lyrics

Why do I do those to myself?
I always hold tightly to things that just let me go.
It's parasitic!
And I've grown use to this feeling of rejection!

I have a heart to give,
But there is nobody who is,
Willing to take it.
I'm growing tired of this constant sadness! I can't stand to see myself!

What have I done?
Where did I go?
Have I always been this good at giving up?
Is this all my life is going to be?
(Will I continue to fail you constantly?)

What have I done?
Where did I go?
Have I always been this good at giving up?
Is this all my life is going to be?

My mind is withering,
I feel as if I am slowly dying,
The more I try to hold on to you,
The more Iose my grip on myself!

What have I done?
Where did I go?
Have I always been this good at giving up?
Is this all my life is going to be?
(Will I continue to fail you constantly?)

What have I done?
Where did I go?
Have I always been this good at giving up?
Is this all my life is going to be?

I'll never move on,
If I just stay in the past.
I just can't hold on,
Because we didn't last.
I didn't give up,
You turned your back on me.
I swear I did my best,
But I was never,
GOOD,
ENOUGH,
FOR,
YOU!

What have I done?
Where did I go?
Have I always been this good at giving up?
Is this all my life is going to be?
(Will I continue to fail you constantly?)

What have I done?
Where did I go?
Have I always been this good at giving up?
Is this all my life is going to be?
(Will I continue to fail you constantly?)

What have I done?
Where did I go?
Have I always been this good at giving up?
Is this all my life is going to be?
(Will I continue to fail you constantly?)

What have I done?
Where did I go?
Have I always been this good at giving up?
Is this all my life is going to be?

What have I done?
Where did I go?
Have I always been this good at giving up?
Is this all my life is going to be?
(Will I continue to fail you constantly?)

A dulcet combination of early(ish) blackgaze and melodic angst-driven emo with some rays of light constantly peeking and disappearing. Like joy and sorrow, like sun and cold cloudless night. Stylish compositions. 𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡
