Track 16 from FEEL MY AGE
LYRICS
INTRO
Here I am
20 years old
With what I know
Confident in how I’ve grown
In the summer
When you sat with me
I remembered
You once made me happy
VERSE
Anastasia Lane
East Orlando
The third star wars
You walked to borrow
When Smoky Bear died
I offered to hug you
Declined agreed to see
A play at the high school
You touched my braid
I smiled, hoping
That through all the pain
You’d join me in joking
CHORUS
Here I am
20 years old
With what I know
Confident in how I’ve grown
In the summer
When you sat with me
I remembered
You once made me happy
VERSE
Lovers Key Lane
Two blocks over
You snuck out to see me
To be my lover
The hoops you had to jump through
Just to go runnin’
Took the time to walk with me
Considered me funny
Though you were sweaty
I knew I wanted that hug
Showed me your knowledge
About mourning doves
CHORUS
Here I am
20 years old
With what I know
Confident in how I’ve grown
In the summer
When you sat with me
I remembered
You once made me happy
And I’m glad you’re not in hell
I hope Jenna treats you well
When you hugged me now and then
I was thanking you, Bren
I can’t follow you online
Seeing pictures makes me cry
But if I saw you in person,
I’d be thanking you, Bren
BRIDGE
Haven’t seen your sister in two years
Your cats still bring me to tears
You mom still loves and talks to me
Your grandma still wants us to meet
Your dad doesn’t how to act
Your aunt friended me so I followed her back
Haven’t seen your best friend since August
I’ve moved on but confused to be honest
CHORUS
Here I am
20 years old
With what I know
Confident in how I’ve grown
In the summer
When you sat with me
I remembered
You once made me happy
And I’m glad you’re not in hell
I hope Jenna treats you well
When you hugged me now and then
I was thanking you, Bren
I can’t follow you online
Seeing pictures makes me cry
But if I saw you in person,
I’d be thanking you, Bren
ENDING
Here I am
20 years old
With what I know
Confident in how I’ve grown
In the summer
When you sat with me

And I’m glad you’re not in hell
I hope Jenna treats you well
When you hugged me now and then
I was thanking you, Bren
I can’t follow you online
Seeing pictures makes me cry
But if I saw you in person,
I’d be thanking you, Bren
ENDING
Thank you, Bren

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
