I'm scared to speak
So I wrote this song
With no words
(Chorus)
I don't wanna be
Just another shitty Lofi Band
I wan't validation
Without relation
Too scared to sing
So I wrote this song
With no words
I stole this sound
I stole this sound
So you might like me
So you would like me
I'm scared to speak
I'm scared to speak
So I wrote this song
With no words

Lilacs
01:25

Brains like con artists
Convincing us this will never end
But Spring is here again
Burlap sacks and paper backs
Blows by with melancholy haze
Like Lilacs on warm spring days
This monotony is wearing on me
And your falling back to apathy
But we have the memories
I have a memory of you laying next to me
Our mouths don’t say anything you’re
breath feels hot and wet to me
I’m smelling your sweat and shampoo
That smell that was so uniquely you
Burlap sacks and paper backs
Blows by with melancholy haze
I thought I loved you but I realize it was just a phase

Lonely Monotony
01:52
|
|||
Slog through another day
Without speaking to anyone
When I get home you ask me
If I am OK
Tell me I've been looking stressed
Tell me I should take a break
I bet that's easy to say
When you've never worked a day
And you got two years at least
Without any
responsibilities
I say thanks for the worry
I say I'm good as can be
But that's a lie
I'm terrified
And I want to die
Every single time
I see your stupid
fucking
face
So I give you some space
Keep on running my rat race
It's not my responsibility
To take care of anyone
except for me

October

Every time I see your car my stomach drops
When I lay down my mind runs wild
It's so hard when I close my eyes
I toss and turn and sweat all night
I've been having the guiltiest dreams
Of Starving mites eating the fruit off trees
They taught me about the birds and the bees
Then I floated up into the sky
You tried your best not to cry
I saw my cousin in the front yard drinking
Ive been praying but I'm not sure I believe
Everyone keeps checking in on me
And Sometimes I wake up crying
Im scared everyone around me is dying
Maybe that's why I look so tired all the time
The other day I saw your car drive down my road
The other day you saw me on the street
I hadn't slept in a day or three
And my friends have been worried about me
But I'm a lot better than I've been
I hardly eat
I hardly sleep
I just stay inside killing time
Everything is speeding up
I just want to slow down
If this is growing up
I just want to
There was a man made out of glass
The cat screams at me
It was getting hard to breath
I was praying for reprieve
What once made me feel so free
In October everything started changing
A week later your sisters face became yours
But your voice stayed the same
Every year I feel the holidays changing
Sometimes I’d forget your name
It's been getting harder to sleep
I keep having these guilty dreams
Last night I wandered through the hallway feeling like a creep

Reverse Wheel of Fortune
01:34
|

I shouldn’t be doing this
But I can’t resist
I should block your number
But then who would I text when it’s late and I’m under
The covers staring at a screen
Waiting for you to say another funny thing
So I can respond with something dumb and sappy
And maybe make you happy
God damn this town
There’s nothing to do but drink and smoke
The bowling alley costs too much
And the movie theater is an hours by car
Not like yours could even get us that far
God damn this place
And god damn your face
You took something from me that I can’t replace

Autumn Nights

Dopamine
seratonin
And caffeine
Coursing through your brain
All your worries slain
All your feelings fained
And you’re feeling faint
But you’re wide awake
The night air tastes crisp on my tongue
A reminder of far away nights
When you were young
Yeah!
*Instrumental*
Dopamine
seratonin
And nicotine
Coursing through your brain
All your worries slain
All your feelings fained
All those nights far away
Dawning of today
When you look in the mirror you’ve changed
But the circles under your eyes won’t go away
You’re stained
*Instrumental*
Dopamine
seratonin
And caffeine
Coursing through your brain
All your worries slain
All your feelings fained
And you’re feeling faint
But you’re wide awake
You’re hands no longer shake
And your bodies free from aches
You’ve changed
But it’s gonna take some time
For all the pain and lies to heal

Lion in the Wall
05:39
|
|||
The sun comes crashing down
We are laying on the ground
Time keeps marching on
Bring us towards the dawn
Children dancing all around
Too scared to make a sound
Take my mind away
Promise me you'll stay
I can't understand
How this ship will ever land
Stop drop and roll
I am losing all control
Round and round and round we go
Round and round and round we go
Round and round we go
Round and round we go
You’re working through my brain
I feel like I’m going insane
There’s a lion in my wall
Who doesn’t speak at all
Who doesn’t speak at all

I didn't clean for a month
I let my food rot on the table
I didn't clean for a month
Waited till i was good and able
I burned the books you bought me
I burned the books you bought me
I forgot all the things you taught me
I forgot all the things you taught me
I don't want to leave today
I don't want to leave today
And there is nothing you can say
So why not just say nothing
I let my food rot on the table
I didn't clean for a month
Waited till i was good and able
I watched a documentary today
And drank some coffee
I watched a documentary today
And drank some coffee
I burned the books you bought me
I burned the books you bought me
I forgot all the words you taught me
I forgot all the words you taught me
I watched a documentary today
About a man who drank some coffee

Haunted dreams
Can't get to sleep
I can't do anything
I can't do anything
(Chorus)
Every day
Didn't know what to say
I let it happen
Every day
I drift away
I let it happen
I let it happen
(Verse)
Haunted me
Promise that I can't keep
I can't do everything
I can't be anything
(Chorus)
Every day
Didn't know what to say
I let it happen
Every day
I drift away
I let it happen
I let it happen
(Verse)
Let it be
Words you said to me
I try to speak
But I can't say anything
(Last chorus)
Every day
Didn't know what to say
I let it happen
Every day
I drift away
I let it happen
I let it happen
I know we're through
Still dream of you
I don't know why it happens
I don't know why it happens
