Group: *Chatting*
The Artist: Hey, see you guys later.
Group: *says goodbye*
The Voice: You do know they don’t like you, right?
The Artist: Yea, well, maybe, maybe not. Who cares?
The Voice: You do. You just don’t realize it.
The Artist: Sure, whatever…
The Voice: You talk to me as if there’s nothing weird about it, anymore.
The Artist: I mean, you’ve been in my head for so long. I don’t even remember a time where I didn’t hear you.
The Voice: Do you think I’m right?
The Artist: What do you mean?
The Voice: Do you think I’m right when I tell you something?
The Artist: Sometimes, yea.
The Voice: And when I’m not?
The Artist: Well, then I just have to roam around in the dark, looking for the real answer.
The Voice: Are you often left in the dark?
The Artist: Where is this going?
The Voice: I don’t know, it’s you who is writing this conversation.
The Artist: What are you talk…
The Voice: And to be honest with ya, this is quite a cliché intro. Every rapper has already done the dark voice talking to you. But you, you don’t even have a messages with it. Is it just cause it sounds cool?
The Artist: I have no idea what you’re going on about?
The Voice: Yes you do. This all started in your head. You created this. You created me, therefor you created the questions I’m asking.
The Artist: Wait wha…
The Voice: What is the meaning behind this?
The Artist: I don’t know!?
The Voice: Hmm, I suppose that might be the meaning behind it.
The Artist: What?
The Voice: To not know. To be in the dark. To be hopeless. To be… empty.

Empty

[Hook]
Oooooh, every time, I fall in love
I know it won't be enough
Cause my heart is like an empty box
And, oooooh, why do I feel so lost?
I can’t find a simple thought
So empty ‘till the day I’m gone
Oooh…
[Verse 1]
I fall in love, yea, that's my damn problem
Feelings go wild when I see a girl, I can't stop them
Hey beautiful stranger, think you can fill my heart? I don't
I can't afford your dreams baby girl, cause I'm broke
But maybe I spoke, a bit too quickly
Cause you're looking at me, did I just see you winking?
I'm thinking that this could be a romance story
With corny compliments and kisses, in all its glory
No need to hurry we’ll get married in the next month
Give me your number, you'll get details via text hun
You'll be the best mom how many do you want?
(Shhh) No need to talk now, we got a lot of time, to bond
And then just like a truth bomb I'm back to reality
She's looking scared, apparently I've been staring, geez
It's your fault, with those eyes that you sent me
I'm meant to be alone, so don't tempt me empty
[Hook]
Oooooh, every time, I fall in love
I know it won't be enough
Cause my heart is like an empty box
And, oooooh, why do I feel so lost?
I can’t find a simple thought
So empty ‘till the day I’m gone
Oooh…
[Verse 2]
I see this girl on vine, and she’s so beautiful
If I got to meet her, that’d be a freaking miracle
I really wanna be with you, not just a lover (no)
I feel like we could learn a bunch, from each other
And you’re funny, did I forget to mention that
You got my attention fast, by shaking that amazing ass
And I don’t mean it like those guys, in the club
I don’t wanna see you strip, just dancing, is enough
Cause you’re hot as fuck, I’m not gonna tell lies
Don’t you blink girl, I wanna look in them eyes
Yea the world’s got problems, I don’t care about those things
As long as I can hold onto you, like a nose ring
But that’s a broken dream, I won’t meet you
Outside of my phone, hah, I don’t see you
If I could just chat with ya, that’d be a start
But my inbox is empty, just like that thing I call my heart (argh)
[Hook]
Oooooh, every time, I fall in love
I know it won't be enough
Cause my heart is like an empty box
And, oooooh, why do I feel so lost?
I can’t find a simple thought
So empty ‘till the day I’m gone
Oooh…
[Verse 3]
Enough about girls, there’s other things in my life
Like the fact most of the time, I can’t write
I hate it, this is the only thing I love to do
And then my brain’s just like “Hmm, I’m gonna fuck with you”
So I’m often staring at a blank page, empty
This is my priority, so I don’t seem, friendly
But man, those days where the words just flow
That’s the best thing I know, even better than pizza bro
“So oh no, here he goes, talking problems and stuff
Even his rhymes sucks” what you got a problem you fuck?
You want dope rhymes? Then I give you some beast shit
Eat your own words you monster, like faeces
You bitches better be ready to run and hide
Cause I’m gonna fuck you all when I come inside
I’m not empty anymore, that’s how this EP started
My music is like STD, hah, you got it!?
[Hook x2]
Oooooh, every time, I fall in love
I know it won't be enough
Cause my heart is like an empty box
And, oooooh, why do I feel so lost?
I can’t find a simple thought
So empty ‘till the day I’m gone
(And the hook goes)

