for time to stand still (original) @imancmusicc

iman yikes (LYRICS DOWN HERE)

I wrote this song like 2 months ago and here it is whoops:

I shake my head and lay back down
I need to stop trying to make each day
last longer than a day
I wear a watch that doesn't work
'cause I'm scared of watching time clicking away.

but lately the whole world seems real
and it's a little too much for me
'cause every passing real thing makes it harder
to believe that I'll ever see you again.

I try not to think too much about
how it will feel
being away from you indefinitely
I can't take that kind of uncertainty

and I always act like I know for a fact
you'll forget me
but I'm a liar.
and I don't really believe it.

I like to think that time will stand still
until we can share time again
for you I'd hold my breath for years at a time
and I want to be right.

but I constantly consciously make that choice
to drown out my own voice
'cause if not I could say things whose words
I could get attached to, and if I get attached to them
I get attached to you
and it goes on and on until I stop questioning
whether or not I'm real
'cause if I can feel a hope so overwhelming
from something so overwhelmingly surreal, then-

lately the whole world seems real
and it's a little too much for me
'cause every passing real thing makes it harder
to believe that I'll ever see you again.

I try not to think too much about
how it will feel
being away from you indefinitely
I can't take that kind of uncertainty

and I always act like I know for a fact
you'll forget me
but I'm a liar.
and I don't really believe it.

we were made for time to stand still
we were made for time to stand still.

Sand (original//acoustic)

iman 2020-07-18 | hi i hope u like this song i wrote :+) working on a lot of new stuff rn and hoping to have an album out by end of the year!!

lyrics:

I don’t know
what im supposed to do with all this
love I have
to give but I’ve heard its not such a
healthy way
of coping with my need to stay outside
Of myself

You don’t have
To ask me if I want to come im
Sure I won’t
im waiting for the day i’ll have the
guts to be
together in a room with people
talking to me

Don’t you know
I’m not where I need to be
I wont go
Look for any enemies
if i find
reasons that will help me get to
Peace of mind
then i’ll be fine with sand inside my eyes

ocean sky
opening its arms to welcome
me inside
a universe of butterflies
wishing they
could burst out of my stomach where their
freedom awaits

Don’t you know
I’m not where I need to be
I wont go
Look for any enemies
if i find
reasons that will help me get to
Peace of mind
then i’ll be fine with sand inside my eyes

waiting for the
tides to go back
floating face up
salty water

and don’t you know
I’m not where I need to be
I wont go
Look for any enemies
if i find
reasons that will help me get to
Peace of mind
then i’ll be fine with sand inside my eyes

Cold Days In The Summer - ALMOST ADAM (EP announcement!)

iman 2020-07-09 | HELLOOOOOOO here's a song from my EP, Boy Wondering, that i'm releasing on spotify and apple music july 15! (or around that time, it depends on processing delays for the platforms im releasing on but im trying for that date lol) & PLEASE listen with headphones
enjoy :+)

LYRICS:
sometimes i lay awake at night
try and see in the dark
to pass the time

i don't have much to think about
cuz i am used to blocking out
what's on my mind

i like to think i'll be alright
i must be doing something right

i hope you're finding things that
make you feel like it's worth getting up before
four in the afternoon
& it's not always fun but
time does tend to run differently
on cold days in the summer

i used to wait impatiently
the smallest changes victories
and now i find

i'm just okay with being here
in my own body, things appear
eventually

i like to think we'll be alright
we must be doing something right

i hope you're finding things that
make you feel like it's worth getting up before
four in the afternoon
& it's not always fun but
time does tend to run differently
on cold days in the summer

everything's fine, i'm convincing myself
cuz i get a weird feeling
like an itch i can't quite reach
like a drizzle from a cloudless sky

cold days in the summer won't die
cold days in the summer won't die
cold days in the summer won't die
cold days, cold days

hmmmm

Plant (original)

iman 2019-11-09 | helloooooouuuuu i am back

i have SO MANY new songs that i wrote while i was taking a break so be ready 2 hear those

LYRICS:

I said, when will you grow up?
Mmmmm
sitting in the back
Of the room
Running out of things to dooooooooo
Oooooh

Taking colours from the trees
Mmmm
when it gets too hard
To find words
Trying to make sense to youuuuuuuuu
Oooooooh

No, I’m not
In a mood
We’re just hearing different tunes
Leave me
In my room
It takes time to filter thruuuu

He said I’m wired differently
(Mmmmmm)
But so is everybody else
Take our little plant
and get ready to ruuuuunnn
RuuuUuunnn

See the paint starting to chip
Crumbling dried leaves
Fix it, will you
Fill the hooOOoles uuUp

So it doesn’t crack open
Anymore
It’s a bit of an eyesooOOooore

No, I’m not
In a mood
We’re just hearing different tunes
Leave me
In my room
It takes time to filter thruuuuuu

No it’s not
Because of you
I just wish I functioned too
Make mine
Waterproof
So these tears won’t soak thruuuuu

Come down
Let’s be two
We can grow a plant I think
Or at least take care of it

At least take care of it.

