Are you ready to be friends?
I love you.
I love you, too.
I want everyone to smile.
I think you can do it, ok?
I think you can do it, ok?
I think you can do it,
do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it.
Just try your best.
I just want everything to be settled down.
Down, down, down, down.

Creating New Patterns
05:38

Are you going through it?
Or are you growing through it?
I’ve been going through the thought of a future without you -
somehow it all still looks the same,
you’ve just been cropped out of the frame
and honestly…
it’s beginning to grow on me.
I’ve been going through the motions each day after day,
because the repetition of actions
help me hone in on my passions,
which have been…
growing through my every move.
I admit,
I was caught in a trip.
I fell off and lost grip,
and the static in my mind
it was nothing but a glitch
but you couldn’t see past the screens…
So you split,
you told me that was it.
didn’t care a bit,
just shoot a text and dip
save the .wav and .zip
we weren’t so well equipped,
well, not for shit like this.
we took a chance and slipped.
I’m creating new patterns.
patterns that push me
to be better than I was yesterday.
Yesterday is just a memory
that I stored in a backup hard drive
and shoved into a drawer.
My mind is sore from erasing you.
Erasing you because that’s how I get on with me.
With me - life is not easy -
But I told you that from the start,
so I’m a bit surprised as to why you stayed
if your heart ‘just wasn’t ready for this.’
This - is not an end.
it’s just a new beginning.
[ [ DROP 1 ] ]
I’m creating new patterns -
I’m writing new code.
new code to my life.
my life is something worth sticking around for.
Sticking around for too long can grow exhausting.
Exhausting every ounce of energy to reach you,
doing everything in my power to teach you
that being emotional is just part of the puzzle.
Part of the puzzle that you don’t want to acknowledge.
Acknowledge the growth in yourself.
Please. For the love of god.
You, yourself, are powerful.
You, yourself, are enough.
You, yourself.
[ [ DROP 2 ] ]
You didn’t love me, you loved the idea of me.
So now I carry around the idea of you -
I read you in a note from the Universe,
I hear you in our favorite song, and
I see your encryption in the faces of strangers
walking down Lexington.
Perplexed again.
Falling back in to old routines
to fill the in-betweens -
I did not mean for this to happen.
But I’m sure glad it did.
[ [ DROP 3 ] ]
[OUTRO] —->
I’m in a better place now.
I’m back in tune with the frequencies around me,
and they are reminding me that
- you and I -
we were a 404 that we chose to ignore -
there was a disruption in the code
that we seldom - spoke - of.
we existed as flickering white noise -
the dance between a thousand idiosyncrasies
flashing across the screen,
stuck on the wrong channel
for far too long.
we were a poor connection -
