Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
2019, supposed to be equal
But it's a human kind of evil
When stress changes people
Telling someone their not good enough should be illegal

The dust had settled, and of course I recovered
But mentally, I was still stuck in that summer
And no one truly knows how much I've suffered
Been told all my life I'm nothing and I'm discovered
The sad true colours
Of my once true lovers

I got back up, started writing again
I picked up the pen, I did it for me
And made some sort of attempt
To vent

And lay it all across the page
Once and for all, finally release the rage
Though it's just a phrase, maybe wounds heals with age

Years of therapy thought it would heal
But the truth is what's lurking needs to be revealed
And though love is a battlefield
I can't seem to contain these demons that I've concealed

2nd Verse:
Yo
I ain't scared of the dark
Because I've lived with monsters right from the start

I guess you could say I was bullied or abused
What's the difference, see I am still confused?
I was bullied by kids in school that disapproved
I was different, so I made it my sole purpose to prove
And when I got successful, you still refused
To show gratitude
Instead you tore me down, told me I was nothing

But no more patterns, I'm ending this discussion
You’re not loving
You're disgusting
And I'm brushing you off
Like you are the one that's nothing
Because the truth is, I know I'm something

Everyone will doubt me, I don't give a fuck
At the end of the day, I know I make my own luck

Back against the wall, I'm forced to start over
I guess I'm going to have to heal with no closure

3rd Verse (Exclude):
Despite your opinion of me, I know I'm imperfectly perfect
But all of your neglect
Has left me with this defect
And mentally, I can't accept
100 percent
And nothing is good enough for what I expect
So I guess I have you to blame for this mindset
But when I resurrect
I promise you’ll go to repent
But I won't forget
The times you’ve left me wrecked and depressed
Going back to reflect
On the demons that left me in torment

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
It’s like when I grip the mic
All I do is swing at strikes
See, you and me, we are not alike

You’re a mac and I’m a PC
Opposites in this industry
When I’m in the zone, I am finally free eh
No body
Will ever work as hard as me

Working hard, saving for a dream
Losing my self-esteem

Me and my fiancé are a team
Out here plotting a new scheme

Now I know it’s been a minute
I’ll admit
But I’m back on my shit

Scheming, daydreaming
Just caught in my feelings
They come and go like the seasons

Going back and forth, trying to find the urge to write
I see the spark in sight
But how do you paint the picture when you only see black and white?

So I got engaged
And now I trace the lines on the page
And erase the rhymes filled with rage
And embrace the girl waiting for me back stage

Damn man
I missed this feeling
Tried to bottle it but I missed the meaning
Tried to write all my demons
But I’m still breathing
Under water, under the ceiling
Inside my home, they are still feeding
Off my heart, internally bleedin’
Now I keep seeing
And hearing
Voice of reason
Trying to tell me to give up, to stop dreaming
It’s got me sleeping
On my work, freezing
On the mic, while I write, needing
More to this game than I thought, leaving
The past behind but losing my entire being
So now I’m cleaning out my closet
I met the love of my life
She told me don’t stop believing

So, I’ve been doing me
I’ve been writing free
Yeah, doing what’s meant to be

Riding around with my queen
Pulling up in a limousine
On my way to the silver screen
I’m off the meds, I’m finally clean

And I visualize
Life neutralized
And I realized
This is “the rise”

In the middle of the night
I found my way to the light
So now I write
About all the demons I used to fight

Yeah, the worst is over, yeah I survived
Happy to say that I feel good inside
I’ve killed the thought of suicide
I’m back, yeah I revived

And now looking back in retrospect
I guess I did resurrect

As an artist
It was in the days that were the darkest
That I started to harness
My love and rise above the darkness

Like a phoenix from the ashes
I had to burn, to find my passion
Now it’s movie magic
Lights, camera, action

You only get one life, so now I’m down to the wire
Soaring higher
In pursuit of setting my soul on fire

I'm following my destiny
By giving the world the best of me
This divine design is my human supremacy
So like the phoenix, I’m back to leave my legacy

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Living life in the extremes
Manic bipolar is what I mean

Have you ever taken a loss?
Gave it everything you had and still failed
Been knocked down, take a deep breath, and inhale
This is just a classic tale
Of an underdog, back against the rail
Let me tell you why you'll prevail

So you've lost of all hope
And you're backs against the ropes
Down and out, so I ask you what's next?
Yeah okay, okay I guess
I'm perplexed
That answer is
So complex

I know it's hard, but don't give in, think back to your aspirations
Your inspiration, your motivation,
What was your salvation?
Why are you quitting on the dream you've been chasing?

So you lost the drive, not the destination
Now that your hearts racing
Trust that sensation
That is the foundation
To your every creation

Hook:
Yeah I know it's hard to proceed when you’re in defeat
But just believe what is meant to be will be
Back against the rope, it’s just me vs. me
So find that hope and let it set you free

I know you’re lost in the dark, but don’t let your spark run out of light
Just get back up and fight
Back against the rope it’s just me vs. me
So find that hope and let it set you free

2nd Verse:
So when I won my first award, I was an inspiration
But as I got better, the awards lost their sensation
And I kept winning, but it’s like I lost the celebration
And with every creation
I was waiting
For a new vibration

Some days I'm in this mood I can't break
And sometimes I'm falling deeper in mistakes

I’m just a rapper with a dream
Watching the stars as they gleam
Shining like I’m designing
My rhyming
And I’m just defying
Gravity

Now I’m Falling apart
I gotta get back up and start
Creating that art
With all my heart

I’m just a diamond in the rough waiting for my time
But people tend to throw rocks that always seem to shine
So I’m just under pressure, following my design

So don’t give up in something you can’t see
Have faith and find hope in what’s meant to be

Hook:
Yeah I know it's hard to proceed when you’re in defeat
But just believe what is meant to be will be
Back against the rope, it’s just me vs. me
So find that hope and let it set you free

I know you’re lost in the dark, but don’t let your spark run out of light
Just get back up and fight
Back against the rope it’s just me vs. me
So find that hope and let it set you free

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
I'm so tired of the hatin'
The constant fakin'
Makin'
False accusations
Just be real, we could be amazin'
Because my heart is still achin'
Missing my pieces, waitin'
Not loving what I’m creating
So we’re Isolating

Yeah, we stopped communicating
I love you but you ain’t reciprocating
It’s devastating
No, it’s fucking intoxicating
Your love was so damn captivating
So hate me, just know that I'm suffocatin'
I am here for you, no matter what I'm facin'

Yeah,
I’m still high off the butterflies
I’m still drunk on your lies
Sinking ships, drowning in your whisky eyes
Why does love always have to die?

Blood in the water, we will never cleanse
There’s truly no way to make amends
I guess all good things must come to an end
And I guess now we are no longer friends

Chorus:
Remember all the memories we used to create?
Now your memories of me have warped into hate
And every time I think of you, I patiently await
The day you'll want me back, sadly it will be too late

I've tried to go back and retrace
But I've lost the memory of your face
So I guess in life we just create and erase
Yeah, we just create and erase

2nd verse:
Take it from me, nothing feels the same
I still see your face in my empty picture frames
I guess my mind likes to play these little games
Inside my brain, I'm burning by my own flames
When can I erase your name?

