It's way past bedtime and I'm still sitting here
Binge-watching some drama-comedies
It's funny how these actors can draw such potent tales while I can't
It seems so easy for them to put their lives together
Why does life feel so unfair? It's so unreal
And it's already 7 am
Should I really get up from this bed?
Should I cope again with that bunch of spurious masses?
'Cause putting on this fake smile yet again
And appreciating things I shouldn't feel goddamn tiring
Smoking a pack or two and star-gazing on top of the hill
Tryna avoid the busy streets and the other toxic things
It ain't so good to know that I've been doing this for ages
And knowing that my life has been meaningless
(I hope emptiness ain't gonna kill me)
I prefer to be all by myself
'Cause I can't keep these connections
Hiding in plain sight
Pretending to be who I'm truly not
"No one can hear you"
"Nobody cares about you"
The sounds I've been hearing
Inside this empty head
"Ain't nobody gonna love you"
"No one concerns about you"
I'm filled with nothing but worries
Inside this empty head

Thank Heaven

I'm not perfect and never will be
And it's all right I'm not looking for sympathy
These gloomy lights keep controlling me
Into the wretched realm I shouldn't be
Deeply and deeply
I don't want to be a wrong decision
But the irony builds me up like I'm less than nothing
I used to think clear and strong
But now I'm just a joke who suffers in silence
Thank heaven, I'm in hell

What if my life is a joke
A withered joke that's used just to make "it" happy and tickled
And it doesn't even let me taste the fruit of my own exaltation
Then what if my bliss suddenly says, "Goodbye and let's die"
And it doesn't want itself to ever come by
What if I don't want the morning to follow
Cause it's too goddamn bright
What if the blue sky doesn't wanna change to its color anymore
As it thinks it's not right
As it thinks it doesn't deserve it anymore
(I've been asking myself what is it like to hate joy, or, like, what's
the point of questioning this kind of thing, but, isn't it the purpose
of our lives? Or is it, though? Well, questioning, loving, hating, living, whatever)
And I know reality's cheesy sometimes
Yet I also understand that I'm just a tourist in this mean, callous place
I'll pass across like a shadow
And when I cease to exist, nobody'll even fucking care
What if all of them just happen all of a sudden
Well, apparently, I'm just gonna sink with the sun
I'll be faded with the sun
And I'll be rotten
And I'll be burned
I will be...

We've known each other's name
We've held each other's hands
So why don't you get out of the land
'Cause I'm here still buried in mundane
We've known each other's name
We've held each other's hands
But why aren't you out of the land
Cause I don't think someday I'd be willing to see you with another man
We've known each other's name
We've held each other's hands
Why haven't you got out of the land
'Cause this time I don't want to lose you again and again and again
We've known each other's name
We've held each other's hands
But why ain't you out of the land
We've known each other's name
We've held each other's hands
So please get out of that land
And when you have already I'll be wearing the same amber shirt as I did on 23rd back then
The set of your eyes altered my tedious existence
Knowing the fact that I won't bite my nails ever again
'Cause you've changed my dull steps
So I don't have to dwell under that rock again

Your tiny hands, my broad shoulders
I can't hold it any longer
My huge hands, your sweet short hair
Erasing all of my despair
You said you needed to go, I know
But I can't let this feeling grow
But you're his and I'm no one
How could I be someone you want?
I hope you're okay
And I'm sure that you'll be fine
I know my ground and won't step the line
I know you'll be happy
And I'll be gone eventually
But it's okay dear
I won't be your worry
I won't be naive I love you
But I know my place
I won't bother you
I'm happy enough when your tears spilled down my shoulder
I know you'll forget it
But I sure as hell never forget it
I know my ground and won't step the line
I know you'll be happy
And I'll be gone eventually
But it's okay dear
I won't be your worry

Eitherway. Malang, Indonesia
Four adjacent pals Arifin Kurniawan, Bagas Asfriansyah, Guntur Maulana, and Ridho Asadul Haq decided to put themselves
together as a devil-may-care coterie called Eitherway. sometime in 2017.
Originated from Malang, Indonesia—and Tangerang, too, apparently—they seem to want to bring up whatever comes in mind without neglecting their schmaltzy-punk roots.
