CD4TC Everything Indie and more. The angelic voice of Dolores O'Riordan meets the tight instrumental of Hers. One of the decade's best projects so far. Favorite track: stuck in my mind..

Who’s gonna miss you when there are too many thoughts in your head Who’s gonna miss you When you think it's the end Who’s gonna miss you When you are all alone with no place to call home No one to pick up the phone
2.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah AaahDaaaaDaaaDaaaa DooDooDoooooooooo I want you to be mine Could you please hold me tight Could you just decide Stay with me I want to say your name In a different way than before I want us to be more So why did we break our ties I should’ve never have lied Should’ve never said goodnight For one last time So could you just decide To stay with me Cause I want you to be mine Hold me tight (Yaaay)
3.
I keep on falling for your eyes when they shimmer in the sky And I love your little grin when I lift up your chin And I wonder where you have been All my life Cause youuuuuuuuuuuuu Are stuck in my mind Stuck in my mind (x6) Cause you make me so inexplicably happy You are like a lovely dream And the way you gleam just makes me wanna scream Yes it’s the way you shine Cause your stuck in my mind (x3) (jazz hands)
4.
I’m starting at the ceiling once again i cannot sleep It’s 4 am I’m listen to music cause it’s therapy My mind is melting and I don’t know what’s reality I guess it’s all my mistakes that made me this feel way I mean I tend to shy away while I slowly decay Don’t even bother asking me how I’m doing cause I don’t even know myself My life’s a fucking hell Here I go once again overreacting for no reason I swear that I'm fine I say this while overthink everything that is in my fucking sight In my fucking sight People said I could change if I think more positively Well i’ve tried that shit guess what I’m still not fucking happy I’m still not fucking happy I wonder why I was built this way cause every day I’m going insane Instead I just hopelessly try to forget everything cause I don’t wanna live my life this way I wonder why I was built this way cause everyday I’m going insane I wish I could just be left behind get hit by a car and fucking die Goodbye to all the people who thought I had chance in this cruel life goodbye I don’t wanna waste your time Goodbye to all the people who thought I had a chance in this cruel life I'm sorry I wasted your time (*laughs* I promise I dont want to kill myself, I promise, I promise!)

hi. this is schildpadden; 4 songs about leaving and grieving.

we are a duo formed and ended within the week after graduating from high school and the week before flying home for college. this was a journey into songwriting, harmony, alternate tunings, grief, and of course, saying goodbye. as with all things, this journey has come to an end, and we are both very excited to share it with you. we hope you enjoy schildpadden; 4 songs about leaving and grieving.
