lyrics

[Chorus: KÖDA]
Didn't get out of bed today
Felt what was the point
Didn't realise you felt this way’
I left it with the voice in my head
He tells me how I pushed everyone away
To be loved, to feel guilty
So I'm in with the pretty
Who don't see me that way

[Verse 1: Ezra Allen]
Pushing this creative streak
How to write about her without looking like a creep
I feel If a car hit at least I'd get some sleep
I’m far from l where I used to be
I don't know how to treat, myself
I go for long walks my shoes can't take
I go for long weeks without a break
Unhappy with every decision I make
Unhappy with the smiles I fake
‘I’m great’ everyone’s favourite lie
Each one yanks on that knot tied
You're not ready for my inside
You’re not ready for my inside

[Verse 2: Ezra Allen]
Tired of being hypochondriac
Waking up in the cardiac ward
Making these mistakes then
Wonder why I’ve had been here before
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words are swords
And my words are talking goals
I'm reaching towards
Scared of the future
Scared I don't see myself in it
I feel like I’m quitting before beginning
Am I not winning?
Or am I better off brooding like Bruce Wayne
Walking through my days they feel the same
Absorbing problems I’m done passing blame
I’m done playing this character

[Verse 3: Ezra Allen]
Tired of writing sad songs
Finding ways to spend long nights
Excuses to sleep, or not
Watching the room I lost the plot
Maybe top shelf liquor will keep me in high spirits
Or I’ll shout the problem so loud I can hear it
Say to Hello mr blue sky
Ask him why he's been away for so long
Morning montage movies, showers playing that song
Conspiracy board theories find out where I went wrong

I belong

[Bridge: Ezra Allen & KÖDA]
Stare at the empty space to my left
Reflection in my phone see what’s left
(Well this is life through a screen)
Morning but the energy is spent
Last nights text is what I really meant
Morning apologies for the truth I regret
(Well this is life through a screen)

[Chorus: KÖDA]
Didn't get out of bed today
Felt what was the point
Didn't realise you felt this way’
I left it with the voice in my head
He tells me how I pushed everyone away
(life through a screen)
To be loved, to feel guilty
(life through a screen)
So I'm in with the pretty
(well this is life through a screen)
Who don't see me that way

Didn't get out of bed today
Felt what was the point
Didn't realise you felt this way’
I left it with the voice in my head
He tells me how I pushed everyone away
(life through a screen)
To be loved, to feel guilty
(life through a screen)
So I'm in with the pretty
(Well this is life through a screen)
Who don't see me that way