Far More II (original song but better)

iman 2019-09-21 | i stumbled across this song i wrote like 3 years ago (Far More) when i was SO BABIE and also EMO and decided to revisit it !! i re-arranged some parts and changed the lyrics up a bit i hope u enjoy (especially if u've been around since i first made/posted this song WHEW)

lyrics:
do you mind if I could take a look inside your eyes
I promise that I won't get too far
I found you where you weren't supposed to be and I
don't know how to be the person you need

I’m sorry for my brokenness
My empty way of saying things
The broken string on my guitar
The bruises on my lower arm
And legs and face and back and heart and soul

I wish I could live up to you
Your laughter that fills up the room
And echoes down these empty halls
Creeps up the walls and weighs me
Further down

it's supposed to be so easy
to tell you things and spill the thoughts
that paint the darkest alleys of my mind

I'm a little ghost, I wish I wasn't
here and there but never truly real

I don't wanna have to work so hard
to be allowed to feel

I don't wanna be below the ground
where I've buried myself

I'm sorry for my brokenness
my empty way of saying things
the broken string on my guitar
the bruises on my lower arm
and legs and face and back and heart and soul

I wish I could live up to you
your laughter that fills up the room
and echoes down these empty halls
creeps up the walls and weighs me
further down

and I'm surprised to find my heart still beating
ribs intact, alive and breathing still

no, I won't love you, I can't trust you
'cause I'm far less than perfect
and you deserve far more

I know it's all
in my heeeaaaaAAAAaaad

no, I won't love you, I can't trust you
'cause I'm far less than perfect
and you deserve far more

Fine Here (original)

iman 2019-06-20 | :))) LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES FOR THE FULL EXPERIENCE !!!! hope u like it.

lyrics:
if I let myself float away in between
my mind and my brain, in my made-up defeat
i don’t know that I could make it back
to here

it’s so hard for me to wrap my head around
the size of the world, not making a sound
I’m going home, I’m fine here
I want to be fine here

no one could hold
the weight of all these thoughts alone
and I’m waiting for
the stars to tell me what I need to figure out

I like when the heavy rain keeps me inside
‘cause then it’s not my fault
and I can hide behind knowing
that there’s nothing I can do about the sky

fixating on the fact that the world
is coming to an end
and I haven’t made a friieeEEENNDD
on the ooOOooOOOOoutsiiiide

no one could hold
the weight of all these thoughts alone
and I’m waiting for
the stars to tell me what I need to figure out

let’s stay right here
gently let our future selves grow out of us
we won’t know them for a long time
that’s fine, that’s fine.

tell me youre lonely too - original

iman 2017-02-24 | only listen to this song if you're curled up in a physical dark corner, sad, and willing to get sadder. also I apologize for my cowlicky hair. also thanks for stopping by.

lyrics:

I can never tell when to let go
when you wrap your arms around me.
I wish I could.

what's so wrong about wanting to know things
when all we've ever had are these
agonizing, endless ambiguities?

these unopened boxes we throw back and forth
in the hopes that one of us will find
something inside.

I don't care about my sleep
'cause you're talking in my head again.
and I don't want you to think that I'm
lying on purpose.

I promise I'll try to be better
but for now I just want to sink into your shoulder
and drown.

why can't we say the things that we want
we'd be happier that way
at least we'd know.

I know that you know that we're both aware that life has its rules
but love doesn't
oh, what a shame.

aren't you tired of me yet?
what's wrong with you?
are you lonely too?

I don't care about my sleep
'cause you're talking in my head again.
and I don't want you to think that I'm
lying on purpose.

I promise I'll try to be better
but for now I just want to sink into your shoulder
and drown.

I don't care about my sleep
'cause you're talking in my head again.
and I'm listening to you
are you lonely too?
I'm listening to you
are you lonely too?
