24
|
|||
|
Where did you go?
It's not in my nature to wait
I'm waiting for you all the time
While my stomach turns inside out
Please don't make me live this life alone
Because I can't live this lie for long
Anytime I think of moving on
I realize there is nowhere else I belong
I'm so uncomfortable
Except with you
I think I'd die
With this removed

Open When I'm Gone
04:38
|
|||
|
The only time I am truly free
Is when I'm not here to stop me
This is why I am Leaving
It's not you, it's me
I'm sorry I couldn't be happy
I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you
I made everyone else laugh
But I always made you cry
So if you're wondering why I'm gone
Sometimes it's better to let things die

Anhedonia
04:58
|
|||
|
I have been robbed
You have stolen all my joy
Things that used to bring me pleasure
Only bring pain now
I write songs
It's pointless
I play games
Pointless
TV
Pointless
The only thing that keeps me alive
Is you
But nothing makes me want to die more

Cruel
03:40
|
|||
|
Love is cruel
It can come without warning
It can catch you off guard
Like a natural disaster
It can shatter your home
Destroy all your belongings
It can squeeze the life out of you
Leaving you longing for the sweet release of death
It can upset the natural order of things
Love doesn't care about your plans
Like a hungry beast
It will devour you
It will trap you
Change you
Reset your life
Your priorities
It will make you new
Kill off the old ways
It can take you places you never thought you'd go
How did we end up in love

Love
04:30
|

|
We are at the carnival
The lights
The candy
The rides
The joy
The sickness
We are holding hands
Trying to freeze time
We know this will be an empty lot tomorrow
I want to close my eyes and see this moment
And forget about the normal days
When this place is empty
We're spinning around, faster and higher
Everything else is blurred out in the background
Only you and I are in focus
Warm light surrounds us
Maybe we can disappear
When this place is gone
We'll go with it
Can we survive in a dream?
Or do we play it safe
And stay behind in reality

Piece Together
04:58
|
|||
|
Piece together
Remnants of our broken lives
We've got each other
Maybe we can start to fight
I don't have much
But I'd give you everything that's mine
We could just be us
And that's enough in my eyes
I don't want everything
I just want you tonight
I don't want anything
To come between you and I

Blessed
05:54
|
|||
|
I'm blessed
I'm surrounded by grace
It hasn't been easy
But sometimes it has
I'll try to keep holding on
I'll try to remember
That sometimes what's in my head
Is just that
It's hard to rest assured
When you're surrounded by silence
So I'm filling the silence
With sounds for you

Legato
05:28
|
|||
|
I've been dying for years
Intentionally
And you keep resuscitating me
Like a carrot on a stick
I keep waiting for the next fix
I can go years
Sometimes just days
I'm alone
But you are always with me
You're a ghost
I'm a host
Is that why I'm still here?
So you can use me
I love you
I hope you love me too

Nik Sorak recommends:
Knowing how much time and passion went into making this record, and the fact that Nalani did it herself, inspired me to be a better artist. You can tell that Nalani leveled up with this record!!!

This album helped me realize the potential of creatively thinking outside of the box. Very inspiring artist!
