"I wrote this when I was seventeen"

from At Home​/​Not Home Pt​.​2 by Defne

lyrics

1-2-3-4
My head is an atom
A solar system of its own
My eyes, they scare
Just like a phantom's
I'll never find my way home

I follow the bluish black substance above
The rain blotches on my glasses
Guide me through alleys and doorways
And longways and sideways and hallways

I remember some little details like the ways you moved
Your tangled hair and white patches on your teeth
The small things, you just didn't care
I was never your priority

Your glassy eyes and
Boring
You were boring

Now I'm free (probably)
But my dreams are filled with
Coffee stains and soft fingers
At my windowpane

I resolve you're the reason for my worn-down soles.
You keep me so tangled up in sighs that I drag my feet.

Defne is a bedroom pop musician from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Their fragile songs of heartache and longing hum with the energy of anticipation. The spaces between falling snowflakes. A sideways glance across a crowded venue. Grass stains on the ankles of your jeans as you run home at 2 in the morning past darkened windows and empty playgrounds. ... more
