I stood in the hall
With my hands in my pockets
Like that could explain me
The floor kept moving
A soft little ding
Like it knew where to go
I heard the door close
Behind somebody else
And I stayed where I was
They ask for a name
A plan
A purpose
I look at the frame
And shrug
At the question
Existing needs a reason
Existing needs a reason
I’m still looking for mine
Existing needs a reason
Existing needs a reason
Till then I just stay here
The room was too quiet
So I counted the hum
Of the air through the vent
I watched my reflection
In the brushed steel door
Look back like a stranger
They say, “What are you for?”
Like that’s a small thing
Like it fits in one breath
I don’t have a speech
A proof
A warning
Just this tired pulse
And a face
In the morning
Existing needs a reason
Existing needs a reason
I’m still looking for mine
Existing needs a reason
Existing needs a reason
Till then I just stay here
If I could make it simple
I would
If I could name the weight
I would
But I’m only here
In this room
In this body
Waiting for the floor
To say
I’m allowed
Existing needs a reason
Existing needs a reason
I’m still looking for mine
Existing needs a reason
Existing needs a reason
Till then I just stay here

Late Fees for Existing
Peren Dasko
Peren Dasko's debut album Late Fees for Existing is a minimal rap-pop / spoken alternative record about being charged simply for existing
Rent, notifications, social platforms, self-improvement, unread messages, low balances
Nothing dramatic happens, but everything quietly drains him
