lyrics >
talk
it anyway...
stop
tryna control
but with the glass half full, i was staying awake
and i've been running out of options and i needed a taste
do you mind if i want it back?
do you mind if i have that?
'cause i don't want you to think i'm like this
'cause somebody wants you
and you never talked to me anyway
didn't you want to?
what i'd do to fucking crash at your place,
sora you don't know the half of it
you gave somethin that i cannot replace
sora you don't know the half of it
(you don't know the half of it)

do you mind if i want it back?
do you mind if i have that?
do you mind if i want it back?
do you mind if i have that?
do you mind if i want it back?
do you mind if i have that? (so)

'cause i dont recommend u
look through your camera roll while you're figuring it out (yeah)
so sora, when will you come home?

and i don't want you to think im like this
'cause somebody wants you
you never talked to me anyway
didn't u want to?
what i'd do to fucking crash at ur place,
sora you don't know the half of it
you gave somethin that i cannot replace
sora you don't know the half of it
.
if you read this, i will see you soon in the town below the dancing star.

aka the boy that moved away

You
Fucking with my head again
And you
Don't think about nobody else

You were talking 'bout how you're moving out
I was talking 'bout how I'm losing out
On your final day I was the one to come out
I think you forget just what you mean right now
Intend to fuck it up it seems
I intend to sew you at the seam

Don't think you know the answer
You know 
What I am after is more than what you're offering
Is more than what you're offering
Don't think you know the answer
You know 
What I am after is more than what you're offering
Is more than what you're offering

I could taste the salt right on the tip of my tongue
It was over so quickly
And I thought I liked the unfamiliar
Turns out maybe not, but
Yeah, so when we talk about it (okay)
I respect your perspective
But I know that you've been stuck inside your bedroom all day
I keep telling you to keep the fairytales away

You were talking 'bout how you're moving out
I was talking 'bout how I'm losing out
On your final day I was the one to come out
I think you forget just what you mean right now
Intend to fuck it up it seems
I intend to sew you at the seam

Don't think you know the answer
You know 
What I am after is more than what you're offering
Is more than what you're offering
Don't think you know the answer
You know 
What I am after is more than what you're offering
Is more than what you're offering

I know you're not alone
Well I know it's all interpretation and correlation
Oh have you seen it
I feel the heat on my skin from the sun
But I can't help but asking

Yeah so 
Why
So now I'm stuck in the desert and
I saw the serpent and the treasure
Now am I stuck here forever
Why
So now I'm stuck in the desert and
I saw the serpent and the treasure
Now am I stuck here forever

Well now I've realised
I can't just walk around with closed eyes
Get a grip of yourself
I know you're scared
Let's look at the semantics
I know I'm so pedantic
It's all perspective, it won't ruin my vision
We've gotta stop with all this indecision

I see it all the time (okay)
I can't believe I didn't notice you
And I won't hesitate anymore
Action over reaction
And I won't play pretend anymore

Yeah so 
Why
So now I'm stuck in the desert and
I saw the serpent and the treasure
Now am I stuck here forever
Why
So now I'm stuck in the desert and
I saw the serpent and the treasure
Now am I stuck here forever

if determinism is true
then what led me here?
i just can't believe that we move without thinking twice about it
amor fati, i'll never lose
even when you move away.

why are you always walking alone?
he said he's building on a world of his own
i see sage when i'm walking alone
why are you always walking alone?
he said he's building on a world of his own
i see sage when i'm walking alone

Say wha

I'm so constantly worried about wasting my time
We're all stuck inside
So just as you found some freedom you found
Your serotonin's a lie
Now, you're so fucking worried about where to reside
Even if it's just for the night
Yeah, we'll get along, I can try
But where's the fun in loving yourself, if you're not gonna die

I'm stuck at the red light
I'll do it tomorrow
But you want no one to do it like you
Well, get a move on 'cause
You can't keep holding onto what is rotting away but
Oh fuck, I've done it again (woah)

I'm so fucking sick of this peace of mind
It sounds like an excuse
And it feels like my perspective was never mine
You see I'm constantly thinking
And I don't know if it's doing a whole lot of good right now
I'm always weighing up the costs and benefits
But where's the fun in loving yourself, if you're not gonna die

I'm stuck at the red light
I'll do it tomorrow
But you want no one to do it like you
Well, get a move on 'cause
How long can we keep this up?
How long can we keep this up?

