Just an old song about an old breakup. You can find me on spotify under ‘hollie polluck.’

All kings were scumbags

If you follow the sunrise
We'll watch the city glowing bright
And know when the sky falls we'll survive
As we watch the beauty around us die

And when it happens there's no need to be afraid
Don't succumb, don't give in
There's no way to explain
The pieces of tomorrow that are stuck here in my soul
The pieces of denial that still swallow me whole
I'm half: I'm not a leader, a winner, I'm just bent
I'm mediocre but still I'll cave myself in cement
And I'll stay in this spot until the sun shines again
Because times comes in circles and night always ends
And if you tell me it's useless you're probably right
I'm just a loser who's crumbling, who's losing this fight
And I'm trying so hard to make this place ignite
But no matter how I strike it the match just won't light
It won't light, I'm calling, I'm falling again
I'm begging to the void 'just when will this end'
Wondering how you could even call me your friend?
How deep does this go? I live my life to pretend

I'm full of pieces of words but what do they mean?
I'm full of nothing, I stole half my life from a screen
I'm not complicated, but I'm far from serene
And when you've messed yourself up you've got no reason to scream
So please
Pull me down, tie me up
Turn me into someone who's just a little less stuck
I'm writing these words but they're not enough
I'm writing all these words out but they're never enough 

As It Falls

Lyrics:
Disclaimer Thing: Before I say anything I would like to say that I wrote this in high school, and so the lyrics are very high school-y.

Put me in my place, I'm left alone
I've drawn myself broken with pictures of your stones
Stamp on my feet, I'll laugh and cry forever
Roller coaster ride, no ups we'll scream together
Push me to the wall, and cut it out
Suffocate the splinters, I can't wait to hear you shout
With your quiet voice and your pretty face
Don't you see that I'll go far?

Who the hell is here to see me cry?
Who's laughing now?
Will you laugh when I scream my last goodbye?
You know it's true
I'm just a stupid joke to you
Watch me go up in smoke tonight

Braces turn to pencils
Like glitter turns to red
And all those thoughts I've heard them all
They're better left unsaid
Erase the thoughts of dignity
The back is in my hand
Leave me alone, I'm better off alone 

Old People

I'll Follow You Into The Dark (Death Cab for Cutie Cover)

I thought I could run from this deceit
I hit the wall, I hit the ground
And now I'm crawling at your feet
I stumbled through my demons on your floor
You listened through that ugly sound and I have not been here before

I'll complicate your words until they're gone
I'll rob you of what you believe until you just stop holding on
I'll drag you down
I'll lead you through the night
My insanity will make you blind
Until you've lost all sight of sight

I don't know where I belong
And when I fall I know that I'm long gone

I wish I could get inside your head
I'm clinging to my fallacies instead
You're walking away
I'm leaving this town
I'm on the road
And I'm breaking down

Wreck

She stands in place, I've been noticing a pattern
In the way she does her hair and the things that never mattered
But I'll keep my mouth closed and I'll do my best to stagger all these thoughts
I'll let them rot
And if I see her tonight, no it won't stop the thinking
But there's a special kind of life that keeps your heart beating
A special kind of blood pumps through my mind and washes out my soul

And I don't know why I'm holding my breath
When it'd be easier to drown
I don't know why I build these things up
I should be tearing them down
And the more I turn away the more I need to say
It's what I think, not what I feel
So one question remains, because you know it's all the same
Am I just hooked or is this real?
She walks away

You turn away, I must have stammered something wrong
You see I'm so much more absurd than I'm appearing in this song
I'm more selfish than you know
And I'm a coward
And you know I'm far too gone
But lets move on
Because the moonlight on her face, and the way that she reacts
And the noises that she makes when she's absorbed by some distraction
And I never could erase the misconceptions leading up to this
Unfold
But you don't know

And I know I say it way too much but every time I speak the meaning's changed
I'm lost inside my fantasies
I'm lost inside my tragedy
And I feel I must apologize for being so deranged
I'll speak to you in lyrics that somebody else wrote
We've got our gods, we've got our monsters and we're living out a trope
And I'll do my best to break free of the circle in my chest
Because it's leading me to nowhere 
But are you with me?
Cause honestly with you nowhere is the best
