about

So happy with this and glad I could finally finish it!

This song's about a lot of things. Loving someone, losing them, and struggling to get over them, even when you want to move on so badly.

To all of my friends that have been there for me while I struggled through 2020, thank you so much!! I wouldn't have survived it without you.

And a huge huge HUGE thank you to my friend Liz for the amazing cover art! Please give them a follow!! twitter.com/monoxromatik

lyrics

LYRICS:

Please calm down
You're gonna be okay

Hold that thought
You're not allowed to say

All alone
What's it like to be?

A real black hole
Pull back from the gravity

Now it's all said and done
So anything else?
Or should I just sit around and
Keep on repeating myself?

Runnin' in circles
Around the well
Oh, sweet carousel

Can't fight the nausea to find my way off
It makes me sick
Please make it stop

Sweet carousel of love

Don't look down
I'm scared I'll see your face

Holding out
For a better soulmate

And I hate you now

Don't wanna be your plaything
I was never a distraction
I wanted to be someone
That spurred you to action

But I realize now
That I needed you
To need me

That's all I thought that I could be
