about

A song we recorded in May of 2017 that we are stoked to share with everyone
The song is about self-hate, self-harm and dealing with the effects of becoming dependent on someone and then them no longer being in your life

lyrics

Stumble through the doorway
Breath smelling of cigarettes and coffee
The raindrops on my window the sound always soothed me
Comforting and safe

My bed sheets are tattered they reek of perfume
They remind me of you
My bed was a safe place but now it's wrong

I'll sleep on the carpet it scratches my skin
Cause it's better than lying in my bed alone again
I need you i'm not right my safe place is haunted
I'm stuck in my mind

Close my curtains call it quits I look at my forearm and I feel sick
"Why'd I do this?" I ask
I hate myself
Who's gonna love me if I don't love myself?

One step forward, two steps back
