A lifetime, it awaits to be seen
Don’t get too close
Though I’ve never let you down
I will so don’t stick around
This love I know
I had to figure out and find it my own
What do you know, why won’t you mention
All these rough times, the winter cold really knocked the air out of me
Ice in my hair, a cheap leather jacket
Couldn’t fly back home, nowhere else to go
Play piano in the middle of night
Hoping someone came around, turned on the lights
I would struggle making friends and shit, I can’t even lie
I’m so thankful that y’all talked to me when I was in that line
Now it’s written in my journal who I loved and what I liked
I would disappear in the middle of the night
I was crying, I was scrolling seeing which of my friends online, they was thinking of the differences in the way I could live my life
I couldn’t see it through my eyes but the words they stuck, yeah, line for line and it went
It’s sadder to live alone
So anytime you want, don’t be afraid to call me bout it Ian you should call me bout it
No matter, what comes and goes
You’ll surf da waves you know
The winter cold really knocked the air out of me
And if I could say something to that version of me
I love you and I need you to survive
And we want you to stay, it’ll only get better from here
It can only get better from here, if you let it
It’s sadder to live alone
So anytime you want, don’t be afraid to call me bout it Ian you should call me bout it
No matter, what comes and goes
You’ll surf da waves you know

RHYTHM is my HEAVEN

Got a story to tell you, about all the little songs that I wrote to make me feel alive
On a pirated copy, files crashin eatin enough pizza rolls to kill a guy
It was all I need
132 BPM [change this to 140] oh yeah
I wish I could see
That silly look on your face, when you came up with that lyric
Headphones on playin my favorite tune
I took a long flight Tokyo to get tattooed
On the airplane, tweakin up on AutoTune
And I EQed everything till I found you
They said, go to college work off your head
I said no, no, no, you’re wrong when I was a boy
Music is my life, music is my life
That silly look on your face, when you came up with that lyric
When I hold on
Why do you always have a reason to let me go?
I tried all night
Filter the noise to hear your voice through the metronome
Last Friday night, Don Quijote before Scarlet
We party in the car, soju tainted parking lot
Last Friday night, Lifted Yota in the dark
Moonlight surfing with a shark, braddah Koa caught i’a
Last Friday night, SUNKiSS DROP on DDR
Sweaty hands grippin’ the bar, sneaky scoobies in the chart
Last Friday night, pinky promising with God
For my youth to never stop
Last Friday night, I left the party, threw one on my own
Everybody came around, yea it was awesome and I
Start a dialogue, on my dial-up
Epic bacon sauce, ruled the internet
When I hold on
Why do you always have a reason to let me go?
I tried all night
Filter the noise to hear your voice through the metronome
Back then I used to hate my music, it’s not good if it won’t go viral
Refreshing my page, highkey, algorithm is my hell and it made me scream, but I learned
You’re deceiving me, the town and city believe in me
KK slider he ride with me
The rhythm is my heaven in the FLP now GO!
The rhythm is my heaven in the FLP now GO!
From the moment I heard the sound, it would clearly define my life
As I know it, come around like the ocean to the shore
Happiness is a sweaty crowd, where the music is loud
And nothin matters, but MIDI patterns till I’m gone
The rhythm is my heaven in the FLP now GO!

Would It Hurt?

When I was young man wantin’ to die, you said keep pushin it
Years later I’ve grown up and I can’t lie, you make it hard to live
You’re blowing up, and you act this way cause
You know it all, and you’re smashing plates
Did you break it all? Can you break it all?
On the following day, you smile and laugh like there’s nothing wrong
Till the next outburst draggin me along
Holding back tears
Wish I could become anything
Pray to God but are you listening?
Maybe one day I’ll be anything
Write my life into a melody
My satellite beam in search of someone
You’re just like me, I say you know what
Anytime we would be afraid and so gone
Would it hurt just to dream?
Said I was alright, I was so mad
But you knew and we went to the movies
Really felt like a moment with you
It's been a long time, since you tried that
If you want we can go back to silence
It would make such a pitiful view
I felt so close to you but now
There’s nothing there but an iPad stare
My satellite beam in search of someone
You’re just like me, I say you know what
Anytime we would be afraid and so gone
Would it hurt just to dream?
I can’t waste time, there’s just not enough
I’ll pet my dogs and I’ll keep writing songs
And I love this girl and I know she’s the one

