It sucks that you only liked me When I was I was tying to die I got healthy I got clean But you miss the broken me I’m sorry that I can’t do drugs with you anymore, For a thousand nights over 10 years You watched me try to disappear You didn’t say a thing You didn’t ask if I was ok I’m sorry that I can’t do drugs with you anymore Things of changed a lot this year But why would we want them to stay the same, Everything falls apart sometimes But we keep going keep staying Alive I’m sorry I can’t do drugs with you anymore

A new timeline a different curse Each go around is getting worse Look around try not hurt myself Realize I’m Alone in the multiverse I feel like everyone is a telepath Reading minds and talking smack, I see you driving round in your hurst Are you alone in the multiverse? Are you a villain I can’t really tell I mean heroes wear masks as well Freaks just trying to help the world But they’re still alone in the multiverse

i thought it was the end of days but it appeared that I’m only halfway just so we are on the same page i never really considered getting older before now I’m getting closer to the average age that most trans women have been killed or just passed away i think I’m going to try it out and stay, here I never really considered a future before now my body looks different but its not strange I’m learning how to enjoy the change i love you more and more with the passing of each day i never really considered forever before now before now i was broken i take full responsibility of my past i work hard to show you that I’m more than just a measure of good vs bad

do you have a good heart does it pump blood good? i wanna believe that the hype is true i wanna see the good things that you do but what makes a man start setting fire to their own life tell me what is the difference between the truth and your beautifully crafted lies you were saying things that were upsetting to me i got worked up and said something you quickly claimed that it was a personal attack i was just interested in why you were saying that do you have a good heart does it pump blood good? i wanna believe that the hype is true i wanna see the good things that you do but what makes a man start setting fire to their own life tell me what is the difference between the truth and your beautifully crafted lies what you were doing was upsetting to a lot of ppl you were hurting people so i said that you were hurting people i used words to describe the actions that repeatedly occurred I’m just interested in why you are doing that

I can look you in the eye You can crack me right open I am here two feet on the ground We will make through You are such a vision You’ve grown into yourself You’ve stuck with me Through this special type of hell I know I love you You’re my only truth Real love it isn’t fun sometimes Real love it isn’t always glamorous Real love is hard work Work I love and long to do With you For you For us
6.
So much poison in the world I pick it up and put inside myself I turn inward and Attack redirects my hurt, Safer than accidentally harming anyone else Was I made this way? Or do I just enjoy pain? Just to feel something To feel anything The body decays a Work of art Irregular beat from a broken heart It’s a shame the most vivid dreams of had, are all of being very dead
7.
If life is a test I failed every step You can read in on my face read it on my lips May the body I leave be puzzle to you Finally understand me, read the cues, Ignore the world ignore yourself You create your own world of hurt I don’t wanna bounce around being a burden anymore I’m sick being another lost boy Is there a time when we all start to grow up? Looking after yourself is not giving in Ignore the world ignore yourself You create your own world of hurt You can grow If you want, Plz don’t stay the same, If it breaks your heart.

about

THE FALL & DECLINE OF NAIF

"i want to look in the mirror the way i gaze at you
i want to learn how to be proud of myself
in the way that i am proud of you
i adore you

whats your crutch? could you do with out it?
its harder than it looks, im barely holding it together
here grab my hand,

we could do nothing together, we could do it all,
i think we just want company."


this album/art project was written/recorded/made in autumn 2018 by naif using their ipad and voice memos app on their phone, vocals recorded onto my phone one take and then layered a whole bunch aka fixed in post

ah the album title is a tribute to the legendary jangle pop band Heavenly

ok lets try be nice to each other
destroy the gender binary
set the world on fire lets start again
