9TAILS - the cut

Copied!

{intro}
We're back to that? are we back there?
(you are my fire)
What about the past couple of days? they happened, you know
(the one desire)
I know that they happened, and they were wonderful. but they were also very irresponsible
(believe when i say)
I have a fiancé waiting for me at a hotel who's going to be crushed when he finds out what i did
(i want it that way)
So you make love to me, and go back to your husband. was that your plan? was that a test i didn't pass?
No, i made a promise to a man. he gave me a ring and i gave him my word. (i never make the cut anymore)
And your word is shot to hell now, don't ya think?
I don't know. i'll find out when i talk to him. (years pass but i still sell myself short)
It's not about keeping your promises, and it's not about following your heart. it's about security. (and i've been everything i could and i've been more)
What's that supposed to mean?
Money. he's got a lot of money!
Now, i hate you. you stupid bastard
If you leave here, i hate you. (and it'll pass but it'll leave my heart torn)

{chorus}
I never make the cut anymore
Years pass but i still sell myself short
And i've been everything i could and i've been more
And it'll pass but it'll leave my heart torn

{verse}
Shellings from the verbal spray fall to the ground (yeah)
Let it out but please stop shouting so loud
Words of hatred and disdain fall from your mouth (disdain)
Let it out, kill me before you break down
I cannot help that i'm talking too much
I made these choices i need to own up (i need to own up)
All of these voices tell me to grow up
But when i feel her touch i will always tense up
All of these voices are hurting my ears
Words from her texts will reflect in my tears
How did you find me, i'm hidden in fear
She always told me i was a bit weird

{chorus}
I never make the cut anymore
Years pass but i still sell myself short
And i've been everything i could and i've been more
And it'll pass but it'll leave my heart torn

{outro}
But don't you take the easy way out
What easy way? there is no easy way, no matter what i do, somebody gets hurt
Would you stop thinking about what everyone wants? stop thinking about what i want, what he wants, what your parents want
What do you want?
It's not that simple
What... do... you... want? god damn it what do you want?
I have to go

Biography

edit bio

9TAILS, also known as Miles Lenehan, was a Toronto based rapper, singer, songwriter and producer originally known for his very emotional and sad music.

At the end of 2018, he announced he was quitting music, not because he didn’t like making it, but because it was putting a lot of pressure on him, making his mental health worsen. Subsequently, he deleted all his social media, he also deleted every song he had from streaming services, and only left his SoundCloud page alive as an archive.

Almost 2 months after he left, a new artist named sewerperson emerged, which had a similar voice to 9TAILS, but with a very different style. The man behind sewerperson was later discovered to be indeed Miles.
