Summer only got so far 01:56

I just woke up and it's dark outside Not the greatest thing for my mood Unproductive I'm still trying to cope with That I woke up and it's dark outside Summer only got so far Then turned away Another cloudy weekend, did you really say that Was it something I heard? This isn't what I hoped for I just woke up and it's dark outside Not the greatest thing for my mood Unproductive I'm still trying to cope with That I woke up and it's dark outside Summer only got so far Then turned away Another cloudy weekend, did you really say that Was it something I heard? Watch your business, do your step and I'll Buy another thing I don't need Unproductive I'm still trying to cope with A procrastinators overcoat Summer only got so far Then turned away Another rainy weekday, did you really say that I'm not sure that I heard

Dricka kaffe 03:07

Tråkigt att "trasigt" säger inget om innehållet Håller du på eller håller du endast med? Nu blir det andra bullar, kakor och mandeltårtor Träffar ni varandra eller sitter ni bara bredvid? Dricker lite kaffe men du gillar inte kaffe Går det bra med te? Faktiskt så tror jag att du snackar om saker som gör Dig populär Applåder, ja händer klappas, blindar dig så du inte Ser hur fel det är Applådera mer Dricker lite kaffe men du gillar inte kaffe Går det bra med te? Dricker lite kaffe men du gillar inte kaffe Går det bra med te? Är du med på det? Gillar du inte kaffe? Här ska man gilla kaffe om man är någon. Sverige är ett stort kaffekonsumentland, här samlas alla coola kaffekonsumenter och konsumerar kaffe. Gillar du inte kaffe får du inte vara med. Dricker lite kaffe men du gillar inte kaffe Går det bra med te? Dricker lite kaffe men du gillar inte kaffe Går det bra med te? Dricker lite kaffe men du gillar inte kaffe Går det bra med te? Är du med på det? Dricker lite kaffe men du gillar inte kaffe Går det bra med te? Dricker lite kaffe men du gillar inte kaffe Går det bra med te? Dricker lite kaffe men du gillar inte kaffe Går det bra med te? Dricker lite kaffe men du gillar inte kaffe Går det bra med te? Har letat väldigt länge efter saker som du gillar Kan jag hitta det?

Your day 02:50

I've been avoiding my reflection all day long I'm being haunted by a way better song I'm feeling meaningless from tiredness, but it keeps me away for a while Why's that wrong? I've grown to fondle all my insecurities I love procrastinating responsibilities I've been ignoring my own sleepiness and it keeps me awake for a while, not too long! I've been avoiding my reflection all day long And I am desperate to memorize this song It's not the world to me, but I'd rather be a coward than a functioning member of society That is a lie but it fits better than the other way I am a stutter when I have something to say When you're ostracized from friendliness, but you're not feeling happy any other way something's wrong! I'm not the first to take it slow It's been done before, sure as all is fair in love and war I'd rather take the game trail than pave my own way I hope I don't bother your day I'm not the first to take it slow It's been done before, sure as all is fair in love and war I'd rather take the game trail than pave my own way I hope I don't bother your day

I'd like to think we ended on a high note, Taking notes on things we did was hiking on a trail Snowy, covered in ice But I misread the signs Malfunction, trespassing not (allowed) A loud note was playing from the stereo Taken from the roof of your neighbours, acting cheery But really not wanting to believe their feet Shards in the waters Warn the fleet Try to climb that hill you said to me, It was steep and you were knowingly Subjecting me to harms way, but saturday nights Were blossoms in your eyes How could I refuse you? 90° I don't remember if I ever managed To run away that time When I told you I was going to Nevertheless, The paths of sand were bland Taught me nothing, but follow the twine A pen is writing scribbly lines Tell me what they say A house next to a garden Telling me to never stay But visit very often, you see Rooms inviting you Can make you feel familiar sense of sations Dreams awaiting not for me A waiting knot for me Ducky I feel sorry for your father And sorry for you I wish to be helping you But I don't know that I can help you I said as tears were running Away from me, taking the path of Least resistance down my cheeks, Now that I was human there was really not that much That I could do but I took a sponge And taped a picture to it Of a duck, my fatherless friend I am in Stockholm for a field trip But upon realizing school is over Summer's started I'm snapping out out At home my father's taking me to grandma We're picking cherries I am at grandma's picking cherries But upon realizing summer's fallen Fall has started I'm freaking out Where is that old man's house!? Is he dead? I want to see him A pen is writing scribbly lines Tell me what they say A house next to a garden Telling me to never stay But visit very often, you see Rooms inviting you Can make you feel familiar sense of sations Dreams

Snow globe wrappers I am tired of your Coughing matches Winner gets a fireplace Weigh your wages Place your bets Get your chores done Come to meet me Where we met Nice to see you Tell me who you are So I can be you Grab you by the collarbone Weigh your wages Place your bets Get your chores done Come to meet me Where we met You are an impeccable derange I am the despicable arrangement For a better day, when you're on your own And I am all alone You are an impeccable derange I am the despicable arrangement For a better day, when you're on your own And I am all alone Let me guide you Tell me what you want and I will tie you Forever to this place Nice to see you Tell me who you want to be I'll deem you Someone I forgot about Weigh your wages Place your bets Get your chores done Come to meet me Where we met All your medals Are regrets Don't you want to Come to meet me? Where we met Where you're on your own Where I'm all alone Where you're on your own At least we think so...

