one may think we're alright, but we need pills to sleep at night. we need lies to make it through the day, we're not okay.

The teenage years are a whirlpool of happiness, frustration, recklessness, tears, friendships, relationships and so much more. At times, you hated being a teenager, feeling as though you have no control over your life but then you grow older, and responsibilities sink in, and you would give anything to go back to those hormonal teenage years.

Tired Bones is the feeling you get after a long day or week, when you retreat to your bed, lay down and just feel the weight of all your sadness sinking in. You think of everything and anything, and after holding it all together for so long, you just let it all out. At least that's what I hope this playlist expresses.
