lyrics

I look good on the surface
There are no breaks to see
But as I pull you closer
You won't recognize me
I don't wanna feel
So I just fake the way you feel me
And by the time you walk away
You'll never have been with me

I don't mean to disappear
Showing every side of fear
I don't mean to say goodbye
But you know I'd rather stay inside
You can't guess when I'll appear
What's in my head is never clear
You shouldn't have to waste your time
Tryin'
Tryin', tryin'

Push away, push away
Can't be surprised

Mirroring my own way
Reflect you to yourself
But there's no room for me
In the image I project
Cause I'm a ghost, a wisp, a specter
Haunting everything
When you reach out for me
There's nothing there to believe in

I vanish out loud
I vanish out loud
Oooooh

I don't mean to disappear
Showing every side of fear
I don't mean to say goodbye
But you know I'd rather stay inside
You can't guess when I'll appear
What's in my head is never clear
You shouldn't have to waste your time
Tryin'
Tryin', tryin'

I don't mean to disappear
Showing every side of fear
I don't mean to say goodbye
But you know I'd rather stay inside
You can't guess when I'll appear
What's in my head is never clear
You shouldn't have to waste your time
Tryin'
Tryin', tryin'

ruxandra Los Angeles, California

Having honed her skills playing in bands in Los Angeles, Roxy Radulescu now makes self-described “complex slow-jam bummers” under her Romanian first name: ruxandra. Densely layered instruments and vocals, a nostalgic bent and a straightforward lyrical sensibility all evoke an earnestness matured by the intricacies of being alive in the world. ... more
