In bloom, you sing
Such beautiful colours
What a shame
In this world, that beauty alerts the others
Fray from the light
‘Till you see it
I’m gone
“Stare into my eyes
I’ll show you who I am inside
It’s simple I’m certain from behind the curtain
It’s in your hands this time”
Colours are swirling
Now that we’re falling
What are the odds?
Now that we’re falling
Colours are swirling
Why were you lost?
Inside a room of red
Through the window
Just know you found me
So now you know
“Stare into my eyes
I’ll show you who I am inside
It’s simple I’m certain from behind the curtain
It’s in your hands this time”
And still, it wasn’t enough to make you say
“What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”

[@hana-qk9ct]

I remember how I came to loathe. I fell asleep on a thursday night, on my bed. my phone was off. I woke up. I don't know the time anymore but I think it was early in the morning. maybe 3 or 4 AM. my phone fell off my bed. this song was playing. I first thought I was imagining the melody but it was really playing. full volume. I am glad my dad didn't wake up but I was so shocked. It was such a good song and it was exactly my music taste. so, I opened my phone, went to spotify and put the song into my favorites. I think other songs were playing before this one, since it was a playlist and I don't have premium some other songs that spotify recommends me just come into the playlist too. a sad cartoon was one of them. and I am glad it was like that. I turned my phone off and went to sleep. since that day I always listen to loathe. and I also found other bands that are similiar to them, too.

[@XoxoSara13]

woah that's amazing!

[@TrealFOET]

Lol thats how i heard them too. I fell asleep listening to hail the sun and woke up this morning and a song by loathe was playing so here i am youtube'ing them lol
