lyrics

Pastel shades in the early heat of May
But all I see is grey
Monochrome scenes feels like it’s all through a screen
But who am I to say what’s real

Is something wrong with me?
Rings like a silent scream
My sadness is compiling
It’s summer and I don’t feel like smiling

The long days shouldn’t feel this bleak
But it feels like I’m on a losing streak
The smell of suncream and salty air
I feel nothing and I don’t care

Is something wrong with me?
Rings like a silent scream
My sadness is compiling
It’s summer and I don’t feel like smiling

Air con and blackout blinds
I never mean to be unkind
Air con and blackout blinds
I never mean to be unkind
Air con and blackout blinds
I never mean to be unkind

The long days shouldn’t feel this bleak
But it feels like I’m on a losing streak
