lyrics

I just wanted to be recognised as a part of your life, and changing your life like you changed mine. I feel so unprotected, I’m feeling so neglected.

Wasting my nights feeling sick inside, and all the while I bide my time, for this life I accepted, I don’t know how to end it.

Cos this means more to me than you can see, you changed my personality. Once fine now I’m conflicted, no escape now I’m in it.

These knots inside get buried alive, but on the surface “I feel fine”. This black hole I created, I drown beneath these pages

Lately I’ve been complaining and I don’t have a resolution.

All this time I, was under the impression I was doing right by you and me and everything between. I was digging deeper graves and I couldn’t see it.

Answers were right here all along, my mind is weak my pen is strong.

The answers I looked for, the times I stayed up all night like a fool for. All the worry, the sickness, the sadness, swear I could change it if I reach out and grab this. But I won’t, no I won’t. Cos all this suffering it must be all my fault.
This is love, this is love, a heavy hand sent down to crush you from above.

This is love.

one of the best and most excellent midwest emo record there is! amazingly well mixed for midwest emo. waterbed from this record compared to their mv version proves how important a good mix is, because suddenly this song sounds a lot more raw yet well produced in here. singaporecentralemo
