about

This is a song about my tendency to blame other things and other people for my problems instead of working on them.

lyrics

I wish that I didn't keep coming back here but I
Feel a pull and I can't quite fight it
It's like I'm telling myself to walk into an open flame and I
Kind of want to try it

We don't walk away and we don't get to run
Throw caution to the wind before everything is done
We don't get a second chance, we don't forgive or forget
But if you're game then I'm willing to pretend

I hate the world, it made me sick
Rip my diary to bits
My bed of pearls rots to dust
All these colours to turn to rust

I wish that I didn't keep coming back here but I
Wanna pretend that it might be healthy
It's like I'm telling myself to throw everything away
I don't want to go, but I don't want to stay

We don't walk away and we don't get to run
You get too used to the moon and you don't want to feel the sun
We don't give a second chance, we don't forgive or forget
Letting go is something else but I can't speak to that

I hate the world, it made me sick
It seeps under the fabric
Of who we are, get so far
Burn in blazes, short-lived stars

And we're always awake, we're always awake
We're not all the same, but we're always the same way

I hate the world, it made me sick
All these good things turn to shit
I never learn, why start now?
I always bounce back somehow
