I know im falling apart New face all tainted with scars I'll keep my stare to the floor And call it when its over I lost my name to the past its worth Nothing to me now, hiking down and fall in the dirt Im a star but im feeling like im bout to burst Go supernova now, tripping over my words Pull back the arrow, my artemis there Memories of the hunt, got 8 years here Almost quit 'cause i couldnt reach my fame with tears Now new jobs launch me into the stratosphere I know im falling apart New face all tainted with scars Ill take it straight to the heart Ill take you back to the start I know im falling apart New face all tainted with scars Escape just feels like a farse Ill take you back to the start If i could take back all the love that i felt for you Id wish that you are happy Even tho were through But since i cant i still wonder If you hate me too The things i said ringing back to you Call you in the morning Escape from you, i guess im touring Around the world, but not leave the state Who thought rhode island would be the place im in Back pack and its filled with sin I got a couple bottles, to drown these thoughts, i swim Jet blue the waves im in Riptides are coming Im afraid im being pulled in Pulled in Pulled in Pulled in Pulled in Find yourself Find yourself Find yourself I know im falling apart New face all tainted with scars Ill take it straight to the heart Ill take you back to the start I know im falling apart New face all tainted with scars Escape just feels like a farse Ill take you back to the start I know im falling apart New face all tainted with scars Ill take it straight to the heart Ill take you back to the start I know im falling apart New face all tainted with scars Escape just feels like a farse Ill take you back to the start Just look me at now Up here i made it Im on boat Not lonely But the islands fading Use to look for answers Where questions lie Call me when i see you again Ill try ill try ill try Find yourself, get lost

I cant remember when the last time was i prayed to god Never had the ambience, i thought he left me dead and gone A higher power wasnt worth it, thought Id been led on Miracles cant change you, they just help you fucking write a song Saw my thoughts as audios Hell she found me comatose Walking through the piews you wouldve thought my dreams were grandiose But it aint like that Taking from the system tell you voices come and move to me Ghosts and spirits haunt i testify under perjury I left you lonely, asking would i ever be okay Taking what you want, i never had an answer anyway Love me or hate me Screw me or date me I cant replace me Hell i even hate me Im falling i cant see my face Switching my lines up and saving the waste I cannot take it im feeling some way Rose be the saviour i cant go away Sit in the piews as the monster just fades Hyde and jekyll that made their mistakes Got me composured, i need the closure Kill me in crash, ill be your donor (fuck) Giving me up and im losing my luck Always be betting, roulette aint enough Putting my life in, go hard and enlighten Testing the captain ill be your first mate Crash it I want the people who love me to tell they need me Im fading from view, im out of the photo, just know that im going completely Taking the car out for a drive, taking the boys out for a ride A loser, a winner, an alien and only the first first one fell from the sky My angels are flying to close to sun, Im following closely with 151, My daedulus tell me that it be okay I know the wings wax, i just dont wanna stay But im still here, and thats okay

And I watched you fall a hundred feet as I fly away Wishing I could take back the things I would regret today Guess I am moving on, im out the house, i'll stay afraid My direction is confusing, i need an astrolabe And ill watch as I go And youll talk when I leave And he'll say the things And you whisper them back to me And he'll watch as you go And I'll talk when you leave And he made the things To make your feelings obselete Just know its not a bluff, I sailed from all my problems, found myself in another autumn Leaves were changing so I went and got em Climbed the branches, who would do it My inner child took the chance and used it And he left me on the ground With the scars on my hands And i'll watch as you go Watch me fall then you leave And the water's so cold It leaves my brain to freeze And I watched as you go Finding that its not worth hiding Its a conscious thought though And your time here is subsiding Been around the world in 80 days Fuck verne i'll stop prove it My ship was in the back of the pack Said i overeact Fuck your nuiscance Cut me loose bitch Cause i was, i was Taking the fall Tqking the aim Taking the fist from a new man At a bar and a cage Fall off my boat , as Im called insane Watch me wash up outside of newport with my head held high Its a beautiful day,not a cloud in the sky Thinking maybe ill be alright But thats false Ill find a club and its a matter of time Or a matter of wine Or a matter of smoke Or a matter of crying And then maybe ill be alright

Notice: This album contains some explicit lyrics.

▶ fake079

Finding yourself can be a long, winding, turbulent road. There are many inherent trials and tribulations to the process. That said, it is sure as heck worth it, and it can be quite the fun adventure too. And that's what this album is about.

"compass" is the latest dreamingofmars project (second on FNL!), and Mars' insofar magnum opus! Returning from the world of "looking for a new disguise" with a renewed sense of vision and assertiveness, his songwriting, production, and vocals are at their best yet. The methods are a bit more unconventional this time, involving chiptune, digicore, and all sorts of other wonderful things. Case in point: in the first three tracks alone, you get the flowing synthwave melodies of Rose, the delicately sentimental hyperpop of I-295, and one of Mars' most potent performances yet in the hymnal rap of Saints.

Equally as enthralling is the journey this album represents. A loose story set in the state of Rhode Island (which makes Rhode Island FNL canon ;P), compass builds upon the ideas of LFAND to form a loose story about self-discovery and escaping the hiding place behind a screen. Mars sets out to communicate their journey, gleaned from personal experiences as they lived them, and frame it with both tact and wacky, good humor.

The 11 tracks span a gauntlet of moods and modes-- sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes subtle, and sometimes exuberant! And at the end of the day, all of these elements are expertly mixed together and juxtaposed by the artist to create one big beautiful experience. It's Mars' finest and proudest hour yet, so we hope it amazes and inspires you!
