Track 9 from my album Turbulence
LYRICS
Verse:
Fear, pain, indecision
Head, heart, hard collision
Lately I’ve been constantly out of hope
Life, love, the world around me
Poor, rich, the bourgeoisie
Everyone’s fighting ‘bout the wrong things
Pre-chorus:
Growing up I wasn’t tough
Mentally wore iron handcuffs
These last few years I’ve hardened up
Making myself anew
Chorus:
Though I’ve always been more like water
Malleable to a fault
I know I need to kill her with fire
Throw her out on the asphalt
Let the flames consume all of me
Allow myself to choke
Watch my skin burn into debris
Drown myself in the smoke
Verse:
Death, loss, of the child
Men,tal, depression mild
Took over my brain at just fourteen
Deaf, blind, were those around me
Un,clear, just what I need
Unable to communicate well
Pre-chorus:
Growing up I wasn’t tough
Mentally wore iron handcuffs
These last few years I’ve hardened up
Making myself anew
Chorus:
Though I’ve always been more like water
Malleable to a fault
I know I need to kill her with fire
Throw her out on the asphalt
Let the flames consume all of me
Allow myself to choke
Watch my skin burn into debris
Drown myself in the smoke
Bridge:
I know I’m not perfect
But dammit I am worth it
Not happy with my life
But I believe I can change my life
Chorus:
Though I’ve always been more like water
Malleable to a fault
I know I need to kill her with fire
Throw her out on the asphalt
Let the flames consume all of me
Allow myself to choke
Watch my skin burn into debris
Drown myself in the smoke
Ending:
I set my past self on fire
Killed her cause I had ta
Now I need a renaissance
Welcome to my renaissance
