This is the second single off of my EP 'Paperskin'🖤🖤🖤
[The lyric video was created by Omri]

The majority of the inspiration for this EP was focused and intertwined with my struggles to find happiness and reflects deeply on my fears and depression. Since I was young, music has been extremely therapeutic to me and felt like the only true light in a very dark world. Linkin Park was my greatest source of inspiration and helped me forge motivation and passion out of my depression. Their emotionally charged writing & productions contrasted their vulnerable & enlightening lyrics in a god-like fashion and have been deeply rooted in my soul. My own writing is simply a form of therapy for myself, it helps me see the beauty in life even if it's only for a short moment. I only hope that my music brings motivation & inspiration for others and can help lead them out of their own darkness🖤

Omri's work is simply too fucking amazing in every beautifully complex way possible. About a year ago I randomly found his ungodly gem of a song called 'Save Me' and reached out to him immediately. Lucky enough he was living about 10 minutes away from me in LA so we linked up and worked on a few tracks. Hope you enjoy this first one🖤

Definitely look out for Omri's upcoming releases, his unreleased tracks are some of the most captivating pieces of work that I've ever heard.

Lyrics🖤
Don't make a fuss cause I've made my bed
Don't waste your time cause I'm in my head
These goodbyes are better left unsaid
I'm at a loss and I'm better off dead
Or is there anything
More than this?

I'm
I'm on a fall
Oh
I'm on a fall

This is not the end
It's more of a would be
An alternate ending
I'm not supposed to see

Don't need your best hope
Cause I'm almost not afraid
I just need a new soul
Cause I'm better off
Dead

I'm better off dead
I'm better off
