Poptimism

I think I’m switching, shifting
Appealing to the senses that tell me something’s missing
Mmm, what’s that
It’s me, it’s been a minute
Babe, I’m back in the building
Reconstructed the ceiling, see the cracks
Sheesh
Whatcha say, whatcha say, uhh
Yeah, next part
The channel, don’t you switch it
Sit down, tune in, get with it
Tell me that I’m the greatest, I know that
The chorus is announcing its arrival, get ready
If you think about bouncing, don’t hold back
Follow me, I’ll show you what you want to see
I’ll take you to the light tonight, oh
Return, know you need the return
Spotlight’s feeling like a sunburn, oh
These are the moments that I yearn for
Turn up, turn up the system
And feel this poptimism
Hey, like that, okay
Verse two
I know that you can do it
1, 2, there's nothing to it
Babe, you don't have to prove anything, just enjoy
You deserve happiness and the music's giving you a chance
To feel its warm embrace so babe pick up the pace and
Follow me, I'll show you what you want to see (Follow, oh woah)
(Yeah, yeah) I'll take you to the light tonight, oh
Return, know you need the return
Spotlight's feeling like a sunburn, oh
These are the moments that I yearn for
Turn up, turn up the system and feel this poptimism
Yeah, this that poptimism
Let's get you out that prism
Oh, no more chromatism (we need every note)
Yeah, this that poptimism
Flaunt your eclecticism
And let the whole world listen
Return, know you need the return
Spotlight's feeling like a sunburn, oh (I just wanna be the one)
These are the moments that I yearn for
Turn up, turn up the system and feel this pop- pop-
Sheesh
I think I’m, think I’m, shifting
Appealing, -pealing, senses that tell me, -ell me, missing
Mmm- mm-, that
It’s me it-, me it-, minute
Babe, I’m back in the building
Reconstruct-, construct-, Reconstruct-, construct
Babe I’m back in, Babe I’m back in
(Yeah)

The way I get down when I come around, oh
The music gets louder when I'm in town
Better upgrade 'fore I'm up and out
Going, going, going, gone (gone)
Oh, woah
What it feel like
Feel like a star in the sky, oh
What it look like
Looks like I'll do this all night, oh
I said okay
I do more than inspect the webpage
I really change things (I, I, I, I)
Sheesh!
The way I get down when I come around, oh (When I come around)
The music gets louder when I'm in town (When I)
Better upgrade 'fore I'm up and out
Going, going, going, gone (gone)
Oh, woah (oh, woah)
Got an upgrade, now there's really no challenge
Big beat, got the stereo bouncing (eek)
Turn the homepage into a palace (yeah)
That's a lot of madness (o-o-o)
Now we did it again
Set the bar so high, it got caught in the wind
Now it's going (going)
Going gone (gone)
Oh, woah
What it feel like (stereo bouncing)
What it look like (big beat, going gone)
I said okay
Going, going, going, gone (gone)
Oh, woah
Sheesh!
The way I get down when I come around, oh (When I come around)
The music gets louder when I'm in town (When I)
Better upgrade 'fore I'm up and out
Going, going, going, gone (gone)
Oh, woah-woah-woah-woah
Sheesh!
The way I get down when I come around, oh (Oh, when I come around)
The music gets loud-loud-loud-loud (When I)
Better upgrade 'fore I'm up and out
Now it's going, going, going, gone (gone)
Oh, woah (oh, woah)
Going, going, going, gone (I said okay)
Going, going, going, gone (stereo bouncing)
Going, going, going, gone (I said okay)
Going, going, going, going
More than inspect the web, more than
More than inspect (D-d-d-did it again)
More than inspect the webpage (Going gone, gone)
Oh, woah