You and I had a love that defied logic
We almost had it but we fucking lost it
And together we were psychotic
We brought the best and worst out in each other, how ironic
That we were so toxic
A catastrophic
Bittersweet
Heartbeat

We had a love I still can’t explain
And you and I went through so much pain
Every fight, every storm, every hurricane
But you and me, we were fucking insane

2017
Bonnie and Clyde
And the truth is I’d
Always stand by your side
So just know I’m truly satisfied
Because at least we can say we fucking tried

Chorus:
Remember all the memories we used to create?
Now your memories of me have warped into hate
Every time I think of you, I patiently await
The day you'll want me back, sadly it will be too late

I've tried to go back and retrace
But I've lost the memory of your face
So I guess in life we just create and erase
Yeah, we just create and erase

Official Lyrics:
Waves

1st Verse:

You've made me a better artist
But the pictures I've painted have made me heartless
Took my craft to the limit so that I could capture and harness
Now I'm the farthest
I've ever been from being me
Can't look myself in the mirror and envision where I want to be

Damn
I don't recognize who I am
Maybe it's masked behind all the work that I just keep creatin'
Sedatin'
My mind from fading
Away to black
That's why 50 songs later, I'm still writing the same old track

This shit used to be healing
Then, one day I lost that feeling
The urge to write wasn't so appealing
Tragically trapping my thoughts under this ceiling

Couldn't raise the bar, no way to raise this roof
Feeling so Claustrophobic in this booth
Now trying to prove
To myself I can do
What I set my mind to

Emotionally distressed
Lonely and depressed
Just getting this demon off my chest

Hook:
I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the stream

2nd Verse:

Feeling emotional, the colours blended all the same
50 shades of shame
Colours wash away in the morning rain
Smeared and faded colours of emotional pain

God, where do I belong?
I’m trying to do right but I still do the wrong
Yeah, I guess I still write my feelings in this song
But those feelings seem to remain after all those memories that have gone

Maybe feeling emotional is just part of growing up
And maybe hitting rock bottom is part of going up

You left me stranded, lovesick on your potion
I left my heart out in the open
Only hoping
That I wouldn’t drown in the ocean
My brain lost in an hour glass playing in slow motion
Still trapped in this glass case of emotion

I’m telling myself to smile, but I’m still frowning
Because missing you comes in waves, and tonight I’m drowning

Hook:
I'm slowly drifting away (drifting away)
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the stream

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Compulsive, obsessive
All these curses I've been blessed with
Keep me on the ledge, but emotion just gave me a death wish
Searching for my ghost but I'm left breathless
Fuck if I know where I'm headed, truth is I'm helpless

He said, it's getting harder to find people that understand
The voice of genius that plays inside these grains of sand
Tiny moments he holds within the palm of his hand
Contemplating life in past tense, there he goes off the rails again

Because this love don't feel right anymore
And I am once again forced to close another door
This pain is just something I can't ignore
I'm just a lost soul with trapped wings, trying to soar

And as my thoughts keep me company in this abandoned realm, my tears fall like acidic rain
Destroying everything in my path with dark, demonic pain
Dark demonic pain
Inside my brain
Help me Lord, I’m going insane

2nd verse:
Waiting for my mind to drift away
Like my body is at the gateway
Am I in hell? Could this be the day?
Could it all end in disarray?

Raw emotion weeping in pain
Rawest potion deep within my veins
Carry my burden oh father, I exclaim
Help me fight the darkness inside my brain

Been through this ring of fire once before
But now I have to cross the devil once more
Up against the wall, bagging on the floor
Help me stop this devilish game, please just restore
On the front lines, but I've always been this prisoner of war

I'm in hell, this could be my day
It could all end here, death is underway
Flesh turned to ash, my soul left to decay
Burning in the fires of hell, my mind is left to fade away

I'm a problem child drowning in a think tank
Releasing venomous ink but my page still remains blank

Thank You For The Last 10 Years (Matthew Luppino - Demo Reel) 2021

Matthew Luppino 2021-05-14 | Matthew Luppino - Director/Cinematographer/Editor (Official Demo Reel) 2021

Thank you for the last 10 years! Here's to the next 10!

When I started this journey back in 2011, I never would have believed in my wildest dreams that I would be where I am today. I was just a kid with a camcorder trying to make sense of the world around me. Now, I look back at the countless hours I spent perfecting my craft over the many projects I have accomplished in the last 10 years. I glance at the 21 international awards that all have my name on them. And I remember all the wonderful memories with each and every one of you through the years. It has been a journey of pain, passion and love. And I would do it all over again exactly the same, in a heartbeat. No regrets.

I have self-indulged in my art for the last 10 years and looking back at all of my creations only further inspires me to continue creating.

Thank you film, for being my medicine, making me better than I've ever been. You have saved the artist within me.

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
I heard the weatherman say it’ll be cold, cold weather
You know as long as we are together
I don’t need no one other
No matter the rain and thunder

I will write the story line
For my dearest valentine
Cause baby you make the sun shine

I wanna wrap you up and kiss your lips
I wanna feel your fingertips

Marked on the calendar, September 26th,
2020
Palms will be sweaty
Knees will be weak, arms will be heavy
But on that day, I promise, I’ll be ready

From now until infinity
I want to make you feel wanted
Unconditionally
Just you and me

2nd Verse:
Peanut and Hiccup forever and ever
To the moon and back forever, together

You are mine until the last star dies
In every galaxy all across the skies
So I vow to compromise
To always harmonize
All these butterflies
That I feel when I look in your eyes

Thank you God, I finally found my nemo
And I can’t wait to call her Mrs. Luppino

I vow to always love you each and every day
I vow to never walk away
Through sickness and in health
For better or for worse
I vow to always love you beyond this verse

Love is patient and love is kind
And in my mind
With every kiss, hands intertwined
Our stars have finally realigned

And when the ink fades,
I’ll be here for you, dancing in the rain
And these vows will always remain
I love you peanut, more than I can ever explain
These are my ink stains

Truly yours...
Every minute with you is like watching the sunrise
Baby you got me so hypnotized

I’ll love you until our hearts are empty
And on that day I will kiss you so gently
These are just my ink stains

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Feeling hopeless
Holding moments
I notice
This rope it’s
Tightening, I’m losing focus
Knots in my stomach, at my lowest
I feel explosive
Loaded the gun, devoted
But still frozen
With diagnosis
Broken, searching
For motive
I’ve opened
Emotion,
Corrosive
Commotion, my head is ferocious
I need a
Higher dosage
No,
I can’t be homeless, ahhh

Yeah,
I can’t seem to escape it
I just ignore it and keep sedating;
Like I’m chasing
These faded
Eraser shavings
The raging
Thoughts keep racing
Pacing
These halls
Changing
Within these walls

I’m sitting in the aftermath
Like a maniac
Flashing back
To your photograph

I’m going under, I’m starting to drown
I’m looking all around
I guess I did let you down
Damn

Hook - Alex M. Brinkley:
Wonder what you think of me now?
Wonder if if i’ll turn around
Wonder what you think of me now?
Wonder if i let you down

2nd Verse:
I carry myself like I have things all together
But deep inside, I am lonelier than ever

I can’t seem to get this off my chest
I often wonder why I’m still depressed
But every morning, I get dressed
Look in the mirror, and say I’m just stressed

You gotta know it’s hard to start
Creating art
With all my heart
When it feels like I lost that spark

But my passion is still lurking in the dark
So I’m trying to make my mark
While the world is still trying to drown this shark

Yeah,
I know, I let myself down and
Damn near a thousand times

But one moment
Will not define
My life,
I need a line
Within my mind
Searching but cannot find
I guess I’m still searching for closure with these rhymes

So I switched up my style, pushed back the album
Focused on myself just to see a difference in the outcome

Hook - Alex M. Brinkley:
Wonder what you think of me now?
Wonder if if i’ll turn around
Wonder what you think of me now?
Wonder if i let you down

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Man what’s wrong with the world, shit I don’t know
Stuck in the house all day, no place I can go
Hitting an all-time low
Let it go, I need to let it breathe
But can we agree to disagree
This quarantine life just ain’t meant for me

Here but gone
We’re all pawns in this game
A speck of dust passing through this frame
Look at this world, we’re all the same

Sitting in four walls we all feel this pain
Sitting in the dark, trying to stay sane
We fight a war inside our brain
Watching the world go insane
On the other side of the window pane

Here but gone
But What’s really going on?

