Sitting at dwelling and ingesting

Been down this highway earlier than,
however nonetheless don’t know what to do
Don’t overlook you’re the one
that left my key in my again door

Filling up my previous like a cavity,

I’m in love with you child
however I don’t need you round
I’ll eat your shit ’til it rots
however I received’t be the one to put on your silver crown

Longing and craving collide with unadulterated grief and unresolved feelings as Seabird channels her personal vulnerability – and her unabating loneliness – right into a quiet, darkish, and delicate confessional:

Hate this music like a tooth ache,

Burn it right down to the bottom for you,

Hate the climate when it’s filter out,
much more when it rains
Perhaps I simply can’t cease
spreading round all my ache

sitting at dwelling and ingesting
I believe extra clearly
than if you have been round

ready so that you can say “okay”
Uninterested in being your rag doll
dragged round throughout the ground
No must express regret,
