home. is a story about our relationship with change. About the balance between progress and preservation in Singapore and what that means for the people going through it, after the hype dies down and the cameras disappear. An unfiltered look into the lives of individuals inexplicably tied to Tanglin Halt, one of Singapore’s oldest estates and the setting of Singapore’s biggest redevelopment scheme since 1999—3,480 homes slated for repossession. And above it all, a question: Is it all worth it, in the end?
This is my love letter to Singapore, and all it means to me. This, is home.

Verse 1 Something doesn't feel so right The same old place a different light Spaces are getting smaller and older Are our minds what they're taking after I just don't know what home is anymore
All my friends have lost their names Forgotten words for progress sake Buildings are getting higher and higher Losing sight of where we started from I guess we're moving on
Chorus So tell me bout love Tell me what I don't understand Tell me the things you built before I broke it again I was losing myself, losing this fight before it even began Oh damned if I know what home even meant Guess I'll go to sleep and lie to myself again
Verse 2 See this tailor lost in time Hands sing old, forgotten lines Movements grow slower, wrinkling and whiter While the steel we built stays cold and oversold Stitching out the gold
Chorus So tell me bout soul Tell me what I don't understand Tell me the things you loved before you fucked it again We were losing ourselves, losing this fight before it even began Oh damned if we knew what home even meant Guess I'll go to sleep and lie to myself again
Bridge Honestly I could be wrong I admit I'm just so over the things that I missed Just pictures of what could have been
Outro So tell me I’m wrong Tell me the pride outweighs the fall Tell me it’s good Show me my pain’s misunderstood
(All these days are numbered, I can’t wait All these trees are counted private owned public benches)
(It’s the way it has to be, it’s the way its gonna be)

It is an exploration and re-emphasis of the quiet moments between the big ones, and the silence after the noise.
I go walking in the middle of an open field Find me standing where the water washes over you Try to see all the world in the way you do Try to see a world where I'm with you
I go climbing in the mountains over Kathmandu See the sky fill up with Colours of an Orchard bloom I try to see all the world in the way you would Try to see a world where I'm with you
So rest your heart said my weary head Cause you'll love And be loved again
Though I know that the world will spin For the moment I am frozen in the waves Of losing you over again
See the oceans from the castle high above the roads See the places, all the places that we used to go Try to lie to myself that I'm not alone Try to find myself another home
So rest your heart said my weary head Cause you'll love And be loved again
Though I know that the world will spin For the moment I am frozen in the waves Of losing you over again
(Saudade) I built your image out of stone (Saudade) For this love I sold my soul (Saudade) Now I'll burn it down inside the house you swore would stop the cold
So rest your heart said my weary head Cause you'll love And be loved again
Though I know that the world will spin For the moment I am frozen in the waves Of losing you over againLincoln Lim - Lift Your Eyes (Official Music Video)Lincoln Lim2018-04-27 | AVAILABLE ON Spotify: http://spoti.fi/2Efhlky iTunes: bit.ly/liftyoureyes

Dedicated to those who can't or is afraid to get out of bad situation. You deserve to be happy. Please remember that.Lift Your Eyes - Lincoln Lim (Official Audio)Lincoln Lim2018-02-02 | "Lift Your Eyes" is Lincoln Lim's second single, with an accompanying music video slated for release in April 2018.
When you think that you know everything left to know When the road that's ahead is all written in stone When the life that you lead is a long open book It’s in moments like this that I finally know
That the gold in the air and the summer I smell It has to make room for the darkness to swell Cause nothing we build is unbreakably strong This is but a rule in an old witch's song
So I'll stick to the silence and cover my pain That the world I desire isn't what I have gained And if ever you question the smile on my face Understand that a man must know his own place
When you think that you left your old worries behind You look up to see your reflection resigned And the reasons to stay are all frayed and alight Where it's losing your faith or losing your mind
So lift your eyes And pray to the first god you find And scream scream it out tonight And leave it all behind
All the blood that you drip on the living room floor You sit and repeat this is nobody's fault But the truth is it is and hard to admit The decisions you make have come up to this
For those who can't or is afraid to get out of bad situation, you deserve to be happy. Please remember that.I Cant Make You Love Me by Bonnie Rait (Cover) feat.

Lyrics: You kneel in the bath in your sisters blue dress Mixing tears with your whiskey filled veins You calm yourself down and settle you down To be you at least till they're awake
You had your first kiss under green fuelled bliss With the boy from across the street You laughed for awhile all while hiding a smile And the shame of your fast growing stiff
All you want is just a little love All you need is just to be heard
Remember the time you were 4 maybe 5 Slathered lipstick across your face Your gut turned to stone when your dad crossed the room Red faced with his belt in his grip
All you want is just a little love And all you need is just to be her
So much hurt And the darkest The darkest of words Unloved For the longest time The longest time The longest time
Well you fought where you can Stayed your ground raised your hands Looked for love in all the letters Of each locker room scam You loved Loved Loved
All you want is just a little love And all you need is just to be her
"She was the sweetest of girls", "She was always my daughter" Tears of guilt dripping down their face The hypocrisy builds with each candlelit moment For the girl who died for her name

Verse 1 The days and the nights There is no end The hours I spent Alone in my bed
I want your touch Your soft quick kiss The movement of feet As you hurry to dress
Chorus But you're not here anymore And I didn't see whats in store But I can't let go of you
Verse 2 The times I still miss As I lay awake The songs that we wrote The photos we take
And I will wait Stay strong alone Try winning you back But to no avail
Chorus But you aren't here anymore And I didn't see whats in store But you aren't here anymore And I can't let go of you
Verse 3 As I lay with you Curled up in my bed All of these words To you I saidStay With Me by Sam Smith (Cover)Lincoln Lim2014-06-01 | Sometimes, we don't need long last looks, or the perfect height for the perfect hug. Sometimes, we just need someone.
