about

This song is about coming of age during hard times and trying to retain your humanity.

lyrics

The summer months felt like a turbulent dryer
An unsettled stomach filled with balls of fire
I long for the chill of that November air
But forget that with winter comes lonesome despair.

Spring was no better alone trapped inside
Couldn’t run from myself not a place left to hide
Had to face my reflection and tell her she’s dead
Just a hollow skull sinking with bones made of lead

And 22 feels like a coming of age
In the time of resistance and terror and plague
When I’m finally learning who I want to be
The whole worlds crashing down like a storm on the sea

I’ve been running away from the idea love
Wore my heart on his sleeve held his hand like a glove
I said to myself I’d give all that I can
But instead my heart slipped through his fingers like sand

And life is so strange
And things can change in a day
And I hope that I have enough love left to give away

Theres an apocalypse coming we must be prepared
We’ve been saying it for years but still nobody cares
You’ve deprived us of what little future we had
As you poison the water and burn through the land

And maybe I’m selfish or bitter or brash
But a life is worth more than a pile of cash
It’s so tempting to give in or just change my mind
But I have to believe that we all can be kind

And life is so strange
And things can change in a day
And I hope that I have enough love left to give away

I am just a shell of feelings
Learning to find strength and healing
I’ve been jaded, past lives faded
Empty, weighted, contemplated
Doing things that I’m ashamed of
Can’t decide what I’m afraid of
Never knowing what’s in store
Or finding out and wanting more

And life is so strange
And things can change in a day
And I hope that I have enough love left to give away
