lyrics

Turn on this radio
And you’ll find all the stylings of
All The demons that I’ve trapped inside.
They’re cursed to sing my verse
as long as this whole universe
Keeps flinging its debris right at me.
But heed this warning,
That you’ll will be supporting a
Rusted pipe dream polished to shine bright.
For lack of better words:
Another Swan song for the birds
To pick apart if it even makes the charts.

Im a slave static waves.
Picking strings and digging my own grave.
Hear the hymns of my demise.
Dance and sing until the sunrise.

This hearts a metronome.
I got One finger on the pulse
And a trigger happy one upon this gun.
Can’t afford to miss a note
Or Else I’ll have to write my own
And bid farewell to everything I dwell upon
This skeleton is held in tact but so abstract
From how I used to be but nobody can see
The cracks upon my mask.
The wear and tear with no repair.
So here I go; singing what I sow.
