peeling back the bandaids on ur knees
and out come the secrets u can’t keep
if the clouds knew ur name they'd pull some strings
everything would fall into place
we can share headphones on the bus ride home
show me the songs u wrote that u think are dumb
i like the way you take up space
inside of my brain
and if ur feeling down
i’ll pick up ur pieces
and glue them back
and i keep on trying
to make sure ur not dying
are u alive???? are u alive???????
you've got the time to figure it out
walk down your block and into your house
think about the people that love you most
when you're feeling alone
you know you've got the world inside of ur hands
but you still wait around for a second chance
everyone is trying to be someone else
but ur a different kind
Chamber pop with lyrics that are alternately wry and confessional, Oropendola creates whole worlds built on purposeful keyboard melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
