Lyrics
Nobody
I was wallpaper in a burning house Peeling quiet while the smoke took names, back then I learned to fold myself like winter light Thin enough to slide beneath the door, again But roots don't ask permission from the pavement They just split the stone slow And I've been cracking like that Longer than I know I never thought anyone would notice me, other than myself I drowned in all my wicked thoughts, thinking better of everyone else Counting the strains of all my feelings Feeling the pain of all my healing I never thought I would grow I never thought I would know I kept my voice like coins beneath a mattress Spending silence like it saved me something real, pretend Wore my shadow as a second language Translating everything I couldn't feel, again But rivers don't apologize for bending They just carve where they need to go And I've been turning like that Slower than I know I never thought anyone would notice me, other than myself I drowned in all my wicked thoughts, thinking better of everyone else Counting the strains of all my feelings Feeling the pain of all my healing I never thought I would grow I never thought I would know Maybe the seed never sees the orchard Maybe the wound never meets the scar I was digging my own grave with both hands And struck water in the dark Struck water in the dark Struck water in the dark I never thought anyone would notice me, other than myself I drowned in all my wicked thoughts, thinking better of everyone else Counting the strains of all my feelings Feeling the pain of all my healing I never thought I would grow I never thought I would know Never thought I would know The fire was mine to outgrow
Keep listening
