Myles Yates
Mr. Erasure
(Erasure of Mr. Lonely by Tyler The Creator)
They say the room is weak
I disagree
I say the room
Is me
Attention seeker
my God, that boy
Writin' about people
Who do not exist, he's phony
I know
so bad,
Heart so low
can't lift
From the start
been so dark, call me charbroiled,
I'm playin'
I'm really
sick of me talkin'
But what the fuck else do you want ?
the only company
is the void
Been fillin' it for so long
if it's shit I enjoy (ohh)
as an adult
a shadow
love
never comes
Like
, the face
Found
mirror on the wall
The loneliest of them all
Never
never
I've never been good with
Check in on me
Ask me how I'm really doin'
press that 911
