What If 04:58

LYRICS Remember when I was the one who lit up your eyes and warmed your thighs Now here we are, like when we met, strangers I don't feel better with or without you Is what you said to me once Those words cut so deep But now that we’re through I feel it too What if we started over What if I made you fall in love with me All over again What if we started over What if I made you fall in love with me All over again Or what if I became no one's woman We're like stained glass windows When it's bright outside we shine, but in darkness we have to cast the light from within Maybe I don’t have it in me To breathe in new air To write my story Each voice in me that breaks through Is drowned out by the doubt I caught from you What if we started over What if I made you fall in love with me All over again What if we started over What if I made you fall in love with me All over again Or what if I became no one's woman Can’t catch my breath Looking down from the ledge Teasing, taunting, calling to the void What if we started over What if I made you fall in love with me All over again What if we started over What if I made you fall in love with me All over again Or what if I became no one's woman

River 04:00

There's a place I know Where the blues are bright the sky is high Earth sighs and pain is pacified But back inside it’s cracked and dry I make it home to find shelter From myself Do you hear me I'm talking to you Why deny the lightness of air Why do you live in your loss Embrace the freedom of the current Wash over me Like a starving seed Needs a river Needs a river Hypnotize deep And run through me Like a river Like a river I can't make sense of it but I can sense all of it The hunger of desperate parasites Sometimes I wanna drown Nothing ever scares me more I know I’m already there Do you hear me I'm talking to you There's a person bigger than your view Stop chasing blind divinity You’re home, when you welcome me Ooooo Let the river flow, river flow, river flow Let the river flow, river flow, river flow Let the river flow, river flow, river flow Let the river flow, river flow, river flow Flow in me Wash over me Like a starving seed Needs a river Needs a river Hypnotize deep And run through me Like a river Like a river Wash over me Like a starving seed Needs a river Needs a river Hypnotize deep And run through me Like a river Like a river

At first kiss I bite With every next one I share a warmth that lets you know it’s alright A taste like no other You can nurture me You can't claim me There’s nothing for you until I’ve got enough for myself I'm wild, you can't tame me But maybe I'll share my secrets tonight Sip me slowly Don't get greedy I'll be worth your time Espadin, Elote, Coyote You try to label me But even in my family I am my own strand Grow on integrity Vulnerability You better be patient and loyal and here for a love worth tears I'm wild, you can't tame me But maybe I'll share my secrets tonight Sip me slowly Don't get greedy I'll be worth your time

AERI feat. Decora - Rather Be 03:39
lyrics

Chorus Rather be alone than lonely with you I'm always craving more than I'm getting Rather be alone than lonely I can’t untaste the sweet and heat that controls me Verse 1 Give me the glory of solitude these walls in my head remain a cage with occupants of two You play in my mind a tape that rewinds every replay is a reframe of the feels I want to feel again Stroke my arm, look me in the eye Can you reassure me that this thing between us hasn't died? Chorus Rather be alone than lonely with you I'm always craving more than I'm getting Rather be alone than lonely I can’t untaste the sweet and heat that controls me Verse 2 How dare you neglect me And need me at the same time Like a string you dangle me affection threads my insecurity a cat's cradle your hands idle and carelessly cruel The weight of your callous I can no longer endure Chorus Rather be alone than lonely with you I'm always craving more than I'm getting Rather be alone than lonely I can’t untaste the sweet and heat that controls me Verse 3 There’s that off balance go ask Alice with no malice type feeling with no ceiling no ending It’s deep but depending on how lonely we can get with this deep ending enough pretending It’s always raining on my side So the grass is always greener but the sun don’t come out as much so my answer’s always leaner and the fence is making us good neighbors but my emotions be leaving I’m sorry We like two ships passing at night, aight and we’re staring out the stars cus it’s so bright I mean where’s it gonna take us and are we gonna wake up? Sometimes ain’t enough make up in the world to make up Sometimes you just gotta part ways and break up I’m tired of being lonely too But that don’t mean I want you to feel the same way I’m feeling when I’m going through what I’m going through Damn Chorus Rather be alone than lonely with you I'm always craving more than I'm getting Rather be alone than lonely I can’t untaste the sweet and heat that controls me Rather be alone than lonely with you I'm always craving more than I'm getting

Horizon 03:45

I want the feeling of lungs exploding Where every breath, I swallow the sun I want to drown, I'm addicted to the thought But to my dismay, my body floats And the current takes me home Breathing new life Into the very lungs I discarded Hit the reset, unravel the rules Give me the wisdom of the ocean And the eyes of the kid on shore Break the cord Untether me Detoxify my mind And take me to the horizon where The sun and water meet I wanna know what they talk about... When the ocean, mutes the noise I hear a song from my internal stereo It's no longer just a minor key But optimistic melodies I want to live a life anew Where I protest myself And have the courage to be happy Break the cord Untether me Detoxify my mind And take me to the horizon where The sun and water meet I wanna know what they talk about... To watch you move makes me still I want more Dress me in your aura Undress my soul

I would Hold onto this moment If I could Build a gallery of unsaid understoods Bottle every breath that Escaped me I would Spend my life in a desert If could Bathe in cold water that rushed back to you Catalogue each sensation On my skin Let it go When it's most beautiful Nothing will last but Memories dance with you When it's most beautiful Nothing will last but Memories dance with you Mmmmm Let's leave While the nectar on our lips are still sweet Stop imagining all that could be Preserve all that is so It never rots Take me Deeper into my own two feet Lift all rules and love generously Extend every moment to eternity
