Keeping stories in your house Rap guy treating me like a goddess I want to let the devil out Another one with a couple of girls Oh girls won't take you back Too young Too young Stars out there have their reason To fall down, to be smashed to ashes Stars out there have their reason To fall down, to be smashed to ashes Keeping stories in your house Rap guy treating me like a goddess I want to let the devil out Another one with a couple of girls Oh girls won't take you back Too young Too young Let's stay for one more day One more party at night Then we can skip this life We've had some drinks We're feeling fine Listening to country Getting high Let's stay for one more night For one more Wait to swallow the hatred I do fight but I'm too busy With defending my own enemies I don't wanna wait to swallow the hatred I do fight but I'm too busy With defending my own enemies Stars out there have their reason To fall down, to be smashed to ashes Swimming pool is cold But fire keeps me warm Flash turned on lighting your path Let me smash the lime The lime juice on my hands Cheap rum in my throat Swimming pool is cold But fire keeps me warm Flash turned on lighting your path Let me smash the lime The lime juice on my hands Cheap rum in my throat To wash the pain away Oh wait, won't work Too late, late, late Won't work too late, too late Swimming pool is cold But fire keeps me warm Flash turned on lighting your path Let me smash the lime The lime juice on my hands Cheap rum in my throat Swimming pool is cold But fire keeps me warm Flash turned on lighting your path Let me smash the lime The lime juice on my hands Cheap rum in my throat Swimming pool is cold But fire keeps me warm Flash turned on lighting your path Let me smash the lime The lime juice on my hands Cheap rum in my throat To wash the pain away Away

Ferris Wheel 02:59
I'm not alone but lonely in a crowd Or a wounded bird with a silver crown Just like fast cars crashed into a wall of dark Should have slowed down Should have slowed down When you finally make it to the bright lights You find a ferris wheel that takes you for a ride When you finally make it to the bright lights You find a ferris wheel that takes you for a ride I'm not alone but lonely in a crowd Or a wounded bird with a silver crown Just like fast cars crashed into a wall of dark Should have slowed down Should have slowed down When you finally make it to the bright lights You find a ferris wheel that takes you for a ride But you're again sitting with black tears Cause it's trees dying out My voice is kinda low When you finally make it to the bright lights You find a ferris wheel that takes you for a ride But you're again sitting with black tears Cause it's trees dying out My voice is kinda low I'm not alone but lonely in a crowd Or a wounded bird with a silver crown Just like fast cars crashed into a wall of dark Should have slowed down Should have slowed down When you finally make it to the bright lights You find a ferris wheel that takes you for a ride But you're again sitting with black tears Cause it's trees dying out My voice is kinda low When you finally make it to the bright lights You find a ferris wheel that takes you for a ride But you're again sitting with black tears Cause it's trees dying out My voice is kinda low When you finally make it to the bright lights You find a ferris wheel that takes you for a ride But you're again sitting with black tears Cause it's trees dying out My voice is kinda low When you finally make it to the bright lights You find a ferris wheel that takes you for a ride But you're again sitting with black tears Cause it's trees dying out My voice is kinda low

You said the world was on fire It wasn't you who made it burn I wanted to save you and your desire Like the last song we danced to You said the world I admired Wasn't like a day return I wanna save you and your desire Like the last song we danced to When my life ends Can you play this song Go back to your memories Go back home 2019 February Long black dress and Birthday at midnight Only me and you Your brother's wine 2019 February When my life ends Can you play this song Go back to your memories Go back home 2019 February When my life ends Can you play this song Go back to your memories Go back home 2019 February

When sun shines bright I lie down on the grass And watch tiny birds above When sun shines bright I lie down on the grass And watch tiny birds above Roses and innocence I won't be one of them Used to say a prayer every night But the world seemed to fall apart Billions of stars Hearts full of scars Used to say a prayer every night But the world seemed to fall apart Billions of stars Hearts full of scars You can follow my trail Follow my trail Follow my trail You can follow my trail Follow my trail You can follow my trail Follow my trail Follow my trail You can follow my trail Roses and innocence I won't be one of them Roses and innocence I won't be one of them Used to say a prayer every night But the world seemed to fall apart Billions of stars Hearts full of scars Used to say a prayer every night But the world seemed to fall apart Billions of stars Hearts full of scars Do you think that if we still have some broken pieces They could be put together? Do you think that if we still have some broken pieces They could be put together? Used to say a prayer every night But the world seemed to fall apart Billions of stars Hearts full of scars Used to say a prayer every night But the world seemed to fall apart Billions of stars Hearts full of scars

about

At the turn of 2019 and 2020, we wrote around 20 songs in a very short period of time, which we later divided into two groups that we called simply 'dark' and 'light'. The 'Dark' batch was released at the end of 2020 as our third album III. Those more upbeat tracks were supposed to follow soon as our fourth album. But the situation changed and with concerts being canceled and postponed, we decided to take a little break too and focus on our solo material.

We returned to the rest of the Billow tracks last summer, only to find out that they weren't a good fit as a whole and after having released 3 albums in 4 years, we don't have the energy to finish another full-length either. To keep our minds healthy, we picked our 4 favorite 'light' songs that we're now releasing as an EP called IV that will wrap up that prolific 19/20 session.

These four songs are accompanied (on MC) by four older, physically unreleased tracks.
