about

A song about the pain of loving yourself through transition

lyrics

The tears don't dry while you're drowning
they only get harder to see
How can you live to the fullest
when you're never where you're meant to be

One foot in the grave and you're sinking
deeper and deeper each day
Three little words on the tip of your tongue
but they're harder than ever to say

And I'll never forget what you did for me
when I was a lost little boy
Hiding away from everything
All the love the pain and the joy
All those years
Locked away
Running from something I never could fight anyway

And it hurts just to face your reflection
in the shattered glass of your tears
run and you hide but you can't seem to find
a day of relief from your fears

But it's never too late to wake up
and notice that you had it good
I've never been too superstitious
but you've got me knocking on wood

And I'll never forget what you did for me
when I was a lost little girl
Hiding away from everything
all the love the pain and the world
All those years
Locked away
Running from something I never could fight anyway

Well I'm opening up my eyes now
and I'm blinded by what I see
Not sure who I am at the moment but I'm
becoming much safer to be

One foot in the grave and I'm sinking
Deeper and deeper each day
Three little words on the tip of my tongue
but they're harder than hell to say

But I'll never forget what you did for me
When I was a lost little girl
Hiding away from everything
All the love the pain and the world
All those years
Locked away
Running from something I never could fight anyway

Second favourite song: Impostor Syndrome. I cried to this album, it feels raw and emotional, volatile and vulnerable. It helps to process my own emotion to hear Jo sing about those big feelings and this album came to me in just the moment I needed it. >xenocrat
