lyrics

BOAT ABANDONED

you play it cool, but the room is full of tension
can’t you see we’re at a point where worlds collide
still it feels like you’re just not paying attention
to the crumbling walls and all those warning signs

I’m not superstitious, I just don’t trust your decisions
and I’ll always keep my ears close to the wall

and every single night, we bicker and we fight
oh please come get me outta here, just getting high was always what I wanted
but now these days just make me tired and the nights make me feel haunted
I’m trapped here in this nightmare become real

3am but you’re far away from sleeping
racing thoughts and oh your sheets are soaking wet
the nightlights they don’t care about your self doubt
and the rainy morning clouds don’t seem to mind

I’m not superstitious, I just don’t trust your decisions
and I’ll always keep my feet ready to run

and every single night, we bicker and we fight
oh please come get me outta here, just getting by was never what I wanted
and now my feet are oh so tired, I just took it all for granted
I’m trapped here and I don’t know how to feel

hey, it’s not your fault that I keep pushing away
but I find comfort in not staying in one place
found remedy in between someone else’s sheets
a boat abandoned never saying how I really feel

it’s all just lies (even though) I’ll deny (it’s all fake)
all just lies don’t know what makes me stay

Not Like This
by Iron Chic

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸 ©ough©ool
