Ti Adoro
02:26
|
|||
|
let's dance all night and sleep all day
cause this love is like a canvas and our hearts are like the pain
and every colour comes alive, even when the night feels dead
you give clarity and purpouse to the monkey in my head
and i have
never never ever hoped this hard
before you kissed me in the light of the dark
it was cold that night but your jacket was warm
and then you fucked me like i've never been fucked before
and lets dance all night and sleep all day
cause this love has got me feeling this particular way
in the brightest of the reds and the deepest of the blues
i always dream in technicolor when i'm dreaming of you
and so i'm singing this song for the new love that i've found
and i hope by the time you hear this that we're still kicking 'round
but if nothing became, or we're just pals the same
then i'll still hope that you're as happy as the soil when it rains
and when you're driving with this CD on
and whoever's in the car happens to hear this lil song
you can tell 'em you're the one for whom i wrote this one
cause ti adoro, they'll say aww, oh you know you're the one i adore
oh ti adoro, they'll say aww, oh you know you're the one i adore

i'm so sick
and you're so amazin'
and i'm so hurt
that i don't know what to say
won't you come my way
won't you stay, yeah stay
cause i'm so sick of wasting away
so won't you come, come and stay
i'm so tired
and you're so pretty as always
and i'm so sick of being a child
i forgot what it's like to be myself
won't you come my way
won't you stay, yeah stay
and i'm so sick of being this way
so won't you come and waste away
won't you come my way
cause i've been dying to make you stay
i'm so sick of being this way
so won't you come and waste away

Folder of Recordings
03:05
|
|||
|
you were a folder of recordings on
my laptop and then you were gone
and now i'm left with hardly any space
for any other one
a folder filled with crying guitars
where everything stayed just how it was
and the sorry voice of a shadow of a guy
that you once thought was kinda alright
a long long time ago
a long long time ago
a long long time ago
a long long time ago
a long long time ago
a long long time ago
a long long time ago

Undress
02:47
|
|||
|
and everyone's watching me undress
and inside my mind they can see how i'm feeling
i wish i could just wear a summer dress
or something equally pretty, or a little more revealing
this isn't the best hook that i've ever written
but my serotonin's never felt so ommited
day six of effexor and i still wanna die
but i'm starting to feel like myself for the first time
in a long time
and i'm changing meds, yeah i'm changing meds and getting brain zaps
all through my head
and there's no escaping the reality
had that dream again
the one where i cry about the fact that i'll die
and ideate suicide
as much as it's tempting i've only one life
this isn't the best hook that i've ever written
but my serotonin's never felt so ommited
day six on effexor and i still wanna die
but i'm starting to feel like myself for the first time
in a long time
i'm buying cigarettes
i'm buying cigarettes and i'm smiling politely
to the cashier
and there's no escaping the impending fear
it's happening again
cut out an ingrown nail
somewhere between self harm and self care
and everyone's watching me confess

Beginning (Voice Memo)
04:20
|
|||
|
your riding in just to be going away
is short circuiting everything i wanted to say
so i won't open my mouth cause i've forgotten how to speak
i'll start to remember, and it'll come back to me
i played piano in your living room
that murder dream song by sun kil moon
i must've covered it well cause then you started to cry
but you knew something i didn't, i didn't know at the time
your sudden announcement of wanting a change
made it so hard to articulate
but now i'm happy to be singing cause i've remembered how to breathe
and now it's plus one friend and all the freedom i need
i played piano in your living room
that murder dream song by sun kil moon
i must've covered it well cause then you started to cry
but you knew something i didn't, i didn't know at the time
you had
other
plans
i guess it happens sometimes
you were
honest
i gave you that much and i didn't even cry
my eyes
lit up
when you said that you still wanted to be friends
cause this feels more like a beginning
than an end
i played piano in your living room
that murder dream song by sun kil moon
i must've covered it well cause then you started to cry
but you knew something i didn't, i didn't know at the time

Betterer
02:53
|
|||
|
autumn's coming and the snow will fall
where are you now
cause i am waiting for something to happen
where are you now
if you wake up
and wait
for it to be better
it'll be betterer
you're running away from something you have
to say my dear
it's been on the tip of my tongue
for forever my dear
if you wake up
and wait
for it to be better
it'll be betterer

The Moment
04:18
|
|||
|
i should live in the moment
i should dream of the ocean air
i should live each moment
without a single care
but it's hard
it's hard when you're not here
so when you're away
i am frozen in fear
i should live in the moment
i should breathe without a care
i should leave behind
my every fear
but it's easier
easier, when it's with you
so when you're away
i don't know what to do
is it a crime to lose a shred of optimism
in the face of sheer emotional oblivion
a crime to lose a shred of optimism
in the face of sheer emotional oblivion
oblivion

we are both in hypesquad balance
this is something i would've cried about
last year, cause in my head it represented that we fit together
like such great heights playing on the speakers
this is something that i would've cried about last year
cause in my head
i used to think we would fit together
but now i apologise
cause in your head i was always a friend
and this year i can only try
to just be better than every other version of me
and this year i can only try
to just be better than every other version of me
and this year i can only try
to just be better than every other version of me
this year i can only try
to just be better than every other version of me
