Usually on a night like this I would sleep
But I’m wired on two shots of your smell and some coffee
There’s something about this apartment and how we can’t sleep on weekends
If it’s alright, I’ll stay for the night and we can burn our candle at both ends
I don’t need saving
But you saved me anyway
Won’t drown in the gin but I’ll wade in the water carefully
I’m trying not to try so hard
I’m trying not to try so hard again
And if you’ll have me
I’m trying not to try so hard
I’m trying not to try so hard again
Your eyes still flicker the same as they did when I met you
Still the same little kid inside
We’d skip our class to spend all our money on breakfast
Just to talk away our appetite
I’m drunk off your skin but I’ll wade through your heart so carefully
I’m trying not to try so hard
We’ll be those kids when things get hard again
And if you’ll have me
I’m trying not to try so hard
I’m trying not to try so hard again

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
the powerful instrumentals contrasted against the soft unconfident vocals. like a deep yearning for affection but you dont know how to ask. like a love you feel slipping away but youre powerless to stop it. every time i start it i feel like i cant stop. a must have for my collection. skeletalsexing
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
