ghost me 03:09
[Verse 1] You text my phone and give me good advice But I'm still lying here awake at night 'Cause I know me, I know me I should just go back to sleep and ghost me [Verse 2] Then the morning comes, it's all the same The words are echoing inside my brain It's not low key, I know me (Know me) Maybe I'll go back to sleep and ghost me [Chorus] I've been here for sure Been left on read and then you gently close the door It's nothing personal, but I've met me before Met me before, yeah, I’ve met me before [Verse 3] The screen keeps lighting up inside my phone (Lighting up inside my phone) Reebok keeps on sending coupon codes 'Cause I know me, I'm low-key (Low-key) Maybe I'll go back to sleep and ghost me [Chorus] I've been here for sure Been left on read and then you gently close the door It's nothing personal, but I've met me before Met me before, yeah, I've met me before I've been here for sure Been left on read and then you gently close the door It's nothing personal, but I've met me before Met me before, yeah, I've met me before [Bridge] Hey it's me Uh, just leaving you another message so uh Guess this is the message Uh, just call me back when you get a chance My phone number is, um... Hold on, I wrote it down somewhere [Chorus] I've been here for sure Been left on read and then you gently close the door It's nothing personal, but I've met me before Met me before, yeah, I've met me before I've been here for sure Been left on read and then you gently close the door It's nothing personal, but I've met me before Met me before, yeah, I've met me before

looking back 03:58
[Verse 1] Toe to toe You want me to relive it all Like fighting on the telephone but I'm not down for that On the coast Of what I never lived before Come closer let me see it all Before these feelings pass [Pre-Chorus] So close but far away from me The vision past what I can see So close but far away from me [Chorus] Maybe I believe in something It's all I've ever known and I can depend And I know the standard pretense But looking back I know I'll never be alone again [Verse 2] Toe to toe It's all that we've ever known And I'm just trying to make sense of your kind [Chorus] Maybe I believe in something It's all I've ever known and I can depend And I know the standard pretense But looking back I know I'll never be alone again [Pre-Chorus] So close but far away from me The vision past what I can see So close but far away from me [Chorus] Maybe I believe in something It's all I've ever known and I can depend And I know the standard pretense But looking back I know I'll never be alone again

van gogh 03:52
[Verse] Locked in a painting Of landscapes, wastelands Have I been forsaken by Van Gogh I swear the time keeps moving Cause my clocks are all Making conversation on my wall But tell me when can I see you [Chorus] So won′t you hold onto me now Like water lingers in the clouds Hoping we'll never hit the ground Won′t you hold on Won't you hold on [Verse 2] Can you hear my heart still beating To the song you play on every string And I keep on turning up my headphones [Chorus] So won't you hold onto me now Like water lingers in the clouds Hoping we′ll never hit the ground Won′t you hold on (Hold on, Hold on) Lost in the blur of the midnight Nothing's keeping me from you this time So won′t you hold onto me tight Won't you hold on (Hold on, Hold on) Won′t you hold on (Won′t you hold on) Won′t you hold on (Won′t you hold on) Won′t you hold on (Won′t you hold on) Won′t you hold on (Hold on, Hold on) (Won′t you hold on) So won't you hold onto me now (Won′t you hold on) Like water lingers in the clouds (Won′t you hold on) Hoping we′ll never hit the ground Won't you hold on (Hold on, Hold on) Won't you hold on (Hold on, Hold on) (Won′t you hold on, Hold on, Hold on) (Won′t you hold on, Hold on, Hold on)

[Chorus] It’s like I left my coat wide open in the pouring rain Running careless to your clutches as the flood awaits The typical erosion of a castaway It’s like I left my coat wide open in the pouring rain [Verse] Throwing rocks at your window And hearing knocks at an open door Just to live what you’ve been through Now the past got a hold no more I know you say that you want me Just looking back I know we’ve been hear before And I’ve expressed that you don’t own me Just take a gander at the rear view lore [Chorus] It’s like I left my coat wide open in the pouring rain Running careless to your clutches as the flood awaits The typical erosion of a castaway It’s like I left my coat wide open in the pouring rain

