Paper Bee - The Choice to be Heard and Not Seen
lyrics:
the most desolate stretches of highway surround me when I say I am home
stretching out like the sorest of arms through the heat reaching to the sea grasping
towards a life that was never mine
towards my ghosts in the thickest darkest pines
where the moon dappled snow takes the form of a hearts deepest fears
they can find you in your room under the covers with all the lights on
it doesn't matter thousands of miles only makes them stronger
I fell in love with the shadow you cast it enveloped the whole coast it let me remain
exiled by nothing married to escape
I had hoped to wake up in the morning as oh something else anything anything else
oh the undertow grasps at my ankles and I'm tumbling I remain spinning
through the dark to stay out at sea where there is no easy answer and I am only me
and the foam on the waves isn't safe but it's something like home
it's a process we've been told but legends of comfort are haunting our bones
it doesn't matter trying to change only makes it harder
I fell in love with ideas of boys salvation disgust validation and pain
take my awful body wrap me in lace and drench me in honey
diving back into the salt we are safe no boys allowed can this just be my place?
scream under water bubbles come out is this tears or laughter?
mom I'm so sorry I can't be your girl I am a strange creature of sadness and words
but I am not leaving you are the one who showed me the ocean
