about

I hate the way that the worlds turning
Can’t look the way that the times facing
Cause the future tense is too intense
It’s gonna put me in a spin
I hate the way that the worlds turning
I learnt to swim but I’m still drowning
Got the silver bullet but I can’t load it
You’re a hologram in a wonderland
And I watch you fade away
I learnt to swim but I’m still drowning
Been up all night
Can’t find my mind
I’ve been living and loving with my eyes wide shut
I’ve been numbing my pain
But I can’t kill shame
I’ve been living and loving with my eyes wide shut
I feel alone and I can’t help it
So dark in here that I punch shadows
But I’m holding hands with the rays of light
As they cut me down to size
I feel alone and I can’t help it
Been up all night
Can’t find my mind
I’ve been living and loving with my eyes wide shut
I’ve been numbing my pain
But I can’t kill shame
I’ve been living and loving with my eyes wide shut

about

Alfie Templeman England, UK

Templeman’s songs max on melody, with lovelorn lyrics midway between a resigned shrug and a prolonged swoon, and are uniformly lovely. If this is what he can come up with alone in his room at the age of 15, he has to be one to watch closely.
