about

a song about growing up and generally internal conflict. definitely one of my favorite songs on this ep.

lyrics

i go lay down
my fatigue overcoming my body
am i sleep-deprived?
so i take in some caffeine
to cater my senses
getting set into line

i feel i've fallen a victim
of being controlled
by the world at ease
the tasks i have to complete
they're overwhelming (they're)
they're overwhelming me

when we leave
where do we go?
the thought scares me
i try to hide my face
'cause my confidence isn't in the brightest place
i hate myself

but i say

i'll make a comeback
i swear i'll come back

tie the laces to my soul
'cause i can't stay here anymore
i combat the thoughts with my lies
let me know when i'm alright

tug of war
between morality, what's right
and my mind
nothing to see here in sight

but i will try to
suppress myself to keep quiet
and not let others face
the shivering lights in my eyes rage

white
they glow
and it's gone
they glow
and it's gone
and it's gone
and i'm gone

i wrote this song back in early 2020, way before i had even heard the numbered albums and i found out that i ripped off the riff from around by car seat headrest

im sorry
