about

In the middle of the summer of '16 I woke up and decided, definitively, that I was gay. I've since come to learn more about myself, and I've realised that one's sexuality can be much more complex than it first seems. I wrote this in a fit of romantic rage in the latter part of August that year. Good times!

lyrics

Bright lights and the sound of laughter should
Be more appealing but
All I want to
Do is cry

The people I'm with slowly
Losing their drinks at the
Same rate as they
Lose their minds

But in my head I am
Turning tricks as I
Dream about what you'll be
Like

Will you have that
Dark brown hair I
Think about every
Night?

And when we meet will
I repeat my-
Self out of flustered
Plain-faced delight?

Friendly conversation
Hangs on my lips as I
Think about you
Late at night

Suddenly I'm struck with grief as
I remember that you're just a figment of
My own mind
Softly teasing me

And I remember that
You're not real and I
Should not linger on
You

You probably
Don't exist and
That's really hard to
Swallow

But that doesn't mean that
I can't dream a-
Bout you at least 'til
Tomorrow

I'll see you in my dreams