I'm waiting for you to see me, oh
Still holding invisible strings close to my chest, babe
I see you when I rest, babe
Mmm, oh, yeah
I'm waiting for you to see me, oh
Let's link up
It's been awhile since I've looked into a mirror
And seen a smile
It's like I took all my fears and turned them into
Musical composition, I'm my only competition
I have to stop comparing myself to the mountains
I made some acquisitions in the time that I was updating
I went and found a part of myself that was missing, oh
It's like I'm meeting myself for the very first time
For the very first time, oh woah
It's like I'm meeting myself for the very first time
Oh, it's got me like
I'm waiting for you to see me, oh
Still holding invisible strings close to my chest, babe
I see you when I rest, babe
Mmm, oh, yeah
I'm waiting for you to see me, oh
Let's link up
Oh, it's like I'm meeting myself for the very first time
For the very first time, oh woah
It's like I'm meeting myself for the very first time

Can we just talk about the way the sky is showcasing the stars above our heads
Can we just talk about the way I wish to be one oh-so bad, think I'm obsessed
And I really don't know why
Watashi wa tada omou (I only think)
Kono basho ni tsuite (about the stage)
Watashi ga iru basho kara nan-mairu mo tsudzuku hikari to ai no umi
Why
The thoughts are starting to control (Itsumo no yō ni)
My body, mind, model, and code (Arayuru inchi)
My constant constellation fantasies are centerfold
And I really don't know why
Orikomi, gunshū wa sarani sakebimasu
On'na no akachan, kudasai, kudasai
Yame rarenai, tameshite mita
Doryoku, jikan, nintai to jōnetsu
Totemo tomerarenai, oh hiteidekinai
And I really don't know why (oh, woah)
Watashi wa tada omou (I only think)
Kono basho ni tsuite (about the stage)
Watashi ga iru basho kara nan-mairu mo tsudzuku hikari to ai no umi
Why
The thoughts are starting to control (Itsumo no yō ni)
My body, mind, model, and code (Arayuru inchi)
My constant constellation fantasies are centerfold
And I really don't know why (Orikomi)
Look at me, all exposed
Showcasing what my mind goes through when I feel my growth
If you wanted to know (orikomi)
Look at me
Beautiful fantasies in my mind pass through and take the form of notes
That play through your headphones, oh woah (orikomi)
Can we just talk about the way the sky is showcasing the stars above our heads
Can we just talk about the way I wish to be one oh-so bad, think I'm obsessed
And I really don't know why
Watashi wa tada omou (I only think)
Kono basho ni tsuite (about the stage)
Watashi ga iru basho kara nan-mairu mo tsudzuku hikari to ai no umi
Why
The thoughts are starting to control (Itsumo no yō ni)
My body, mind, model, and code (Arayuru inchi)
My constant constellation fantasies are centerfold
And I really don't-don't-don't
Watashi wa tada omou (I only think)
Kono basho ni tsuite (about the stage)
Watashi ga iru basho kara nan-mairu mo tsudzuku hikari to ai no umi
Why-y-y-y
Itsumo no yō ni
My body, mind, model, and code (Arayuru inchi)
My constant constellation fantasies are centerfold-old-old-old
And I really don't know why (Orikomi)

What if I sit atop of the mountain, would you mind?
What if I loaded the save state and took back the spotlight?
What if I sit atop of the mountain, would you mind? Oh, woah
What if I loaded the save state and took back the spotlight, oh woah
With the wind, I would go
Now, I tell the wind to follow me
Give a care what it wants
See it, want it, get it, got it, sheesh
Gotta level up when I sing
Went out my way like I'm looking for red rings, oh
Know you like it when I'm running, oh I
What if I sit atop of the mountain, would you mind?
What if I loaded the save state and took back the spotlight?
What if I sit atop of the mountain, would you mind? Oh, woah
What if I loaded the save state and took back the spotlight, oh woah
Let me get in tune with myself
Let me get a shot on the field to run it back
Tell me there's no one else
Let me get comfortable with being on your phone
Being in your car, on your mind, on your screen
I'm everywhere and becoming everything, oh
Know you like it when I, when I, oh
Sit atop of the mountain, would you mind? (w-w-would you)
What if I loaded the save state and took back the spotlight?
What if I sit atop of the mountain, would you mind? Oh, woah
What if I loaded the save state and took back the spotlight, oh woah
Save me a spot before I take every vacant one
I said I would make it and your girl is not a liar
Ready or not, I'll take the scene and I'll change it up
I shine like the city lights and feel like I'm on fire
I feel like Bridgit in 2012 and Zendaya in '13
Hilary Duff in '02 and Raven in '03
Or Sarah Jessica Parker on July the 16th
You know what I mean? Oh, woah
What if I sit, ah
What if I sit atop of the mountain, would you mind?
What if I loaded the save state and took back the spotlight?
What if I sit atop of the mountain, would you mind? Oh, woah
What if I loaded the save state and took back the spotlight, oh woah

