"Scars Underneath" (first draft)

This a song about unseen battles raging deep within, about finding strength in vulnerability, and about coming out the other side stronger, wiser, happy, healthy, healing and with a deep appreciation for life.

During the bridge, the line is supposed to be "To the girl at 16 who liked to dance with DRAGONFLIES", not fireflies #oops. I didn't realize it until after I finished making the lyric video. I made a couple other little mistakes while singing/playing, but instead of stopping and re-doing it, I just kept going as if I was performing live. I have a bad habit of immediately stopping as soon as I catch myself making a mistake, and while that's fine for a recording session, it isn't good for that to be my default. There are no re-takes in a live performance, and in many cases, nobody will even realize you made a mistake if you just keep going. I just realized there is a good metaphor for life in there...Anyway, this is just the first draft so I def will go back in and fix those mistakes at some point :)

The Kindest Are the Cruelest”

Verse 1

I had a perfect image of you in my mind
But you were the one who chose to be unkind
I thought it would be nice for us two
But everything broke the moment I met you

Verse 2

I saw your real face coming into sight
Calling me names, saying I’m not right
Just for talking or laughing with guys
You turned small things into all your lies

Pre-Chorus

I’m sorry, I acted like I never knew your name
Like I erased you completely from the game
The nicest ones can still turn really mean
And that’s a truth that’s always been unseen

Chorus

I’m not sorry, I feel nothing at all
Harassment, cyberhate, I won’t fall
Do what you want, it doesn’t touch my mind
I leave it all and you stay behind

Hook

I WILL BLOCK YOU EVERY TIME
No more space, you crossed the line
You came back again with hate and fake accounts
But every word of yours just counts for no amounts

Verse 3

You came back to insult me again and again
With different accounts, you tried to remain
You even sent your girl months later on
But tell me what for? The feeling is gone

Bridge

You were sweet and cute in the way you behaved
But outside that mask, something was depraved
Behind your smile, something was wrong
And I saw the truth all along

Outro

You make people dream, that’s your game
But you won’t fool them with your name
You won’t make them fall for your face
When they finally see your real place

Curiously Hypnotized

Verse 1

I’m curious, trapped inside your spell
Your dancing pulls me closer down
Your shining eyes, they break so well
A light that makes me lose the ground

Chorus

Hypnotized, I don’t know what to do
Hypnotized, I’m frozen looking at you
Hypnotized by every move you make
Hypnotized, this night feels like a break

Take me higher, let me lose control
Nothing around us, just two souls
Just you and me, no rules to break
No one here to wake us from this state

Verse 2

No questions left, I let it go
Why should I care about anything?
It’s only you I want to know
Your voice is all I hear and sing

Rap

Mes joues rougissent-elles ?
Mais pourquoi ?
Je ne sais pas
Peut-être ma vie devient belle ?

Pas de questions
Pourquoi s’embêter avec ça
C’est toi et moi
Je veux juste entendre ton son

Chorus

Hypnotized, I don’t know what to do
Hypnotized, I’m still stuck looking at you
Hypnotized by every move you make
Hypnotized, this night feels like a break

Bridge

But then I wake, it was a dream
I fall back into everyday
I see someone who looks like you in the stream
A sign or just my mind at play

I don’t think so, I turn away
I walk back home into the grey

Final

But still I feel you following me
Please don’t give hope I cannot keep
I don’t want pain inside my chest
My heart is shaking in my breath

My stomach turns, my head is spinning
My world goes dark… but keeps beginning

I wrote a song about a breakup

I wrote this in 3 days pls dont be mean :(

I know yo ass was trippin

And i know you wasnt listening

To my bitchin

So i got rich and

(Beat and rhythm picks up)

Now you tryna hit me back up

Bitch i think you need to back up

Cuz now i got my racks up

(Moves to more emotional vibe)

And i knew you was insane

Thinking since i got a double sided coin i play a dirty game

But now the coin has flipped and the tables turned

i walked through your flames and i got burned

you left me in a painful haze

had me mixng vodka with the drank

but then i switched up and made bank

now im riding olive green candy paint

I was chasing validation now im chasin paper

You was guilty of defamation and now im fresh just like a taper

Now im done with youuu

You tried to call a truuuce

I was tired of the abuuse

Now look what i introduce

Now you're done

I already found a new one

(Switches to a harder flow and melody thats faster)

Im wearin a shinin rolex your timin your meter

I got the cortex you cant even afford a coke 2 liter

Im a charger youre a kia soul

Im eatin a steak you at the checkout tryna barter for a fruit bowl
