A Love Story

I held my hand out so long
reaching and reaching for her
but i still don't know where you are
an idea i came up with
serves the purpose of breaking myself
my mind searching for a lie
and i still don't know where you are
but i'm still searching so far

Love Is Tough

You can only love so many people
who don't love you back
And there's only so much love
To go around
And I never wanna lie to you
But I don't wanna tell the truth
And i can't believe I messed this up
All I had to do was love
And I know you Will tell me to enjoy
But I know I have no idea how
My emotions are completely volatile
fragile breaking forming changing shifting
its a dangerous thing for me to love
because it comes so naturally
And I know you will confess your love to me
But please know I will always say you too

Only ever had fun when we were together
course i didn't think of that til we were apart
so lets leave the logic to math
and sit here for forever
took you out again admitting it wasn't very smart
maybe I didn't fight for it
Maybe I let our love die
maybe there weren't any options
maybe I still wanna have your hand in mind
well the irony is certainly not lost on me
and there's no fucking way we could stay entwined
it's so hard for me to accept that
when i can't see how my love for you
could ever really decline
maybe I didn't fight for it
Maybe I let our love die
maybe there weren't any options
maybe I still wanna have your hand in mind
I'm getting there
Or back there to when I accepted this
I thought I was perfect I thought I accepted this
but obviously i was wrong
but I'll be there soon, or rather back there
maybe I didn't fight for it
Maybe I let our love die
maybe there weren't any options
maybe I still wanna have your hand in mind
Maybe I can't accept this maybe I'm wrong
maybe I still love you
maybe there's no way to make this work
but i'm gonna try it anyway

Best Friends
01:25

I think I have the coolest friends in the world
And I think I'm a cool friend too
I think I like hanging out with you
And I think you like hanging out with me
I think I know the coolest people around
And i think I'm pretty sweet too
I think these people really know my name
And maybe a few facts to go along with it
I think I'll stick with this a while
With these people that really get me
I think I really like this style
Call it a trend, yeah we'll see
I think this is the coolest place in the world
It's exactly where I wanna be
I think this is the raddest life there is
And everyone else must be doing it wrong
I know for a fact that you're my best friend
That's why I smile when we talk
I know for sure we could talk forever
And we really might as well

Officially Lonely

I Don't wanna be alone anymore
i'm done with the concept the entire idea
i'm throwing it out the door
i haven't felt this way in so many years
i can't change the circumstance, it's what I truly fear
Never thought i'd be the one to call myself lonely
can't handle this emotion i gave my mind to her
i'm totally useless a whiney little baby
i don't know what to do to cry or just punch my wall til i bleed
I don't wanna feel this way ever again
My brain is destroyed i'm at my wits' end
i just wanna scream in your face
scream how i'm worth your time i swear that i'm fun and you didn't break my head

Cute Girl Song
01:33
|
|||
|
I've been thinking a lot about how I'll never make you happy
And how the brain cells you're working with are nothing like the ones that
I ignore everything my gut said and went up and talked to you instead
Maybe that was a bad idea cause I don't think I've slept since
Suck it up and talk to her for once
Maybe this time it'll go better
Cut short, ask for her number
Maybe things will work now ever since you met her
Yeah I think she's the prettiest girl in the world
Just thinking about her makes me smile
But that terrible horrible sinking feeling in my stomach is a complete and total sucky yucky sensation to have

Failing

I wanna be worth your time
Without that intention being known
I don't wanna feel this way
BUt I wanna be appreciated
gorwing more and more uncomfortable with myself
I know that no one can solve that
don't wanna caer about anything that's cool
trying to stay honest with myself
it's not working
trying to remember what i believed in
two years ago
telling myself that there's nothing wrong with me, lying at it's best
I'm a weirdo with nothing worth while just another whiney teen
i can't talk i have nothing in common
i really think i'm the lamest kid around
i'm too old to have feelings like this
but they keep surfacing
trying to get over myself
never happens
Trying to believe that i matter
I know I don't

There's a place that I go, to get told i suck, to get told i'm fucked
to get told i'm bad, to make my parents mad
there's a place that i go, they yell in my face, pretend to own space
they think they know me, they think that i'm not free
this is not what i'm meant to do
I can't help but disappoint you
my teachers think i'm just lazy
but i'm not i've got better things to do
there's a place that i go, where no one knows me, where no one can see, where no one sees that everything here is wrong
this is not what i'm meant to do
I can't help but disappoint you
my teachers think i'm just lazy
but i'm not i've got better SHIT to do

Portland shoegaze that plays, as the best representatives of the genre do, with huge, hollow atmosphere against intimate observations.

The songs on “Bruma” feel impossibly still—rising mists of piano and electronics that hover like ghosts.

Crawling From The Wreckage

The music of Reading group Chaos Emeralds feels like it weighs megatons, with its thick rivers of distorted guitar and gluey textures.
