When The Party's Over

Ig- officialcoyotelegs

Its cool we can still be friends (insta @officialcoyotelegs)

we would make an EP but i think we're both too impatient for that so!! :p

lyrics:
You expect more of me than I could ever meet
Everything I do is never quite complete
I know I disappoint you but I'm trying as hard as I can
You'll never care and I'll never understand
Please just give it a rest and don't expect the best
For I know you'll expect too much and I'll just let you down
I'll just let you down

I want to tell you that I need you to be proud of me
I know it's annoying and I'm sorry please don't hate me
I'm sorry
Without support, this is so hard, it's so hard
Will you believe in my vision
I need to stop wishing
It's so hard

it's so hard

Taylor wrote this awesome guitar riff that we made into a song. This is us practicing it for the first time and I'm so glad it sounds this way with all the instruments. 
Listen to the finished recording of this song here!

Space Again (Demo)

smoked so much till i could feel something
the cold resided i'm erupting
cleared the dew as a drip to the ground 

take my heart and twist my tongue
rip my teeth out one by one 
squeeze my arms so i don't feel so numb

did you know i'm not great at communication, i sit alone but my mind's abrasion wears me down

did you know, i'm too scared if scaring you off so i'll just leave

being dead is still better than being me (demo)

my friends all have girlfriends

where did you go, and what did you do
with all the time you were too scared to move
and what is it like to be by yourself
for three and a half years
for roughly three and a half years
if we could just pretend that i went to college
and that is why you, you haven’t seen me
i wanted to go, but not for this long
i over did it
why did you say that i was one in a million
because i believed it i thought i had something
that you were too scared to lose
so if we could just pretend that i went to college
or traveled abroad and did something different
anything but just sitting at home
for three and a half years
writing song after song after song
so what is it like to be by yourself
and not feel like you’ll die
around everyone else
i thought i was one in a million
well thanks for nothing
yeah thank you
thank you
