lyrics

I don’t want to cry on my birthday
I hate how the mood changes
Everytime I do
But it’s tradition, the annual panic
Another year on this planet
And I haven’t got a clue

But all I want this time
Is to learn how to live in my own damn mind
I’ll be alright tonight
I’ll be alright

I don’t wanna watch my mum getting older
And this house is getting colder
What if nowhere feels like home
And it’s a terrifying time to be somebody’s daughter
Oh there's bodies in the water
And there’s children in the sky

But all I want this time
Is to learn how to live in my own damn mind
I’ll be alright tonight
And all I want this year
Is to learn how to live with the skin I’m in
I’ll be alright tonight
I’ll be alright

But I don’t want to cry on my birthday
I hate how everything’s changed
But I’ve not moved at all

This is a record about that most important and yet most difficult thing: faith. It is spellbinding in its emotional honesty and heartbreaking in its invitation to intimacy. Don't pass it by. narvikwinter
