“Cry Wolf,” the second single this summer from Skylar Spence since the 2015 breakout debut LP, Prom King. It’s essentially a summarization of a long period of time, beginning when he finished the Pixel Empire tour with Madeon and moved into a small room in a Brooklyn apartment.
[Verse 1]
I spun out of control
But I’m gonna make it better
I’m gonna ask for help
And I’ll get it when I need it
Felt like I was stuck in a hole
I thought it wouldn’t last forever
The calendar crumbled
I was washed like old graffiti
I know you won’t believe me
[Pre-Chorus]
But it’s true
When I had nothing to do
I spent a weekend in my bed
One week could turn into two
[Chorus]
I can’t keep crying anymore
Pick myself up off the floor
You’ve heard it all before
I know you won’t believe me
I know you won’t believe me
If I got on my knees before
I lost myself but I found more
I know you’ve heard it all before
I know you won’t believe me
I know you won’t believe me
[Verse 2]
If I told you so
I got to just let it go
Too much time spent all alone
Watching history repeating
Since I been out on my own
I learnt there’s no place like home
So better be humble
Now I practice what I’m preaching
I know you won’t believe me
But it’s true
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I can’t keep crying anymore
Pick myself up off the floor
You’ve heard it all before
I know you won’t believe me
I know you won’t believe me
If I got on my knees before
I lost myself but I found more
I know you’ve heard it all before
I know you won’t believe me
I know you won’t believe me
[Outro]
I know you won’t believe me
I know you won’t believe me
I know you won’t believe me
I know
