about

I wrote this last week but I just finished it now. Abrasive ass depression song. Hoping to write something a little bit less directly angsty next time, I was having a pretty rough mental health patch when 50/90 started this year lol. Little Arctic Monkeys inspo on the bridge.

lyrics

Verse 1:
The lights come on and there you'll find
A skeleton on New Year's night
But don't feign shock, don't act surprised
I've been here this whole time

Chorus:
I need someone to pull me up
I can't keep hanging on
It used to come so easily
But now the fun is gone

*solo*

Verse 2:
I dug myself into this pit
A dramamongering hypocrite
Every convo has been counterfeit
Here's a real self portrait

Chorus:
I need someone to push me down
I've been here for too long
I used to love so many things
But now the fun is gone

Bridge:
I never wanted to be like this
I never wanted to be anyone's worst nightmare
I never wanted to be jaded
I miss having the ability to care

I promise, I'm not like this
I just need to dig my way back out
I promise, I'm not like this
But I'm stuck inside the ground

Verse 3:
I'm working so I don't go broke
Career in music? What a joke
I can't see too far past the smoke
Of mental images that make me choke

Chorus:
I need someone to pull me up
Can you hear me? I was wrong
I thought I'd make it on my own
But the will to live is gone

*solo*
