Why do I feel tired at 22
Like all my dreams fell through?
Like my heart wears out in its cage?
Oh, it's got nothing to do with age
Why do I give myself away
Entirely, every day?
Someone, hand me a locket, I need to pocket
Something beautiful today
'cause I gave my heart away
I gave my heart away
And we all gotta do that someday
But for now I hibernate
Why do I deny that I'm afraid
To kiss you then just walk away
Looking over my shoulder, I will wait 'til I am older
For this game I don't know how to play
'cause I gave my heart away
I gave my heart away
And we all gotta do that someday
But for now I hibernate
'cause I gave my heart away
I gave my heart away
And we all gotta do that someday
But for now I hibernate

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem.
From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind
