under highways

nighttime habits leave my fingernails cracked and caked in dirt
my teeth get sharper when i smile make the prettiest things all turn to dust
and in the mirror i see someone better than ive ever been my ego got the best of me
my eyes get darker every day i wish there was something i could do to stop this hole in my chest from growing
ive always had a hard time getting rid of things
ive always had a hard time getting rid of things
ive always had a hard time getting rid of things
ive always had a hard time getting rid of things
something lingers around the bushes and the trees crowded in my head
i cant stop pulling at the grass cant help thinking that its trying to crowd me out of my own
i keep all of my teeth piled up in a corner where the rats cant reach
i pull them out from time to time to keep my chest from breaking
im leaving everything behind
ive always had a hard time getting rid of things
ive always had a hard time getting rid of things

the audible cracking of ribs

My name is Silas Maxwell Switzer and I'm a queer creative goblin out of Pittsburgh, PA. I've been writing music for almost half of my life — taught myself guitar, some music production, and some other random skills along the way. I make everything ranging anywhere from your average emo kid sounds to absolutely buckwild feral noises. Take a listen to find out what you like!
