freyacantsleep Like being a fly on the wall of a teenager writing songs in their bedroom. Fantastic ideas under that good old lo-fi charm. Favorite track: Four Castles.

1.
Hannah 02:39
To lie and say I'm sorry to you Could save my life once you're feeling well Couldn't say I knew you better back then But I'd say I've moved past living hell Come on Hannah, you know we run so deep Hannah, I'll love you in my sleep Come on Hannah, you know not what you need Hannah always stays so far beneath
2.
Fort Nothing 01:05
I let you fuck me like you wanted I let you hope you want to die I let you swear to solemn friends I let you look them in the eye I shouldn't have called you I shouldn't have called you I let it eat me like you wanted And nothing burdens me like time I let you swear to solemn friends You kneaded attention with every lie I shouldn't have called you And I'm not scared to hang your life I don't care to know you I don't care to spare your mind The ceiling is bending to take you to the side
3.
Walls of future are promising Open the hallway door and leave
4.
I Heard It 01:33
Moved but I heard it Gone and you're perfect I go there up on the hill I'm nowhere up on the hill I go there up on the hill Let me stay about your curve Up and around inside your life You wait on something to change And end up wanting more I need you walking around, I need you walking around To lift your head can take your whole life There is no shame in what you pass on Easy thinking half we say is what we do
5.
Holy Union 03:37
White lid undoes this holy union My kingdom's gone, all things conclude Will grey align come down to judge me and fuck my conscience for when I left The meeting pulls a final heart string Brought up to speed, the silver moon One sect to be raised in One life to waste on my faith Supported cause I was a witness I fell in love with my best friend and nothing could help that, No one can put me out White lid undoes my holy promise My favorite friend, all things conclude Now by choice, you'll never see me and now I think that's fine, it's all fine
6.
When all was red I woke up in your head and all the steps keep moving down It can't be too hard to just get better "It's what we should do" and if it's too hard I'll try to get through again if I cannot be a part I don't remember after I hit the ground I don't remember what was left to be found and I don't remember what I said but I want you around

Trophy Boy 00:48
She found the trophy boy One last resort for joy She talks to him every day He doesn't have a lot to say I'm sorry, I'm just tired She's breeding upstairs I don't want to go up there Years I'll wait for the day she turns around and she takes the trophy boy down
12.
Carriers 01:42
You're a walking target You're a carrier on the inside forever You complete half of your life Take no lesson from experience forever It moves through me to know you're here Don't move to me but stay near I can't save my seat all your life I can't promise it will feel right I can't say that it won't feel like forever
13.
Nowhere 04:55
Everything that we see, including the death of loved ones, is not reality. It's what we do not yet see and what we understand with our eyes of faith and understanding, that's the permanence. That's the way life is going to be and will always be. So, whether in this circumstance or in other circumstances that are very difficult for us to cope with from day to day, we must spend time meditating and thinking about which is unseen.
14.
Stupid 02:28
Stay sane, you don't have to like it, just got to live by it Just to be safe, if you can't escape it you might as well try it When I was inside I saw something when all my friends started leaving I thought I had it but looks were deceiving, stupid for believing I sit on the street for another round I think to myself "where could I be now?" With you in a better town and then I take to the days that we knew soon we would stop trying The night you left, there was something good in us, we knew it was dying I know how it feels to be not around I know how you feel and it brings me down Lay down and sleep now, forget about it Sleep right tonight, live without it
15.
Four Castles 03:06
Fuck the one in disarray I'm not leaving here today Put me on a silver cage Put me on the basement stage When you come, you have the say One anxious night to keep me still If I don't stop now, I never will

Aratron 02:55
17.
Laura's Room 02:20
Something that was so hard to do: Leaving the truth Who inhabits this world? Who inhabits this world?
18.
Warp 03:58
Stretching out my hand where I know you can see it You stay inside, vacuum resides til the day that you free it Stop sighing in undertone Sleep with who you dare Love is grating, I'm not waiting It's a shame you care We're sinking, it's easy How could you know? Now I hold him as he's draining Something can't be said Wait to appear, there's no safe here You hang down, white and red
19.
The months seek to drag when they want to The suicidal season is here The hotline is hiring workers And everybody needs a peer The southern lights flashed through the night sky As I found I'd never get that high And I've found its so hard to gloat About the songs I wish I wrote
20.
The thought of leaving you someday put a hole in me With someone boring, far away from our small city Should I come back when we can drink again Should I sleep in your room every now and then? Little reasons make you stay, like a rope thought out I'm only hurting for a day, don't know what about Here she comes like a door, an open backwards door With one night stands to change my mind I can't stand everything I find I'll come in through the back door baby And I'll be there should something else fall through I know all of what made you hate me Was in my head, it's not worth what we do I can come back in your life baby Even though we know what we came to

Laundromat 03:27
23.
The man without a name arrived to die for all our sins He understood our pain, he knew the struggle we were in The loss was overwhelming but we could tell the end was near The job is over and I've been waiting for you here and don't forget it's all you get, one more
24.
Down the stairs, tell me what you can We don't have a plan, we're on your side Red flashers through the park Driving through the dark one last time Have a beautiful life inside the basement Down the stairs, is it in your heart? Down where it stays dark?
25.
Traffic lights, you know where your place is Traffic lights, you're kissing their faces Traffic lights, you know where you stand All you say's been said, coming from a friend You've growing up to do, until then no one stays with you Traffic lights, you glow in the darkness Traffic lights, you kill me with kindness Traffic lights, keep kissing their faces Traffic lights, you'll know where your place is
