i'm in the way
Melancholic dream pop, slow-core, intimate ethereal male vocals, heavy reverb, fuzzy distorted guitar, minimalist drums, emotional, yearning, lo-fi aesthetic, 90s indie rock influence, atmospheric, somber. Hazy textures. No big chorus.

Lyrics
Verse 1
I see the people talking, see them smile,
I try to mirror them for just a while.
But I feel like an imposter when they're near,
A sudden silence born of awkward fear.
An awkward guest who stayed a day too long,
The subtle noise inside a quiet song.
A fevered dream within a waking mind,
The jagged edge that no one meant to find.
Refrain
I’m just a burden on your floor,
Damaged goods left at the door.
I'm present, but never there.
I'm just the weight you have to bear,
(I'm sorry)
Verse 2
Is there a space for a broken soul?
A quiet grave to make the fractured whole?
If I stepped back and let the darkness take,
The world I failed would be a better place
Bridge
I’m sorry for the space I take.
I’m sorry for the noise I make.
I’m sorry that I’m standing here.
I’m sorry I can't disappear.
Refrain
I’m just a burden on your floor,
Damaged goods left at the door.
I'm present, but never there.
I'm just the weight you have to bear,
I have no home, I have no place,
I’m just a void in empty space.
I’m sorry that I’m standing here.
I’m sorry I can't disappear.
(I'm sorry)
Outro
I'm in the way again,
Again, I'm in the way, (Again)
I'm in the way again,
I'm in the way.
