7 hours spent outside with bikes and crowds 7 pounds born to skip the roads for hours Do you miss it Will you run with me Do you miss it Will you leave with me I wanna drink my milk in my own filth I wanna dress my body in silver silk Just hold my hand Hold my hand Hold my hand Home for hours Sink is full with no one round Liquid sours Drink it and don’t make a sound Do you miss it Will you run with me Do you miss it Will you leave with me I wanna drink my milk in my own filth I wanna dress my body in silver silk Just hold my hand Hold my hand Hold my hand I wanna drink my milk in my own filth I wanna dress my body in silver silk Just hold my hand Hold my hand Hold my hand

Time facedown See the sights walk round Is this a real place Haven’t quite decided if I take up too much space Three floors above my room it’s a vertigo I know In real time bring me back bring me back Three doors back to my youth it’s a time I can’t outgrow Blue world take it back take it back Pride facedown I dressed nice From the waist down Is this a real place Haven’t quite decided if I take up too much space Three floors above my room it’s a vertigo I know In real time bring me back bring me back Three doors back to my youth it’s a time I can’t outgrow Blue world take it back take it back Blue world take it back take it back Three floors above my room it’s a vertigo I know In real time bring me back bring me back Three doors back to my youth it’s a time I can’t outgrow Blue world take it back take it back Blue world take it back take it back

Jude walk over would you be so kind I need a friendly face and a chat till 9 Jude stay over would you be so kind A predawn post day pause in time Would you to spend a holiday inside with me Oh come and see The sights between all these four walls each night Jude stay till morning know you won’t mind Jude stay forever would you be so kind Would you to spend a holiday inside with me Oh come and see The sights between all these four walls each night Would you spend your time with me Your company is all I need Me and you between these four walls each night Jude I Think that it’s high time Could you quiet my mind Could you quiet my mind Would you to spend a holiday inside with me Oh come and see The sights between all these four walls each night Would you spend your time with me Your company is all I need Tangled up in these four walls each night

I’m watching porn on my phone just to test what I know Don’t do it a lot just collect every piece that I’m taught Feed my hunger No shame I’m just a beginner It’s my own wonder Don’t press I’m just a beginner If what I enjoy Checks a box For a mind of a whore Touch myself twice To fulfil what I can’t find outside I fulfil what I’m dying to find Feed my hunger No shame I’m just a beginner It’s my own wonder Don’t press I’m just a beginner No shame I’m just a beginner No shame I’m just a beginner No shame I’m just a beginner No shame I’m just a beginner

Heaven for an hour when I wake I’m a drop in the water in the lake Do do do do do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do do do do do Heaven for an hour as I walk I’m a cloud for a moment then it stops Do do do do do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do do do do do Let me soak and wash into the crowd Throw my body in spin me around Oh Freeze frame Forget my name Freeze frame Forget my name I’m a stone on a highest mountain top My scream is a quiet little cough Do do do do do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do do do do do If a tree falls in the forest Will it rot Does it matter Do they even hear me talk Let me soak and wash into the crowd Throw my body in spin me around Oh Freeze frame Forget my name Freeze frame Forget my name

Obstruction In my living room Your hair stuck in my vacuum Cut it out with a knife Cut it out with a knife Cut it out with a knife Cut it out with a knife Obstruction In my afternoon Stand before me Moldy little man Take it up with god Take it up with god Take it up with god Take it up with god Dust is not so different from you Uninvited hiding in my living room Filling up my lungs Filling up my lungs Filling up my lungs Filling up my lungs Your apology Bottle it inside me Because I’m a good person I’m a good person I’m a good person I’m a good person I’m a good person I’m a good person I’m a good person I’m a good person Cut it out with a knife Cut it out with a knife Cut it out with a knife Cut it out with a knife

The Rot 02:22
lyrics
buy track
Lean into the rot Nap between the noise Fester like the fruit You pass by out the door Lean into the rot Potted in the sun Cradled like a babe Rest for days to come I’ve peeled, you’re peeling too Stand still, I’ll rot with you Lean into the rot Revel in the mud Count the bugs in twos Catch their every move Lean into the rot Stationary truth Wallow in the shade How could I refuse I’m green you’re turning blue Hold still I’ll rot with you Ohhhhh My bed is never made I know what I’m not One foot out the grave Leaving from the rot

about

Part of growing into adulthood means tearing down and reconstructing your narrative. This is what the Toronto-born, Los Angeles-based performer Abby Sage has done on her striking, intensely personal debut album, The Rot. It’s a lush, layered alternative pop gem where Abby’s silky vocals kaleidoscopically twirl overtop dreamy synth-and-guitar melodies. Plunging new emotional depths, Abby uses The Rot as a lens to dig into her relationship with sex, anxiety around her own health, raw moments of loneliness, and, ultimately, accepting that change is inevitable.
