Remember when you weren't as lost?
Remember when all was gold?
Remember when you climbed all the trees?
And people weren't as bold?
Time is your enemy
But it's hard to hate what's unknown
Those who don't believe in you
Should be dropped like a cold stone
People change and so does time
It's sad to see you go
But all in all, things look hopeful
For all of us in this place we call home

Summer (In My Tree)

Look at me
In my tree
Feeling confident
Feeling free
If I fall
And break my crown
Put me in
The lost and found
Why does summer always feel so weird?
And why does it always tend to disappear?
Look at me
In my tree
Feeling useless
Can't you see
If I soar
Pull me down
Bring me closer
To the ground
Why does summer always feel so weird?
And why does it always tend to disappear?
Look at me
In my tree
Feeling confident
Feeling free

Why does the sun still shine on me?
This remains a mystery
Millions of places it could be
And yet it chooses to find me
I don't want the light to be gone
But I can't wait until dawn
And they say
Don't stare
At the sun
Why do the stars still shine on me?
This remains a mystery
Millions of places I could never be
And yet they still choose to find me
I don't want the light to be gone
But I can't wait until dawn
And they say
Don't stare
At the sun

I never knew that I could feel this way
I found and lost you all in the same day
I won't be long, I won't be long at all
Spring and Summer turned into Fall
And when they say time heals all wounds
Nothing is farther from the truth
And as much as I wanted to
I was unable to love you
I never knew that I could feel this way
I found and met you once again today
But to my quick surprise I realized
That some things are meant to be left behind
And when they say time heals all wounds
Nothing is closer to the truth
And as much as I wanted to
I was unable to love you
And I know there's no happy ending
But there's still time for healing

VERSE 1:
Watching the sunset
Psychedelic sort of palette
We spend all our time connecting the dots
But we don’t know what the picture is going to turn out to be
Nostalgia glasses on
We aren’t exactly paragons
Carry the weight and see the results
Of mistakes that were made to protect society
CHORUS:
All those things I could’ve done but
Instead of reflecting I just tried to forget
All those things I should've done
I know I will always regret
VERSE 2:
Watching the clouds go by
Mankind has never learned to fly
The beginning of the year we are born anew
But we die in winter no matter what we do
Oh sweet maiden by the sea
Don’t drown in front of me
‘Cause the tide’s coming in and it’s too late to save you
And I feel so hopeless when you’re far away from me
CHORUS [x2]:
All those things I could’ve done but
Instead of reflecting I just tried to forget
All those things I should’ve done
I know I will always regret

Sing with me to your grave so I can sleep
When you cross the river make sure you leap
Face first into the water cold makes heat
Find a spot make sure you dig very deep

When life was brand new
; things to get used to
Now there's too much time
to spend in the unwind
Take me back to then
, when I didn't have a clue
Although they were there
, at least I wasn't tinted blue
When life made no sense,
I had my innocence
Now I've lost balance, and most of my essence
Take me back to then
, when I didn't have a clue
Although they were there
, at least I wasn't tinted blue

Her laugh makes me feel warm
; eyes as bright as a lightning storm
But I can't win versus a swarm, and for that reason I feel so torn
I want to show her my world,
the world that made me
,
but I know that will never be
I think our lives were meant to meet, but not to develop romantically,
And I guess that's okay with me
, as long as she doesn't set me free
I want to show her my world,
the world that made me
,
but I know that will never be

Know Your Worth
You Are Something
Anything That You Can Imagine Or See Or Any Goal That You May Be Faced With Can Be Achieved
You Can Be Happy And
Happiness Is An Achievable State Of Mind, Thinking Happiness And Positivity
But To Get There You Really Do Have To Look At Yourself And Reflect On The Things That Have Possibly Hurt You In The Past, and To Forgive
The Past Does Not Control You
Just Being Who You Are And Not Being Ashamed Of That Fact Of The Weird Things You Do Or The Certain Way You Do Things Or Having A Certain Viewpoint On Things, That’s When You’ll Really Start To Find Yourself
Anxiety In Plain Words Is That Everything You Do You Think Is The Wrong Thing, And What You Need To Realize Is That No One Actually-People Care About You and Obviously The People That You Love Really Care About You, But Everyone’s Kinda Doing Their One Thing So-
My Personal Philosophy Is That You Have A Key, And There Are Doors Everywhere, But You Can’t Open Any Doors Unless You Walk Up To Them And Put The Key In The Hole
You Just Have To, Fucking Go After What You Want

Could've happened
Should've been
Don't know where
Or know when
Don't worry
We'll meet again
Don't forgot about me
I'm looking forward to then
Would've said
Might've tried
Don't know how
Or know why
Don't worry
We'll meet again
Don't forgot about me
I'm looking forward to then

Manoli Despines Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
My name is Manoli and I use an OP-1, miniKORG-37, Ableton Live 9/Logic Pro X, and a guitar to make music. I haven't made music in a long time because of my lack of free time and how much I feel like I need to drastically improve as a musician, so I'm on a bit of hiatus, but I promise I'll be back sometime soon. Feel free to follow me on the accounts listed below, where I am much more active. ... more
Manoli Despines recommends:
My good friend Alex and his two friends make really awesome music and they deserve way more recognition. Check their stuff out, you will not regret it.

Tree Cover Records is responsible for making and selling my physical releases (cassettes/CDs), and I can't thank them enough. Their music is super cool too, check 'em out.