It’s a state of emergency
Living life with uncertainty
Living in fear
Universally
Suffering internally eh

We’re all trapped in the house like prisoners
I guess We all feel like visitors

It feels like we are losing
our freedom
And we’re Feeling defeated,
broken and beaten
Our people are running out of ideas

Losing our rights, it doesn’t feel right
They say we need to stay at home, and save a life

That we need to Wear masks and gloves
Stay at home to protect the people you love

Chaos in the streets
Silent tears of the deceased
We all hold on to the edge of our seats
For all every breaking news press release

Insanity will be the next wave
Trapped like a slave
6 feet apart they rave
Like they’ve already dug our graves

Sold out essentials
It only resembles
The levels
Of our world’s mentals

And we’re all scared, and we all know it
Some of us just different ways to show it

It feels like we’re all alone
And we’ve lost our control
Fearing the unknown
Here but gone,
But we’re all Waiting on
A new tomorrow
I’m gone

Matthew Luppino - Anyways ft. IkeThaWrita (prod. Dreamlife Beats) [Official Audio]

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
I've been passing different levels
Battling different devils

It’s like I'm still searching
For what's still lurking
And even though I've been working
I can't find the right wording

Time is passing, and I find myself asking
I keep looking to the old me, like that's where I'm supposed to be

Life was so different back then
I was engulfed in passion every time I held the pen
And when I created; I was in some sort of zen

Like within that moment
I was frozen, I was so focused
I was broken but I found enjoyment
I was an open poet
Then I lost the one component
That kept me growing

I keep looking back, not knowing
That I'm moving forward

And it's my duty to fulfill
Some sort of thrill
With my creations
But I'm in the midst of transition
I have to switch my position
While still trying to accomplish the same mission

2nd verse:
Do what you love, that's when you're the happiest
But what is the price of happiness?

If I could see some perspectives
Maybe if I take a second
And watch my reflection
But all I see is a bunch of different directions

See I've been buying time
Writing down another line
Like it's just another rhyme
Without following my divine design
So I go back to intertwine
Every sign
Redefine
The story line

But no matter how much you love your craft
Sometimes it just doesn't love you back

I'm so scared of the future and what it will hold
Fighting for a dream that might not unfold
I still believe in myself and my goals
Going the distance with all my heart and soul

Where I will go, I don’t know
But deep inside, I know I will grow

So as I write
These words tonight
Imma fight
So that my fire doesn’t lose its light

Matthew Luppino - No You And Me (prod. Magestick Records) [Official Audio]

Matthew Luppino 2020-03-16 | Beat produced by: Magestick Records
Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by: Matthew Luppino

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
I’m so lost in the moment
I have to pinch myself to stay focused
Kind words left unspoken
It’s Left me heartbroken
And the closest Thing to you is a distant memory
I don’t wanna reflect on it mentally
I can’t believe we turned into enemies
Can’t believe I put your love in jeopardy
But honestly,
If I could restart the page and throwback to that track
Flip the disc and relive our synergy
I would do so many things differently
To see you once more, to end this misery
This shit is true
Ain’t a day that goes on that I don’t miss you

I’m still searching for what used to be
Stuck in the past, it was just you and me
Now were distant memories
Trapped in a bottle, forgotten
A colossal, coffin, that’s still rotting
Filled with a broken promise
At the bottom of the sea, I see
A Goddess that’s left demolished

Hook:
Haunted by these memories
Of you and me
Haunted by the very possibility
Of destiny
But honestly

I will love you from afar
No matter where you are

But honestly,
I’m haunted by these memories
Of you and me
I have to let you go, I have to set you free
So now there’s no you and me
I have to let you go, I have to set you free
So now there’s no you and me
There’s no you and me

2nd Verse:
She said smile because it happened
But now I’m sitting here rapping

Thinking about me and you
And all shit we put each other through
But when sorry doesn’t cut it
Sometimes you gotta walk away
I’m torn between a rock and a hard place
Gave her my heart but she wanted space
So I left the pages open,
Hoping to return
Closed our chapter, but then she burned
The book
And now I look
For her in every face
In every smile, in every place
Only to find the empty space
In my heart where memories are now erased

So Will you remember me when I’m gone?
Or will this just be another sad song?

Hook:
Haunted by these memories
Of you and me
Haunted by the very possibility
Of destiny
But honestly

I will love you from afar
No matter where you are

But honestly,
I’m haunted by these memories
Of you and me
I have to let you go, I have to set you free
So now there’s no you and me
I have to let you go, I have to set you free
So now there’s no you and me
There’s no you and me

© Sourze Music. Instrumentals EST. 2009-2019
Music Producer: Jurrivh
Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by: Matthew Luppino

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Ayo, Yo, look...
I’ve grown and seen some nasty shit
Old friends turned to ghosts real quick
Fake hoes, with the fakest love, real friends turned to foes
I guess that’s just how this shit goes

Whack haters, public enemies, I see all the fakes
Turn to my direction; I can see all the hate

Inside the frame
I can see you playing two different plains
Good cop, bad cop, always switching lanes
Trying to be one in the same

But I see right through the mask
Right through the glass
I will blast right through this past

So
I gotta burn the bridge to never cross it again
Look, I’d burn the world down if I never had to see you again
Damn

I always knew you were a poser
I’ll keep my friends close, and keep my enemies’ closer
I used to overdose; and now it’s over
And now it’s closure

I’m showing no remorse
I’m just going to let karma take its course

Hook:
You can run but you can’t hide
In the sand, I’m drawing a line to divide
The real from the fakes
The grass from the snakes
You ain’t gonna make or break
I’m coming for you, no matter what’s at stake

I’ll make you wish that you never lied
Choose your side
I’m drawing the line to divide
The real from the fakes
The grass from the snakes
You ain’t gonna make or break
I’m coming for you, no matter what’s at stake

2nd Verse:
Homies up and left like a bad habit
It's got me hip hopping on these rhymes like a bunny rabbit
But you know what though, I've had it
Stop lying to me, you trailer trash maggot

Before, after and during
Feelings recurring
Stirring
And transferring
Emotions always blurring

And I’mma direct
Thoughts into effect
You just lost my respect
I’m coming for all the times that you’ve wrecked

Whatever it takes
I’m cleaning out the fakes
It’s time to ghost all the snakes
Eh

Hook:
You can run but you can’t hide
In the sand, I’m drawing a line to divide
The real from the fakes
The grass from the snakes
You ain’t gonna make or break
I’m coming for you, no matter what’s at stake

I’ll make you wish that you never lied
Choose your side
I’m drawing the line to divide
The real from the fakes
The grass from the snakes
You ain’t gonna make or break
I’m coming for you, no matter what’s at stake

Matthew Luppino - Demons (prod. Freek van Workum) [Official Audio]

Matthew Luppino 2020-03-16 | Beat produced by Multi-Platinum producer Freek van Workum
Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by: Matthew Luppino

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
2019, supposed to be equal
But it's a human kind of evil
When stress changes people
Telling someone their not good enough should be illegal

The dust had settled, and of course I recovered
But mentally, I was still stuck in that summer
And no one truly knows how much I've suffered
Been told all my life I'm nothing and I'm discovered
The sad true colours
Of my once true lovers

I got back up, started writing again
I picked up the pen, I did it for me
And made some sort of attempt
To vent

And lay it all across the page
Once and for all, finally release the rage
Though it's just a phrase, maybe wounds heals with age

Years of therapy thought it would heal
But the truth is what's lurking needs to be revealed
And though love is a battlefield
I can't seem to contain these demons that I've concealed

2nd Verse:
Yo
I ain't scared of the dark
Because I've lived with monsters right from the start

I guess you could say I was bullied or abused
What's the difference, see I am still confused?
I was bullied by kids in school that disapproved
I was different, so I made it my sole purpose to prove
And when I got successful, you still refused
To show gratitude
Instead you tore me down, told me I was nothing

But no more patterns, I'm ending this discussion
You’re not loving
You're disgusting
And I'm brushing you off
Like you are the one that's nothing
Because the truth is, I know I'm something

Everyone will doubt me, I don't give a fuck
At the end of the day, I know I make my own luck

Back against the wall, I'm forced to start over
I guess I'm going to have to heal with no closure

