Is there something wrong being
A two sided person
Cause my brain is uncertain
And my body is broken
And I, I let myself go
Got me tattooed on your body
To keep on reminding
Got your smoke on my breath so
I keep on forgetting
Call me a pansy cause I’ll keep growing back
But I’ll always be afraid of the hurt
And once you get to know me I bet you’ll understand
I won’t blame you for leaving so early
There’s two sets of thought when
I wake up from dreaming
Will I ever cease self sabotage
Is it hard wired into me
I guess I’ll never be able to stop myself
Got me tattooed on your body
To keep on reminding
Got your smoke on my breath so
I keep on forgetting
Call me a pansy cause I’ll keep growing back
But I’ll always be afraid of the hurt
And I’ll write your name on the side of my cigarette
So I’ll always recognize you’re poison

A self proclaimed, half time pixie
Asks a tree why he cannot move
Except when there's a breeze
Except when there someone else to
Do it for him
Why won't you do it for me
Prime time for hitting someone with your car
About time to be killing myself with your breath
And the worst part about this is that you're not the person I thought you'd be
Gotta stop believing in sirens and fairy rings
His green thumb made flowers spring in her garden dreams of reality
Even though she knew of the consequences
Being so close to something that might do
Nothing
Don't do nothing for me
I know what those hands can do
Memories assure me all the same
Reel me in with one last look
Prick me with all of your thorns
Curse my blood and bones
I'll be cursing yours the same but
I know that those hands are capable
The love's still there just not the people

Kiss me like a toad
Maybe I'll turn into the prince
You've always wanted me to be
Though my life's a mess
I'll try my hardest to become
A piece of royalty on
Your chess board
All I've ever dreamt of
Is your caress on my scaly cheek
Hold me until my pond
Can dissolve into this wretched dirt
My mind cannot comprehend
The thought of being alone
Forever
Kiss me like you mean it
I know my cracked lips and
Blank stare aren't what
You're used to
I believe you can feel it
Like the breeze that touches the back of your ears
I'm the lily that blooms behind
Your heels
All I've ever dreamt of
Your hand on my slimey skin
Hold me until my knees give out
Let me sink into the earth beneath me
My mind cannot comprehend
The thought of being alone
Forever
All I've ever dreamt of is
Is to be a star in your empty skies
Hold me until my lungs cave in
And I'm gasping for more oxygen
My mind cannot comprehend
The thought of being alone
Forever
I don't want to be alone
Forever

Right now I’m
3 beers in and I can’t feel my toes
Creating confidence in absence of my filter
And my emotions tend to get the best of me
And my thoughts will always be the death of me
I can’t stop it now
I can’t change anything now
Can’t decide if self medication is actually helping
I can be an orchid
If you look at me in the right way
But I promise that
I’ll break you in half
(If you let me)
I can bite real hard
Just for a little attention
Cause I needed that
But you looked away
(And you let me)
‘Volatile’ should be
Plastered on forehead forewarning
All of those who dare to take me on
Your mistake was thinking you could
Mine was getting caught up in your lies
Can’t say I’m surprised for being so foolish but
Can’t stop these thoughts
Can’t change my flaws
Its okay
I’m alright
I can be an orchid
If you look at me in the right way
But I promise that
I’ll break you in half
(If you let me)
I can bite real hard
Just for a little attention
Cause I needed that
But you looked away
(And you let me)
But I get it if you hate me
After all everyone forgave me
For a fuck up we all blamed you for
In the end we were two dumb kids
And we both made dumb decisions
Can’t go back
And rewrite the past
I’ll admit that I’m unsure if my anger is justified
But yours is and I’ll take what I deserve
To you I was an orchid
Cause you looked at me in the right way
But I promise that
I broke you in fucking half
(Cause you let me)
I bit you real hard
Just for a little attention
Cause I needed that
But you looked away
(And you let me)
I needed you but
You walked away
(And you let me)
Didn’t want to hurt ya but
What can I say?
You fucking let me

Hersilia Edmonton, Alberta
Edmonton’s emo darlings Hersilia write songs with the
raucous energy of a can of Lucky Lager at the dingiest house
show,
featuring lyrics with the tender insight of a lonely single-malt nightcap
when the party is over. Their LP Rot & Rebirth refines the sound they started
developing with their 2018 EP Concrete Flora, and sands down the rough
edges of that EP while preserving it’s earnest charm.
