lyrics

(The boys and the girls with the beautiful hair)

Watching
Your face from an empty room
It's exciting
I don't know what else I can do
Forgetting
Where the lines should've crossed
It matters
Only to those who lost

I never existed in your eyes
You act like it's a big surprise
This baggage still belongs to me
The nametag fits and so does the key
My thoughts parachuting, my sky is gray
Outside my windows it's another day
And I can't help but look and stare
At the boys and the girls with the beautiful hair

The hours pass and I'm still here
While you are now nowhere near
I wish that you could just say my name
The union makes our souls combined
But I can't save you though I've tried
We are filled to brim with our pain

I'm your savior
But only inside my head
I'm the only one
Who took apart the skin you shed
I wish I was so special to you
I need to be real but I'm still see-through
I'm not your number one
But look how close have I become

The hours pass and I'm still here
While you are now nowhere near
I wish that you could just say my name
The union makes our souls combined
But I can't save you though I've tried
We are filled to brim with our pain

I am so fucked up
My hair turned gray, my eyes went blind
Your voice is missing
When you're not here I lose my mind
My mind
So this is it
This is my personal hell
My soul is broken
Oh, way beyond repair

Yes

This poison
That you spit inside my mouth
The sweetness of it
That now I cannot live without
Without
This union
Was supposed to make me strong
But I'm falling apart
And everything is wrong

(The boys and the girls with the beautiful hair)

about

Hey Karen Rotterdam, Netherlands

Hey Karen is an alias for Bartek Urban, who creates electronica, synthpop, and industrial - the stuff that both melts your heart and your brain.
Home recordings and lo-fi aesthetic aren't necessarily a bad thing, since he believes the feeling is more important. A full scope of that feeling can be seen in his audiovisual live shows, which he regularly performs since 2011.