3rd Verse (Exclude):
Despite your opinion of me, I know I'm imperfectly perfect
But all of your neglect
Has left me with this defect
And mentally, I can't accept
100 percent
And nothing is good enough for what I expect
So I guess I have you to blame for this mindset
But when I resurrect
I promise you’ll go to repent
But I won't forget
The times you’ve left me wrecked and depressed
Going back to reflect
On the demons that left me in torment

Matthew Luppino - Searching For Closure (prod. tunnA Beatz) [Official Audio]

Matthew Luppino 2020-03-16 | Beat produced by: tunnA Beatz
Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by: Matthew Luppino

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Yeah it’s crazy…
That I still look back, and it hurts all the same
The door's locked, but I still peak through the window pane
Watching lost time play inside the frame
I guess you could say you still live inside my brain

Passion turns into pain and pain back into passion
It's just a chain reaction
When I look for satisfaction
In another distraction
Tell me what happens
When that tragic magic
Turns back to ashes?
So…

I’m trying to move on, not sure who I’m becoming
But I guess I’m still missing something
I guess what they say is true, time heals nothing

Still stuck in this loop, lost in my feelings
I wish I didn’t feel things
I guess I had the real thing
But will my heart ever stop bleeding?

So, I'm still searching for closure, I'm lost in the dark
And even though it's over, I know I’ve lost my spark

2nd Verse:
I want you to know I’ve been struggling with shit every single day
And I can’t write what I need to say

My first love ripped me apart
But God gave me my art
And helped me pick up the pieces to restart
Healed with no closure and fixed my broken heart

But I guess I still wear my heart on my sleeve
Yeah I guess I never know when to leave

So I can agree
What we perceive
Is what we believe
And without it, life’s not as complete
In between
Proceed or retreat?
Admit defeat and hit delete
Should I succeed in deceit?
Searching way back to summer sixteen

We would share our scars
Sitting in that car
We talked about life under the stars

I was at my lowest when I lost focus
I’m still a broken poet
Looking back at life, I guess all we have is moments

3rd Verse:
So yeah I’ll admit I’m still searching
Yeah I guess I’ll admit I’m still hurting

I’m just a starving artist
Just a man working his hardest
To harness
The darkness
That still makes me heartless

My first love tainted my perception
It’s like what I created I’ve learned to question
I feel like I’ve wasted my perfection
But it’s complicated when you go through depression

So many faded reflections
Led to an elevated obsession
Of Infatuated affection
So frustrated with my direction
All I painted was valentine’s deception

You know I used to think we would last
But now I’ve left you back in the past

I told you one day I’ll explain
The pain
That lives inside my brain

I know everyone’s got their demons, but mine are taking over
And even though I’m still hurting, I’m still searching for closure eh

Matthew Luppino - Closure (Prod. Jurrivh x Syndrome) [Official Audio]

Matthew Luppino 2020-03-16 | Produced by: Jurrivh and Syndrome
Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by: Matthew Luppino

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
You believed in me when no one else would
Together, we were misfits misunderstood

That was way before any award or recognition
We were two geniuses sharing the same vision
We were ambitious, we created with conviction
Believed in our mission like it was our religion
We were so driven, we crafted with precision

That took us out to the city of angels
Where we celebrated with congratulations
Thank our lucky constellations
We won because of our imagination
But along the way, there was a complication
See we had the drive but we lost the destination
Our contagious
Motivation
Turned to frustration
I guess we lost the inspiration
With empty sensation
So I went back to the basics
And then you became my acquaintance
I guess we just have painful expectations
For what was supposed to be our creation
Now we are just strangers
With so many great memories inside our pages

We were supposed to be brothers
You saved me like no other
Why did you have to go and show me your true colours?

So I drank until I was no longer sober
I guess some things you don’t get over
And as I grew older
I held on to the past, still wounded with no closure

Hook:
Took a look in the mirror, I’m ready to cleanse
And view the world through a different kind of lens
I’m ready to heal; this is where the pain ends
It’s time that I turn the page and forgive all my friends

So as I gain a new perspective
I take a second
And think back to all my exes
I thank you for all the lessons
You taught me to be respected

And though it's over

At least now we will have some closure, yeah…

2nd Verse:
When life got confusing
We spent the nights cruising
Talked about life, you asked how I was doing
Life was a mess; I told you I might be moving
So you sat with me and waited through the ruin

Why did you have to go,
I guess I'll never know
I’m grateful, you taught me how to grow
So now I will do my best
To get this off my chest
I love you, I was blessed
And even though I'm on a different quest
Just know I am thankful
You were my angel

I've loved and lost in a downward spiral
I nearly took my life, I was that suicidal
But you were my idol
Guiding me to revival

You gave me hope for another day
And if I could say
One thing, I would unwind
The rhyme
And remind
You all of all the great times

And I‘m sorry that we became distant
But if you can find some closure while you listen
I'll promise I'll find mine because of your very existence

Hook:
Took a look in the mirror, I’m ready to cleanse
And view the world through a different kind of lens
I’m ready to heal; this is where the pain ends
It’s time that I turn the page and forgive all my friends

So as I gain a new perspective
I take a second
And think back to all my exes
I thank you for all the lessons
You taught me to be respected

And though it's over
At least now we will have some closure, yeah…

Matthew Luppino - Phoenix {The Rise} (prod. GYVUS) [Official Audio]

Matthew Luppino 2020-03-16 | Produced by: GYVUS
Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by: Matthew Luppino
Written By: Matthew Luppino And Laura Holman

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
It’s like when I grip the mic
All I do is swing at strikes
See, you and me, we are not alike

You’re a mac and I’m a PC
Opposites in this industry
When I’m in the zone, I am finally free eh
No body
Will ever work as hard as me

Working hard, saving for a dream
Losing my self-esteem

Me and my fiancé are a team
Out here plotting a new scheme

Now I know it’s been a minute
I’ll admit
But I’m back on my shit

Scheming, daydreaming
Just caught in my feelings
They come and go like the seasons

Going back and forth, trying to find the urge to write
I see the spark in sight
But how do you paint the picture when you only see black and white?

So I got engaged
And now I trace the lines on the page
And erase the rhymes filled with rage
And embrace the girl waiting for me back stage

Damn man
I missed this feeling
Tried to bottle it but I missed the meaning
Tried to write all my demons
But I’m still breathing
Under water, under the ceiling
Inside my home, they are still feeding
Off my heart, internally bleedin’
Now I keep seeing
And hearing
Voice of reason
Trying to tell me to give up, to stop dreaming
It’s got me sleeping
On my work, freezing
On the mic, while I write, needing
More to this game than I thought, leaving
The past behind but losing my entire being
So now I’m cleaning out my closet
I met the love of my life
She told me don’t stop believing

So, I’ve been doing me
I’ve been writing free
Yeah, doing what’s meant to be

Riding around with my queen
Pulling up in a limousine
On my way to the silver screen
I’m off the meds, I’m finally clean

And I visualize
Life neutralized
And I realized
This is “the rise”

In the middle of the night
I found my way to the light
So now I write
About all the demons I used to fight

Yeah, the worst is over, yeah I survived
Happy to say that I feel good inside
I’ve killed the thought of suicide
I’m back, yeah I revived

And now looking back in retrospect
I guess I did resurrect

As an artist
It was in the days that were the darkest
That I started to harness
My love and rise above the darkness

Like a phoenix from the ashes
I had to burn, to find my passion
Now it’s movie magic
Lights, camera, action

You only get one life, so now I’m down to the wire
Soaring higher
In pursuit of setting my soul on fire

I'm following my destiny
By giving the world the best of me
This divine design is my human supremacy
So like the phoenix, I’m back to leave my legacy

Matthew Luppino - Smile (prod. One Tone) [Official Audio]

Matthew Luppino 2020-03-16 | Produced by: One Tone
Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by: Matthew Luppino

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Trying to do the best that I can
But you gotta understand
That I'm just a man

Sometimes there's not enough seconds in a day
I'm always needing an escape
Trying my best to elevate
My mental state

