To be (an e.p)

Hello hello. For the past two weeks and a half I've been putting together a compilation of 3 songs: Eyes, Hurry, and To Be. The name of the e.p is To Be and I was super lucky to work with Ayse O, Tian L, and San O for this project. Here are the words and videos below! There are also some picture from the project at the very bottom that didn't quite make the cut but were still fun to create.

Eyes
Look at the stars follow their light home
They cross the world
Looked in your heart you carry the night
Hoping that someone looks in to their eyes
Hoping that someone saves them from the fire
Hold me tight
Hold me from the light
Cause I’m wrapped in dynamite
And I’ll go up in the sky
I’m verified
A broken sound cuts my throat kept it down, cold oh I know there goes my life through the grove in pieces for a couple dimes, a couple times
Over the waves in to the air, they cross the world
A hand in the void, searching my mind
Hoping that someone looks in to their eyes
Hoping that someone catches in the fire
Hold me tight
Hold me from the light
Cause I’m wrapped in dynamite and I’ll go up in the sky
I’m verified, a broken sound in my throat
Soaking in blood, warm
Oh I know, there goes my time down the road in pieces for a couple dimes
a couple times
____
Hurry
Don’t grow up in hurry, the time will come quickly
Look in their eyes while you can
They’ve learnt how to worry, numbers and stories
Align in the office lights, it’s a fine filter, hold on to you liquor
Or your mother’s words, read between the lines
They only get thick, Raise another glass of wine
Chorus:
For you, for you, sad truth
Release, for lease, that’s you
Get sold, have more, have more, have more, for you
Phone, phone calls to twitter, distance gets bitter
Live to the images, close the door
Varnished food, now doesn’t this taste good, have a nice afternoon
Endless, relentless illusions, no need to have proof in Rhode Island
The signs come in so quickly simultaneously, don’t open your eyes now
Chorus

To Be
Who? did someone make it out alive?
was deep in a tunnel underground
did know where the light went all I knew was the echo escaped
did you hear it too?
in the room filled with diet cokes
and all the things we are told and somehow I still kept my eyes closed
but then I got cold, so opened my eyes
doubted, I tried to keep it simple
looking at his dimples thinking this is be branded as cute
so it must be cute, I'm wearing my brothers shoes
I guess that makes me a tomboy,
ever come across that I don't give a damn how look
Chorus:
how I look is not proof, who you are's beyond you
let alone all the beauty gurus and the childhood cartoons
you thought that it'd be cool to be just like the ones on the screen
no trees in the city but still a place lost in the evergreens
forgotten where value sits, not stepping in between
watch all the people losing their minds over white shirts and levi jeans
silent streets, forgotten how much I mean
cause everything I see states it's not enough just to be cause being's for free
Being's for free, beings for free, beings for free
I, I've been living a lie
but I've been everything I wanted and what I wanted was for someone
to realize that I'm not the different
Breath for yourself, aim for your health
your thoughts blend in to how you think others see you
oh come let me give you a hand
Chorus
