This island is sinking				How do we keep afloat
From the weight of depression		Amidst the tide of greed
There is no empathy				Who are truly poor
In our daily pragmatism			In this dreamless city

Living in the sun				The tide washes over
Surrounded by the sea			The faces of our youth
Are the shadows much longer		Kept from drifting away
When cast by palm trees			By our umbilical noose

The island’s depression, a grey man’s impressions
The island’s depression, an old man’s confessions

Burnt by the sun				Who parts the seas
That bleaches all white			Between the shelved and the sheltered
We run into walls				Who leads the marches
Left no will to fight				Of the shackled and the free

The island’s depression, a grey man’s impressions
The island’s depression, an old man’s confessions

This Isle is far too heavy			We bow our heads
For just one man to carry			Toward the masts of the dead
A nation on his shoulders			And flags flown by patriots
Bent down as he grows older			Of the paper parade

The island’s depression, a grey man’s impressions
The island’s depression, an old man’s confessions


Island Depression

This is what cold autumn in Sauchiehall St sounds like.

The wind blowing against the window. The water is boiling, you know the fusilli is cooking. On weekends, you are alone. You think of you Nenek's sambal udang as you eat your low-standard carbonara pasta.

I used the laptop mic to record this, don't expect good quality shit please. I need recommendations for where to get gears to use for music. Please talk to me about it if you know.

Thank you.

Cold Autumn in Sauchiehall

-
busy people in their boring lives
leaving loops and ties
paying with sorry and goodbye
never meant anything to me
coz that’s the way it is
and no one's gonna say their piece
i got no peace of mind
this happiness is a lie

times are changing
and i don’t want to feel like myself
coz imma break my heart over and over again 
honestly
i wish you didn’t have to leave
how many times do we gotta say goodbye
why can’t we stay just like this?

we never have enough time to make sense of it all
you & i for a little while
talk to me but don’t get lost on the feeling baby
burned in the second degree
at the back of my brain you seem like you’d agree
but convenience
awfully loving, proximity

times are changing
and i don’t want to feel like myself
coz I’mma break my heart over and over again 
honestly
i wish you didn’t have to leave
how many times do we gotta say goodbye
why can’t we stay just like this?

"stuck" was originally released on youtube. some of you may have already heard it, and the plan was to include the re-recorded version on my upcoming album "plum blossom" but alas, i felt the need to release it to you all earlier. lately, the support i've been shown and the kindness that you all have given me has been crazier than i could have ever imagined, and i owe it to you all, so thank you!

i'm also curious to know what you all think it's about, i think the song can be applied to a bunch of situations but i'm wondering what YOU think :-)

here are the chords and lyrics:
Capo - 2nd fret 
G Gmaj7 C Cm

i’m stuck
in the middle of two places
the more i try to think about it
my mind just overwhelms me 

then i’m stuck
in the middle of two places
i thought i understood myself
but i stray farther from that everyday 

my feelings confuse me
and i don’t think i could foresee
another split in my identity
can i really accept this reality

maybe i suppressed it
and bottle it up
is it time for me to tell them all
and finally grow up…

i’m stuck
in the middle of two places
i know others are okay with this
but i’m still grappling with feeling

oh so stuck
in the middle of two places
it should be easy to admit
but i just don’t feel like i quite fit.

am i enough
am i enough
i don’t know
i don’t know i tidon’t know if i’m enough

if i’m enough
would i be happier with who i am
but then again,
 what’s enough to them?

(Bridge) G Gmaj7 Am D

i find myself 
laying awake at night
with hypotheticals 
erasing feelings of being alright 

maybe it’s okay
that i can’t quite label it 
i’m sure i’m not alone
in the fact i can’t admit

that i’m stuck
in the middle of two places
but that’s fine, i guess it’s fine
cause maybe one day i’ll be 

okay
in the middle of two places
just like others i’ll accept
that i don’t need to be perfect-ly whole.

that’s okay. 
that’s okay…
it’s okay that i’m in the middle of two places
