lyrics

Dark, dark, dark it’s dark
Down in my heart it’s dark
Capsized and caught off-guard
Down in my heart it’s dark
Down in my heart it’s dark.

When, when, when again
Will I become the woman I’ve been
And break the branch that barely bends
Beneath my present efforts
Beneath my present efforts



AH HA AH HA AH AH HA

What did they expect from me? Love and string and endless bead?
But I don’t wear much jewelry
I cannot hold everything

I only have two hands.
I only have two hands and brittle bones, there are things so heavy I just had to let them go
And watch them glide, like a bird that found it’s window and had to go home
Had to go home
Because some lungs just need open air while others breathe what’s barely there
And some can sip to quench a thirst while others must be fully immersed
And me I find myself begging to drown, saturated in shimmer and sound
So give me breath and spirit song, til i’m gone, till i'm waterlogged
Rhythm, melody and verse til it hurts, til it hurts
I’m a crumbling mess at my very best
Take it or leave it but let me rest, til I’ve mended
Til I’m whole again
Til I’ve befriended
My own soul again
Til it hurts, til it sparks, til I’m sure, til it’s dark

Til it hurts, til it sparks, til I’m sure, til it’s dark dark dark it’s dark
Down in my heart it’s dark
Dark dark dark it’s dark
Down in my heart it’s dark.
