Words melting in my mouth and ghosts Keep me company Live in the gutter, all by myself yeah Sicced myself on me Losers will win eventually and They told me I would blossom Well what’s the use of my brain when I Trashed it and threw it away Walk with me (such a failure) Just love me (such a failure) Did I say I’m such a failure too? Too? Don’t bother explaining theory and I Can’t even parallel park I don’t know if I’ll ever feel better you know what I’ll just sleep on a ground pad I understand why you’re replacing me oh oh I would get rid of me too So what is this thing even worth today? Is garbage allowed to stay? Walk with me (such a failure) Just love me (such a failure) Did I say I’m such a failure too? Too? And I want it Keep talking There’s something inside My mind And I need it Keep dreaming I’m just so boring When I’m snoring Walk with me (such a failure) Just love me (such a failure) Did I say I’m such a failure too? Too?

Money Boy 03:22
I’ll safe my face And memorise all of your games Even though I’m afraid No, it does matter Who’s first and who’s better ‘Cuz it’s always you, and it’s never me I never made you I despise and hate you Everyone knew Not me, but oh you You always bring it I won’t live it You always scream it I won’t take it Oh don’t you know I have been searching for hours and Look at me now Skipping around my new Favorite town I got better fast And guess what former friend You were the worst and you knew Can’t afford those headphones Can’t afford your hunger, you have no shame Meaningless conversations And all my hope, oh it went down the drain Didn’t see it so You failed me though Now I know You wronged me so But you always bring it I won’t live it You always scream it I won’t take it Oh don’t you know I have been searching for hours and Look at me now Skipping around my new Favorite town I got better fast And guess what former friend You were the worst and you knew Oh don’t you know I have been searching for hours and Look at me now Skipping around my new Favorite town I got better fast And guess what former friend You were the worst and you knew

Cactus 03:57
I look at you when I'm in your bed And I miss you even when you get back I draw lines where no one has been Before, but you shaped me again Uncomfortable, my nerves were frayed after days And I distanced myself from my old ways Thought I knew you, me, and us, but I’m a fool For not looking then but now I want you It reminds me of you It reminds me of you It reminds me of you Back from vacation but we were still there Let me know you better while we’re here Untangle my tangled mind once more I’ll hurry up, hope I can change for you Claustrophobia, it was always too much Pasts won’t change, but I think I’ve seen enough The patterns in my life have been put on hold I start emoting when you get close It reminds me of you It reminds me of you It reminds me of you Shot my yellows And all my love Is left for you Traded my blues And oh my love That is you

I would eat you again ‘Cuz you’re no longer my friend I know you pretend, just to get close Hide all my flaws Don’t wanna get caught Feel that in your heart, no you don’t Fought a million fights Lost nothing so I still hide Come on get your buddies inside, I’ll always be here And you try to control my brain It only causes me pain No, you are not a saint, so I’ve been told Rexy, my friend, I’ll see you around Rexy, my friend, I’ll see you around

i'm sad 02:41
I know it seems easy but I can't tell you Your quick thinking would be nice for me too Reassure me and I’m still not over it I focus on me cuz’ minds are messy I’m sad and you know it but I can’t wait much longer I’m sad and you know it but I can’t wait much longer I couldn’t just fight it when I saw it Why can’t you read me and say “I know you’re sad”? I’m nervous and I can never speak Well, I’m just scarred and I know that’s so weak I’m sad and you know it but I can’t wait much longer I’m sad and you know it but I can’t wait much... The air that I breathe Oh it was never meant for me Can’t really say it Without sounding too serious I’m sad and you know it but I can’t wait much longer I’m sad and you know it but I can’t wait much longer

about

Elsa Lester, the moniker of Lisa van Kampen, started releasing music in 2016. Her name stays in your head when you listen to her albums and EP's. The tongue is witty and sharp, the music no-nonsens, slacker and rambunctious. She surprises as a young lady with a mature mind and quickly gained acclaim from 3voor12, The Daily Indie, Birp!, and The Revue. She already played at Le Mini Who, was a Popronde act in 2018, and was the support act for Big Thief, YUNGBLUD, and Surf Curse.