I feel myself changing
I, I see it on my face, yeah
Oh, I see the time pass me by
I refuse to be left behind
Mmm, all the seasons come and go but I still wish they would slow down
Do I miss who I used to be, or potentially who I'd be now?
All of those possibilities have traveled through and left me with nothing
Oh, Time and space doesn't look behind, oh
I feel myself changing
I, I see it on my face, yeah
Oh, I see the time pass me by
I refuse to be left behind
Mmm, I upgraded and sacrificed, quit eating a couple nights, I
I was too busy pushing through, had to work hard to make due somehow
My predictability was really bothering me
I must do something, oh
Oh, now I refuse to be denied
Oh, I
Feel myself changing
I swear I feel it, I know I feel it, I know you feel it (I, I)
See it on my face
I know you see, oh you gotta see it oh I, oh I
See the time pass me by (see the time passing, passing me)
Oh, I refuse to be left behind (behind), I
Oh, it's all right
You know change happens all of the time
Me oh my, I
Want you to know you're doing just fine
Wish you'd see how I do
The moon shines for you tonight, oh
You will never be left behind (I, left, behind)
I feel myself changing
I swear I feel it, I know I feel it, I know you feel it (I, I)
See it on my face
I know you see, oh you gotta see it oh I, oh I
See the time pass me by (the time passing, passing me)
Oh, I refuse to be left behind (behind)
I feel myself changing
I, I see it on my face, yeah
Oh, I see the time pass me by
I refuse to be left behind
Oh, I, feel, changing
See it, face (quit eating a couple nights)
Mmm (oh), ah mmm (oh)
I, left, behind
You will never left (left, left, left)
(Me oh my, I) Left, left, left
All the- all the- all the-
All the seasons, a-a-all the seasons come and go
All the seasons, oh- all the seasons come and go
Do I miss who I used to be, do I miss who I -e -y -ow
I miss who I used to-used to be
All of those possibilities have traveled through and left me with
Love for the music
With, with

Sometimes

One thought is all that it takes to get to the extremes
Emotions are either enormous or they're deflated
Talk a big game so the pain takes time to get to me, oh
Trust me, I don't fall apart for your entertainment, oh
Mmm, I see it, optimism finds its way
Mmm, I hear it, through the noise it came to say
It gets hard sometimes, but you'll get through
You always do
It gets hard but time will pass on through
The future's for you
One day you're up and the next day you feel so below
You're tired and drained and the worst is anticipated. mmm-mm
There isn't much you can do except hold on to hope, oh
You try and you try but you just run out of patience, mmm
Ooh, I see you, I relate through your display
Ooh, I hear you, listen to me when I say
It gets hard sometimes, but you'll get through
You always do
It gets hard but time will pass on through
The future's for you
Oh, yeah

And Hatsune Miku, yeah yeah

Trust me when I say that you got it
I’m just being honest, not trying to lie, babe
Trust me when I say it’s a process
In whatever format, you’ll still rock it, babe
Teto, Rina, Miku, not missing
Had to show you all how to do it with precision
She told me she’s ‘bout to level up
I said you’ve said enough
If you can keep up, we can do it like this
And you might end up on a compact disc
And you might end up on the setlist
And you might find something inside, oh
Who knows?
Trust me when I say I was nervous
Now I’m pushing forward, won’t settle for less, babe
Trust me when I say that my ego, it just took the wheel
Now your girl’s in the fastlane
Teto, Rina and Miku’s a must listen
Had to show you all I’m not leaving this position
In Hatsune and Sabrina you trust
Know you can’t get enough
If you think I’m giving up, watch me do it like this
Watch me end up on a compact disc
Watch me end up on the setlist
Hope I find something inside, oh
I know you like this
I know you want to buy a compact disc
10,000 penlights just for this
Keep on dancing ‘til I die, oh
But I won’t
Watch me end up on a compact disc
Watch me end up on the setlist
Hope I find something inside, oh
I know you like this
I know you want to buy a compact disc
10,000 penlights just for this
Keep on dancing ‘til I die, oh
But I won’t
Oh, feel the soundwaves, babe
Listen to your name as they chant it
Girl, just slow down and feel
Just feel the music change you
It’s magic when you play, I’m enchanted
Girl, just slow down
Can’t stop, can’t slow down
I’m just really scared to find out who I am (can’t stop)
The sound’s my gown
There’s attitudinizing in the seams and strands of material
I need more material
I’m not delirious, I’m serious about the goal
It’s getting close
Compact, oh
On the setlist, find
I know you like this
I know you want to buy a compact disc
10,000 penlights just for this

