"Substance" lyrics
"Substance"
Tearing through the city in your Mercedez Benz
And I can't help thinking that this is all pretend
Took me to a party, introduced me as a friend
Did you even notice when I left?
You say one thing and you're doing the other
You're pulling me in but you're running for cover
Keep giving you loving
It's never enough, never enough
You're giving me nothing
It's fucking me up, fucking me up
I thought we had something, no
I'm looking for substance
I'm looking
After you stayed over, I invite you to my show
You made up some reason why you couldn't go
There without your friends
You come and watch me play
You act as if everything's okay
You say one thing and you're doing the other
You're pulling me in but you're running for cover
Keep giving you loving
But it's never enough, never enough
You're giving me nothing
It's fucking me up, fucking me up
I thought we had something, no
I'm looking for substance
I'm looking for
Driving through the city, doing 90 on the 10
I can't help thinking that this has to end
Took me to a party, introduced me
You introduced me as your friend
Keep giving you loving
It's never enough, never enough
You're giving me nothing
It's fucking me up, fucking me up
I thought we had something, no
I'm looking for substance
I'm looking
I want you to hold me
(I'm giving it up, giving it up)
You said you were lonely
(When you're living it up, living it up)
I thought we had something, no
I'm looking for substance
I'm looking

Asgeir - "Youth" Do you recall the things
That used to give us joy?
When our imagination
Could take us anywhere
In stormy winter weather
We built a house of snow
Do you remember how
Everyone from town
Used to go out...
Arlo Parks - "Creep" When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special...
Chet Faker - "Low" Just because I feel low, right now
It doesn't mean all that I've got has run out
Just because I feel low, right now
It doesn't mean all that I've got has run out
Look, whatever, I'm good
It's...
Sharon Van Etten - "Let Go" Brother's smile
Taking on its own
Identity
Only to then leave it behind
Foreign light in the afternoon
Held by what-be-nots
Stay until remembered
Here I'm standing
Ripped apart by albatross
Hanging...
The Rubens - "Muddy Evil Pain" In a while
I'll be wishing I had more time
To plan your escape
To lift that sadness away
If a smile
Would pull you back from the other side
I'd pinch both my cheeks
And tear them off of my face...
