It’s dangerous to fall in love I never thought it’d come for us Surrendering my life for lust She came to me, it was enough It’s dangerous to fall in love A house of cards I couldn’t bluff Think hard about who you can trust I feel the rain from high above me now

Other World 02:30
A cigarette lasts every song Thought I wouldn’t catch you alone Well let me tell you It never feels good until you know The memories heal when you know ‘Cause I see you’re another world And I feel this other world And I keep my other world Hidden from you Believe I’m sorry
3.

Die 4 U 02:09
You know I would die for you I’m always gonna ride for you Loyalty until the end Bury me with my friends No rewriting history ‘Cause our love is plain to see Tough as a marble floor You’re part of my core
6.
Better Time 03:06
Look at my skin Does it wear everything that I’ve done Forgetting about All myself that I’ve lost and have won Questioning all my motivations Tempering all my expectations Searching through, my memory’s vacant I’m losing them I’m dreaming of a better time I’m leaving all my mess behind I’m dreaming of a better time I’m leaving all my mess behind Clouds in my eyes I reflect a disguise to the world Draped in white lies All their sheets look alive like pearls Shaking off my reputation Living through the bad temptations Searching for all I’ve forsaken I’m losing them
7.
For a long time I didn’t get my help For a long time I didn’t know myself

Cash falling from the ceiling 5am, I lost all my fucking feelings Do this every week, shaking off my demons Diamonds in my heart keep my beats in season I’m freezing Rolling like an avalanche Got me feeling like a slow dance Closing up my tab Then I hit you up, like, “Where you at” Pink & blue, I’m lonely Need someone to hold me Console me, control me I’m only the only This feels like a fever dream, I swear Cigarettes & perfume in my hair Waking up in places I don’t know, don’t care Turn up the lights I wanna see you shut down my mind I wanna feel you dominate me bad Yeah, mistreat me like a slave Power is the object Love is just a game A game I’m a shell I live two lives like Chanel I’ve seen both sides of hell The one I talk about And the one that I don’t ever tell anyone I suffer in silence like I’m scared That in the end I’ll be the only one who ever cared All I got is myself, I know All alone like I bike solo All these girls in the club act like they with me But they not for sure Pink & blue, I’m lonely Need you here to hold me And make me forget that no one really knows me
9.
Neon lights shine bright under these palm trees Night on the boulevard, straight cruising, living free My heart breaks when you lay your gray eyes on me I could write you sweet words all day You’ve been on my mental every way And you know I wanna ride with you I’m just tryna spend my time with you I’ve been feeling all your signs, baby You can read what’s on my mind, baby You know I wanna ride with you I’m tryna spend my time with you I’m feeling all your signs, girl You read what’s on my mind, girl Speeding down the freeway with the top off like we’re stars Arrive late to the function, pop two pills and fly to mars When we make it home, serenade you soft with my guitar I could sing you sweet words all night You can sleep over, that’s alright Even though it’s only physical You’re such a miracle I just wanna lose myself in you Feel this flow, it’s supernatural You got me mystical I just wanna lose myself in you Ahh, yeah
10.
Vai, minha tristeza E diz a ele que sem ele não pode ser Diz-lhe numa prece Que ele regresse Porque eu não posso mais sofrer Chega de saudade A realidade é que sem ele não há paz Não há beleza É só tristeza e a melancolia Que não sai de mim, não sai de mim, não sai Mas se ele voltar, se ele voltar Que coisa linda, que coisa louca Pois há menos peixinhos a nadar no mar Do que os beijinhos que eu darei na sua boca Dentro dos meus braços Os abraços hão de ser milhões de abraços Apertado assim, colado assim, calado assim Abraços e beijinhos e carinhos sem ter fim Que é pra acabar com esse negócio de viver longe de mim Não quero mais esse negócio de você viver assim Vamos deixar desse negócio de você viver sem mim Não quero mais esse negócio de você viver assim

I Don't Care 02:09
[jdv plus] I got nothing going on This night is gonna last so long I already wrote this song And I already called my mom (I got) Dirty dishes piling up (Bad thoughts) I don’t really give a fuck She asked me if I was eating my veggies Yes and I been hitting the gym, I’m being my best me Not Dude do you wanna go out No I just wanna smoke weed God I love my apathy And how it fucks up everything [jdv plus & Famous Friend] But I’ve been looking forward To the day it disappears And I’d get back all the moments That I wasted all these years But I would have to care enough To take care of myself And I don’t care [Famous Friend] I should really make my bed Go incognito mode instead I should really text my friends But I just keep ‘em on unread (Got banned) From my ex's OnlyFans (Oh man) I don't really give a damn She sent me a snap of her with my bestie Craig, you fucking dick, I can't believe you would betray me

