Apollo 40 04:38
The lost Gemini twins scattered across the universe One stabbed me in the back and the other will die into my arms And you don’t know much about me but your everything he could’ve been As thunders rifts through our conversations I don't know who I'll become cause it’s all about the experience but it’s just so overwhelming and I don’t know if I can take anymore I don’t wanna leave my bed or wreck my head it’s not that Important in the long run and I’m just spiralling into oblivion hoping I become Someone hoping I’ll become someone so we'll watch old reruns of our old favourite past loves I hope nobody sees me underneath the pink light Cutting stars into the shapes of your eyes And it’s all about the experienece but it’s just so overwhelming and I don’t know if I can take anymore I don’t wanna leave my bed or wreck my head it’s not that Important in the long run and I’m just spiralling into oblivion hoping I become Someone hoping I’ll become someone It's Apollo 40 It's mission impossible and I’ll smile at you through the fogged windows but It’s a gruelling departure from a desolated hell but when we get there I’m gonna be happy I'm gonna be but it’s just so overwhelming and I don’t know if I can take anymore I don’t wanna leave my bed or wreck my head it’s not that Important in the long run and I’m just spiralling into oblivion hoping I become Someone hoping I’ll become someone I'm supposed to be happy you said when we got here I was gonna be happy x4

hold your drunk texts to the highest regrade I will re read them over and over Until my brittle casket overflows If I’m the most amazing person you know, I really wish you’d show it I am the sitting duck waiting for your attention Savouring the taste of this blue moon Why did I get pulled back in so soon If I’m the most amazing thing in your life, I really wish you’d show it God I really wish you’d show it I’m making myself insane, lighting the soles of my feet to sink further into the ground Because there’s gotta be why outta of this grave I’ve dug Cause I’m out of my depth now Everyone knows I’m out of my depth now Everyone can see I’m out of my depth now If I’m the most amazing person you know I really wish you’d show it And you said that to meeting me couldn’t have come any sooner But meeting you was the beginning of my funeral

Drunken murmurs in low light The bitter trace of you still lingers on my hair Forehead kisses tattooed on my skull Saharan skin glided across my lips As your thumb maps all the stars in the universe on my wrist But if I had known that getting what I wanted would’ve rendered harmful I would’ve lived in solitude having never felt the warmth within your arms Lets talk about it when we’re sober Let’s talk about it never I’m breathing in your second hand smoke But theres no need to role the windows down Cause I’m already suffocating in your presence If I don’t laugh, I’ll cry Can’t even look you in the eyes Every time I’m getting hopeful I remember Im just another drunk girl in the dark Just another girl I’m too out of my depth to be a realist right now I no longer like how my name sounds when it comes out of your mouth I’m done be civil, in an attempt to not make things weird Because you’ve fucking hurt and that doesn’t seem to bother you one bit Lets talk about it when we’re sober Let’s talk about it never I’m breathing in your second hand smoke But theres no need to role the windows down Cause I’m already suffocating in your presence If I don’t laugh, I’ll cry Can’t even look you in the eyes Every time I’m getting hopeful I remember Im just another drunk girl in the dark But when I’m laughing with him and the sun beams in I know I’m gonna be alright And if you’ve taught me anything, its to apperception the people that actually want me in their lives You never wanted me in your life I’m breathing in your second hand smoke But theres no need to role the windows down Cause I’m already suffocating in your presence If I don’t laugh, I’ll cry Can’t even look you in the eyes Every time I’m getting hopeful I remember Im just another drunk girl you kissed and regretted in the dark

You wake up at noon I only talk you at birthdays and funerals My fragile hands scrape the bumps in the wallpaper while you yell at your son for insisting a child should've known better And well if blood is thicker than water why denounce you kin because the water tasted sweeter You don't have to love me and you don't have to care Let's talk about the dog if that makes it easier x2 So put me on trial make a mockery of you're embarrassment then manufacture a girl who no longer believes in herself another broken toy on your shelf and well If there's no place like home why do I stand on the outskirts of a life I've never known You don't have to love me and you don't have to care Let's talk about the dog if that makes it easier x2 woah x2 swag guitar solo You don't have to love me and you don't have to care Let's talk about the dog if that makes it easier x4