[Verse] You were different than anyone else Better yet you were yourself Just a look and the days would pass on along [Pre-Chorus] I think back to the words you said The cups still black now my eyes are red A picture phone for you and me But still only the memories [Chorus] All I know is I miss holding you close The kind of close we used to be And I pray, I pray that yesterday Was easier for you than me Easier for you [Verse 2] Just A little flicker and the time came then A pair of green eyes and mine met Just a look and the days would pass on along [Pre-Chorus] I think back to the words you said The cups still black now my eyes are red A picture phone for you and me But still only the memories [Chorus] All I know is I miss holding you close The kind of close we used to be And I pray, I pray that yesterday Was easier for you than me Easier for you Easier for you Easier for you [Solo] [Outro] Easier for you Easier for you Easier for you Easier for you Easier for you Easier for you Easier for you Easier for you Easier for you You were different than anyone else Better yet you were yourself

[Verse 1] Who cares what we do Our preacher's shoes Are selling views (Ahh) Charity events To pay for jets And make the news (Ahh Ahh) And don't forget If you're gonna come Everybody's cool (Ahh... IT'S ALL WRONG) Referencing the Book To fit the view We're selling you (Ahh Ahh) [Verse 2] Are there any rules? They say to do Just what we wanna do (I think about it and I'm nervous I don't want to regret) Shining all the lights To set the vibe As crowds come through (Ahh Ahh) Should I make amends? Instead of friends And happy ends (IT'S ALL WRONG) What do I have to prove? Am I scared to lose All that I knew (I think about it and I'm nervous I don't wanna regret) [Chorus] I don't know Lets go back to the basics No you don't need to be original We just need to go a little deeper Go flipping through the pages What's for real Don't let 'em try to tell you what to feel You don't need to be original O-original O-original [Verse 3] Configure the truth Misunderstood But it's all good Why should I pretend The start, the end But it's all true (I think about it) Becoming self defense A game of chess But no offense (Cause I don't wanna regret IT'S ALL WRONG) It's all just pretense At our own expense What'd we expect (I think about it and I'm nervous I don't wanna regret) [Chorus] I don't know Lets go back to the basics No you don't need to be original We just need to go a little deeper Go flipping through the pages What's for real Don't let 'em try to tell you what to feel You don't need to be original O-original O-original [Post-Chorus] Go flipping through the pages What's for real Don't let 'em try to tell you what to feel It's All Wrong

headlights 04:05
[Verse] Headlights in my eyes, glisten in red Incoming night, I’m passing by all the words you said [Pre-Chorus] And all the times, Back when my life was hollow with regret You weren’t distant, You weren’t missing No, You never left [Verse 2] Stop signs and “wonder why’s” inside my head Cause I’ve denied and put aside Yet You called me friend [Pre-Chorus] And all the times, Back when my life was hollow with regret You weren’t distant, You weren’t missing No, You never left [Chorus] But if you never fall you never know A perfect stranger waiting, catching all And if you couldn’t see the light before You’ll keep on running to the open door [Post-Chorus] Headlights in my eyes Looking back I know I’ll never be alone again Headlights in my eyes Let’s go back to the basics Headlights in my eyes Mr. Slim, Mr. Slim Headlights in my eyes I should just go back to sleep and ghost me

about

ØM-53’s 3rd album called “Junior Year” will be released as [Side A] Homecoming and [Side B] Prom. This album is an open letter from the perspective of 4 boys growing up in religious homes. The band explores different topics that growing up they believed they could not talk about. ØM-53’s sound has shifted from Synthwave to, as the band says, “whatever we want”. The bands essence is filled with faith, synths, and retro sounds that will remind you of a simpler and better time.
