Name: Suburban Blues
Duration: P00H04M39S
Description: We originally called this song "18" because I started writing it on my 18th birthday, which was going well until I checked my snapchat to see that my ex, whom I had not yet gotten, over was at a house party with a bunch of douchey looking guys. It turned from a "feelings" themed song into an "existential crisis" themed song sort of naturally, and we think it sounds pretty cool.

lyrics

Oh, happy birthday
To me, but she's not around
The second I went astray,
She was lost but now I've found
Why do I suddenly want to cry?
Why do I so quickly want to die?
Why can't I shake off all of those days?
Why after years do I feel this way?

I know I worry too much
And I know I cannot trust
A god damn soul in this show
A single person I know
It's not sustainable
I'm counting days till it falls

I know I'm a worrywart
But these straws have come up short
A pipe dream is what I've fed in the
A short life that I've led
I'm just a set of eyes on earth
Trying to define, for what it's worth,
Human habits and our crimes have been
Been redefined endless times

Old ghosts have come back to haunt me
Out from the closet set them free
I was blind but I want to see
I am blind, when will I see?
I'm blind with jealousy
When will I see?
...
