I'm dependent
And I don't even know it
I'd surrender
But there's nothing to succumb to
Bottled and ignorant
With baggy eyes staring at the mirror
And I don't have a poetic way
To say that I'm still lonely
If that's what you said
Then I would have stayed again
If that's what you meant
Then I would have said it then
Because I'm tired of trying
You're weathered and asking me
To maintain myself for everybody
If it makes things easy
You can just forget me
I know I'm disappointing
Haven't I always been?
Wasting every midnight
And sleeping in
Because I'm mostly speechless
When anyone's around
And I'm mostly selfish
With how much I take and still stay stagnant
(That's how it's always been to you I guess)
Wasting hours staring at the walls
(That's what we've always meant to you and me)
And I'm so afraid of moving backwards
(I'm a disappointment to everyone)
That I don't move anywhere at all
If that's what you said
Then I would have stayed again
If that's what you meant
Then I would have said it then
Because I'm tired of trying
You're weathered and asking me
To maintain myself for everybody
If it makes things easy
You can just forget me

Drawing on everything from soft-focus C86 like The Field Mice to distortion-heavy shoegaze, “Eulogies” is pop perfection. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 13, 2020
