“mess up" is a blend of pop, folk, electronic, and punk that deals with themes of depression, self-hatred, isolation, and acceptance.

Lyrics -
I wake up kind of sleepy and I want to go back
My eyes are kind of gloomy and I hate these bags
My mother says I should go out more
Yet she doesn't fully trust me but how could she?
I mess up all the time
I've lost count and
I've told so many lies
To myself and
I am such a waste of a life
Oh, forget about it
But when I close my eyes I'll just fall asleep
In a state of constant conflict, I am certain I'm a burden
I watch my head as my heart prepares annihilation
Bleeding and crawling
On the floor
I just keep calling but I keep getting ignored
But I will take it anyway
I mess up all the time
I've lost count and
I've told so many lies
To myself and
I am such a waste of a life
Oh, forget about it
But when I close my eyes I'll just fall asleepmore