But I won’t
It’s Rina Ryukami
And Hatsune Miku, yeah yeah
And Teto, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know that you hear, know you hear me
I’ve seen you look for someone
Look for someone else to replace me
You know that I get it done
Who else is iconic like me? (Teto!)
I’ve seen you look for someone
Look for someone else to replace me (Teto!)
You kno-
Watch me, watch me end up on

I Couldn't Stay
03:39

(Yeah)
Trust, in me babe you gotta trust
Must have faith that I'll be enough
That's what I told the town before
I realized I was worth more
No, I couldn't stay more
More, oh
Oh, woah, I
Held down by my own perception
'Til I looked back I my reflection
It told me that I reached perfection
You have no idea, no idea
All I felt was disaffection
The music gave me much protection
And helped me find my own direction
I just can't stand stay here, no my dear
I couldn't stay there
In a place where I felt so afraid to be myself
Too black or not black enough, why'd I care anyway, oh
'Cause I know that they dance when I play, I
(Yeah) Couldn't stay there
Had to leave and find out who I am within the snares, now I'm
Pop excellence, undisputed, doing it my way, oh
To the point you won't doubt me when I say
Trust, in me babe you gotta trust (in me babe, trust)
Must have faith that I'll be enough (have faith that I'll be enough)
That's what I told the town before (what I told 'em, yep, yep)
I realized I was worth (so much more)
No, I couldn't stay more
(Sheesh, hold up, sheesh, what, sheesh, yeah)
More, oh
Oh, woah, I
Makeup, no makeup, I'm gorgeous
The music makes me want to floor it
When the beat knocks, open the door and
Simply let it in, let me in
Wake up, get up, spin the record
It's you, me, and this song I conjured
Let the sounds fill this space and wonder
It's possessing me and it's clear, I
Couldn't stay there
They put all these thoughts up in my head, it's wasn't fair
Too niche or or not niche enough, they play it anyway, oh
And they shout out the lyrics I make, I
Couldn't stay there
Had to leave and find out who I am within the snares, now I'm
Pop excellence, undisputed, doing it my way, oh
To the point you won't doubt me when I say
Trust, in me babe you gotta trust (in me babe, trust)
Must have faith that I'll be enough (have faith that I'll be enough)
That's what I told the town before (what I told 'em, yep, yep)
I realized I was worth (so much more)
No, I couldn't stay more
(Sheesh, hold up, sheesh, what, sheesh, yeah)
More, oh
Oh, woah-
(Yeah)
Now I'm pop (pop-, pop-)
(Yeah)

I can't make sense of it all
I can't make sense of it all
I can't, I can't, I can't
I can't make sense of it all
Not used to your love, still trying to adjust
Was not supposed to make it, now I reign from above
I am either insincere or unrelatable
Yet you still give unexplainable love
Now I'm traveling through wires and woes
Hope I'm making all of your pain go away
By putting all of mine on display, oh
I can't make sense of it all
I can't make sense of it all
I can't, I can't, I can't (I can't, oh)
Can't make sense of it (I can't make sense of it all)
Not used to your love, still trying to adjust
Was not supposed to make it, now I reign from above
I am either insincere or unrelatable

Now I'm traveling through wires and woes
Hope I'm making all of your pain go away
By putting all of mine on display, oh