[Hook - The Artist]
What the fuck is the problem with me?
I never act responsibly
I just lay all day, and procrastinate
That’s the part of me, that I hate
What the fuck is the problem with me?
I act shy and awkwardly
People run away, so I just stay and say
I don’t wanna make friends, just wanna make this day
[Verse 1 - The Artist]
I started working out, I wanna improve me
But that’s harder than it looks in the movies
The motivation is gone, so now it’s, getting rough
I just wanna lay and read, but that would be, giving up
Man my cousin is disappointed, when I skip our appointments
He was gonna work out with a friend, and I said I'd join them
But I cancelled on the day, that's my anthem shit
Don't give me responsibility, I can't handle, it
Fuck, all these people saying that I am a grown-up
I hate it but it won’t stop, feels like my head is, gonna fucking blow up
I didn’t show up when they we handing out responsibility
So I get drunk instead of working out, man this is killing me
I know it might sounds stupid to skip, just one day
But that’s how cowards work, we run away
So you can quote me, and make fun of, what I say
But there’s not a time when I’m not worrying, no, not a day so hey
[Hook - The Artist]

[Verse 2 - ALi The Prodigy]
It's the, major glory of satans story, how far I've fallen
My Demons swarm me, they control me, witness how lost I've gotten
Losing face, with no pot to piss in, just here recording
If this is my fate my decisions have all been taken for me
I remember when I would never, relate to sorrow
And now I'm waking up with a girl I hate and empty bottles
Man listen, this isn't what I initially pictured, kodak
Day by day, I live just to show, that I coulda been, anybody else and I know that
I see these repeats, increasing, weeping, tell me do i get a freebie
If I'm still reaching, thinking, looking at the drink like, is this really gonna free me? (fuck)
Looking back, at creating flows, to pass the time is
Losing track of my sacred goals, because my life is
Written poorly, misinforming baby, cuz surely
I'm Jason Vorhees with the mask I'm holding constantly morphing
Should I sacrifice my life to have the fans adore me?
I know better but doing betters another story
[Hook - The Artist]

[Verse 3 - The Artist]
I got a best friend but we keep on testing
Arguing, ‘till one of us, moves on to the next friend
And I mean, he’s there for me but apparently
We need to go into some friendship therapy
Cause we’re always at each other even though he’s like a brother
And I guess I’m kinda scared that he’ll move on to another
Hah, sounds like we’re fucking dating, and honestly
That’s how it feels sometimes, and that’s something that I’ve come to see
He’s making fun of me because I am a brony
Like I don’t give a fuck what you watch come on homie
You fucking know me you know - how I am
So why do you try to call me at this - hour, man
On the day that I write this, we had a BIG argument
But I know he’s gonna write tomorrow, asking “how I’ve been”
And I say “I’m good” and I’ve got no doubt, I'm sure
He asks "wanna smoke some hookah?" and I’m already out the door
[Hook x2 - The Artist]

