lyrics

I went to type your name in my phone
well it's a goddamn shame
but I don't recognize it anymore
and honestly I'm relieved
cuz I'm still the king of
skirting all basic human needs
I'm still the queen of
watching the throne

I should have left you
where you were
before my brain split in two
I should have left you
beyond the big stairs
where you can fake it
and no one cares
beyond the big stairs
I should have left you
but that's not
what I was supposed to do

I learned my lesson it's true
I learned my lesson with you
you showed me what I would do
cuz I told you once I was powerful
showed you the real me
I am unstoppable
and when you finally came around
it wasn't mutual
I can't apologize for life at the top

if you dropped a quill
into a giant spill
from the top of the stairs
would you choose empathy
or apathy

Slashing and hooky, this LP of guitar-driven pop is just as heavy on scuzzy riffs as it is on beatific harmonies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 17, 2022
