about

the single for my upcoming lp, outta the woods <3 about finding your voice after it's been taken.

lyrics

I was stupid
A total fool
You played me like a game of chess
Used me like a tool

Dangled all your love
Like a carrot on a string
Never enough
But I'd give anything

You toyed with us all, day after day
Kept us apart, desperate, and dazed
But I trusted you
Oh, I trusted you
Just a crumb of your kindness
Your lying divine-ness
And I was strangled by your roots

You made me hate my own voice
Not like I ever had a choice
Why would I keep what couldn't compete
For your love

I try to tear it from my own throat
Sacrifice what doesn't have hope
Make all the space for what little remains
So you see it in me

All of us just pawns in your game
Tragically hopeful, desperate and dazed
I think you wanted it
Oh, you wanted it
To rule as you saw fit, high off what you inflict
Charming us foolish with your wit

Now, we're not alone
Cracks begin to show
In that crown atop your head
Under what's all being said

We've found one another
Come clean to each other
Stumbled at last into the sun
Outta the woods
Free of your hooks
A new story's begun

All of us once, part of your play
Tragically hopeless, desperate and dazed
We've built our new home
And we've slammed its door
And now you can't hurt us
You can't burn us
Trust you're not welcome anymore

So this voice had power after all
