Disappear 02:19
No face I don't know what I'd replace if I had skin left to spare No time To level up down or rewind I’m in a photo out of frame When I was strong I knew how to feel I know I'm broken Am I awake I’m tryin not to faint But I can’t look in the mirror Disappear Disappear I don't wanna disappear I don't wanna disappear No place To think about whether I'm safe I wanna turn off everything No feel To live my own surreal To live my own reveal Disappear (I don’t wanna be here) Disappear (I’m too much to breathe in) I don't wanna disappear (it’s to much to see) I don't wanna disappear ​​ I don't wanna be here I'm too much to breathe in It's too much to see here It's too much for feeling I’m tired of sleeping with my fear (4x)

Amnesia 02:55
Don't fight he’s never here One light bedside Her warmth, he can’t find The walls keep them blind Blessed by another ear I snoozed right behind Our boxes snuck underground You fell with no one around No memories ever kept No memories ever spent No memories to forget No home to lose where hearts never met No memories to forget No memories to forget No memories to forget No memories to forget I wanna know are you comin' home? Was I wrong? Did I work too much? I wanna know Where did I go wrong? Was I wrong? Was I wrong? Don't cry they’re never here No room to feel My walls have no frowns They change without sound No memories ever kept No memories ever spent No memories to forget No home to lose where hearts never met No memories to forget No memories to forget No memories to forget No memories to forget

Sleepwalker 03:21
I wont fade this time it wasn't my fault that you turned into the monsters they warned me about It's not right to say that I'm fine when you're near I'd rather be anywhere but here Faking a smile I would be another lie Where do you go to sleep at night? I wish I could sleep through it all Like you Resting all night through Like you Holding a halo too Like you Safe inside your room I wish Words woulda helped me then But I was alone Upside down I was alone I loathe trying to call for a safe home I wasn't my fault Don't say this time 'it isn't my fault how you feel' As if I made all this up in a dream It's not right to throw it at the girl Who sleepwalked in with Rorschach smeared under her eyes You shouldn't have pried. You were wrong the second try. Where do you go to sleep at night? I wish I could sleep through it all Like you Always safe at night Like you Always safe to lie Like you Always safe to try Like you Always safe

Courtship 02:50
I want to climb to the moon Seat a table for two But I’m always locked inside your room I want to drive through the stars Till you ride past my scars But your doorway folds the map of how to start The cliffdive of my old life Shattered shingles of a new roof and I Lost my pricetag and memory of my freedom Fed myself to the fire Will I ever learn (what I am worth) Will I ever learn (what I am worth) Will I ever learn (what I am worth) Will I ever learn (what I am worth) You don’t know You don’t know You don’t know You don’t know You don’t know You don’t know I want to camp near a view Mirror of my solitude I remember you, priceless and renewed

I’m asleep before bed and I’m tired enough to quit But I’m always getting up to run from dreams in my head I don’t see when I look at the hands on my face So I fix on the lines of my skin I shouldn’t exist Is the thought I can’t miss Cause it stays on repeat while strings hold up my wrists I can’t breathe while I look Like a pencil in lace But at least they’d believe that I’m thin Tears when I see what I’ve become No sign of meaning here Nothing to be sung They say that you happened to age as a woman You’re better off quiet now Silence starts to be loud (I'm dying I'm dyin) I'm dying I'm dyin To love me I'm dying I'm dyin To love me Let me start again First I need me dead To let another life crawl out from this rut I’m in Get me lower now So I remember how To believe in something anything Tears when I scream that I’m nothing Somehow I’m breathing here Buried but alive now Tears are what tell me I’m something That I wanna be here That I wanna be found I'm dying I'm dyin To love me (I wanna live like I know) I'm dying I'm dyin To love me

Lovepain 02:31
How can I tell you what fills my hide Gory and beautiful side by side Harrowed by impulse strewn through the times Drip by drip I’m pale from losing my Grip by grip, I fall til pain arrives I cant Cant speak Speak love Love unless Unless it’s pain It’s pain painful (2x) Your love waited over moving lines Pages here displaced by different strides I never imagined they'd meet inside Slip by slip, I blend into every lie Trip by trip, nothing to recognize Drip by drip, pale from losing my Grip by grip, I fall til pain arrives (I can't show my hands I can't see myself) I cant Cant speak Speak love Love unless Unless it’s pain It’s pain painful (2x)

Sometimes you’re the only one watching Sometimes you’re the only one who listens I don’t know if I’m here otherwise I don’t know if I’m here Most times I’m a ghost in my bedroom Most times I can’t remember how I used to Feel alive without you Feel alive Alive Alive Alive Sometimes you’re the only who knows me Sometimes you’re my failure to breathe and I Love gasping for air I don’t know how to care otherwise All times I’m hollowed of meaning All times I’m blurred inside my feelings Outside of you Outside of you

Death Dream 02:40
I fell in a death dream Longed when I awoke I still dream of falling both to death and love I fell in a death dream Longed when I awoke I still dream of falling both to death and love I rise to live a nightmare Walking dead and broke I can’t drink to hydrate soaked in debt and sun Do I stand on buildings Or sprawl on cement How do I revive a mind that craves the end I don’t know tomorrow I don’t know my fate You are everything that holds my will to stay I fell in a love dream Caught by you alone I live dreams of loving both while asleep and woke

Gone 02:59
Gone Swept overnight but i don’t want to return To everything lost I had nothing to lose all along Cleansed of my pride But I like how it burns To bandage my strife And watch all my walls vanish I'll leave it all behind Dead inside and running out of time Climb into the wilderness of my mind I was already (gone) Gone Walked through the room behind my eyes it’s been a while — since I’ve seen this side All of my dreams covered But this path wasn’t mine How long have I been running dead and blinded Way too fast to know it’s been a lie I was already gone I'll leave it all behind Dead inside and running out of time Climb into the wilderness of my mind I was already gone So I left it all behind Died inside and ran out of time Climbed into the wilderness of mine I was already gone I was already gone I was already

about

ELYP Glendale, California

Incessantly existential, Los Angeles-based Elyp is the dyslexic, brooding underbelly of an otherwise making face. Her music processes self-suppression and self-loathing with glass harmonies and erratic music production that leans cinematic. Elyp's music sounds akin to Sylvan Esso and Kimbra with vocal styling similar to Fiona Apple. ... more
