Lyrics

Desolate Town

[Verse 1] I've been feeling alright After what went down Well no, I have no friends In the desolate town And I don't wanna let you in No I don't wanna let you in Oh I'm not gonna let you in [Chorus] But you in the summer Soaking all the mess you made Suffocating the bloom Well, I was in a take 'bout you [Verse 2] Said you were in the clan Why am I not surprised Basking through filtered lights In the desolate light [Chorus] But you in the summer Soaking all the mess you made Suffocating the bloom Well, I was in a take 'bout you [Post-Chorus] Just on a daydream Why am I not surprised Bashing through This desolate light Oh, to be bad Don't wanna save myself just let it grow Tangy, where I aim to go [Interlude] [Chorus] But you in the summer Soaking all the mess you made Suffocating the bloom Well, I was in a take 'bout you [Post-Chorus] Just on a daydream Why am I not surprised Bashing through This desolate light To be bad Don't wanna save myself just let it grow Tangy, where I aim to go
