about

This is the single off of our upcoming debut EP, titled "Regret"

lyrics

I used to underline the fact that I almost had the opportunity to fly
But instead of clipping my wings, they just nailed me to the ground
And now I hate the fact that I could see through mountains of lies,
But I couldn't see through you this time

Waste my time staring at my feet
Everything I thought I knew turned out to be deceit
Burned me up, I thought that I was gold
But apparently I'm nothing more than a lump of coal

You're feeding off the sympathy for your fake insecurities
I can see through the lies you spit through your teeth
I don't really care what I say this line
I can see through the bullshit you've fed me all my life

Waste my time staring at my feet
Everything I thought I knew turned out to be deceit
Burned me up, I thought that I was gold
But apparently I'm nothing more than a lump of coal
