we were talking on the hall phone
you said your boyfriend finally scored
now I've got a little something they call
h a e m o c h r o m a t o s i s
but I'll stay up if you wanna talk some more


In half my dreams I can't move
But even when I can I can't save you
And I don't know why I still try
I've been told you're doing fine.
You're pretty damn capable
But I think about you all the time
I found those notes that you left me
While rummaging around my old room.
And every conversation came back to me at once
I remembered every time you said I wasn't enough.
I tried, yeah I tried
But I maybe I shouldn't have
Maybe I made things worse
Maybe all you wanted was to not get hurt.

my name is yvette pyke, i use they/them pronouns
we have been 7 hour darkness invasion

Oh I regret every minute I spent arguing with you
I'm sorry for all those phonecalls that stole our summer afternoons.
I just didn't realise that as things stood there was no hope
Should've listened to the newsboys cause then I would've known.

God's not dead he's surely alive he's living on the inside roaring like a lion
God's not dead he's surely alive he's living on the inside roaring like a lion

I know that just seems like a pretty sad excuse
But if it's any consolation I'm not forgiving you.
I'll never forget being called pathetic
When I wasn't up for sex
Or when you defended your new boyfriend
For calling me a faggot.
Holding on to my anger cause it feels like all I have
I still fantasise about murdering your dad.
Cause I know I can't make things better
I can't even make things change
But you always did want me to write you something

If I told you that I love you
Would you listen
Would you care
If I told you that I love you
Would you just stand and stare
If I told you that I love you
Would you smile
Would you cry
If I told you that I love you
Would it make you feel like you could die
If I told you that I love you
Would you realise you don't need them
If I told you that I love you
Would you walk away again
If I told you that I love you
Would you say that you love me
Would that be the end
Would you get out of my dreams

God is an abuser who knows exactly how we think
And he's with us all the time keeping control of everything
Que sera sera
We never stood a chance
We'll never be enough cause that's not his plan
You still live with your parents
I'm still way too attached
You're still fucking pretentious
I'm still a slow motion car crash
But one day we'll stop believing that we deserve this pain
Cause maybe God ain't dead yet but I swear I'll find a way


and nobody is falling in love
everybody here needs a shove
and nobody is coming undone
everybody here is afraid of fun
and nobody is getting any touch
everybody thinks that it needs too much
and nobody is getting any play
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
it's the saddest night out in the usa
