about

This song is part depression, anxiety, addiction, and almost losing my mama. It's the feeling of coming up for air or re-entering the atmosphere. It's raw and honest and I hope you enjoy it.

lyrics

The disappointment of reinterring the air
To find the world had barely even noticed you weren’t there
To find it all all the same but knowing that you’ve changed
And every consecrated sentence rearranged

It’s only one I feel I’m coming to the surface
It’s been so long I’ve made acquaintance with the deep
Back and forth and every step I take is nervous
Wide awake but I am walking in my sleep

So we burn upon reentry
All return to bravely carry on
Oh how we tread upon the dawn

Pushing back against the powers
Tooth and nail just like its going out of style
Summon all the courage of unfolding flowers
And come to greet the ever darkness with a smile