This Sun Will Age You

Boring and complacent, couldn’t be me, ahhh
Never knew I could cry like that, but I know it won’t take too long
Before I’m back home to you again, in the light of 93 million
In the stars of a cloudy night, an outline of your face revealed in dreams, round in the orbit
When you wake up you may find
Cold dark magic circling your mind and it will
Freeze your heart up from inside
Drink the potion you’ll see
Ladders climbing to the top of the treehouse, screaming
My heart out, believe me when I
Declare my love for the vast horizon, the sky, look for sunlight to find me
I was given this life and held up my hands as it spun around me
The skyward sword is a light, a weapon to fight for the ones I grieved
But time it passes you by, so hopefully you believe
That there will be for you
Ordinary places, yeah that’s what it took to save me
Huh man I go for a walk in the park, I see a lot
Couldn’t write out all my thoughts, I was running on and running on and run, I need a dot
Travel through the dungeon to uncover something exciting
It was lotta monsters and goblins in the dark
Quickly ran out of my hearts, was it worth it cause I lost all of this treasure that I got?
When you wake up in the morning so confused you don’t know yourself or anything at all
It’s a curse, it’s a cold dark magic that whisper in your ear, that you gonna disappear bruh I don’t wanna hear it
It was ice not on my wrist but in my heart bro, kept the Hebra summit to myself and I was so froze
But I pushed through, learned and grew, it’s elixirs that I brewed, it was life or death so I ascend
Ladders climbing to the top of the treehouse, screaming
My heart out, believe me when I
Declare my love for the vast horizon, the sky, look for sunlight to find me
In the castle, a king in disguise
A warlock wizard with an evil eye
Placed a curse on me, the seed of doom
On every little thing that I tried to do, yuh
Woke up in the shrine you made
And read up on the runes of a twilight gloom
Defeated him, rescued you
And if I had to do it all again, I would
This sun will age you
This sun will age you and love you
This sun will age you
This sun will age you and love you

Lighthouse

How do I even begin
Life is a lot, I’m throwing a birthday party it’s fun, but I couldn’t shake the feeling you’re not here dancin
It’s been 3 years, we argued and fought but the last time we talked you wanted to go surfing
Oh friend, you followed the lighthouse home
In due time, I’ll set sail and find your star
I remember going around the island hiking
Stop and take a moment for a picture where the sun beam
Take a nap then we driving down the H3
Bike to Ko Olina, Yoshi City Yung Lean
Snuck into jacuzzis talking story with anybody
Then in the night time, let’s play Mario Party
As I wrote this song I went through my phone
Searched my computer and old YouTube videos
Tryna find the silliest ones that I know
Snapchat memories, freestyle in your car
No connection where you’re rolling on the floor
It’s the brains you didn’t need anymore, threw them out the window
Taking pictures under the sun
Trespassing on someone’s lawn
At the beach with everyone
Got the text that you’re gone
Oh friend, you followed the lighthouse home
In due time, I’ll set sail and find your star
You’re prolly up there editing a video
Proud of me for working on my music still
You should see your brother at his live show
Together we were supposed to grow old
Well, lemme tell you how it’s been for me
I found the one and I believe
As the hour turns the days into months
That I'm unworthy is a lie I won't touch
It's a pity that I don't say this enough
It's an understatement to say I'm in love
You make me certain of it, yeah you make me certain of it
And I deserve it
As the hour turns the days into months
That I'm unworthy is a lie I won't touch
It's a pity that I don't say this enough
It's an understatement to say I'm in love
You make me certain of it, yeah you make me certain of it
And I deserve it
