IX. Wallflower
Produced, written, and performed by Steven Kou
I was sent to be in this room
I crawl into this cocoon
and I hope, I hope somebody tugs me
Should I be wrung around, fanned out, or intertwined our bodies tonight?
and I let you hear my message
but you answer in the past tense
and you left me unexpected
only one thing is for certain
I’m holding onto life with my back against the wall
I’m desperate for love while I do nothing at all
and I hope, I hope somebody tugs me
Should I be wrapped around, handed out in a passed-out alley tonight
and I hope, I hope somebody tugs me
Should I be wrung around, fanned out, or intertwined our bodies tonight?
notes:
i came back from japan and made this in july 2026.
also a tribute to the era of dream pop of the 90s.
