Track 2 of 5 off my new EP "this was supposed to be happy", out now on bandcamp: https://nowitsart.bandcamp.com/album/this-was-supposed-to-be-happy

I made this (along with the other tracks) in December 2020, and am only able to finally put them out now. I wanted to get this out on 12/30/21 but you know nothing is ever going to go to plan with me.

Normally I would go into overly-extended detail about what all the songs mean and whatever, but I'm not ready to yet for these. Not enough time has passed still, somehow.

I will say though, that this is only part 1 of this project, so there is definitely more to come.

LYRICS

Everybody wake up

Everybody wake up

Everybody wake up

Everybody wake up

I can't take it

I want to die

I can't make It

I don't know why

Everybody's gonna get me

No One's gonna come set me free

Oh how I wish

I could just stop this

Oh why can't you see

Just stop, you're hurting me

I'm so sorry

I just couldn't see

And now I just hate me

So sad, you just can't be happy

Everybody wake up

Everybody wake up

Everybody wake up

Everybody wake up

I can't take it

I want to die

I can't make It

I don't know why

Everybody's gonna get me

No One's gonna come set me free

Everybody shut up

Everybody shut up

Everybody shut up

Everybody shut up

What's happening?

Was it a lie?

Do I hate him?

Is it my mind?

Everybody's messing with me

I can't tell what is reality

So now I'm

Stuck in my mind

Can I get out still?

Will I be trapped

In this fate

And end up like them?

I've gotta fight

I'm still sane

In some right, I'm not them

I was so close

That I saw my ghost

But now I can see

That that isn't me

I don't want to be

Like them, it's not pretty

So now, I won't hurt me

I don't just want pity

And I've got so much left

To do, and still my best

It waits, for me to make

It through, but is it fake?

I hope that this is true

'cause then I can help you

But I'm just sad to see

'cause this was supposed to be happy