I’m blessed
But I’m cursed with
Emotions
Depressed
I became a wordsmith
It feels like I'm always searching
But I’m just returning
To the past, to reword it

Yeah
See, I'm just a phoenix trying to harness my darkest demons
Just a Genius searching through harboured feelings
Trying to find closure, searching for a meaning
Just an artist with this weakness searching through my pieces

2nd verse:
You gotta smile once in a while
But if you had to walk a mile
In my shoes
You might refuse
And choose
To walk down different avenues
I think we just have different views

The truth is I’m really falling apart
Just trying to solve the riddle of my heart
Go back to start
Call it phase 2 art

There was a point in time when you saw my demons
There was a point in time when you saw my reasons
And now we've gone through so many seasons
But sometimes I can’t explain this feeling This late in the evening

But we fight it out because we know it's worth it
I know I can be a difficult person
Especially when I'm always working
Behind that closed curtain
I’m feeling like a burden, uncertain
Why I’m still searching
Overworking
Why I’m still hurting
I guess I’m still learning
So I’m returning
Like a phoenix burning

Matthew Luppino - Ink Stains (prod. Marzen Rouse) [Official Audio]

Matthew Luppino 2020-03-16 | Produced by: Marzen Rouse and Kyu Tracks
Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by: Matthew Luppino

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
I heard the weatherman say it’ll be cold, cold weather
You know as long as we are together
I don’t need no one other
No matter the rain and thunder

I will write the story line
For my dearest valentine
Cause baby you make the sun shine

I wanna wrap you up and kiss your lips
I wanna feel your fingertips

Marked on the calendar, September 26th,
2020
Palms will be sweaty
Knees will be weak, arms will be heavy
But on that day, I promise, I’ll be ready

From now until infinity
I want to make you feel wanted
Unconditionally
Just you and me

2nd Verse:
Peanut and Hiccup forever and ever
To the moon and back forever, together

You are mine until the last star dies
In every galaxy all across the skies
So I vow to compromise
To always harmonize
All these butterflies
That I feel when I look in your eyes

Thank you God, I finally found my nemo
And I can’t wait to call her Mrs. Luppino

I vow to always love you each and every day
I vow to never walk away
Through sickness and in health
For better or for worse
I vow to always love you beyond this verse

Love is patient and love is kind
And in my mind
With every kiss, hands intertwined
Our stars have finally realigned

And when the ink fades,
I’ll be here for you, dancing in the rain
And these vows will always remain
I love you peanut, more than I can ever explain
These are my ink stains

Truly yours...
Every minute with you is like watching the sunrise
Baby you got me so hypnotized

I’ll love you until our hearts are empty
And on that day I will kiss you so gently
These are just my ink stains

Matthew Luppino - Her Love ft. Nate (prod. RockIt Pro) [Official Audio]

Matthew Luppino 2020-03-16 | Produced by: RockIt Productions
Hook By: Nate
Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by: Matthew Luppino

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Yeah babe I gotta say I love you lots
If I was Tony Stark you’d be my Pepper Pots
Butterflies in my stomach tied in knots

Whenever I look in her eyes
She’s got me hypnotized

Her love got me tongue tied
As she rides by my side

Love at the speed of sound
You’re my smile when I frown
You’re my rock when I’m feeling down

My entire world, everything that I need
The world spins at a different speed
I only need you to succeed
So take my hand and I’ll take the lead

You’re my angel sent to me
Sentimentally
And Potentially
My wife to be

We accidentally fell in love endlessly
And now I can’t believe we fell hard for our chemistry
You’re my peace and serenity
And now you’re my remedy
Every melody
Yeah I think we are meant to be

2nd Verse:
So I Spent some nights in the hospital, waiting
Hating myself, contemplating
If I was good enough, depreciating
Trying to balance a depressed life while suffocating

Doing my best to cope, operating
With no sleep, I fought, still creating

I took a step forward, I was motivating
Trying to get stronger, by concentrating
And working hard to start communicating
And then one day I met you ice skating

Been through mountains I doubt you’d want to climb
I’ve written over 100,000 rhymes
And I’ve crossed over every line
Gone through depression about a million times

But I’m stronger now because I have your therapy
You carry my heart in every melody
Your love is my ecstasy
And honestly,

You brought me back to life
I can’t believe it, can’t explain it; I just know that you’ll one day be my future wife

3rd Verse:

I think I’ve had to say too many goodbyes
Living inside a mind that wants to die

Under a beautiful moon, I sat distressed
With my heart nearly beating out of my chest
I suffocated, trying to impress
But she understood I was not like the rest
I suffer panic attacks, especially when I’m stressed
So I confess
Even when I’m having one, I’m still trying my best
Yeah, she told me not to worry, because I’m blessed
And I guess
She’s right
I think back to that night
The night we first met
Back to all the times I could never forget

Her love makes me reminisce
Back to our first kiss
The feeling of complete bliss
But it’s her smile that I always miss

Her smile lights up my world
And no matter where I go, I know she’s my girl
She’s my girl eh

Matthew Luppino - Hope (prod. Magestick Records) [Official Audio]

Matthew Luppino 2020-03-16 | Produced by: Magestick Records
Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by: Matthew Luppino

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Living life in the extremes
Manic bipolar is what I mean

Have you ever taken a loss?
Gave it everything you had and still failed
Been knocked down, take a deep breath, and inhale
This is just a classic tale
Of an underdog, back against the rail
Let me tell you why you'll prevail

So you've lost of all hope
And you're backs against the ropes
Down and out, so I ask you what's next?
Yeah okay, okay I guess
I'm perplexed
That answer is
So complex

I know it's hard, but don't give in, think back to your aspirations
Your inspiration, your motivation,
What was your salvation?
Why are you quitting on the dream you've been chasing?

So you lost the drive, not the destination
Now that your hearts racing
Trust that sensation
That is the foundation
To your every creation

Hook:
Yeah I know it's hard to proceed when you’re in defeat
But just believe what is meant to be will be
Back against the rope, it’s just me vs. me
So find that hope and let it set you free

I know you’re lost in the dark, but don’t let your spark run out of light
Just get back up and fight
Back against the rope it’s just me vs. me
So find that hope and let it set you free

2nd Verse:
So when I won my first award, I was an inspiration
But as I got better, the awards lost their sensation
And I kept winning, but it’s like I lost the celebration
And with every creation
I was waiting
For a new vibration

Some days I'm in this mood I can't break
And sometimes I'm falling deeper in mistakes

I’m just a rapper with a dream
Watching the stars as they gleam
Shining like I’m designing
My rhyming
And I’m just defying
Gravity

Now I’m Falling apart
I gotta get back up and start
Creating that art
With all my heart

I’m just a diamond in the rough waiting for my time
But people tend to throw rocks that always seem to shine
So I’m just under pressure, following my design

So don’t give up in something you can’t see
Have faith and find hope in what’s meant to be

Hook:
Yeah I know it's hard to proceed when you’re in defeat
But just believe what is meant to be will be
Back against the rope, it’s just me vs. me
So find that hope and let it set you free

I know you’re lost in the dark, but don’t let your spark run out of light
Just get back up and fight
Back against the rope it’s just me vs. me
So find that hope and let it set you free

Matthew Luppino - Let You Down ft. Alex M. Brinkley (prod. tunnA Beatz) [Official Audio]

Matthew Luppino 2020-03-16 | Produced by: tunnA Beatz
Hook By: Alex M. Brinkley
Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by: Matthew Luppino

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Feeling hopeless
Holding moments
I notice
This rope it’s
Tightening, I’m losing focus
Knots in my stomach, at my lowest
I feel explosive
Loaded the gun, devoted
But still frozen
With diagnosis
Broken, searching
For motive
I’ve opened
Emotion,
Corrosive
Commotion, my head is ferocious
I need a
Higher dosage
No,
I can’t be homeless, ahhh

