I see that I'm needed But I'm always left feeling Insecure and alone all along You seem so never alone You need it so Believing it all Leaving Home You leave no passionate space For me to grow Believing it all Leaving Home I see that I'm needed But I'm always left feeling Insecure and alone all along Believing it all Leaving Home I see that I'm needed But I'm always left feeling Insecure and alone all along
2.	Give It Away 03:29	lyrics	buy track
Convince me I'm unhappy Show me how far I am from where I want to be Something here must satisfy me Unless there's something wrong within Give it away Drill in that I'm unworthy Show me how far I am from who I'm meant to be Keep me outside of my body Save me from feeling all the stress inside of me Give it away What more could you ask for Give it away today

about

Abandon City returns after 5 years with a fresh approach to making the same deeply personal and vulnerable music they are known for. "Dismissive" combines Eric's signature dense guitar playing and personal vocals, with a range of nostalgic sounds to create a novel approach to alternative rock and shoegaze. Commonly writing songs as related pairs, these songs tackle emotions around reparenting and the struggle of staying present in your body.
