also for some reason i feel like i need to explain: iceland because that winter i became obsessed with it and how beautiful it is and how much i wanted to go there.
lyrics
if i sing quietly in a crowded room about killing butterflies, would you know what it means?
if i sing quietly in a crowded room about killing myself, would you know what that means too?
if i die before 18
give all my things to charity
give my body to those in need
and spread my ashes in iceland
if i die before 18
please do not cry over me
give all these songs to all my friends
and tell my mom i’m sorry
sorry mom and dad i know i really let you down
sorry to all my friends you tried so hard to keep around
im lunar you see, in a bad place and on the downward trajectory,
but i know this is self-bred sadness in the end
this is all because of me
I’m doing this to myself and I’m the only one to blame
i know this is the cowards way out
but fear might as well be my first name
and my last breath will be used to sing this song to you
its written in scarlet letters that i could never speak
and i could never be enough-
not for you but only for myself you see,
i just can’t measure up to who i am supposed to be
in my own head so now I’m broken, scarred
but it’s not your fault, i promise you, its just that i-
i never knew what to do.
if i die before 18
please just tell me one more thing
will all my friends and family
be better off without me
hey, the sun’s gonna rise
we’ll be okay
the sun’s gonna rise
no night can last forever i know
i know it’s hard, i know it’s long,
i know its dark, and you’re all alone
but hey, the sun’s gonna rise
we’re all alive
we’re all survive
the sun’s gonna rise
