In my car the stale air of grief And fast food grease The grief of what for? We're not sure Receipts and to do lists Crumpled on the floor Dust from different time zones Cover my dash board Are you looking for something to prove? Are you looking for something to lose? Are you looking for something to prove? I ride my bike Chase the waning light My lungs are paper bags And my head is feeling light I ride earthquake ripples on waves of slate My capsized mind catalogues my mistakes My skull is full and inward it pulls From under the yellow bulbs, I see you standing there There I stand my body's a sandbag And my eyes are fixed the crowded abyss it looks back at me Lunar hues watch me shake my chains loose I'm not alone But no one is here for me I'm not a bad man But honey it feels so cold You'll never know me well But I want you to hold And through my murky dreams I see what could be Our headlights could stretch through night to infinity What does it mean? Are you looking for something to prove? Are you looking for something to lose? Are you looking for something to prove? Are you looking for something to lose? Something to lose Something to lose Something to lose Something to lose

Boxed wine and feeling fine Another cigarette to pass the time Stuck in a loop There's nothing here to do Depressed but well dressed Watching you and all your friends You're all having fun Why'd I even come? Slap on a smile for a while Punching in, not giving in It's okay It's just another day Stuck behind the gate And outside of everything Wondering, why can't I find a way in Manic pixie dreamy Driving them all crazy Got no, got no time for me Cry baby, someone save me Crybaby Crybaby, someone save me Crybaby Someone save me Someone save me Find some wine so I can find some words Swallow it down to kill the nerves Drown it out, for better or for worse It's been overdone, I'm underwhelmed Another cigarette there's nothing else to do Other than shitty small talk with you Crybaby Someone save me Crybaby Crybaby, someone save me Crybaby Crybaby, someone save me Crybaby Someone save me Someone save me

Oh Pepper tree baby Come on and sing your song Oh sweet pepper lady Come on and take me along She walks a breeze Down these velvet streets Patched up corduroys And lavender sweet dreams And lavender sweet dreams Darling we ain’t perfect But look at the rest She’s out chasing butterflies Darling we ain’t perfect But look at the rest They’re out chasing butterflies Oh Pepper tree baby Come on and sing your song Oh sweet pepper lady Come on and take me along Shes In my dreams Not sure what it means Tangerine sweet cream And a touch of jealousy And a touch of jealousy Darling we ain’t perfect But look at the rest She’s out chasing butterflies Darling we ain’t perfect But look at the rest She’s out chasing butterflies Bridge Darling we ain’t perfect But look at the rest She’s out chasing butterflies Darling we ain’t perfect But look at the rest She’s out chasing butterflies

I sewn my heart into the seams It kept falling from my sleave I’m gonna be open a book to read I’ve got nothing nothing to lose And she stays when everyone leaves And we air our dirty laundry I know that we can be dangerous things I know she knows where this could lead Ask to see the truth You’ll wonder if anyone will see you Here we are both killing our time I would like a partner in crime I know that we can be free Of what anyone expects us to be I’ll show you all of me She wants to see everything Cocktails and dreams is what we can seek Having mai tais on the beach Oh I’ve craved it yeah that’s the truth Someone too, I think I’m falling in love She showed up already set Ready to dance you’re always having a laugh I sewn my heart into the seams And she’s the one who grabbed my sleave.

I drive to Las Vegas to make money Cause I don’t care if I’m broke I get some gas get some coffee I’m turning up radio We stay up all night Neon lights Decide who’s rich and who is poor Oh my god I just met Elvis He’s the king of rock n roll I’m in love with this waitress She says the bars here never close We stay up all night Neon lights Will you still love me When you find out I’m broke Up all night Neon lights Lets get married In a drive thru chapel This place is contagious This place is Las Vegas

Why don't you chase me Go faster, come take me Break in and then break me And tear my heart in two Go away There's no way Coming to Becoming you Broadway Main St. is lonely We'll come back again someday Always come back Why can't you see me Why can't you hear me This maze has perplexed me And tore my heart in two Go away Main St. is lonely We'll come back again someday Always come back Looking for a mutual respect I detest being treated like a pet More or less

I'm feeling paranoid and stuck inside my brain Don't wanna tell no one cause' they don't feel the same I wish that I could melt the sun Abusing alcohol to take away the pain They said to take my pills but it just ain't the same I wish that I could melt the sun I'm feeling paranoid and stuck inside my brain Don't wanna tell no one cause' they don't feel the same I wish that I could melt the sun

My coffee’s getting cold That bread is growing mold Last night was such a blur (Plus it felt a whole lifetime ago) Stick around til your ready to go (Like you’ve done one thousand times before) (Solo) Left your house with no set place to go Pick me up later this afternoon That’s what you get when you try to forget your bad at driving stoned Next time you want to try they’ll let you know (Instrumental break) Pick me up with no set place to go Drop me off on your way back to home That’s what you get when you try to forget you’re sad and all alone Next time you want to try Yeh sure come thru

Heidy - Vase 04:09
you said you think i should go. cursing every person that you know. afraid to say what you wanted, you let go. i needed something, i needed love. i needed you, was i not enough? but i thought that you needed sleep. but instead you really wanted to dream. what you wanna be? you said you think i should go. cursing every person that you know. afraid to say that you wanted to let go. i’m okay if there’s nothing next to me. you’re the one who needs someone just to sleep. i know you said something, but i’m not sure, i’m not listening. i just wanted change. i just needed change. you said you think i should go. cursing every person that you know. afraid to say that you wanted to let go. why am i holding on? instead i’ll let you roam. i think i should go. bloom. i’m clinging to your dress, just like in the movies. coming down just to watch you dance. and i’m praying that the rain, will slow you when you drive. you said you think i should go. cursing every person that you know. remember the perfect vase you broke? broken pieces of what you thought you’d own. i think you should go. you know i think you should go. you’ve cursed every person that you know. i think you should go.

My brain feels the same Badly on the break Thinking takes away the fun of it But you know just when to stop I know you're hardly sleeping I know you're tired of feeling They said to turn and pray But will he hear me say I'm badly on the break I know that it sounds strange to say The best of people are the worst to me And though they say they've found the light Why is it that they're not in sight My brain loves the pain When it's hurting me Thinking takes away the fun of it But you know just when to stop
25.
Passing Hold on you are passing me by The tainted memories from the spring of our lives And I don’t need your cigarette, to ease my pain No I don’t need your anything, that’s my refrain Fly on soft wings into the night Awakened sharply, with a scream and a cry And I don’t need to fall asleep, to ease my pain No I don’t need the pharmacy, it’s not the same Hug my pillow tonight Will she miss the goodbye?
26.
Same party different night I’ll stay here if you like But this scene really ain’t for me Monday morning rolls around My head feels like it’s on ground and everything’s just too damn loud for me Don’t want to be here today I sit around with a frown waiting for the day I don’t have to slave away I’m on the outside looking in And I just wanna play I’m just stuck in this way I wish that there was somewhere else Where we could go all by ourselves If that were true then this would be a dream Everyday my body hurts From all the things I do at work And I hope, it’s not my destiny Don’t want to be here today I sit around with a frown waiting for the day I don’t have to slave away I’m on the outside looking in And I just wanna play I’m just stuck in this way
27.
I would like to be your time, And the stars will look at you. Darling, dear. Please, get real. And the stars above us, You're the sun, I'm the light. Darling, dear. Please get real. I would like to be yours.
28.
I don't wanna pour my soul out just to anyone Contradictions all around me, rip my skin from the bone I don't need your blessings of sympathy It's boring me All I see are hypocrites and reality is collapsing around me I don't wanna have to spell it out anymore Plagued by the life of failure But it is what we choose I don't need your blessings of empathy it tires me All I see is not for me and sanity is collapsing around me Cut open by the troubles of somebody else Left out to bleed for their own selfish doubts When all is said and all is done My opinion will go off like a loaded gun
29.
Don’t wake me again Been up all night Couldn’t lay here Happens all the time And yeah I hear you Sighing near my head So pretty lady Help me figure it out I know you’re waiting Waiting for a while So baby baby Sorry I’m so loud I couldn’t lay here And it happens all the time Don’t wait around Or make a sound Just Change your ways get some sleep I’ll help you out Just slow down Take time you need to breathe
30.
Swimming under isotopes Breathing like I have never hoped Underneath the glow Of the future projection of time Swimming underneath Radioactive isotopes Singing to my friends When I get a chance I’ll be ready for the next chance to go back underneath the isotopes
31.
There's a bank in my backyard And I've got no light to grow my plants in Without no room for voice No room for playing around I met a person out here that I think I could be good friends with Hey, Why can't you sleep? We'll keep the TV going Will that make you feel okay? Okay. Not much place to put things without a shelf I want to be able to see everything So that nothing is hidden and within eyeline All center, no periphery Like the shadow of the bank Or the valley winds that pull a sand dune I'll pull everything into me And hold it as a trinket

about

Thanks to all the amazing artist that contributed a track to this special compilation. To me this compilation is the official start of an annual tradition, even though this compilation is a sequel to the very first release we did.


Special thanks to ALTANGELES for connecting us with new artist that we might not have had the chance to meet :)
