[verse1] i know nobody's really coming please stop lying[line] to me it's all getting so tiring they've abandoned me, they've tortured me don't expect for me to suddenly just trust you you act like everything's so easy "all you need's a friend" but nobody is asking just leave me alone, so i can talk to ghosts you've shown me they are all who listen [prechor1] is it so hard to listen to somebody else for once is it so hard to forget and let bygones be bygones god knows i'm past the point of no return i'm not your pet i'm not your slave just let me burn [chor] but you insist that i just listen and take everything in that you've said a thousand times before and more did you really think that i would participate and play [verse2] i would leave everything so quiet and my room so dark nobody occupied it not that i could do anything to change afterall, everybody told me "you must be motherfuckin homeless with how shit you look, no wonder you're so hopeless you are not human, not in our eyes anymore" [prechor 2] yet after everything i've explained time and time before stopped ignoring things, opened up bout the blood on the floor after e-ve-ry single plead for help you ask for my advice instead and celebrate how you're well [chorus 2] well you insist that i just listen and take everything in that you've said to hundreds of people before how do you possibly think i would participate and play

[verse 1] energy drinks and dxm the only things that let me talk to my friends i know it is a bad habit but it's either this or i slit my wrists i'd die before i let this go the mania makes me feel like a heroine in my mind there must be black holes i'm so scared to die, but death holds me close [verse 2] it is all my fault what i got myself into there is nothing you could possibly do to assure me it was out of my hands no, i'll carry this burden to the end if i was never born then i bet the world would be so much more and if i could just be ignored i bet so many more people would be happier [verse 3] staring at all the things i wrote on the wall to remind myself how not to fall off the past few years have been a slow crawl to the pit in the ground where i'll rot no-one ever seems to help me it all seems like it's me they're testing it might be crazy, what i'm thinking maybe i'm just doing this to myself purposefully [verse 4] deciding to keep to myself it was the best idea, least i've felt there's too much chemicals inside me on the bright side, my brain could stop working i've taught myself to enjoy the paranoia don't think it's healthy, but it's better than being scared all of the fuckin time plus it makes me cooler, at least in my mind

[v1] honestly i preffered depression at least then my body wasn't in delusion it was only my mind, but now it always feels like i got way too high maybe i shouldn't have done that every single day for an entire year of my fuckin life i ask all these questions but avoid that maybe that's the reason behind the decline [v2] this is the beginning of the motherfuckin end saying "sayonara" to all of my... friends i've been steadily sinking for a long time now lookin up, nobody pulls me out if i asked for help, would that be too "attention horny" or what cuz honestly i can't tell the difference between what's self-help and what IS just fucked up [v3] they say i need to get help but you know what? i've had enough of it had enough therapists tryna help me on this this isn't something that can just fixed NO, THIS IS SOME LIFE-LONG THING medication won't stop me from walking in the rain no, no, i don't need help, all that i need is friends to get me through hell I CAN DO THIS ALL ON MY OWN DON'T NEED NOBODY TRYNA KICK ME FROM MY THRONE JUST THROW ME BONE, KICK ME OUTTA HOME I DON'T KNOW HOW I'LL GO BUT I'LL GO AND I'LL SHOW YOU "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?" I GOT MY REASONS "SURE THAT YOU GOT THIS?" I'VE LEARNED TO LIVE IN A CONSTANT FLOWIN MOTION WHERE I DON'T NEED STABILITY, I'M MY OWN FOUNDATION [CHORUS] I LIVE OFF RAW EMOTION, MAYBE MIND WILL HIDE WHAT'S ON INSIDE I LIVE OFF FEAR AND IMPULSION AND I AM FEARING MY OWN LIFE [BRIDGE] I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING NOR'LL I THROUGH THIS WETHER OR NOT IT'S ALIVE OVERFLOWIN EMOTIONS, I'VE RODE THE OCEAN AND ONLY ONCE DID I DIE [CHORUS] I LIVE OFF RAW EMOTION, MAYBE MIND WILL HIDE WHAT'S ON INSIDE I LIVE OFF FEAR AND IMPULSION AND I AM FEARING MY OWN LIFE PLEASE HIDE

sanity 04:08
what's become of me my reality is unwinding my sanity dark and shadowed creatures who only show when my eyes are closed faces in every clock that watch me no matter where i go firey apocalyptic inferno scenario deforestation of family trees due to cause unknown what's become of me my reality is slowly sinking into fatality oh clouded mind, clouds cover mines, can't find the life i left behind time and time, time passes by, timed blind by knives and chimes til five lobotomized by the kind who used to comfort and be kind figured i might die i tried to hide but life stabs from behind ah, the mess i got into ah, s'inevitable to ah, and deeper the cracks go ah, what concept is unknown ah ah, you never gave me a choice, oh well ah, all of my thoughts in a jumbled hell now all, all that resides is[in?] an empty shell and ah, i never learned, never will, oh well

about

im a sneaky bastard muwehehehe... 2021's been a crazy year for music, so here's something for ya. way more cohesive & vocal-driven than any of my previous shit. but i feel good about this. i think i can now calm down about "making everything sound good," i'll just have fun with it from now on.

lyrics my be a bit heavy, this was all written at a very low time for me mentally. i hope this album can be as much therapy to somebody as it was for me.
