lyrics

I, I, I, I (x16)

Come on, don’t hit and run
The graceful way they fall, one by one
Convenience store rooftop days
Jump off the train I’m in that place
Still think I deserve that bit of fun
Don’t you boy

Days are passing slow but how many I don’t know
I’m tired of this shit, can I kick it, make it glow,
Playing Tetris all the time, without reason, without rhyme
Too much of wanting really messes with your mind

Cut me deep, won’t look inside
How much do you want to hide
She asked me how you feel about her
Said don’t know I’ll see you later
Don’t know what you make of me
Standing there inside my dreams
Sugar pills and motorbikes and never-ending turnpikes

Come on, don’t hit and run
The graceful way they fall, one by one
Convenience store rooftop days
Jump off the train I’m in that place
Still think I deserve that bit of fun
Don’t you boy

Cut and paste my notebooks like I’m still in the third grade
Here I am in college but I’m feeling like I don’t age
Doing shit all day makes me feel so goddamn useful
Making money all the time, I don’t want to lose this time

Give decent advice but I never really take it
If I look too hard inside my head I’m scared that I might break it
When I call you on the phone I don’t want to be alone
Close my eyes, keep me safe under your collarbone

I don’t even know your name
But I want to play your game
But I always lose this game

I don’t even know your name
But I want to play your game
But I always lose this game

Come on, don’t hit and run
The graceful way they fall, one by one
Convenience store rooftop days
Jump off the train I’m in that place
Still think I deserve that bit of fun
Don’t you boy

Crowd Pleaser
by Sofia Zarzuela

everything Sofia writes is incredibly painstakingly honest and I both admire and respect the honesty and emotion put into each song. thank u Father Koi

Medicine
by Bel

absolutely breathtaking. sublime poetry combined with dreamy guitar and harmonies. "Medicine" both reminds me of the sounds of the '90s as well as something new and fresh. Father Koi
