This is one of the first songs that I’ve written about the questions that I’ve had since leaving the Catholic faith nearly a decade ago - questions about feeling worthy of salvation, or love, or consciousness, or purpose - asked from a spiral unlike anything else I’ve experienced. Whatever your ideals may be, I hope you find a point of resonance in it. Thank you so much for listening, sending all of my love to you. x

Half-Saved
Your voice is ringing in my ears
Cadenced and ever-clear.
I’m in the middle of the road
Unrequited, uncontrolled.
Caught still in heavy-handed swing,
Swallowed while the heavens sing,
To be God-damned, but never feel a thing.
To be half-loved
Or half-saved
Still means something but it’s in a form I can’t explain.
To have half-gone
Or half-stayed,
Maybe I’ve never really found
Or really lost my way.
I held close the hands I used to know
Suspended in the altar’s glow,
Dissolved in harmony and grace
Hidden in that stranger’s face.
But still, I can’t escape the sounds
That keep me held down to the ground,
Their voices have all become too loud.
To be half-loved
Or half-saved
Still means something but it’s in a form I can’t explain.
To have half-gone
Or half-stayed,
Maybe I’ve never really found
Or really lost my way.
