augustyours The chorus of "I hate my life" on Naked in Toronto is one of the most cathartic and satisfying moments I've ever heard from a small artist. Great stuff Favorite track: Naked in Toronto.

F, Gm, Bbm i said i wanted to change but i never really wanted to change I had some intentions but those intentions were disguised as undercover indiscretions We were breathing the same that was before you shaved your lion’s mane I’m going to bed I’ve had enough of feeling free, forget everything that I’ve said Gm, C, F, Bbm I only came out tonight So that I wouldn’t feel left out I only came out tonight So that I wouldn’t feel left out Gm, Bbm, Eb, C It’s embarrassing to open your arms til your smile reads your speech and you know it by heart Gm, C, F, Bbm I only came out tonight So that I wouldn’t feel left out F, Gm, Bbm are you leaving again with that sac of everything that's left to your name We can stand in the crowd Not really understanding what our living is about While a panel discusses fleshing out extensive lists of the many repercussions We’ll be tapping out of time One breath after the next until we leave the world behind I had a solution But it was stolen Leaving would be easy if the time stopped going Gm, C, F, Bbm I only came out tonight So that I wouldn’t feel left out I only came out tonight So that I wouldn’t feel left out Gm, Bbm, Eb, C I spread the vaseline all over my mouth So the cracks on my lips Don’t bleed when I shout Gm, C, F, Bbm I only came out tonight So that I wouldn’t feel left out

Folding 06:12
I went to bed I was getting tired with all the thinking going on inside of my head But I couldn’t sleep Lying, envisioning all of the things that I couldn’t do and I couldn’t say and expectations I couldn’t meet I’m breathing loud Clothes on the ground I’m breathing loud Clothes on the ground The window is open And the breeze on my skin is the only reminder That time can fold And the best is behind us But that doesn’t mean we have to give in Splash some water on your face Take a look in the mirror Those wrinkles are now gonna last forever They’re making you stronger And life just needs a little bit of space I’m breathing loud A wall of sound I’m breathing loud Clothes on the ground I’m ringing out I’m falling down I’m ringing out I’m falling, I’m falling I’m ringing out I’m falling down I’m ringing out (I don’t wanna be) I’m ringing out (I don’t wanna be scared anymore)

I had a winterlong daydream Of the summertime smokescreen Coming home from work to find My roommates and my friends all of them sitting in the backyard We’d grab a drink and then we’d start craving and crashing to Our summertime songs And then you would suggest we’d move to the park Then we’d dance our way through But summer came and I woke up And reality sang it’s song into our ears so loud now My eardrums are ringing The waiter is bringing the autumn leaves To our table I wish I was able to say All I really want is summer to stay I hate my life I hate my life I hate my life I hate my life I hate (my life) I hate (my life) I hate my life I hate my life I’m trying my best I’m trying my best But it seems like it’s not working out I swear I’m trying my best I live in the west Boy, I like how the sun sets And I don’t want any of my friends to die Also I’m scared of my own death I think life is a test I think existence is an overnight guest But it seems I’ve got performance anxiety I swear I’m trying my best I’m trying my best I’m trying my best But it seems like it’s not working out I swear I’m trying my best I hate my life I hate my life I hate my life I hate my life I hate (my life) I hate (my life) I hate my life I hate my life

Goodbye 01:29
im already sold falling the fall then collecting my patience my gin and my tonic perched up on the terrace feet glued to the ball that we ended on top of wallets and bones the pressures of passion we’re eating our own and we’re stuck in the passenger seat while the car is in free fall a vehicle rollover not much to do except panic this morning I moaned as I woke up my pigeons we gathered our omens we wanted to sing so we did it was warm then we handed our pleas to the preacher just in time for the audit i’m writing in bold and i can’t help but wonder why sometimes i forget the spell that i’m under leaves are so vivid the sparkling water called peace to my heart but no answer
