I can wake up when I like
There’s no easy way to fall asleep at night
Airplanes swarm the globe above my dreaming conscious
I’m still in control
I can tell myself a lie
Everything’s performative so why wouldn’t I?
Causal cold and calculating charming when I’m cornered
I’m still in control
I had a fear when I was just a sunburned little summer kid
Played with trash and broken glass out digging in the burn pit
Every plane that passed above was the Russians finally bombing
I’m still in control

Ooh into this straight away. Was feeling death cab vibes from that intro. Great idea to hold off on the drums for as long as you did, gives them great impact when they come in. The swells of the guitar around that stereo keys part is a really lovely effect. The drum rolls in the latter vocal section are so different but fit really well. Swells to that huge hit and splashy cymbals, and I start feeling some early Jimmy Eat World at this point. The mix is really interesting in this section as the drums are so on top, it engulfs the vocal and that fits really well with the lyrical theme. Great work!

Wait what?! Professional production all the way. Interestering way if writing lyrics. Why does this remind me a lot of Livingston when they started?!

Beautiful instrumentation, and your vocals are so soulful and honest. The lyrics really resonate with me, especially that last verse. The freeform style of the lyrics is really interesting and captivating.
