about

welcome to the prequel era - i wrote this song around may earlier this year, a bit after i dropped my debut single. i was going through a lot, processing a lot, and the best way for me to understand it all was through music. this is quite different from RIMH, a 180° shift really, but i wanted to establish where my headspace (and songwriting ability) is at right now as opposed to 2 years ago (like most of my material). i hope you guys... enjoy it!

lyrics

I have you muted everywhere
I'm sorry, I don't understand it either
I'm just another failed statistic
I should just accept that I'm the invisible catalyst

Your frequent sugar-filled slideshows and
Corinthian displays of her got me screaming bloody murder
The girl after me didn't even hurt like this
Maybe it's because this time, she reminds me of me

That you do everything with her
Everything we couldn't do
That you do everything with her
Everything we never got the chance to

You do everything with her
Everything we never did
You do everything with her
Everything we were never given the chance to

Why is it that she comes from the same origin as me
Why is it that she is trying to be me
Why is it that you will only talk to me about the little things
And why is it that I give in so easily all the time

It will always kill me, the way

That you do everything with her
Everything we couldn't do
That you do everything with her
Everything we never got the chance to

You do everything with her
Everything we never did
You do everything with her
Everything we were never given the chance to

I did a double-take
when I saw your face
My unrecognisable mistake
It's like I'm looking at a grave

Time warp to when we were 22
For I'm your ghost, you're my muse
Too far to love, too close for comfort
You've buried me deep in your closet

No one you know knows about us
But everyone adores her
So I guess it makes sense

That you do everything with her
Everything we couldn't do
That you do everything with her
Everything we never got the chance to

You do everything with her
Everything we never did
You do everything with her
Everything you never gave us the chance to
