I actually wrote the lyrics of the song far before any of the songs that were released on the EP. I was going through a rough breakup at the time, and so I decided I would channel that energy into a song. I then went on to write an instrumental earlier this year and I had the bright idea to use the lyrics I wrote for said instrumental. That's how this song came to be. It also happened to be the first song I ever properly demoed, and there is a demo version that MIGHT be released at some point in the future. For now though, I hope everyone enjoys this, I worked really hard on it.
lyrics
Verse #1:
I bite my nails
It really kills
When you waste your time
Maybe I'm being too dramatic
Sweet dreams I would say
And they would slip away
I guess it's wrong
But I can't quite help it I'm an addict
I'd probably stay for a while
Instead of faking a smile
I would be true
Really wish we could sit and stay forever
I wish I wouldn't speak
So none would think I was weak
You won't be here
I'll sit in silence oh whenever
Chorus:
I'll still fall behind and pretend that I'm fine
I won't front I guess I'm losing my mind
To stay awake through surgery no anesthesia
I've stopped pretending that I don't miss Mila
Verse #2:
I still see their face
Oh it was such a waste
I blame myself
To much to think to much about it
I want to close my eyes
I want to realize
What I am
It's really to much for me to admit
Hearing the morning bell
It wasn't show in tell
I guess I am
Free to chose my future for a while
Until there comes a day
Where I will truly stay
With someone
I guess I won't be faking any smile
Outro:
And when I find the right direction
Her voice will have that bright inflection
I really can't handle rejection now
I need
Laying on the grass with her
We'll be flying with all the doves

Cool shoegazey emo grunge music by some dudes up in Norway?! I found these guys because they commented on my soundcloud, and I'm so glad they did. Great EP, can't wait for more! you.
These guys are the whole entire reason that I got into smaller acts and my local scene. I owe them a lot. Also a wonderful record, hope they come back one day (: you.
