patience
im learning to be patient
with my heart, and with the ones i luv
the most
feel
gotta feel my feelings
instead of self-destructing
to restore
we waited an eternity
it seems
but good things come to those who wait
(those who wait)
we gave each other room to breathe
and dream
well good things come to those who wait
So
i’ll wait for u
trust me to take care of u
even when it’s hard to do
cuz i wanna trust u too
(trust u too)
we waited an eternity
it seems
but good things come to those who wait
(those who wait)
we gave each other room to breathe
and dream
but good things come to those who wait
im watching ur stories
still liking ur bad tweets
just to feel close to u
cuz i love u
and i miss u!
it’s been a while now
almost 2 yrs have gone by now
when can i come over?
(ilyimy)
I love u
I miss u
I love u

(Sad China)
gotta sleep all night
Just to dream
Then the sunshine, yeah
It’s another day
I wanna dream when im awake
Sky so bright
Yeah, another day
Little things
In our lives
Make us smile
Make us cry
It’s the little things
That we living for
(Khamisa)
Love and light in my life
Flashing in and out of sight sometimes
The universe taught us to fight
Yet flows us easily when the time is right
(the time’s right)
The temperatures rising
there's no compromising
I cant stay hiding from the world I like, and I like
Little things
In our lives
Make us smile
Make us cry
It’s the little things
That we living for
(Adewolf)
You see I live to die another day
Smoking on the j then I catch a wave
Into a king, started from a slave
Prayer emoji for the little things
Only love is the menu
Sun is hella yellow
Baby don't u ever let me go
and you know that heaven only knows
Another day, another episode
Little things
In our lives
Make us smile
Make us cry
It’s the little things
That we living for
Lately i’ve been stressing
Every other day, another issue i’m addressing
Then i feel the sun caressing
I’m loving my little blessings
(little things, yeah)

addicted to myself
i think i need some help
watching the numbers going up (going up)
i shouldn’t equate that with love (with love)
but i do
im rly fucked up
i can’t see ur face so i keep posting
oh i keep posting
can u hear me? (你可以听懂我吗/nǐ kěyǐ tīng dǒng wǒ ma?)
can u hear me?
can u understand me from this tiny screen
can u hear me?
can u see me?
do u see what i want u to see?
touching up my face
smile for the cyberspace
with strangers staring back at me
typing, tapping endlessly
im alone
in 2021
time disappears so quickly
but i keep posting
can u hear me?
can u hear me?
can u understand me from this tiny screen
can u hear me?
can u see me?
do u see what i want u to see?
(what i want u to see)
interlude
(Kerub)
every time
my fone lands in my hand
ur name, ur ring
shows up in green bubbles
i read abt wut u do
i see ur face thru a filter
every time i tap in too
oh
i wanna stop being so narcissistic
who cares what we look like
when we’re being ourselves
instead of online
people come and go
it still hurts to know
u read my msg
and won’t reply
i’m listening
for vibrations
from the other room
yeah, i’m listening

these days, there are no kings anymore
where im from
no kings but they still colonize (kkk)
we settled near the lost creeks of
“vancouver”
on stolen lands
U claimed stolen names
do i remind u of the porn u jack off to
do i remind u
don’t make anymore
broken promises
it’s violence
we don’t want what ur selling us
just me and my lorazepam
in case i need them
the ghosts of sick men haunt me on every corner of Mt. unPleasant
do i remind u of the porn u jack off to?
do i remind u
do i remind u of (it’s violent)
the porn u jack off to? (it’s violence)
do i remind u?

Toxic, yeah
community over competition
Solidarity’s not a perfect picture (for the gram)
My real ones, I got chu
(and i know u got me too)
My real ones, U got me too
It’s not fun to post anymore
What do you want me to see that for?
Too many requests to ignore
I see you subtweet me 4 days of the week
While I’m eating good
And flossing my teeth
(JERRYCHERRY: yeah)
hey
I saw your tiktok, are you doing okay?
Do we need to talk about it?
Time to log off
Time to shut this down
yeah it’s time to shut down
It’s not fun to post anymore
What do you want me to see that for?
Too many requests to ignore
(JERRYCHERRY: delete it!)
Ur just toxic, friend
We’re just toxic friends
It’s Sad China with the green
smokes clean on a twist pipe
I envy gasoline
flow mean, haters get hype
my routine’s a dream that you stream
subby, subscribe
see me on a screen, feel seen?
Im a new type
right?
假朋友奇怪/Jiǎ péngyǒu qíguài/fake friends are so weird
你说你没咬我 可是 我看到你爱/Nǐ shuō nǐ méi yǎo wǒ kěshì wǒ kàn
dào nǐ ài/you say you never bite me but I see that you “like”
Looking for no fakes, no snakes
The quest
Tribe
Lose a couple people in my life tonight
I just might
I set all the protocols
you toxic dummies double like
I’m my own worst enemy
become the toxic in your life…
(u’ll say anything for the clout online)
Toxic
It’s not fun to post anymore
What do you want me to see that for?
Too many requests to ignore (too many)
We gotta
We gotta be real
Gotta feel
Gotta heal
U chose ur drugs over me
I know ur highs won’t set u free
(Go touch grass)
It’s time to log off

Honestly, what will become of me?
Don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But, really, life is dandy
We are what we don't see
We miss everything daydreaming
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Traveling, I only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way, I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets in, and I don't cry
I only feel gravity, and I wonder why
Flames to dust (dust)
Lovers to friends (friends)
Why do all good things come to an end (end)?
Flames to dust (dust)
Lovers to friends (friends)
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an
Why do all good things come to an
Come to an end, come to an (end)
Why do all good things come to an end?
The dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Die
die
die
die
Flames to dust (dust)
Lovers to friends (friends)
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an (end)
Why do all good things come to an end (end)?
Come to an end (end), come to an (end!)
Why do all good things come to an end?
Well, the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should
Stay away for a day
Till the feeling went away
And the sky was falling
And the clouds were dropping
And the rain forgot how to bring salvation
The dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
So that they could die...
