lyrics

i’m waiting for the day that i can finally walk away from all this bullshit
sitting in my room practicing how to be cool but i can’t do it
i tried hard enough with my roommate and she’s mean for a nurse but anyway
it wasn’t enough and my life is weighing heavy on my chest

i feel so out of place
i’m just trying to erase myself whenever i get the chance
my need to evaporate and receive validation at the same time
is just happenstance
oh it’s happenstance

and yeah i could scream out, do something rash, make people look
but where would that leave me
scared as a dog undercover where nobody can see
what’s a girl gotta do to just not be me
to just not be me

it wasn’t enough and my life is weighing heavy on my chest

i feel so out of place
i’m just trying to erase myself whenever i get the chance
my need to evaporate and receive validation at the same time
is just happenstance
oh it’s happenstance

i feel so out of place
i’m just trying to erase myself whenever i get the chance
my need to evaporate and receive validation at the same time
is just happenstance
oh it’s happenstance

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