Yeah,
I can’t seem to escape it
I just ignore it and keep sedating;
Like I’m chasing
These faded
Eraser shavings
The raging
Thoughts keep racing
Pacing
These halls
Changing
Within these walls

I’m sitting in the aftermath
Like a maniac
Flashing back
To your photograph

I’m going under, I’m starting to drown
I’m looking all around
I guess I did let you down
Damn

Hook - Alex M. Brinkley:
Wonder what you think of me now?
Wonder if if i’ll turn around
Wonder what you think of me now?
Wonder if i let you down

2nd Verse:
I carry myself like I have things all together
But deep inside, I am lonelier than ever

I can’t seem to get this off my chest
I often wonder why I’m still depressed
But every morning, I get dressed
Look in the mirror, and say I’m just stressed

You gotta know it’s hard to start
Creating art
With all my heart
When it feels like I lost that spark

But my passion is still lurking in the dark
So I’m trying to make my mark
While the world is still trying to drown this shark

Yeah,
I know, I let myself down and
Damn near a thousand times

But one moment
Will not define
My life,
I need a line
Within my mind
Searching but cannot find
I guess I’m still searching for closure with these rhymes

So I switched up my style, pushed back the album
Focused on myself just to see a difference in the outcome

Hook - Alex M. Brinkley:
Wonder what you think of me now?
Wonder if if i’ll turn around
Wonder what you think of me now?
Wonder if i let you down

Matthew Luppino - Only Human (prod. tunnA Beatz) [Official Audio]

Matthew Luppino 2020-03-16 | Produced by: tunnA Beatz
Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by: Matthew Luppino

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Compulsive, obsessive
All these curses I've been blessed with
Keep me on the ledge, but emotion just gave me a death wish
Searching for my ghost but I'm left breathless
Fuck if I know where I'm headed, truth is I'm helpless

He said, it's getting harder to find people that understand
The voice of genius that plays inside these grains of sand
Tiny moments he holds within the palm of his hand
Contemplating life in past tense, there he goes off the rails again

Because this love don't feel right anymore
And I am once again forced to close another door
This pain is just something I can't ignore
I'm just a lost soul with trapped wings, trying to soar

And as my thoughts keep me company in this abandoned realm, my tears fall like acidic rain
Destroying everything in my path with dark, demonic pain
Dark demonic pain
Inside my brain
Help me Lord, I’m going insane

2nd verse:
Waiting for my mind to drift away
Like my body is at the gateway
Am I in hell? Could this be the day?
Could it all end in disarray?

Raw emotion weeping in pain
Rawest potion deep within my veins
Carry my burden oh father, I exclaim
Help me fight the darkness inside my brain

Been through this ring of fire once before
But now I have to cross the devil once more
Up against the wall, bagging on the floor
Help me stop this devilish game, please just restore
On the front lines, but I've always been this prisoner of war

I'm in hell, this could be my day
It could all end here, death is underway
Flesh turned to ash, my soul left to decay
Burning in the fires of hell, my mind is left to fade away

I'm a problem child drowning in a think tank
Releasing venomous ink but my page still remains blank

Matthew Luppino - Overthinking ft. Alex M. Brinkley (prod. tunnA Beatz) [Official Audio]

Matthew Luppino 2020-03-16 | Beat Produced By: tunnA Beatz
Hook By: Alex M. Brinkley
Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by: Matthew Luppino

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Maybe it’s my fault, maybe I did this
Go back and forth, what did I miss?
Go over it all again, let’s reminisce
You passed out in my bed, I gave you a kiss

On the forehead as I tucked you in the covers
Took me a few years to uncover
Your true colours

I’m digesting
What you did to me, it was plain disgusting
I was down and out and felt like nothing
I turned to you, was I wrong for trusting?

Or were you wrong for keeping me your secret?
Hiding me for no apparent reason
Running back to whoever was more convenient
Still believing that you were not cheating
When you were sleeping
With me and him in the same evening
You played with my heart, you messed with my feelings
You really are so deceiving
I guess the truth is finally leaking
Pinch me, I’m no longer dreaming
Now everyone knows you are the real demon

Hook:
I’m overthinking again these words inside of my head repeating, repeating I’m overthinking again these words inside of my head they never, they never end

2nd Verse:
I’m overthinking again, so I sit and ponder
You brought the worst out in me
You turned me into a monster
It’s like you had the power to alter
Anything I conjure

Every time you went behind his back
You suddenly had these awful panic attacks

Every time we had sex, you cried
No, you crawled into the corner and lied
Said you were done with him, all teary eyed
And every night you were by his side

But now I got you in the spotlight
Nowhere left to go
I got you locked in my sights
Time to expose this hoe
You’re a lying, cheating parasite
I hate you more than you will ever know
The clock strikes midnight
I’m pulling the trigger and even so
Maybe I’m wrong, maybe you’re right

Maybe I’m the one to blame
But remember, you were the one playing the game
Now I get to cock back and aim
So I take your picture out of the frame
And watch your name burst into flames

Hook:
I’m overthinking again these words inside of my head repeating, repeating I’m overthinking again these words inside of my head they never, they never end

Matthew Luppino - Create And Erase (prod. Magestick Records) [Official Audio]

Matthew Luppino 2020-03-16 | Beat produced by: Magestick Records
Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by: Matthew Luppino

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
I'm so tired of the hatin'
The constant fakin'
Makin'
False accusations
Just be real, we could be amazin'
Because my heart is still achin'
Missing my pieces, waitin'
Not loving what I’m creating
So we’re Isolating

Yeah, we stopped communicating
I love you but you ain’t reciprocating
It’s devastating
No, it’s fucking intoxicating
Your love was so damn captivating
So hate me, just know that I'm suffocatin'
I am here for you, no matter what I'm facin'

Yeah,
I’m still high off the butterflies
I’m still drunk on your lies
Sinking ships, drowning in your whisky eyes
Why does love always have to die?

Blood in the water, we will never cleanse
There’s truly no way to make amends
I guess all good things must come to an end
And I guess now we are no longer friends

Chorus:
Remember all the memories we used to create?
Now your memories of me have warped into hate
And every time I think of you, I patiently await
The day you'll want me back, sadly it will be too late

I've tried to go back and retrace
But I've lost the memory of your face
So I guess in life we just create and erase
Yeah, we just create and erase

2nd verse:
Take it from me, nothing feels the same
I still see your face in my empty picture frames
I guess my mind likes to play these little games
Inside my brain, I'm burning by my own flames
When can I erase your name?

You and I had a love that defied logic
We almost had it but we fucking lost it
And together we were psychotic
We brought the best and worst out in each other, how ironic
That we were so toxic
A catastrophic
Bittersweet
Heartbeat

We had a love I still can’t explain
And you and I went through so much pain
Every fight, every storm, every hurricane
But you and me, we were fucking insane

2017
Bonnie and Clyde
And the truth is I’d
Always stand by your side
So just know I’m truly satisfied
Because at least we can say we fucking tried

Chorus:
Remember all the memories we used to create?
Now your memories of me have warped into hate
Every time I think of you, I patiently await
The day you'll want me back, sadly it will be too late

I've tried to go back and retrace
But I've lost the memory of your face
So I guess in life we just create and erase
Yeah, we just create and erase

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
2019, supposed to be equal
But it's a human kind of evil
When stress changes people
Telling someone their not good enough should be illegal

The dust had settled, and of course I recovered
But mentally, I was still stuck in that summer
And no one truly knows how much I've suffered
Been told all my life I'm nothing and I'm discovered
The sad true colours
Of my once true lovers

I got back up, started writing again
I picked up the pen, I did it for me
And made some sort of attempt
To vent

And lay it all across the page
Once and for all, finally release the rage
Though it's just a phrase, maybe wounds heals with age

Years of therapy thought it would heal
But the truth is what's lurking needs to be revealed
And though love is a battlefield
I can't seem to contain these demons that I've concealed

2nd Verse:
Yo
I ain't scared of the dark
Because I've lived with monsters right from the start

