Caught you staring at that corner Where I plant your favorite flower After all the years, can't help but wonder Does it get better? Does it still matter? I'm confused and dazed and somehow I can't read your face Now I'm no more what you had The version inside your head Well, I'm somewhere more than just that Every line we once aligned I don't mind, I won't mind Whatever weight I hold today I'm not going to break Pour the kerosene Throw the fucking match in No place for dismay Let the blaze light our way
2.
Let me set the time and place To celebrate your trace And the prayers I don’t believe in But I hope it finds you well Well I just need one more sleep Half wishing you’re in my dream Start to make believe you were there Watching over these damn routines Life’s a go Just keep on Trying to cherish for more We’re in a better place just so you know Bless the soil and grass Cause they witness our mess The ache is inconstant Still I miss you so bad The memories that I embrace Too much in months full of your trace Never enough Never enough I can’t avoid our time Four months all hopes and smiles To the point I want to be decent and better So you’d be proud of me All the smokes can’t blur the noise You’re the one that keep me poised Nothing matters anymore As long as I keep you for sure
3.
Don’t you want something out of this… Or you’re okay with what we’ve had? Keep it airtight Give no chance to fight So we can love for another day Is it the ending or just the sound… Of couple lies built to stand our ground Shaky road to redemption Rusted parts ain’t a reason
4.
You keep me up at night And I’m doing all my might Post all sub-tweets about you Just simping all over you You’re such a pretty sight You caught my sweaty eyes Will I ever call you mine Well I just didn’t bother to try The good news is you’re there But the bad news is you’re there with someone else I woke up feeling lost at dawn Well I guess the nightmare’s still on Here I am staying invisible Yeah, fuck you you’re invincible. Fuck your pretty drunken face Fuck your vibe on stage It’s all overwhelming Live rent free in me

Mr. Mice Guy 03:21
The fire goes out quietly The water sets them free How can we feel the warmth now? He speaks a million words And he will change your heart Who’s going to fill the void now? Can you keep tell us something sweet Tell us something so serene Hey, go make your way! All the colors will send its prayers We’re too lost so far and below now We’re too lost so far and below now Hey, I’ll just let it play All the laughs that makes us stay Every heart you touch turns beautiful Every heart you touch turns beautiful For all the warmth that makes us live in the moment We’ll carry on without you
6.
Can you stop knocking on my door I can’t take it further The guilt keeps coming back Like a ghost who keep my nightmares on track I’m giving too much shit To all things that are bound to repeat You pushed me to see through your lenses While I can’t even jump out of my own fences Reff: It has never been the best day Nor the worst one But… it just keeps me down and out For dead long To call it dull, yeah it’s cliché Let it burned out Cause… I’ve been running in circle since forever We’ve been sailing too long without the waves Apparently, safe space is an empty place All the promised lights are blinding Can’t see clearly while the mental health’s declining Give it a rest Tune em out for a little bit Leave it as is Be the mess we love to see
7.
The head spinning around The blood boils to the ground I lost us in the process And I can’t find a way to home But where the hell is home That we longing for I learn to understand “You don’t know what you got til it’s gone” The pain over friends In the name of a progress Time’s a luxury that we rarely have these days The good ones lost in the way “It’s normal” what the adult says this is the phase where nothing stays the same [Pre-Chorus] For all the stress we prioritize in over our damn weekend Left me wondering, will we see each other again? [Chorus] Is this the way you’re saying You’re no longer want it Is this the way you’re saying That you’re not staying I’ve stucked so bad I don’t anticipate We’re growing out Further and apart
8.
“Good things will come to those who wait” They say it’ll really be that great Learn it the hard way that everything beautiful will be ruined eventually How can we wait any longer When we don’t even have each other As if we know too much about tomorrow and how we’re gonna have it better Can’t you see my ears still burning… Off the nonsense that is so deafening In a precedented friction I can give you some prediction Guaranteed some same-old fiction Used to burn the bridge in addition I can only tell… Well it turns out our time is up When we’re about to fix things up While there are still a lot of things I wanna say to you and even fight about it They say that “Love” is such a strong word However, pride just keeps us under It’s safe to say that I’ve asked too much of us having normal conversations
9.
We’d be apart by the morning Yet the spellings of our name… They stay the same For what are we mourning?

Flowburn 02:44
In case you haven’t noticed I’m slowly leaving the abyss And there’s no better way to rephrase this Your existence is such a bliss All the scars and the bedsores I’m now settling the score Higher now than ever before There’s no point in taking it slow Turn off the light And make this right But not tonight
11.
The world’s a dumpster fire Everyday we walk on a wire But your voice cuts through the noise You’re the reason we stay poised While we’re in despair You’ll be there And it’s not rare We finally dare You’re our perfect anchor when we lost out there In a world so messed up and so fucked up You make everything alright You make everything feels more than enough Each time I’ve been through a hell of messed up stuff You found me, calling all my bluff. When everything’s changing You’re the ones that worth saving That one bright spot in life The major source of the strive

about

A debut full album from Jakarta-based Emo/Punk band, Cubfires.
11 songs featuring some of our good friends.
This is the showcase of us trying our best in life.

This 11-track album is a very strong contender to AOTY 2023, top 10 on my list, possibly as high as top 3. :)
