It’s nice to meet you And I heard you had a place to stay You let me in And you tell me everything is OK Things are great So you think you might love me now You take advantage When you think that my defenses are down I am chasing old habits And I’m falling down their holes And I’m chasing old habits And I’m Running out of soles Chasing old habits Slaying old habits I’m running from habits that are Pinning me down I trusted you But you built a cage Around my will And now I’m stuck With no way out except to spill You could’ve stopped But you made my life a living hell Just one last thing I’ll find this freedom from where I fell

You’re Venus de Milo And I’m your weight Crush the pavement Break you down Perfection fall away Lay me down What’s left to hide Reflecting all You can’t abide Whether now We cool and warm It evens out We’ve been warned You’re Venus de Milo Reconcile our fate Hope unleft Semantically We becomes a they
3.	Lack Of Access 03:28	lyrics	buy track
It’s bent up It’s so twisted You’re playing us like we missed it We don’t have the power for changing So you just keep rearranging Now it works for only you (ooh ooh) Everyone is so damn through (ooh ooh) We can’t fix it so why even try Everything has gone so far awry You take licks on our morality You make us question our reality Believe in what I don’t anymore A generation never heard is no more We’re making history Be a part of this story You question us but we keep changing All you’re doing to us is estranging Stuck in history is where you’ll be (ee ee) While we make our final plea (ee ee) I can’t do anything for you (ooh ooh) This is something you must do (ooh ooh) Save us or save yourself It’s something that hides inside as well You make life full of banality Tell lies to cover up your vanity Believe in what you don’t anymore A generation you have learned to ignore We’re taking history Be a part of the story
4.	With You 04:20	lyrics	buy track
It just clicked one day I think it was Saturday Had an epiphany Was feeling all fidgety What is wrong with me Did I lose the key? Did your heart close to me? As I made my last plea With you with me There’s never any we It’s all lies You made me cry One too many times You took my heart from me was an attack on me Made a decision to leave Shame on you Shame on me Why did you lie to me? Did you find the key? Did I fight for nothing? As you dropped to your knees
5.	Let's Go (Run) 05:04	lyrics	buy track
Bright lights take away the fear Hiding no one else can leer Waiting for my moment to be clear Dancing so no one can come near Let’s run away Let’s play We can find another place Right now It’s 3am but we can keep Keep on going Bright lights Bringing in the fear Darkness is hiding all the tears We’re leaving With nowhere else to go Watching We’re never going home Let’s run away Let’s play We can find another place Right now it’s 3am but we can keep Keep on going It’s late just stay I don’t want to be alone Let’s go Just keep on going
6.	The Links 03:32	lyrics	buy track
What’s the point of this if we aren’t together You’re so cool When you trip in the room We’re wasting time Delusional minds What’s in my little head is what you find You’re such a little shit at times Metagaming my heart There were signs Hang around Get hypnotized Fall for it then Get criticized Purple elephants and Green dragons All illusions About our passions Wanna slap your face Think you’re so funny You buffed your stats and looked a fool I roll my eyes and know it’s true You never did follow any RAI You’re such a little shit at times Metagaming my heart There were signs
7.	Boppin' Along 02:58	lyrics	buy track
Can you hear me From wherever you are You stare ahead sightless As you hear me so far I wanna know How does this make you feel? Sometimes fiction turns out to be fact Just something that happens Maybe you’ll hear me Something will click But then again Who really knows? I can’t tell you All the secrets to life Because it might end with a little bit of strife I can’t help you I’m just a fraud Wish I wasn’t so flawed I’m reaching out to you Through the universe You really need to hear This first Heed my advice Take it as a warning Things are not as seen in the morning Sometimes fiction turns out to be fact Just something that happens Maybe you’ll hear me Something will click But then again Who really cares?
8.	Don't Say It 03:20		buy track
9.	Color & Light 03:49	lyrics	buy track
You don’t decide When you grow up It’s all a construct of Chance, happenstance and such Adapt or you will find only loneliness Strength only leads to more weakness It will take you years to discover What I found out in just minutes Holding on To what I believed in Bowing to All the opinions Finding out You really don’t matter Wish I would have learned all the lessons I wouldn’t have to decipher Go back to the start of the verse Nothing is void of meaning sometimes it’s so mixed up Change and you’ll be given a label Denial only makes this more painful Don’t take as long You’re expected You need to be Calm and collected Realization makes This uncomfortable Going though it seems so personal Everyone is taken away and given away The lies become clear I see the clichés
10.	Voices Carry 04:02	lyrics	buy track
In the dark, I'd like to read his mind But I'm frightened of the things I might find Oh, there must be something he's thinking of To tear him away-a-ay When I tell him that I'm falling in love Why does he say-a-ay Hush, hush, Keep it down now, Voices carry Hush, hush, Keep it down now, Voices carry I try so hard not to get upset Because I know all the trouble I'll get Oh, he tells me tears are something to hide And something to fear And I try so hard to keep it inside So no one can hear He wants me, but only part of the time He wants me, if he can keep me in line Shut up now, voices carry Hush hush, darling, she might overhear
11.	Take A Bow 03:06	lyrics	buy track
In the shadows is where I lied We were taught to hide Never ever be alone You can’t defend solo There’s someone out there Taking what he wants from you Be alert Wake up And pretend you’re tough Eyes on everyone With your fingers on the gun Keep it close Don’t let it go Take a bow So delicate So breakable Easily takeable You look so sweet But you take drinks from creeps Find someone strong that’s bound to make you Feel safe and sound Using paper To communicate And to keep Your secrets safe Lock up No delay Do things the right way In the afterhours

Opposite Forces Vol 1
by Your Friend Esteves

supported by 25 fans who also own “Circle & Light”

I enjoy synthwave songs that sound like they would still work with just piano or guitar. Your Friend Esteves writes such songs. Starting with well-written lyrics and making gorgeous synth tracks for them (and a couple of instrumental jams), you get a volume 1 that makes me want volume 2. FoxPuppy
