i helped u light the fire
i got burned by the same flame
i gave what u desired
u couldn't do the same for me
it's gettin hard to breathe
it's gettin hard to sleep
my floor scattered w tee's
n now i hardly eat
i truly feel like a mess
i lost it all on the bet
u took it all then u left

u took a part of me.

now i don't know where to go
i don't need ur help, do it on my own
get the fuck out of my zone
big jeans, vivienne w the chrome
now ur nothin but a memory
i still remember what u said to me
god i wish u took me seriously
makin promises u couldn’t keep

it’s pathetic wrapped around ur finger
should've cut it off when i met u last winter
gotta live w my mistake
how much more can i take?
n i'm tryin not to break..

pls leave me alone.

i’m tryna heal on my own
i know i gotta go
u think i'll stay but i won't 

think i'll stay but i-

y u think i'd still be sittin waitin?
i don't want a life that's complacent
n i know ur gonna easily replace me
think about the time that i wasted
drink another bottle, let's get wasted
all those memories i'll erase them
thought i could do it, i can't take it
gave my heart, in the end it was tainted

Lurking in the undergrowth of Australia's music scene, @r00ts_au is one of the sharpest talent scouts going around. Shining a light on Australia's underground music scenes, while also uplifting fellow music media personnel and visual artists, the Canberra-based journalist is shifting the way people consume music content.

Through mediums like digital art, write-ups, videos, new release features, and interviews, his raw, internet-indebted aesthetic has already helped him flesh out a world within itself, while also producing scene-leading coverage. Inspired to delve into the scenes that the rest of the industry misses, he's featured the likes of Sidney Phillips, Jonny Chopps, licuh, 4orttune, and Ninajirachi early on in their careers. His work has also brought together artists who have gone on to collaborate - a particular source of pride.
