about

For my introverts

lyrics

Conversation, misinformation, I just want to enjoy some relaxation
But you keep begging and in my head don't wanna let you down
I'm antisocial, you never no show, say staying locked in the house isn't good for ya
Get off your chair and forget your cares we're getting out of town
I'm stuck to you like static cling, and while I'd never shake you
I want to tell you what I think, but if I did you wouldn't hear me now

When are you gonna learn this ain't my cup of tea?
I'd really like if you could stop dragging me to these things
When are you gonna learn this ain't for everyone?
Putting my health at risk just isn't my idea of fun
When are you gonna learn that while you're feeling free
It's feeling like these walls are slowly closing in on me?
When are you gonna learn it's not just about you?
If you can't get that through your thick skull you and me are screwed

You brought me out here encircled by fear, I wish it would calm me down to know that you're near
You try to assure me as I go through security everything's fine
Realization, there's no consideration, all you care about's going on your vacation
I want to get away, but my heart's making me stay no matter how hard I try
I'm stuck to you like static cling, not strong enough to shake you
I want to tell you what I think, but if I screamed you wouldn't hear my shouts

When are you gonna learn this ain't my cup of tea?
I'd really like if you could stop dragging me to these things
When are you gonna learn this ain't for everyone?
Putting my health at risk just isn't my idea of fun
When are you gonna learn that while you're feeling free
It's feeling like these walls are slowly closing in on me?
When are you gonna learn it's not just about you?
If you can't get that in your head humanity is through

I'm balled up in the corner, can't find my happy place
The world's a blur through my tears, don't wanna see your face
I'm balled up in the corner, can't find my happy place
The world's a blur through my tears, don't wanna see your face
I'm balled up in the corner, can't find my happy place
You're dead to me I don't need you, got to find my own strength
I'm balled up in the corner, can't find my happy place
I don't care what you're saying, I'm getting out this place

When are you gonna learn this ain't my cup of tea?
I'd really like if you could stop dragging me to these things
When are you gonna learn this ain't for everyone?
Putting my health at risk just isn't my idea of fun
When are you gonna learn that while you're feeling free
It's feeling like these walls are slowly closing in on me?
When are you gonna learn it's not just about you?
If you can't get that through your thick skull you and me are screwed
If you can't get that in your head humanity is through
Since you would rather everyone be dead I'm leaving you

about

Emil Beckford Buffalo, New York

I'm a Buffalo-based alt electronic soul singer/songwriter/producer trying to make music that won't bore me in 5 years. I love synths, fake jazz chords, and singing higher than my vocal chords want me to. I draw inspiration from soul artists, masters of harmony, gospel icons, people who just make you feel some kind of way, and everyone in between. ... more
