lyrics
why were you so kind to me?
I’m up for hours just considering that
shouldn’t you make room?
for something you’d rather have?
March, it’s just begun
the snow slips from the trees
and I eye it like a wilting sleeve.
dressed up in chiffon,
I’m like those dried up leaves,
still clinging to your seams.
oh, go drop my hand,
ditch me for that glistening green
I could never complete
she’s the most darling scene
let me take it gracefully.
I hate it when your kind to me
have you considered that?
no matter what you do, or say, or waste away
every single day is a mess I’ve made
there’s no gentle way to put it,
it’s me, in me, an undeniable itch
go find a wishing well,
shower it in dimes, flowers,
whatever makes you feel something
it’ll leave them where they fell
and you’ll see magic isn’t real
letting you down is all too easy
leave me in my tower,
like you never found me
I promise, I won’t say a thing
I’ll be in this attic,
someday I’ll learn to face it
that empty space you would’ve fit
and I’ll clasp my hands tight over it
it’ll crackle, my how long’s it been
old letters fade in heart shaped tins,
“let’s feel better about this”
I’ll bring it to my shaking lips
it’ll smell like June and charm bracelets
if it meant a thing, I’d promise this:
we’ll feel better about this.
I’m your wishing well,
well, throw in your towel
‘cause letting you down is my thing, baby
I’ll leave your love where it fell
watch it shine, and writhe, and swell
I’ve no choice but to crave that feeling
of every word you held,
they’ll ring and ring like bells,
and I’ll remember it well,
the way it could’ve been.
down the hall it hangs,
in an ornate frame,
so I can walk past each day,
and feel, again,
that ache.
vignettes of young adulthood that feel as old as time but also incredibly 2010s. it's silly and flippant and absolutely beautiful. Strattford Knockings is my favorite, it gave me psychic damage Sugardeer
people know Heynderickx bc Bug Collector and Oom Sha La La got really big and thats great! What if I told you the entire record is also breathtaking and deserves your time Sugardeer
