about

A song about dysphoria, depression and feeling stuck.
Also the first time I've done vocals in a song, and because the sound of my voice doesn't really match the look of my face, releasing this is an act of vulnerability.

lyrics

It only took one word to destroy my little world
But that didn't stop it from being said when I was a girl

It shattered and broke
And the next day I awoke
No longer knowing what it's like to be home

I am so selfish
For wanting to live

I'm a big disappointment
and an ungrateful bitch

No one cares enough
till no one cares at all

and they ask me stupid questions
and they're all so trivial

so when -
Happiness hides behind locked doors,
And all of the suffering that I endure

Won't give me the key,
And I'm too poor to afford

Protest signs to picket,
My blood starts to thicken

So I mourn

For a time that never was
and never will be

Gave up
Gave in
Gave crying a try

And I know
that I tried
To convince them otherwise

But nothing I say ever mattered
and now I just expect it

Why do I bother

when -
Happiness hides behind locked doors,
And all of the suffering that I've endured

Won't give me the key
And I'm too poor to afford

bobby pins to pick it,
My mind starts to weaken

So I mourn

For a life that never was
and never will be

so when
Happiness hides behind locked doors
And all of the suffering that I endured,

Wouldn't give me the key,
I'm still too poor to afford

An invitation to it,
Now suicide's my ticket,

Now they
Mourn

For someone who never was
And never could be
