about

This is about a time when I just felt stuck. I didn't want to be there but I also had nowhere else to go and so this song came out.

lyrics

It's a trap
you know what they say
you're here for a month or you never leave

it's a trap
they lure you in for the summer
but it turns into eternity

you're friends try to make you stay
say that its okay
to spend a little longer

but if you wait to long forget where you belong
you'll wake up thirty years later

it's a trap
they say you're here for a good time
but not for a long time

it's a trap
they give you cheap rent
and then you kinda wanna stay

get out get out
while you can or it will turn into hotel california
you'll say that you'll move on
but now its been too long
and you're stuck

it's a trap
it's a trap
and its too late to try and deny it

it's a trap
it's a trap
and you wasted your whole life trying to fight it
