lyrics

Lately I’ve been trying,
To fall asleep without taking something.
Cause lately I’ve been drinking,
or anything to keep me from thinking...
About how everything’s turning out.

If I looked you in the face and told you life lost it’s taste,
Would that be better than lying, saying everything’s okay?
Been looking for a release, just give me anything please.
If somethings gonna give in, I think it’s gonna be me.

Maybe I deserve this,
I’ve done some things that were far less than perfect.
Maybe I want this, cause lately I like feeling worthless.
And now, I’m gonna let you down.

If I looked you in the face and told you life lost it’s taste,
Would that be better than lying, saying everything’s okay?
Been looking for a release, just give me anything please.
If somethings gonna give in, I think it’s gonna be…
I think it’s gonna be me.

Lately I’ve been trying,
But falling short, and still feeling nothing.
Maybe, my worst is my best.
(We. Are. A. Mess.)

If I looked you in the face and told you life lost it’s taste,
Would that be better than lying, saying everything’s okay?
Been looking for a release, just give me anything please.
If somethings gonna give in, I think it’s gonna be…
I think it’s gonna be me.

Maybe my worst is my best.
(We. Are. A. Mess.)

about

Kids Losing Sleep Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia

Fresh but familiar, Kids Losing Sleep is an emotionally driven machine that draws clear reference to modern pop classics through a tried-and-true band dynamic.

Occasionally touching on their darker sides between big shiny choruses, the group wears their influences on their sleeves. With lyrics that read like poetry and pull from the somber side of life.

It's heartbreak you can dance to. ... more
