lyrics

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. ... more
