Home Alone 07:16
Finally I'm home After discovering the unknowns Yo La Tengo's “Ohm” Is in my headphones I collapsed onto the bed instantly With the single thought in my head Somebody kill me But I'm home alone Somebody kill me But I'm home alone Seventeen towns in a short time Wish I could remember the last one For two months we've not seen the sun We drank a ton of beers. I'm done Sixteen towns of brown Russia The view from the train window is incredibly sad My pale face needs a bit of blusher Cause I look unhealthy, really bad Finally I'm home I ain't got the strength to roam anymore My body says, “come on, move on” But the voice in my head says Somebody kill me But I'm home alone Somebody kill me But I'm home alone Somebody hug me Somebody stroke me Somebody calm me down Calm me down

My Bad 03:32
Don't give me another chance I'll let you down Don't give me another chance ‘Cause I'll let you down Don't give me another chance To let you down Don't give me no quarter I'm sorry for all the wrong that I've done For all the lies that I've told I'm sorry My fault I'm sorry for all your hopes that I've ruined For all the tests that I've failed I'm sorry My bad Don’t worry, I’ll keep my distance from you Someone will step into my shoes If that’s what you want then we’re through I’m saying goodbye (Прощай!) I guess our friendship expired And of each other we are so tired You go your way and I’ll go mine I’ll go mine Surprise! Everything gradually dies But though we did fight we had times Good times Good times Good times Good times Sorry I feel for my future self For wasted time and lost friends I'm sorry, but it doesn't help Sorry, the word that I should have said But when it was expected of me It was left unsaid My bad

When I talk to her I wanna kill myself Every time I hang out with that girl I try to escape by force of habit, of course She will only kiss me when we're both drunk Every night to figure her out I try By force of habit, of course All I have said before doesn't matter anymore All I have sung in this song doesn't really matter The first verse I wrote a month ago Now my life has changed for the better Na na na na na Things do change so suddenly And I can't catch up with my reality My face wears a frown Though I'm not trying to drag her down Just don't get too happy, slow down It's force of habit And here it's coming to screw up everything (All you have said before doesn't matter anymore All you have sung in this song doesn't really matter The third verse you wrote a week ago Now your life has changed for the better Na na na na na) Things do change so suddenly All I have said before doesn't matter anymore (All you have sung in this song doesn't really matter) This part I wrote a day ago (Now your life has changed for the better) Na na na na na Things do change so suddenly And I can't catch up with my vague reality Force of habit

She knows the latest trends Look at her Instagram She has so many friends What if I ask them "How does she spend her time? What's going through her mind? Is she still in her prime?" What is the answer? "She won't write you back If you write her After getting drunk She don't wanna call you She won't send you A present for Christmas You won't have a chance to meet Not in this life anymore Anymore" Well, fine, I don't mind See this familiar face Of someone that you embraced With whom you were spending days In early December Scroll down the page of life Memories materialize Pictures of you and I Side by side I check her Facebook page again I do this constantly every day 'Cause I'm a social media maniac Okay, I see the same unnatural pose I see the hashtags in every post You never know which one will trend And which one will get more likes and comments She'd like to know I won't write you Don't you ever write me I ain't gonna call you up Neither are you It's a shame but We could then realize That we won't meet again And I won't recognize your number If you ever call me I won't write you I have my pride Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh All this was known from the start Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I won't send you a card on your birthday Don't wanna meet by chance in a cafe I got used to Spying on you But that ain't worth it You ain't worth it

Ennui, Pt. 2 05:33
(x4) How to express my feelings more clearly? I don't know Stop drinking Stop thinking Stop lying Stop smoking Stop thinking Stop lying Stop dreaming Stop drinking Stop thinking Stop asking stupid questions Stop dreaming (x5) I'm so fucking tired of confronting my mind I'm so fucking tired of controlling my mind (x2) I'm so fucking tired of confronting my mind I'm so sick and tired of confronting my mind

People care about people even when it's not necessary Winter hat is ready to be worn. I can't wait for January I'll hide my dyed hair there and become more ordinary Winter hat is ready to be worn Why do I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd Sidelong glances They shoot me from behind Circumstances made me a hater of mankind Disapproving glances are gonna eat me alive But nevermind People like to torture others I swear we are chronic morons Has not the 21st century taught us any manners? I'm outside the comfort zone within the city limits Cursed be the minute when my spirit became timid Sidelong glances They sting me from behind Circumstances made me a hater of mankind Disapproving glances are gonna eat me alive I know that I can leave it all behind Achieve a better state of mind But nevermind

What a bore! I'm lying on the floor Starring at the phone Switching damn tracks Waiting until she texts me back There's no thing that would bore me more than myself No thing that would bore me more than myself What a bore! I'm lying on a bed Doing nothing Waiting for a miracle or something There's no thing that would bore me more than myself No thing that would bore me more than myself