I guess you could say I was bullied or abused
What's the difference, see I am still confused?
I was bullied by kids in school that disapproved
I was different, so I made it my sole purpose to prove
And when I got successful, you still refused
To show gratitude
Instead you tore me down, told me I was nothing

But no more patterns, I'm ending this discussion
You’re not loving
You're disgusting
And I'm brushing you off
Like you are the one that's nothing
Because the truth is, I know I'm something

Everyone will doubt me, I don't give a fuck
At the end of the day, I know I make my own luck

Back against the wall, I'm forced to start over
I guess I'm going to have to heal with no closure

3rd Verse (Exclude):
Despite your opinion of me, I know I'm imperfectly perfect
But all of your neglect
Has left me with this defect
And mentally, I can't accept
100 percent
And nothing is good enough for what I expect
So I guess I have you to blame for this mindset
But when I resurrect
I promise you’ll go to repent
But I won't forget
The times you’ve left me wrecked and depressed
Going back to reflect
On the demons that left me in torment

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Yeah it’s crazy…
That I still look back, and it hurts all the same
The door's locked, but I still peak through the window pane
Watching lost time play inside the frame
I guess you could say you still live inside my brain

Passion turns into pain and pain back into passion
It's just a chain reaction
When I look for satisfaction
In another distraction
Tell me what happens
When that tragic magic
Turns back to ashes?
So…

I’m trying to move on, not sure who I’m becoming
But I guess I’m still missing something
I guess what they say is true, time heals nothing

Still stuck in this loop, lost in my feelings
I wish I didn’t feel things
I guess I had the real thing
But will my heart ever stop bleeding?

So, I'm still searching for closure, I'm lost in the dark
And even though it's over, I know I’ve lost my spark

2nd Verse:
I want you to know I’ve been struggling with shit every single day
And I can’t write what I need to say

My first love ripped me apart
But God gave me my art
And helped me pick up the pieces to restart
Healed with no closure and fixed my broken heart

But I guess I still wear my heart on my sleeve
Yeah I guess I never know when to leave

So I can agree
What we perceive
Is what we believe
And without it, life’s not as complete
In between
Proceed or retreat?
Admit defeat and hit delete
Should I succeed in deceit?
Searching way back to summer sixteen

We would share our scars
Sitting in that car
We talked about life under the stars

I was at my lowest when I lost focus
I’m still a broken poet
Looking back at life, I guess all we have is moments

3rd Verse:
So yeah I’ll admit I’m still searching
Yeah I guess I’ll admit I’m still hurting

I’m just a starving artist
Just a man working his hardest
To harness
The darkness
That still makes me heartless

My first love tainted my perception
It’s like what I created I’ve learned to question
I feel like I’ve wasted my perfection
But it’s complicated when you go through depression

So many faded reflections
Led to an elevated obsession
Of Infatuated affection
So frustrated with my direction
All I painted was valentine’s deception

You know I used to think we would last
But now I’ve left you back in the past

I told you one day I’ll explain
The pain
That lives inside my brain

I know everyone’s got their demons, but mine are taking over
And even though I’m still hurting, I’m still searching for closure eh

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
I’m so lost in the moment
I have to pinch myself to stay focused
Kind words left unspoken
It’s Left me heartbroken
And the closest Thing to you is a distant memory
I don’t wanna reflect on it mentally
I can’t believe we turned into enemies
Can’t believe I put your love in jeopardy
But honestly,
If I could restart the page and throwback to that track
Flip the disc and relive our synergy
I would do so many things differently
To see you once more, to end this misery
This shit is true
Ain’t a day that goes on that I don’t miss you

I’m still searching for what used to be
Stuck in the past, it was just you and me
Now were distant memories
Trapped in a bottle, forgotten
A colossal, coffin, that’s still rotting
Filled with a broken promise
At the bottom of the sea, I see
A Goddess that’s left demolished

Hook:
Haunted by these memories
Of you and me
Haunted by the very possibility
Of destiny
But honestly

I will love you from afar
No matter where you are

But honestly,
I’m haunted by these memories
Of you and me
I have to let you go, I have to set you free
So now there’s no you and me
I have to let you go, I have to set you free
So now there’s no you and me
There’s no you and me

2nd Verse:
She said smile because it happened
But now I’m sitting here rapping

Thinking about me and you
And all shit we put each other through
But when sorry doesn’t cut it
Sometimes you gotta walk away
I’m torn between a rock and a hard place
Gave her my heart but she wanted space
So I left the pages open,
Hoping to return
Closed our chapter, but then she burned
The book
And now I look
For her in every face
In every smile, in every place
Only to find the empty space
In my heart where memories are now erased

So Will you remember me when I’m gone?
Or will this just be another sad song?

Hook:
Haunted by these memories
Of you and me
Haunted by the very possibility
Of destiny
But honestly

I will love you from afar
No matter where you are

But honestly,
I’m haunted by these memories
Of you and me
I have to let you go, I have to set you free
So now there’s no you and me

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Ayo, Yo, look...
I’ve grown and seen some nasty shit
Old friends turned to ghosts real quick
Fake hoes, with the fakest love, real friends turned to foes
I guess that’s just how this shit goes

Whack haters, public enemies, I see all the fakes
Turn to my direction; I can see all the hate

Inside the frame
I can see you playing two different plains
Good cop, bad cop, always switching lanes
Trying to be one in the same

But I see right through the mask
Right through the glass
I will blast right through this past

So
I gotta burn the bridge to never cross it again
Look, I’d burn the world down if I never had to see you again
Damn

I always knew you were a poser
I’ll keep my friends close, and keep my enemies’ closer
I used to overdose; and now it’s over
And now it’s closure

I’m showing no remorse
I’m just going to let karma take its course

Hook:
You can run but you can’t hide
In the sand, I’m drawing a line to divide
The real from the fakes
The grass from the snakes
You ain’t gonna make or break
I’m coming for you, no matter what’s at stake

I’ll make you wish that you never lied
Choose your side
I’m drawing the line to divide
The real from the fakes
The grass from the snakes
You ain’t gonna make or break
I’m coming for you, no matter what’s at stake

2nd Verse:
Homies up and left like a bad habit
It's got me hip hopping on these rhymes like a bunny rabbit
But you know what though, I've had it
Stop lying to me, you trailer trash maggot

Before, after and during
Feelings recurring
Stirring
And transferring
Emotions always blurring

And I’mma direct
Thoughts into effect
You just lost my respect
I’m coming for all the times that you’ve wrecked

Whatever it takes
I’m cleaning out the fakes
It’s time to ghost all the snakes
Eh

Hook:
You can run but you can’t hide
In the sand, I’m drawing a line to divide
The real from the fakes
The grass from the snakes
You ain’t gonna make or break
I’m coming for you, no matter what’s at stake

I’ll make you wish that you never lied
Choose your side
I’m drawing the line to divide
The real from the fakes
The grass from the snakes
You ain’t gonna make or break
I’m coming for you, no matter what’s at stake

Matthew Luppino - Only Human [Official Audio] Prod. tunnA Beatz

Matthew Luppino 2019-09-20 | Produced by: tunnA Beatz
Written and Performed by: Matthew Luppino

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Compulsive, obsessive
All these curses I've been blessed with
Keep me on the ledge, but emotion just gave me a death wish
Searching for my ghost but I'm left breathless
Fuck if I know where I'm headed, truth is I'm helpless

He said, it's getting harder to find people that understand
The voice of genius that plays inside these grains of sand
Tiny moments he holds within the palm of his hand
Contemplating life in past tense, there he goes off the rails again

Because this love don't feel right anymore
And I am once again forced to close another door
This pain is just something I can't ignore
I'm just a lost soul with trapped wings, trying to soar

And as my thoughts keep me company in this abandoned realm, my tears fall like acidic rain
Destroying everything in my path with dark, demonic pain
Dark demonic pain
Inside my brain
Help me Lord, I’m going insane

2nd verse:

Waiting for my mind to drift away
Like my body is at the gateway
Am I in hell? Could this be the day?
Could it all end in disarray?

Raw emotion weeping in pain
Rawest potion deep within my veins
Carry my burden oh father, I exclaim
Help me fight the darkness inside my brain

Been through this ring of fire once before
But now I have to cross the devil once more
Up against the wall, bagging on the floor
Help me stop this devilish game, please just restore
On the front lines, but I've always been this prisoner of war

I'm in hell, this could be my day
It could all end here, death is underway
Flesh turned to ash, my soul left to decay
Burning in the fires of hell, my mind is left to fade away

I'm a problem child drowning in a think tank
Releasing venomous ink but my page still remains blank

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
I've been passing different levels
Battling different devils

It’s like I'm still searching
For what's still lurking
And even though I've been working
I can't find the right wording

Time is passing, and I find myself asking
I keep looking to the old me, like that's where I'm supposed to be

Life was so different back then
I was engulfed in passion every time I held the pen
And when I created; I was in some sort of zen

Like within that moment
I was frozen, I was so focused
I was broken but I found enjoyment
I was an open poet
Then I lost the one component
That kept me growing

I keep looking back, not knowing
That I'm moving forward

And it's my duty to fulfill
Some sort of thrill
With my creations
But I'm in the midst of transition
I have to switch my position
While still trying to accomplish the same mission

2nd verse:
Do what you love, that's when you're the happiest
But what is the price of happiness?

If I could see some perspectives
Maybe if I take a second
And watch my reflection
But all I see is a bunch of different directions

See I've been buying time
Writing down another line
Like it's just another rhyme
Without following my divine design
So I go back to intertwine
Every sign
Redefine
The story line

But no matter how much you love your craft
Sometimes it just doesn't love you back

I'm so scared of the future and what it will hold
Fighting for a dream that might not unfold
I still believe in myself and my goals
Going the distance with all my heart and soul

Where I will go, I don’t know
But deep inside, I know I will grow

So as I write
These words tonight
Imma fight
So that my fire doesn’t lose its light

Matthew Luppino ft. Alex M. Brinkley - Overthinking (Official Audio)

Matthew Luppino 2018-10-25 | Written And Performed By: Matthew Luppino
Hook Written and Performed By: Alex M. Brinkley
Produced By: Tunna Beatz

Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
Maybe it’s my fault, maybe I did this
Go back and forth, what did I miss?
Go over it all again, let’s reminisce
You passed out in my bed, I gave you a kiss

On the forehead as I tucked you in the covers
Took me a few years to uncover
Your true colours

I’m digesting
What you did to me, it was plain disgusting
I was down and out and felt like nothing
I turned to you, was I wrong for trusting?

Or were you wrong for keeping me your secret?
Hiding me for no apparent reason
Running back to whoever was more convenient
Still believing that you were not cheating
When you were sleeping
With me and him in the same evening
You played with my heart, you messed with my feelings
You really are so deceiving
I guess the truth is finally leaking
Pinch me, I’m no longer dreaming
Now everyone knows you are the real demon

Hook:
i’m overthinking again these words inside of my head repeating, repeating i’m overthinking again these words inside of my head they never, they never end

2nd Verse:
I’m overthinking again, so I sit and ponder
You brought the worst out in me
You turned me into a monster
It’s like you had the power to alter
Anything I conjure

Every time you went behind his back
You suddenly had these awful panic attacks

Every time we had sex, you cried
No, you crawled into the corner and lied
Said you were done with him, all teary eyed
And every night you were by his side

But now I got you in the spotlight
Nowhere left to go
I got you locked in my sights
Time to expose this hoe
You’re a lying, cheating parasite
I hate you more than you will ever know
The clock strikes midnight
I’m pulling the trigger and even so
Maybe I’m wrong, maybe you’re right

Maybe I’m the one to blame
But remember, you were the one playing the game
Now I get to cock back and aim
So I take your picture out of the frame
And watch your name burst into flames

Hook:
i’m overthinking again these words inside of my head repeating, repeating i’m overthinking again these words inside of my head they never, they never end

Ink Stains - Matthew Luppino (prod. by Marzen Rouse)

Matthew Luppino 2018-10-08 | Written By: Matthew Luppino
Produced By: Marzen Rouse
Still By: Matthew Luppino

Ink Stains - (Official Lyrics)

First Verse:
I heard the weatherman say it’ll be cold, cold weather
You know as long as we are together
I don’t need no one other
No matter the rain and thunder

I will write the story-line
For my dearest valentine
Cause' baby you make the sun shine

I wanna wrap you up and kiss your lips
I wanna feel your fingertips

Marked on the calendar, September 26th,
2020
Palms will be sweaty
Knees will be weak, arms will be heavy
But on that day, I promise, I’ll be ready

From now until infinity
I want to make you feel wanted
Unconditionally
Just you and me eh

Second Verse:
Peanut and Hiccup forever and ever
To the moon and back, forever, together, yeah...

You're mine until the last star dies
In every galaxy all across the skies
So I vow to compromise
To always harmonize
All these butterflies
That I feel when I look in your eyes

Thank you God, I finally found my nemo
And I can’t wait to call her Mrs. Luppino

I vow to always love you each and every day
I vow to never walk away
Through sickness and in health
For better or for worse
I vow to always love you beyond this verse

Love is patient and love is kind
And in my mind
With every kiss, hands intertwined
Our stars have finally realigned

And when the ink fades,
I’ll be here for you, dancing in the rain
And these vows will always remain
I love you peanut, more than I can ever explain
These are my ink stains

Truly yours, yeah...

Every minute is like watching the sunrise
Baby you got me so hypnotized

I’ll love you until our hearts are empty
And on that day I will kiss you so gently
These are just my ink stains

Her Love - Matthew Luppino ft. Nate (Prod. RockIt Productions)

Matthew Luppino 2018-06-08 | This song is dedicated to Laura Anne Holman

Written By: Matthew Luppino
Produced By: RockIt Productions

Lyrics:
1st Verse:
Yeah babe I gotta say I love you lots
If I was Tony Stark you’d be my Pepper Pots
Butterflies in my stomach tied in knots

Whenever I look in her eyes
She’s got me hypnotized

Her love got me tongue tied
As she rides by my side

Love at the speed of sound
You’re my smile when I frown
You’re my rock when I’m feeling down

My entire world, everything that I need
The world spins at a different speed
I only need you to succeed
So take my hand and I’ll take the lead

You’re my angel sent to me
Sentimentally
And Potentially
My wife to be

We accidentally fell in love endlessly
And now I can’t believe we fell hard for our chemistry
You’re my peace and serenity
And now you’re my remedy
Every melody
Yeah I think we are meant to be

2nd Verse:
So I spent some nights in the hospital, waiting
Hating myself, contemplating
If I was good enough, depreciating
Trying to balance a depressed life while suffocating

Doing my best to cope, operating
With no sleep, I fought, still creating

I took a step forward, I was motivating
Trying to get stronger, by concentrating
And working hard to start communicating
And then one day I met you ice skating

Been through mountains I doubt you’d want to climb
I’ve written over 100,000 rhymes
And I’ve crossed over every line
Gone through depression about a million times

But I’m stronger now because I have your therapy
You carry my heart in every melody
Your love is my ecstasy
And honestly,

You brought me back to life
I can’t believe it, can’t explain it; I just know that you’ll one day be my future wife

3rd Verse:
I think I’ve had to say too many goodbyes
Living inside a mind that wants to die

Under a beautiful moon, I sat distressed
With my heart nearly beating out of my chest
I suffocated, trying to impress
But she understood I was not like the rest
I suffer panic attacks, especially when I’m stressed
So I confess
Even when I’m having one, I’m still trying my best
Yeah, she told me not to worry, because I’m blessed
And I guess
She’s right
I think back to that night
The night we first met
Back to all the times I could never forget

Her love makes me reminisce
Back to our first kiss
The feeling of complete bliss
But it’s her smile that I always miss

Her smile lights up my world
And no matter where I go, I know she’s my girl
She’s my girl eh
