lyrics

God knows I’m terrified
Of all these things I was taught to hide
Oh lover won’t you look at me
As tears stream down my cheeks
For I want you to see me when I’m weak

And there are days in which I cry
From all of those self-imposed binds of mine
If I never know the joy of loving you
Its cuz it seems I’ve bound my happiness up in them too
For I know my mind can come and go
But there are some things you should know
My joy is proportionate to my throes
My passion needs a home!

Oh my babe
My fear is no longer my pain
It’s my ability to always say
How much I need you
When I am afraid
Cuz I’ve been in harm’s way
So I hid myself away
But now I’m asking you
Please
Keep me safe

God knows I’m terrified
That no one could ever love
Someone with a mind like mine
So please just look at me
Decide now if you’ll help me
Rip out these seams
Oh will you accept me?
Come what madness we make be.

Oh and God knows that I’m terrified
That I’ll always have to hide
Or hold back from this life
For I wanna feel it all with you
I wanna touch the fire and let it burn me too
Make me fall the way lovers do

Oh and babe
My fears no longer my pain
It’s my ability to always say
How much I need you
And not be so, so
Afraid
Oh won’t you please just keep me safe?

Oh won’t you pull me into your arms
And take care of all my only thoughts
And help me untie these restraints
That dig into my ribcage
For now I’ll need all
That precious space

And God knows that I am terrified
That we won’t have enough time
For all this hope that I still feel
And all this love I have yet to give
I am watered
I am basked now in the light

Oh my babe
My fear is no longer my pain
It’s my ability to always say
How much I love you
Cuz in you
Yes in you
I am safe.
Oh please just keep me safe.
Safe.

“ I paint figures that make beautiful my own vulnerabilities. I sing about what makes me blush. This is me connecting in the way I know how.. For these parts we tend to hide, they too have a desire to be known.”
