Another day, another fake sunrise
Coffee burns, the TV lies
Bills and dreams in the same old pile
The boss says, “Smile,” I fake a smile
The city hums in monotone
I hum along just to feel at home
The mirror laughs, I laugh back too
Guess that’s all there’s left to do
If life’s a joke, I’m the punchline now
Still standing here, don’t ask me how
I lost my faith, but kept my sound
Laugh it off, or I’ll break down
The traffic sings in dissonance
A thousand horns, no common sense
Friends grow up, they fade away
Like stickers on a subway train
I used to dream of saving grace
Now I’m just saving face
Love’s a war, but peace is worse
A twisted line in a second verse
If pain’s a stage, I’ll steal the show
Fake the grin they’ll never know
I drink my hope straight from the can
Still laughing like a broken man
Laugh it off, before it breaks you
Cry too long, the world will take you
Turn the static into song
We’ll be wrong, but loud and strong
Every scar, a worn-out line
Proof that we’re still half-alive
Raise your voice, forget the cost
We laugh the loudest when we’re lost
Old guitars and unpaid rent
My youth was loud, now slightly bent
They say grow up, they say sit still
But I still chase the cheap-thrill will
The streets are cold, but the night feels kind
When the noise and heart align
If this is hell, then plug me in
Let the feedback drown the sin
If time’s a thief, then let it steal
The ache, the truth, the way we feel
We’re not fine, but that’s our art
A broken laugh, a beating heart
Laugh it off, before it breaks you
Cry too long, the world will take you
Turn the static into song
We’ll be wrong, but loud and strong
Every scar, a worn-out line
Proof that we’re still half-alive
Raise your voice, forget the cost
We laugh the loudest when we’re lost
They told us to behave, we never did
They sold the cure, we closed the lid
If freedom’s priced, we can’t afford—
So sing it loud, we’ll cut the chord
Laugh it off, we’re born to lose
But losers dance with better moves
Every tear’s a note in time
Every failure still can shine
We’re the noise they can’t erase
The grin beneath a weathered face
Turn it up, don’t turn it down
We’re the joke that shakes the town
Laugh it off, before it breaks you
Cry too long, the world will take you
Turn the static into song
We’ll be wrong, but loud and strong
Every scar, a worn-out line
Proof that we’re still half-alive
Raise your voice, forget the cost
We laugh the loudest when we’re lost
Laugh it off, before it breaks you
Cry too long, the world will take you
Turn the static into song
We’ll be wrong, but loud and strong
Every scar, a worn-out line
Proof that we’re still half-alive
Raise your voice, forget the cost
We laugh the loudest when we’re lost

"Write" marks a new beginning for Nostalight9 -
a story of wind, light, and the moments we keep writing to stay alive.
A cinematic blend of ska, emo, and melodic punk,
each of the nine tracks carries warmth, speed, and emotional depth.
From "Falcon" and "Graffiti of the Wind" to "Copperpot's Map",
this album represents the band's present - the sound of their heartbeat today.
"Write" is a prayer for creation,
a sonic diary that continues to echo through light and time.
