lyrics

THIS IS NOT WHO I WANT TO BE

Rain pouring down my head pounds from the sound
I'm stuck to the bed with brain zaps in my head
I can't fall asleep I cannot stay awake
I cry till I weep I shiver and I shake

I think of you I think of you
I think of you it's all that I can do
And lord knows I try I'm trying hard to change
I wish I knew why I always stay the same

This is not who I want to be
This is not who I want to be
I am slowly killing me
No, This is not who I want to be

I wish I was scared of poison pills and pain
I wish I was scared of damage to my brain
But finally I see I should be scared of me
How'd I come to be my own worst enemy?

This is not who I want to be
This is not who I want to be
I am slowly killing me
No, This is not who I want to be

I love how spacious yet intimate the mixing and lyrics are. Everything comes together so well. I especially love when more elements start to be brought as the album reaches it's climax. pacificbird

Balm and art and feelings and deep and beautiful silky fireworks smudged into psychological streams of color. <3 Thank you!!! I love the transitions and stuff. TwinTrash
