My Broke Apocalypse by Melodie Yvonne

I turn up the music
I’m swimming in you
Swimming in you
With devotion so true
Until I wake up
And realize again
Time has run out
You left in the end

Now it’s my broke
Apocalypse
My eclipsed sunshine trip
My fucking life to live
Now how I want to live

Tryin’ to ride life
Like I’m on the rails
But how do I know you’re
Not blowin’ the sails
Shouldn’t have put you up
High on that shelf
Cause you fell right off
And I’m still by myself

And it’s my broke
Apocalypse
My eclipsed sunshine trip
My fucking life to live
Now how I want to live

My broke
Apocalypse
My eclipsed sunshine trip
Give me the life I live
Now I’m done givin’ in

My broke
Apocalypse
My eclipsed sunshine trip
My lonely life to live
Now I don’t wanna live

My broke
Apocalypse
My eclipsed sunshine trip
My lonely life to live
Now I’m not gonna live