Curl me up Put me in a jar Close the lid Throw me at the wall Pick me up and fit me in a vase Turn me to the window to watch cars But never say a single word to me Hemlock shake Makes me think of you Wedlock too One becoming two Jealousy can breed another being Who'll stop you by and ask you what you're seeing, and ask you to Never say a single word to me My nail clippings never spoke to me You could learn a thing or two from them All I want now is for you to leave Cut me up Do me what you want No demand An honorable taunt Courtesy has lost me once again Ignore me like you do with all your friends Radiate no ounce of interest For keeping up with who I most detest

Lilla söta lilja kan du inte sluta titta På min haka, ingen brådska Måste ut innan det åskar Och beslutet du tar Du slipade och skar dig Lilla söta lilja spricker upp där nere Asfalten är inte som du trodde Under skorna som du skodde Men i drömmen du har Du mördade din far Handen plockade en blomma tidigt Handen plockade din blomma tidigt Du som aldrig hade blommat tidigt Du som önskat att du blommat tidigt Inga dagar kom som ströp den dagen För det spred en konstig känsla i magen Mer än bara vanligt obehag Denna dag Lilla söta lilja kan du inte sluta titta På min haka, ingen brådska Måste ut innan det åskar Och beslutet du tar Du slipade och skar dig Lilla söta lilja spricker upp där nere Asfalten är inte som du trodde Under skorna som du skodde Men i drömmen du har Du mördade din far Drömmen slog dig som en flaska i huvudet Där du slog honom en flaska i huvudet Med samma flaska som han supit sig Samma flaska som han vattnat dig Alla tankar kom och flög och fläktade Ska du stanna eller ska du ursäkta? Ska du fly eller ska du fäkta? Vi får se Lilla söta lilja kan du inte sluta titta På min haka, ingen brådska Måste ut innan det åskar Och beslutet du tar Du slipade och skar dig Lilla söta lilja spricker upp där nere Asfalten är inte som du trodde Under skorna som du skodde Men i drömmen du har Du mördade din far Lilja var ska du ta vägen nu Var ska du ta vägen nu Var ska du ta vägen? Lilja var ska du ta vägen nu Var ska du ta vägen Var ska du ta vägen nu? Lilja var ska du ta vägen nu Var ska du ta vägen nu Var ska du ta vägen? Lilja var ska du ta vägen nu Var ska du ta vägen Var ska du ta vägen nu? Lilja, sommaren är slut Lilja, sommaren är slut Lilla söta lilja kan du inte sluta titta På min haka, ingen brådska Måste ut innan det åskar Och beslutet du tar Du slipade och skar dig Lilla söta lilja spricker upp där nere Asfalten är inte som du trodde Under skorna som du skodde Men i drömmen du har Du mördade din far

Lullaby sing-along 03:52
lyrics

Take a new perspective Show another view There is really nothing I would rather do If it's working for your picture Doesn't mean it works for you To sing along the lullaby Take a new inspection Your reliance view Put me in your mouth and close it Swallow, chew If it's working for your shadow Doesn't mean it works for you To sing along the lullaby You could fall asleep and never die You could wake up to your waking life Put on your aspirations, they will flourish too Put out your inner passion, fire's bad for you If it's working for your puppet, doesn't mean it works for you To sing along the lullaby Free your inhibitions, they will follow you Strip you off the skin and take their toll on you Let me hold you tight and fall asleep with you There is really nothing I would rather do Just because it works for you it doesn't mean you want me to Sing another lullaby

Everything before and after sleep 05:50

Trying hard to fall asleep at night Day is for the morning light It's not worth waking up if I can't see the sunrise I don't know why, but I can't look you in the eyes Climbing up your rigid back Your skull is broken but your head's intact The view from here's incredible And I don't reckon it's impossible For you to throw away your favourite hair dyes Your neon strands, the colour of skies You feel at home, but I wonder why Your hair falls out It withers and dies Staying up discarding sleep at night Waiting on the northern lights I can't bother discerning woeful sights From the beauty of your diamond kites I can't help feeling like the catcher in the rye Every time you try to look me in the eye I remember feeling horrible A tired evening made it possible For me to forget what I was to know All I remember is I miss it so Trying hard to fall asleep at night Seeing off the evening light It's not worth waking up to what I want but despise I don't know why I want to look you in the eyes

about

One bonus track for those who download!

Originally named Distant Life; however, it was a shit name only decided on because I couldn't think of anything else. Then, when I realized that many of the songs were about summer ending (which I didn't like), I renamed it the fall after summer. It was originally the fall of summer, which I thought was really clever, but I found out that tons of other stuff were called that already.
