[Verse 1]
When my life flashes before my eyes
Will I be ready or beg for more time?
Nothing scares me like my irrelevance
That's why I fill every silence with nonsense
From tomorrow on I'm gonna be legit
No more saying things for the hell of it
You know I get carried away with things
I just wanted you to find me interesting
[Chorus]
Days avalanche me
Another year flees the scene
I won't shakе hands with the end
But it's breathing down my nеck
[Verse 2]
My birthday wasn't happy, it was bittersweet
When they lit the caterpillar, I wanted to scream
I don't wanna seem ungrateful, I just hate goodbyes
After all I spent half this year inside
Purgatory's full of bad landlords
And people I pretend not to see when I'm hungover
Is it too late then for apologies
When youre already holding onto the grim reapers sleeve?
[Chorus]
These days avalanche me
Another year flees the scene
I can't shake hands with the end
But it's breathing down my neck
I used to wish I was someone else
But I could never fully commit
So I guess it's just me and me
And the world in between
[Bridge]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
[Outro]
When my life flashes before my eyes
I hope that it's Academy worthy
And if it is can Leo play me
I know that's a big claim in self confidence
Did I ever find out if my name was correct?
Or did I just get used to it?
Did I do it all? Did I walk the Great Wall?
Is it possible I'll be hungry forever?
I'll be hungry forever, I'll be hungry forever

“purgatory” is about the weight of time and the perpetual fear of reaching the end of your life, unsatisfied with how you’d spent it. The song came out of a slump phase, I wasn’t really a fan of myself and honestly just felt rather lost. In ways that felt like it’s own purgatory. I was trying to fig...