And so I tried it again for my third time
I had an epiphany and I won't let it go
You're so reliant on external phenomena so
Often knowledge kills the action, you gotta love the unknown

And now I'm gonna get the best of me

Oh fuck I've done it again
Oh fuck I've done it again
Oh fuck I've done it again
Oh fuck I've done it again
Oh fuck I've done it again
Oh fuck I've done it again
Oh fuck I've done it again
Oh fuck I've done it again

(What are you waiting for?)

The city tasted so good when you were around
You're always caught up when I'm down
I never know when you're around so
The city tasted so good when you were around
You're always caught up when I'm down
I never know when you're around so

You think it's all laid out for you, I know
I told you that I hated love
You said get your head out the sand
Independent agency
Codependent flagrancy like
I can't live my life like that
I can't live my life like that yeah

I think it's clear that you don't know what you want
Well I know I won't focus on the past

The city tasted so good when you were around
You're always caught up when I'm down
I never know when you're around so
The city tasted so good when you were around
You're always caught up when I'm down
I never know when you're around so

Just give it time
I think I hate when we get high
We've gotta stop
The extroversion made it kinda hard to cut the seam

Now I see the inability
To face your own fragility
Consider possibilities that
I can't rely on anybody for this
Built the bridge by myself and got up
Don't be frightened
Let your impulse take the lead

The city tasted so good when you were around
We gon' build this whole new town
And to nothing we'll be bound, oh
The city tasted so good when you were around
We gon' build this whole new town
And to nothing we'll be bound, oh
(And to nothing we'll be bound)
(And to nothing we'll be bound)
(And to nothing we'll be bound)
(And to nothing we'll be bound)

Maybe I am right
Maybe I'm wrong
You'll see the same thing happening if you're unaware
I've noticed a change in the state of affairs
Oh, I know
Can you believe it
It's been only an hour since you left home and
You're already thinking 'bout it
I've been on this path
Oh, let me tell you 'bout it
What's it gonna be, yeah
Yeah, this liberation I'm creating
So I'll venture now to kill off this spirit with my laughter
We're all just using this tech as a distraction
Just fucking listen to me
Can you believe it
It's been only an hour since you left home and
You're already thinking 'bout it
And courage has to be my virtue
Yeah, I'm that tragically involved
I knew this path was so dangerous
I've known since I was sixteen
This is my time
I won't pass up the offer
Okay Sage, what's the move
But if I'm keeping it real with you
I've always been steadfast
And I sense that's what screen-time is tryna erase (it's always been)
And you constantly question
If your time has been well spent
But you're lost in the feed
Do you feel that you're well fed
Just fucking break it all down
You're wasting your time
And I'm tryna kill off this spirit with my laughter
And to think I need to get it all out
(You'll find me laughing on my phone
As I throw away my phone)
I fell on my sword
And I pulled it right out of myself
Beautiful boy
I've got no protection now
Do you believe it
Open up the line to my unconscious
I feel it
And we ain't making love unless you're part of my scheming
No
We ain't making love unless you're part of my scheming
Believe it
Felt like my body betrayed me
Had to regain my trust
I'm so sick of complaining
It's all lust of result
Well, how can I advise you
I don't wanna see you grasping like them
And only look behind you
If you're gonna assimilate what's there
I know that you're trying to
I can see the fire in your eyes
Okay Sage, what's the move
But I know it has to be me
It's no mistake
So I'll venture now to kill off this spirit with my laughter
I'll break you with my craft and I
Wanted it all back but
I have to let it go for me to
(Existential)
(And say how much you love it)

(lyrics further below)

This song, originally for All Nighter Volume 6, was created in 24 hours without stopping.  We focused on trying to create something with a blend of genres, with TROPHYTROPHY having the idea of fusing indie-rock with our more current styles of music. 
It was all about not ruling out any ideas and trying everything that came to mind - clearlew

lyrics: (performed by clearlew)
Seven days
Seven days till I’d never go back
I wasn't looking to be around you
The blue linen with the golden flower

Too many questions
I never wanted to ask
She told me live in the moment
But the moment never lasted
We had seven days
And I stayed up too late
Just to communicate with you
I wasn't looking to be around you
The blue linen with the golden flower

And it's time
To leave all that shit in the past
To know that that was the last time i put myself on the line
I didn't know what was coming for me
I was too caught up in the you and me
I hope you're doing okay
I hope you're doing alright

I hope you're doing okay
I hope you're doing just fine