Tamarind St 03:09
[jdv plus] Everything is changing I’ve seen the sun become the moon I’ve seen the stars look so blue When everything is out of tune There’s harmony in my room I gotta keep it in my mind That everything will be alright ‘Cause I know what the rocks feel like [Frank Hpeso] I don’t play, that’s something they know Assume the ceiling I have I know you don’t want no smoke They won’t catch me sleeping And I swear that’s all that I know I been stranded out in the cold Heating water up on a stove Breaking it down by the day My boys always ride for the cause That they’re planning to stay Now pleasing the people They know I ain’t taking the bait I don’t need to think about What they doing in the dark I just house-hop when I’m in the ‘ville Gone ten days, going state to state Drinking Benadryl For my sake and the others’ sake I stay home Still neglecting my own Try to hit me up, Jaime messages Then I pick up my phone, yeah [Glasstempo] Say that you’ll go this time Won’t be the one to go flying Won’t be the one in control We’ve been through this before [Curtismith] I was there A hundred thousand on the dashboard Flying out to a new trip I’ve been overusing my passport New clips, I rap more Take me ‘round the new city Out in that Jaguar This the gift that’s been given to me, Ma This the shit that I asked for Demons out in that black Porsche Thinking ‘bout my old school And how I kept dreaming over that blackboard The rat race, those trap doors Gon’ catch me sleeping And I ran the floors doing retail They all had me sweeping on cheap bail It’s a sweet tale Now I shop there But I got bigger agendas intended I’m not gonna stop there I keep ‘em out with a vision Ambition is kept on my top shelf Couple stores up in Rockwell Manifesting all my bigger dreams To make interesting put compound I been knocked down, but not knocked out

Autumn Rose 02:18
I’m sorry Please forget I said anything I’m tired Think I’ll pour myself another drink Then I look outside and All the leaves are falling down I sip one time and all my fears are talking now
14.
[Keekai] Didn’t think we would fit Was only here for a good time Had no intention to grow I’m worried to admit That I don’t wanna go back Way back, way back And try to figure out how to be sane And you’ve got time to waste, so stay And tell me how to be As good as you to me I’ll change [jdv plus] I just wanna, yeah, I just wanna like you I just wanna, yeah, I just wanna like you I don’t wanna, yeah, I don’t wanna fight you [Keekai] I’ll change So you said, “Hey baby” Go on and take it slow Give me a spin down the road You got a way with words So, boy, I ain’t tryna fuck it up I got you in my mind Trying to figure out how to be sane And you’ve got time to waste, so stay And tell me how to be As good as you to me I’ll change Tell me how to see myself Believe that I could change Wish that I could fall all over Fall over Fall for you Sorry I couldn’t fit Baby, it takes a minute Trying to be what you want Takes more than what I thought Don’t wanna start again I don’t wanna start again
15.
Lost in my city, read the stop signs Familiara Park, I just won’t feel alright Living a life that’s the most in twilight with you With you Ooh
16.
I feel so cursed I look in the mirror I tell myself, “You’re not worth it” But it’s everything to me if I say it is I can’t be anything but away with it I’m just looking in my mind, I can’t speak on it I’ve been helpless and down I’ve been scheming shit I don’t like it when they tell me I’ll never be shit ‘Cause that’s what they want me to believe I’m caught in your embrace I need my space and I can’t relate I’ve been trying to help my ways But it’s a lot, okay? I’m sick and tired of feeling like I don’t matter I’ve been on social media Yeah, my mind is scattered And I look in the mirror I don’t like what I see But I gotta remind myself just to be A straight natural I just wanna be a fucking natural ‘Cause I just want them to hear me Everything I say I just want the demons to go away I feel like young Conor Oberst I feel the same Yeah, we’re kindred spirits I’m not a lame And I take a sip of my fucking drink And I lose myself so that I can’t think I’ve never been so alone I just called you on the phone I never felt so alone But I know I’m home
17.
[Famous Friend] Fuck this, I don’t wanna talk shit Baby, I don’t wanna be bad I feel trapped inside my head Fuck love, you don’t get enough I don’t wanna be the one That takes us down that road today I don’t have to share it But I can’t bear it any more I know it’s stupid But I’ve been bruised up good before For saying much less than this, it’s silly Doesn’t even matter, really But I’m scared you’re gonna drop dead on the floor [jdv plus & Famous Friend] I need you to love the pain I know that you’re scared to But you should know I’m scared, too Yeah, why can’t we just love the pain [jdv plus] Dot dot dot dot on your screen What’s he writing now Fucker shook my hand and then asked you out Fuck your privacy, that’s not what this is about You both hid it so well, you should take a bow You say you wanna be together but you wanna be free But did you ever take a second to think about me Can’t help it, I’m jealous I know that it’s selfish But sometimes I can’t let things go
18.
I go back in circles I’m going round and round Turning, I’m uncertain I feel so lost and found Six feet in the ground I’m spinning Am I unraveling Like a piece of yarn I’m spinning Am I battling Causing my self harm I go back in circles Creating the same mistakes I don’t have what it takes To make the right decisions I’m gonna die this way I wanna die today Forever battling Causing my self harm
19.
[jdv plus] When my ocean overflowed with rain Your potion took away my pain I’ve been lost inside your disarray Since then I’ve never been the same Lone island, I try to find it Every second is another to desire Blue silence, I’m ultraviolet Victim to emotions, I can’t hide it [Rhys Langston] Booty bug I’m kept in my love When I see you fall I carry it all around me Floating me, us, slow to shore —, I became a bookcase in your bookshelf
20.
Red Leaves 01:09
Red leaves, they’re falling from the trees And I just don’t know why But I’m starting to cry Red leaves, they’re falling from the trees I look into your eyes And all I see is the night sky

about

SIDE A: TRACKS 1-12
SIDE B: TRACKS 13-23

This album is a collection of 23 tracks that I am ecstatic to release and finally say goodbye to. Recorded over several years, these songs range from deeply personal ballads to tracks wherein I simply fucked around and had fun. Some of them are fully fleshed out productions, and others are song ideas or demos that were never developed further but that you deserve to hear. The album also features several collaborations with other artists that I am honored to finally share.

I thank you and love you for sticking with me and supporting my art. While I ultimately do this for myself, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without you all.
