lyrics

Problems
I’ve got stupid ideas on how we can solve them
Like running around this house with the lights off
You can’t see me
And I can’t see you
Even if I wanted to

Has there ever been a night where we end up alone
I’m piss drunk on the couch while you’re staring at your phone
And we can’t leave this place ‘cause I can’t drive us home

Leave, but don’t shut the door when you go
Don’t shut the door when you leave
Don’t shut the door
And well' will figure this out but for right now well why can’t we

Leave well enough alone
Well enough
Just leave well enough alone

Leave well enough alone
Well enough
Just leave well enough alone
Well enough alone

Leave, but don’t shut the door when you go
Don't shut the door when you leave
Don't shut the door when you go

Afraid to be the book you no longer can read
When the stories and prose just can’t sate when you need
Anymore when you found pages incomplete
When I’m marked and I’m shelved there’s no blame left from from me when you leave

I remember asking if something is wrong
Is something right?

Problems
I’ve got stupid ideas on how we can solve them
Like running around this house with the lights off

Leave, but don’t shut the door when you go
Don't shut the door when you leave
Don't shut the door when you go
Don't shut the door when you leave

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world. But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur

viscerally affected by covid, this album has a less optimistic but more accepting message than the previous. it reaches the heart of my experience (and others'?) in a cathartic and depressing acknowledgement. it's nice to know you feel the same niq
