Try and tell me that there’s anything better than the moment I’m about to describe
2am
You roll over with your mouth feeling dry
Then you see it
Take a sip
Get this feeling inside
It’s the most amazing you’ve ever tasted
No lie
I’ve been letting moments slip
Fallen by the way(side)
I don’t let myself indulge in this pleasure of life
Instead I stay cooped up in my own prison of time
Created a whole world where I just simply get by
Maybe this is my condition
I know true eye to eye
The third is the most important when you speak of my kind
Wonder if I’m underestimating truth in disguise
Think that I control the future in the blink of an
I try to see all of your beauty just as I do my own
But I’m always tripping over falsified thrones
Learning love is really simple if you’re all on your own
Knowing everything’s connected so I’m never alone
But I’m always alone
Even when I’m not
Stuck on checking my phone
Like it’s all I’ve got
And I know to do better
Endeavour
Whatever
I’m clever but never give myself the time of day
Feel like I’m going ‘round in circles every day
Feeling a kind of way
I can’t explain the pain
Cos it makes no sense to me
I didn’t ask to be born
I fucking demanded it
Maybe I planned for this
Maybe I’m full of shit
I can’t decipher it
Maybe it’s time to quit
I think I’m done with this
