Dead to the World is the single off of our debut self-titled record out 12/6/19

lyrics

Got in bed at quarter to ten with a well-constructed plan
To fix all my bad habits
Alarm set for 7 a.m., got an app for a jogging program
That’d make me more energetic
Got rid of all of my eggs, stocked up on non-dairy spreads
So I can finally go vegan
But when I opened my eyes, light pouring in through my blinds
I remained at my weakest

I was gonna clean my room
But my head feels torn in two
So I’ll stay in bed ‘til noon
I was gonna pay my bills
But I got caught up in the thrill
Of staying dead to the world

I was gonna promise myself, to order less takeout
Buy food and put it on my shelf
I was gonna force my hand to follow through with plans
But did the same old song and dance
I was gonna stop watching porn
Stop always closing my door
Start writing songs about things more important than me

I was gonna clean my room
But my head feels torn in two
So I’ll stay in bed ‘til two
I was gonna pay my bills
But I got caught up in the thrill
Of staying dead to the world

I’m the worst person I know
I’m not a functioning adult
And maybe one day I’ll get better
Or maybe never!

I was gonna text you, I swear
I had the words prepared
I don’t know why I got scared
I can’t explain it right now
I had it all typed out
Then put my phone right down

I was gonna clean my room
But my head feels torn in two
So I’ll stay in bed ‘til I don’t even know!
I was gonna pay my bills
But I said fuck that dude!
I’m staying dead to the world
