hide ur problems
til they’re at the bottom
til they feel common
til you’ve forgot them
getting in sucked in
forget yourself again
lose all your friends
don’t make amends
take it slow
feel alone
turn your weakness
into electric sickness
the more i take
the less i grow
the more i learn the less i know
going down down down
i’ll be around
but only for myself
for no one else
take it slow
feel alone
turn your weakness
into electric sickness

Where in the World
06:11
|

i find
comfort
in the little things
i don’t mind
if you think
i’m not worth anything
countless words
empty
full of
infinity
where in the
world
is my
serenity?
i was summoned by the ruin
and i fell into it
the feeling’s gone
when put into words
where in the world

Unpacking my Feelings
03:34
|

|
it’s a quiet feeling
welling up
inside of
my chest
not considerate
of my intentions
i’m still dreamin
i confess
repeatin
the same
memories
in my head
i’m stuck
in a rut
i’m stuck
in what you said

i can’t sleep
havin’ bad dreams
don’t ask me
what they mean
don’t ask me
if i’m happy
what does it mean
to be happy?
i can’t sleep
having bad dreams
don’t ask me
what they mean

Let it Go

i didn’t notice
the state i’m in
makin an ugly face
at all my friends
i think i’m smilin
can you tell it’s fake
i think it’s breakin
can’t communicate
losin my energy
losin’ my gentle side
can i go easy on myself
i want to try
too much in my dreams
when i close my eyes
it won’t let me rest
it won’t let me cry
how can i let it go
the anger and the pain
how can i let it go
and begin again
how can i let it go
how can i let it go
how can i let it go
how can i let it go
how can i let it go
how can i let it go
how can i let it go
how can i let it go

Black Rainbow

the black rainbow drags me to the surface
where was i
what was i doing
i may never know
but each time i get too close
it spits me out again
sisyphus drowning in a kiddie pool
i know why i’m here
i’m trying to test my limits
i’m trying to see what feels right
i’m trying to transform
will my voice sound like this next time we meet?
will i make it past the black rainbow?
my dreams since i was 10 have been the same
only now am i seeing they are connected to the part of the same world that makes up me
where do i hold my fear?
i can feel it when i close my eyes
but when i’m awake it obliterates me
but the black rainbow doesn’t disappear
it’s not about destruction
it’s about acceptance
if i can’t accept the black rainbow
then what am i even left with
measuring things measuring feelings
how do we become one with our reality knowing the present will become the past
and that everyday life is a treasure
even if the moment
might go bad
a gentle thought
i’m getting distracted
and i’m back at the poool
waiting for the rainbow to appear
who am i even talking to
who am i even
uncomfortable
what’s who i am
disconnected
feeling small
don’t notice at all
myself in the mirror is just a physical reflection
negative space is just another dimension

i don’t think
i have the time
do it for me
i need to eat
i’m a ruin
i’ll get through it
eventually
it’s okay if it’s hard
what do i want
can i be upfront
it’s way too much
i get caught up
but it’s only
a memory
i won’t let
it get that far
believe in me
white as a sheet
i’ll see it through
drop the excuse
eventually
cause it’s worth somethin’
to me
i’m worth somethin’
i need
to feel somethin’
a seed
to grow somethin’
a dream
