1.
A silent sigh, you let it go But you've fallen out of touch I hope in time it shows That the pain isn't much And don't be scared, it won't be long Just tread the passage out the dark When you find your song It sings a brand new start
2.
[Verse 1: Hypixi !!!] Sometimes I try to compete against your doubts While they believe that the word is out Though as it seems, none of this is true Man, you've got better things to do [Bridge: Hypixi !!! & Midnight Drift] Oh, it's all a lie I can't rely on you Oh, why don't you try to live your life from another point of view? [Verse 2: Midnight Drift] I don't know how to breathe at all Was it my fault should I take the fall All the broken memories we both share And all the feelings that were never there [Chorus: Midnight Drift, Hypixi !!!] Oh, who are you? You're all different from this point of view

Without U 04:11
I went through all my things And I saw a photo of you Remember times we've had And never stopped to realize Six whole years have gone (without you) I became a man (without you) Who would I look to? (without you) Without you by my side I don't know what I've missed on But I keep a picture of you in my mind (in my mind) "You look like him, talk like him, laugh like him" Who am I? (WHO AM I?) Without you, without you But at the end of the day, I knew you wanted what's best for me But who am I, without you now? Who am I? Who am I? WHO AM I?
4.
You brought me to my knees, and now I'm coming back again Cus' I still appreciate the pain, it's my medicine I'm pacing on the sidelines, crossing out the lies with a bottle of wine, oh It's hard to define, you have poison inside All black all white, all bad all night Your all the things i need and all of the excess Your drug is dangerous and that’s what I’ll regret Cus' all of the time I'm dying inside It's the damage that's caused by you The hearts that you break, the tears that you fake And worst of it all is I will still love you But I can't escape these open wounds That's just the price of loving you All all the mistakes we can't explain It's the poison inside of you But that's just the price I pay, I'd be nothing without you We're caught up in nothing chasing a moment we once had We're running in circles, we're falling for memories of our past We're caught up in nothing chasing the thought of who we were And now that we're falling, asking what do we deserve? We crash before we burn We crash before we burn
5.
I've been waiting for so long To figure out what went wrong Looking over all my flaws And all the damage that I've caused If only I could be so strong to look outside of me for once And if you came to me instead and took me by the hand and said; "But this is what you wanted, you decided to live So this is what you needed, when you're letting it go But if it's what you wanted, can you fight it alone? When I'm not around?" "So this is what you wanted you decided to live You come to me for comfort when you're trying to grow But if your sad and down and you've got nothing to give Just know you are not alone" "But this is what you wanted, you decided to live So this is what you needed, when you're letting it go But if it's what you wanted, can you fight it alone? When I'm not around?"
6.
I'm in and out of focus all the time And the world it gets more hazy as we read between the lines I'll make it up, I'll make it optimized And I'll make a pretty picture any way you like Oh, we could die today, but what would we become? Just another broken constellation? Oh, what if we survive? Shootings stars are bright So let's sing the message that we're living for Oh, what were we to do but take it in stride? Were we supposed to live out separate lives? I stood the grief that came with getting this far I'd take the moon, the sky, and all the damn stars I'd take it all for you, I got this far for you, I'd give my all for you So please, just see what I can do, I won't let you go, oh I won't let you go, no

Memories 04:17
When I look back to when you were mine, I'm just so torn up Was doing well, yeah, I felt so fine, but I've got no one to love now Keep it inside, the feelings we once had Wish I could reside in the feelings we once had In the memories Oh, will someone love me the way you did? Cus' I'm feeling like there's no one for me Who will pick me up and prove me wrong? Will someone set me free? Keep it inside, the feelings we once had Wish I could reside in the feelings we once had

Pleasure U 04:40
It's like the pressure's all on me Figuring out if we're meant to be You look at me with starlit eyes So why's our end the compromise? And you say to me that the love is gone So why are you still holding on? Just say to me, what I mean to you That you're using me just to pleasure you Just say to me, what I mean to you That you're using me just to pleasure you Look at you, hiding in disguise Fooling me with those empty lies Photogenic tragedies It's like a train-wreck in 3D But why do I still want some more? When falling isn't the same as before? Just say to me, what I mean to you That you're using me just to pleasure you Just say to me, what I mean to you That you're using me just to pleasure you Pulling out the plug but I won't drown Breaking up with me at the speed of sound Pulling out the plug, no, I won't drown Just tell me what you mean, oh Just say to me, what I mean to you That you're using me just to pleasure you Just say to me, what I mean to you That you're using me just to pleasure you "I just need to hear you say it" "I don't love you anymore" I'll never be the same Never be the same I'll never be the same Never be the-

Empire 04:02
Who am I now, when I look back inside my soul, who's keeping track? But somethings off, yeah somethings new, I can't look back when I'm with you Who am I now, when I look towards the mirror I'm not the kid we once all knew, whos filled with fear I was pondering, thinking of a better life where the skies are blue Realize that by the time we close this book, it's all for you So I go back, rebuild the whole empire in time to hold you close, oh I feel alive again, I won't look back on past mistakes, oh But somethings new, I'm not cold Yeah somethings new, and I'm dying to know So let's keep turning the pages, and break all the rules So I go back, rebuild the whole empire in time to hold you close, oh I feel alive again, I won't look back on past mistakes, oh
12.
When I look in the mirror All I see is dark Manifesting fears I never knew you then But I will know you now Times have changed for us We're getting through it all Just feel it with me now Touch Reality No matter what they say You will make it out It's better off this way Better off without All the worst mistakes Clogging up your mind With something that you'd find That doesnt make much sense It happens all the time If rules are meant to break And worlds were meant to fall Then none of this is fake None of it at all Maybe then we'll see What we're meant to be One day you'll be free And you'll be there with me

about

The 4th album by Midnight Drift dives deeper into his electronic and indie routes, splitting the album into two sides: One of walls of sound and heavy drops, and the other more stripped back blending live and sampled instrumentation. Aided by frequent collaborator Alex Graey and a new slate of collaborators, Midnight Drift explores writing based on traumas and events in real life, marking a departure from the fictional story-based writing of Strawberry Lemonade.

This album is dedicated to my dad.
Special thanks to Alex Graey, APackOfNewports, and Wyatt Albertson, for being around the most as I worked on this, to all the people I got to meet and work with along the way, and to my lovely partner ama, who helped shape my life for the better, and in turn changed the course of this album forever.
