it takes everything in me just to face the sky
pitch black, but i see no stars tonight
in the back of the benz, please take my life
murder me for my sins, it’ll be alright
always try to keep my head down, whispering
soft thoughts to the pavement, innocent
lies twisted in my throat, indifference
i am cold, i am nothing, i am emptiness
withdrawals, i thought it was getting better
knocked out, always dragging through southern weather
time kills, only breaks down if you let it
i’m so fucked, can’t go on like this forever
sobriety and me, i don’t feel alive
just another day just another lie
you see everything in me in a darker light
every time i breathe feels like i’m dying
i still try to lift my head up and take it
every conversation is dissonance
every interaction, disinterested
hollow chest, hollow tongue, i’m collapsing
withdrawals, i thought it was getting better
(turns out that i’m still face down tonight)
knocked out, always dragging through southern weather
(i can’t feel my body, nothing’s working right)
time kills, only breaks down if you let it
(i don’t have it in me to put up a fight)
i’m so fucked, can’t go on like this forever

João Rocha's debut is a stimulating mix of Música Popular Brasileira, experimental electronica, and hip-hop, arranged like a punk mix tape. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 13, 2023
Truly fascinating to see an artist reinvent himself in such a unique way. BACK TO YOU was one of the first WPSE song I've heard and I got hooked. Jordan
