goin' round this town alone
ever since you became a stone
now I'm used to your absence
I despise you, no offense
Used to always check my phone
To hear your voice at the tone
though I'll say in my defense
to be honest you were dense
goin' round this town alone
ever since you became a stone
now I'm used to your absence
I despise you, no offense
Your love used to fill my bones
Far more than you could have known
then one day you built a fence
Your cold words, they made no sense
goin' round this town alone
ever since you became a stone
now I'm used to your absence
I despise you, no offense
I despise you, no offense

well go ahead
stare into the dark abyss
wndless brain fog
like an old car with smog
been feeling this way for over three years now
don't know why or how this really happened
i never really had the world's best memory
but I know I shouldn't be forgetting things all the fucking time!
and that's when i took a look
at myself in the mirror
found countless flaws, both physically & mentally
all i can do is hope & work towards a better version of myself
a better version of myself
well go ahead
peer into my empty mind
dust is all that you will find
dust is all that you will find
dust is all that you will find
just go ahead, stare into the dark abyss
just go ahead, stare into the dark abyss

darling

ooo, won't you tell me darling?
why do i always seem to get so lost
in your eyes, oh my heart is falling
ran my fingers through your hair, it was oh-oh so soft
it was oh-oh so soft
ooo, won't you tell me dear?
what are your deepest darkest fears?
i know that's deep, but at least it's interesting
i'll sit here, and listen to every single word you say
the way your bangs cover your face
makes my heart simply race
you asked me why i sit so close to you
I'm sorry, can't help myself
just wanted a better view, better view, of you
better view, better view, of you
better view, better view, of your face
ooo, won't you tell me darling?
why do i always seem to get so lost
in your eyes, oh my heart is falling
ran my fingers through your hair, it was oh-oh so soft
it was oh-oh so soft

would things change?

we've spent so much
time together lately
in my mind, we're just friends
and i thought it'd stay that way
haven't even known you for that long
and i understand that this is wrong
sat atop a hill overlooking the river dawn
realize that i am the fool all along
tell me, would things change?
if i told you that
suddenly i realized
that i like you
you know i can't believe
you actually offered to hang out with me first
little do you know, you've been running circles in my mind
this whole weekend
you're running around in my head
you're running around in my head
tell me, would things change?
if I told you that
suddenly I realized
that I like you
tell me, would things change?
if I told you that
suddenly I realized
that I like you
why do I catch feelings for
why do I catch feelings for every girl?
why do I catch feelings so
why do I catch feelings so easily?
why do I catch feelings for every girl who gives me the time of day?
why do I catch feelings so
why do I catch feelings so easily?

you're different now
i thought we had chemistry
although it seems this was a false hypothesis
futile feelings got the best of me
it's you who i miss
but i could never tell you this,
for our relationship would vanish into mist
i don't quite know why or how,
but this whole month you've been odd
these fond memories, were they all a facade?
you avoid me, and spend time with others
of course who am i but another
faceless person who dreams of her
these feelings i should never uncover
longing for you i suffer
my heart is a painting devoid of color
my heart is a painting devoid of color
you're different now
you're different now
you're different now
you're different now...

mental sentimental
02:45

you make it hard to say goodbye
and I'm so tired of your lies
i think it's about time i cut ties
it seems every single bond dies
i realize I'm sentimental
but you didn't have to get so mental
bout the time that i spent all
of your money to buy donuts
relationships are temporary
i'm left with bittersweet memories
everyone eventually becomes a stranger
"but that's just how life is, so what?"
you make it hard to say goodbye
and i'm so tired of your lies
i think it's about time i cut ties
it seems every single bond dies
reminiscing back on pictures
my longing for the past has gotten worse
i'm holding onto words that were said
funny how a moment can last a lifetime in my head
in my head
in my head
in my head
so many days i wasted
thinking bout you
all of the stress you caused
has been killing me
so many days i wasted
thinking bout you
all of the stress you caused
has been killing me
you make it hard to say goodbye
and I'm so tired of your lies
i think it's about time i cut ties
it seems every single bond dies
you make it hard to say goodbye
and I'm so tired of your lies
i think it's about time i cut ties
it seems every single bond dies

my heart held in
your palm, squeezed dry
bleeding onto the floor
drops, how they fall without a sound
drops, how they fall without a sound
endure it, do not fret
dissonance
you are my guiding light,
at the same time, my worst plight
my will escapes me like a kite
emotions bottled up
kept out of sight
hid in shadows
thrown to the side
hid in shadows
thrown to the side
worthlessly trudging through the mess
and searching the recess
of feelings i possess
blur the brain, how i detest
my heart held in
your palm, squeezed dry
bleeding onto the floor
drops, how they fall without a sound
drops, how they fall without a sound

there it is again, my looming insecurity
days when my head is held high are a rarity
I'm not depressed, but I'm not okay
I'm not depressed, but I've contemplated for the fifth time today

erase me.

today i wrote my
suicide letter
i didn't know how you
would react, would you cry?
when i die, will you lie
to yourself? erase me?
i'll leave this world
all behind
no longer, will I
suffer these feelings
no longer, will I
burden these people
i once knew
past mistakes.
all the fakes, all the fakes
and the double takes
fake smiles, countless trials
fake smiles, countless trials
all my life, I never thought
these battles fought,
would lead to this
in the end i lost
today i wrote my
suicide letter
i didn't know how you
would react, would you cry?
when i die, will you lie
to yourself? erase me.

candlewick heart
you might be wondering, what is a candlewick heart? to me it represents a love that burns passionately, but one that quickly fades into ash. An unforgettable, bittersweet, short-lived romance.
candlewick heart recommends:
Every song here is amazing. They have such a unique indie emo sound that I just can't get tired of.
go to album
If I had to describe this album in 3 words, it'd be short and sweet. Only ONE out of the 10 tracks actually break the 3 min mark, but it's not a bad thing. They're just good ol catchy angsty songs.
go to album
D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L
by Panchiko
The backstory behind this band is so intriguing. That aside, all the tracks here have a Radiohead-esque vibe that works really well.