I can't make sense of it all
I can't, I can't, I can't (I can't, oh)
Can't make sense of it (I can't make sense of it all)
Why do you love me the way that you love me
I just simply can’t compute (one more time)
Why do you love me the way that you love me
I just simply can’t compute
(Abunai!)
I am either insincere (I can’t, oh)
I am either insincere (can’t make sense of-)
(Now I'm) traveling through wires and woes
(Hope I’m) making all of your pain go away
By putting all of mine on display, -ay, -ay, -ay

Colors

Baby, used to be incomplete
Now it all means more to me
These days I don't have the stomach to lose anything
Especially l-o-v-e
For the things that make me
Look up at the sky and smile with glee
I see the colors, I see the colors
I see the colors as they fade into my view
I see the colors, I see the colors
I see the colors and they're in a brand new hue
Crazy, why waste time pretending to
Be something that isn't true
You could be here with me dancing around
I still get blue but it comes in different shades
And I still get red with rage
But get red with love when I hear that sound and see
I see the colors
I see the colors as they fade into my view
I see the colors, I see the colors
I see the colors and they're in a brand new hue
I see the colors
I see the colors as they fade into my view
I see the colors, I see the colors
I see the colors and they're in a brand new hue
It gets gray outside, even when the summer's bright (sheesh)
That's the reason why I'm at peace inside with my
Everchanging palette, went from 988B8E to EDAE49
Tune out the world and vibe with me, ooh woah
I see the colors coming in, coming in view
See the colors babe, see the colors babe (view)
I see the colors coming in, coming in view
Ooh woah, yeah yeah yeah (view)
I see the colors
I see the colors as they fade into my view
I see the colors, I see the colors
I see the colors and they're in a brand new hue
I see the colors
I see the colors as they fade into my view
I see the colors, I see the colors
I see the colors and they're in a brand new hue
I see the colors
I see the colors as they fade into my view (see the colors babe, see the colors babe)
I see the colors, I see the colors
I see the colors and they're in a brand new hue (see the colors babe, see the colors babe)

The Alternative
05:21
|

|
I just want to know when enough is enough
I’m here burning slow, but in need of the rush
Just want to stand out while I try to fit in
When will I stop being the alternative?
I know who I am, or at least a version of myself I let you see
Tried to be someone else, there were just too many people that I tried to please, uh
Give me a chance, give me the stage
Give me some time to some more mistakes
I’ll make you dance, put you in a trance
I’ll make you see the truest me to date
I just want to know when enough is enough
I’m here burning slow, but in need of the rush
Just want to stand out while I try to fit in
When will I stop being the alternative?
Would it be different if I just played it straight?
Could it be different if I stayed in one lane?
If I give them more than what I can afford to give (give)
Then will I stop being the alternative, oh woah
I changed who I was, updated to a version of myself that now believes
Believes she's something else, something greater that no one has ever seen, so
Give her a chance, give her the stage
Give her some time to go out and make a name
She'll get you high, she's the love of your life
She'll sacrifice anything for the fame
(She just, I just want) To know when enough is enough
I’m here burning slow, but in need of the rush
Just want to stand out while I try to fit in
When will I stop being the alternative?
Would it be different if I just played it straight?
Could it be different if I stayed in one lane?
If I give them more than what I can afford to give (give)
Then will I stop being the alternative, oh woah
I dream about all the lights, the print, the press, the shows
I do, I wish for it soon
I'm excellence undisputed, forever focused, oh
It's true, there's so much to prove
Prove to the mirrors with their piercing reflections
Staring into my doubts, showcasing regressions
I feel myself overflowing, and yet I haven’t reached my best days
Am I past my best days?
Aren’t I just the best, babe?
Tell me I’m the one and I'm the only, okay?
And that I've found my place
And that craving fulfillment is still on its way
(Sheesh!)
Would it be different if I just played it straight?
Could it be different if I stayed in one lane?
If I give them more than what I can afford to give
Then will I stop being the alternative, oh woah
(The alternative)
I just want to show you all what I can do, ooh woah
Show you all what I can do, ooh woah
Show you all what I can do, ooh woah
Ooh woah