I Remember

[Intro]
I have a really bad memory. But some people just seem to stick in my mind, one of them is my cousin Mikkel…
[Verse 1]
I remember when we made our own Jackass show
And we kept making more after the first video
I remember when I by mistake, poured coke on my phone
You laughed so much, that you almost choked
I remember when we built a snowman, and raped it
I remember all the girls, that you started dating
That's a long time ago, so I'm not scared to say
I was jealous of you, in every possible way
Cause you were doing the cool stuff, and I wasn't
I had a couple of friends, you had a dozen
I remember when we smoked a joint with your friend
And this time, I almost choked to death
I remember every Monday, I came to visit
But you didn't want me to, so I thought “what is this shit?”
We were growing apart, but I wasn't ready
Because to me you were more than just, cousin Mikkel
I remember when we stayed up late playing games
Or, you were playing, I was watching, same same
I didn't mind, you were better at the playing part
But I helped you with the puzzles, guess I was playing smart
I remember the time we went to your friends party
And I drank a bit too much, so I started barfing
You were there by my side, I still apologize
That you had to look after me, all damn night
I remember how I used to say, that you were my best friend
You might have forgotten, but I remember what you meant
Guess it had to end we never meet, like bad friends
But I remember how I used to be, back then
[Break]
I mean, we still meet, unlike someone else I used to know…
[Verse 2]
I remember when we first met, you and your pink hair
You were so outgoing, while I’ve always been scared
Of talking to new people, especially in my teen years
So I remember how I thought, that you seemed weird
I remember when I first heard you sing, wow
Even though we’re not friends, that’s still what I think, now
I remember when you took the, pink out
And changed it to brown, turning 180 around
I remember when I found out that you were a brony
Or a pegasister? A fan my little pony
So I wanted to build a friendship hoping it
Would be with someone, I could be open with
And it was I remember the stuff we shared
Told you some weird shit, but you didn’t really care
You were there for me, and it’s true
But I fucked it up, when I feel in love with, you
And that’s the thing, I look back at what we were
But I can’t do it for long, cause that shit hurts
I remember every time you burst into tears
I remember every time I almost did, and how it feels
To be with someone who drives you crazy, no really
Sometimes you were laughing, sometimes you wanted to kill me
But you had a fiancé, and didn’t turn me down hard or quick
I should have kissed, to see what you’d do if I did
But you wouldn’t want me to, you don’t love me
So now when I’m looking at you, all I see is ugly
By the end I weren’t you friend, you just needed company
But I remember when our friendship was built on honesty
[Break]
We totally avoid each other, like the thing with my family…
[Verse 3]
I remember the times when we went to that summer place
And we saw the big waterpark, we were all amazed
It was great we were there, all together
I remember how I thought, it will never get better
But I remember when Chris came back, from Norway
I didn’t know how much I missed him, but it was all great
Cause he was back and we could chat daily
We didn’t, but that’s cause I got problems baby
I remember when our great-grandmother passed away
It was a tragedy, and we were all sad and grey
I remember I wanted to write something in her honour
I wasn’t good enough back then, but now I’m gonna
I loved you Lizzy, we all did
You were a piece of our hearts, and when you left, we lost it
But you didn’t die sad, so we won’t take it too hard
Cause I know you’re happy, wherever you are
You’re not the only one that left, dad’s not with us
He didn’t even come to your funeral, that shit’s fucked
I’m sorry, but I can’t keep quiet anymore
Dad, I don’t understand the fire in your core
I mean, do what you want, you’re your own man
But why the fuck won’t you act like a, grown man
This is your own family, I just think it’s sad
That you don’t even miss your own mom or dad
Or your siblings, or their kids, you don’t see them grow
Do what the fuck you want, but I want you to know
You could come back, nobody cares about your temper
But if you don’t then the whole family will remember forever
[Outro]
There, I said it…

The Light

*Writing on the pc, quietly practicing lyrics*
The voice: Are you happy?
The Artist: Not when you’re talking to me…
The voice: I’m serious, are you happy?
The Artist: *sighs* is anybody in this world truly happy?
The voice: That’s not an answer, that’s another question. It’s a fairly simple question I’m asking you. Are you…
The Artist: No, okay, I’m not happy. Is that what you wanted to hear?
*Silence*
The voice: Why are you not happy?
The Artist: Do you ever stop asking stupid questions all the time?
The voice: No, now answer me.
The Artist: I don’t know alright. I don’t know anything, I’m a dumb motherfucker who’ll never be happy because I’m always think about everything I’m doing instead of just enjoying life.
The voice: So you do know.
The Artist: What?
The voice: You might not know what you know, but you do know it.
The Artist: That doesn’t make any sense.
The voice: Maybe not… do you still feel like you’re left in the dark?
The Artist: I don’t know.
The voice: Cause I think you’ve found the light.
The Artist: Yea, cool, whatever, will you shut up? I’m trying to finish this album here.
The voice: What’s it called?
The Artist: It’s called mind your own fucking business.
The voice: *laughs* I will do that then.
*Long silence*
The Artist: It’s called “All Alone”. It means a great deal to me.
The voice: I see. Good luck with making it then. And I’ll leave you for now
The Artist: Will you be back sometime?
The voice: I don’t know. But I do know you don’t need a dark voice in your head, when you yourself, have found the light.
